[QUOTE=NY_Skinsfan]Everyone....I am sorry. With 2 minutes to go my wife jinxed us...she came into the room and said, "so they're going to win." I can't believe she said it but she doesn't understand...you never call a win right before the end of the game...needless to say she is mad at me now because i really lit into her about jinxing a game. so basically she lost the damn game for us...and yes i am superstitious[/QUOTE]


Which hospital should I send the flowers to? :oink:

Grandpa deserves at least a stiff smack across the back of the head, same for the wife NY_Skinsfan

LOL j/k of course

Oh well whatever, there's always next season right?

How long have we been saying that? Ugh

sometimes you have to take chances....eventually playing conservative will get you in the end..and it did. Not once has Coach Gibbs taken a chance and hoped for the best. Ramsey was playing outstanding in the second half. He was 7 for 7 on the TD drive. They were expecting the run from us and we delivered. Every now and then you have to take a chance. I agree most of the time running out the clock is a good idea..but geesh...every now and then you have to take a chance and trust in your QB also.

I can't believe we have to live with this. What a bummer. Ok. As bad as it feels for us, it's gotta feel worse for the players, right? I hope so, or they shouldn't be back.

Yeah, if there was any Redskin player laughing and joking after that loss I'd like to see them gone.

We keep saying it because danny keeps starting from scratch every season. We never get a chance to build a team more than 2 years.

Those were easily the sorriest 2 1/2 minutes of football I've ever seen. It was like the skins gave up on the game once they got the lead!

Sorriest 2 1/2 minutes? c'mon, we fought damn hard and lost it on ONE PLAY.

We did do something different today. We didn't throw a lot to Cooley. All game and all year our CBs have lined up 6-8 yards off the opponents WRs. As much as it drives me nuts, it's pretty effective for the talent we have. Why did we get away from that on a desperation drive is beyond my belief. We were probably better off blitzing Springs on that play. In Sean Taylor's defense, wasn't the slot WR running a deep post and wideout streaking towards the endzone?

Lay off of Taylor, your moms, girlfriends, wives, and especially grandpas. The cowpusses scored on a play that was easily defendable. We had stuffed them every time with the blitz, especially in the fourth quarter. Why in hell, when we had them in a situation where the only way they could win was to score a touchdown and the only way they could score a touchdown was with the deep pass, did we switch to prevent mode and give slow-assed Testaverde time to throw the ball deep? Oh, well, once again, there's always next year... We really lost the game on that punt return fumble anyway...

We had two offensive series in the last 2 1/2 minutes and could not garner 1 first down against a defense we had just drove the length of the field on. Our last defensive series we put almost zero pressure on Vinny and he beats us on a straight up fly pattern. We didn't just lose it on one play, we let the game slip away in the last 2 1/2 minutes by not finishing them off plain and simple.

I agree. Theres no one I'm gonna blame. Taylor or Springs f*cked up, what are you going to do. I just dont understand how it gets to that. I Dont know, I really have no words, but I dont think a lack of effort was the reason for this loss.

I think everyone will agree that we played "not to lose" instead of playing to win the game. Ramsey did have two INTs, but one (Kozlowski) wasn't totally his fault. We do a lot of fancy things on offfense except for throwing it deep. When will Gibbs take the handcuffs off?

Hmmmmm so what kind of draft pick are we looking at so far......... *sigh*

Who knows I dont even know what to draft. I still think we have the peices on offense to be successful. but wtf.
