Re: How will the Team respond?
 

We will redeem ourselves next week and then we have the Eagles at home. I think our guys will move on past this.

Re: How will the Team respond?
 

We are not going to respond positively to this loss if we Jason Campbell continues to look for Randle El and Cooley on almost every play. There is no effort to get Sellers, Betts, Lloyd, McCardell or Caldwell into the game. The passes to Cooley are becoming predictable as the Patriots demonstrated today.

Re: How will the Team respond?
 

How is it that at the begining of the season the world is talking about how powerful a duo Portis and Betts will be. Yet, 7 games in, neither has done anything that impressive. We are not utilizing all of our weapons.

Re: How will the Team respond?
 

It's hard to utilize weapons with no offensive line.

[quote=redwagonskins;370127]Next week is going to be a beat-down of Chad Pennington. The team was embarrassed and will take it out on the Jets. Final score - 24-6[/quote]

How can you predict that we will score 24 point on anyone? The last three weeks the offesne have scored 35 points. More homerism at it's best.

Kellen Clemens finished the game against the Bills today. Wonder if he gets the starting nod next week

Re: How will the Team respond?
 

This team should be completely ashamed of it's performance today. They were out played at every phase of the game. I was hoping that this team would not play like this, with it's pitiful display of heart and effort. And JC is in his 3rd season in the NFL, it is time that he starts playing like it. I am truely embarrassesed for this team. Today my wife gave me a birthday gift of two Redskins tickets to see the eagles play at Fedex this year. This will be her first NFL game, and I hope that this team can rebound from this terrible display of an alleged pro team playing professional football with a Hall of Fame coach.

As far as I am aware, everyone on the offensive line other than Jansen and Thomas were healthy enough to play today. Those three fumbles/ sacks were deplorable. I can't be too hard on Campbell, but Gibbs should have had this team more prepared than they were. I mean on third down after the Redskins forced a fumble, the play clearly should have been a draw play to Portis, but nnoooooooooo, let Campbell take a chance to the same side of the field to the same target (Cooley who was covered).

Re: How will the Team respond?
 

How can anyone predict a win next week w/ the pathetic offense that we've shown over the last few weeks? Sure, i think we can win, but the skins have shown me that they can't score points all season w/ the exception of one game.

I feel the same and I also received tickets for the game against Philadelphia. It better change real quick.

Re: How will the Team respond?
 

I do understand that missing two starters on the same side of the line already handcuffs the offense. But it does not require them to be one dimensional. An incompletion, a short run, and short pass, and a punt is not going to win many games. Im saying they are lacking creativity in the play selection. I cant tell you how many times the offense went three and out today using the play selection i described above. They run the same group of plays everytime while rarely taking any chances.

Like every team in the league injuries occur. The question is does this team have enough sense to adjust to its dilemma with nine games ahead of them?
If there a weakness in the line then TE's have to pick up the blitze as other teams seem to do. Portis is not the same runner he was in 2005. And Betts needs to get a certain amount of reps before he shows what he's made of.

And other teams have suffered as well. See the Rams (as has been pointed out). And when we had our TEs picking up the blitz, people started bitching about that too. You just can't please some people

[QUOTE=GiantsSuck703;370185]Todd Wade and Jason Fabini were horrible, Wade continues to whiff on blocks and hes getting Campbell killed. Missing Thomas and Jansen is huge, dont underestimate that.[/QUOTE]

It has become quite apparent that the Offensive line is not holding up it's 1/3 part of the game. Campbell is getting killed. Hopefully this season will not be his downfall like a certain other recent 1st round QB we had, who's career was shortened here in B&G land, because of a certain Ol'BallCoach!

Every game we go into with a patch-work O-line becomes a work-in-progress and a real stress-test!

Of course, line trouble and injuries are not that unusual. Ol'BallCoaches fortunately are unusual, are canned quickly, and just as quickly forgotten.

May I remind you that other than Miami, this is the first easy game this season, we are hungry to erase the board, and most importantly, its the Jets! 31-6
