Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

Dear God,

Please let the Redskins win at least 1 of the 2 games against the Eagles this season. I really do not want to have to punch all of my Eagles fans friends in the face because they won't stop talking shit about much better the Eagles are than the Redskins.

Amen.

Definitely sig worthy.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

I really wouldn't be suprised if we went into Philly and pulled a '08 on them.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

Time to look ahead.

Keys: 1.We have to run the ball effectively and control the clock. Wonder Boy, dont get pass happy!!!

2. In the redzone we must get touchdowns not fieldgoals.

3. Kareem Moore needs to have a big game giving help over the top against some fast f*cking recievers. Carlos and D Hall need to have their best game of their season so far.

4. Landry vs Vick when Vick cant find anybody...I have a feeling Haslett wants to "contain" more than "attack" which IMO could be the wrong stradgy with the 3-4.

5. Special teams need to play a complete, solid game for the first time all season.

I agree, a win on Sunday would be so nice.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

we need Silverback back, really it is that simple.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

Bottom Line we win sunday we are 2-0 in the EAST.. If not, then we are done

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

After last week I don't have any faith in this defense. I know McNabb will be highly motivated, so for his sake I hope the whole team steps up and puts it all on the line for him.

He plays nose tackle now as well? Awesome!

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

Love the optimism in this thread!

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

I think we have a chance to win in Philly. Last week's game was an anomaly, as we were amazingly emotionally flat. But we've seen that players on this team can play quite well when they are motivated and I think they will be motivated this week. Plus we might catch the Pigeons napping the way that we napped on the Rams.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

[quote=mredskins;740834]He plays nose tackle now as well? Awesome![/quote]
nope, but he helps keeps the offense on the field it will help the defense as well.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

Yeah we have a shot this week. I don't think we're nearly as bad as we showed last week. Big division game this week, they'll be ready to play. (I hope)

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

You'll get everything McNabb has to give and he is a great leader. I think he can get the rest of the boys fired UP. I expect to see a much better effort.
HELL, I expect a win! HTTR

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

This game has so much significance for more than just the standings. The kind of reception McNabb gets going back to Philly for the first time is one of the things most people will be watching for.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

They boo'd him mercilessly when he played for them. What more can they do........public stoning....
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!

Emotions play a very small role compared to misued talent and coordinator who let a very good and soon-to-be-elite QB get to his head. Now he gets to face top-tier QBs who can beat our ineffective blitzes just as well as Bradford did.

That, and that two of our planned NTs suck. Kemo is not getting any better anytime soon no matter how emotional he is nor is AH going to play well when he's being told to rein in his instincts.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

Anyone else looking forward to seeing a bit more of Torain in the game this week? He seemed to be running with a nice pace on Sunday, looked good. I wasn't all that impressed during the preseason, but I liked what I saw against the Rams.

This team does have a tendency to play to the quality of their opponent from week to week. Bit us in the ass against the Rams, but it could work in their favor this week. Also the slight possibility that success starts to get in Vick's head. If he's not really one of the best 5 qb's in the league (as he's looked in 2 1/2 games) then the correction should come soon. Let's hope it's against the Skins.

Pay closer attention. Relative to the coordinator making the right calls and utilizing the players talents correctly, emotions play a small role.
Besides
Now Kemo getting fired up is going to save him from his roller skates?
Golston get super-human strength?
Hall doesn't slip?
Reed Doughty will suddenly become an elite safety?
Rogers will catch the ball?
All because they're more emotional? PUH-LEASE

Its not just emotion. You also have to maintain discipline especially on defense otherwise you will frequently be caught outta position.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

Needless to say I hope Donovan has a great day and most of all the Redskins win the game. McNabb needs a good performance in this game to boost his own self esteem.

In the first two home games I was checking him out on the sidelines through my SwaroVison, you could sense from his body language he's not accustomed to the kind of defense he was witnessing. Teams found it more difficult to come back on Jim Johnson's defense than what he was seeing from this defense. He had that look of "I've put up 27 points and it's evaporated" what more do I have to do. He could definately use a morale booster.

Yes, I agree. It is not just emotion. However, often emotion and discipline go together. Players who are "up" for the game are more attentive and typically do fewer undisciplined things.

And, yes, scheme does play a role.

But we have all seen teams who were terrible one week and then awesome the next, and vice versa. On these occasions we were talking about the same players (disciplined or not) and often the same schemes. The difference is emotion.

I damn near jumped sunday night BUT like you said Lotus, every week in the NFL is different. Rams caught a team that wanted to show up and have it easy.. This isnt COLLEGE FOOTBALL, you cant do that in the NFL

No, it's focus and practice. You can be all emotional as you want, but if you don't know what the hell you are doing, you are a liability on the field.

Why in the world would this team show up and not play hard? What have we done to prove we are better than the Rams and should be given a W without even showing up? Until this team figures that out, we are not going very far.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

LL is due one hugh hit and I would like to see him just level Vick one good time. I mean how many times can you go for the big hit and miss. He is due.

Not spastic emotion but concentrated emotion. If you are emotionally into things, you tend to be more focused. When you are not emotionally invested, focus wavers.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

I think we keep this close till halftime,after that Phiilys talent and better coaching blow us out in the 2nd half
Philly 35
skins 17

IDK For some reason I have a feeling we will actually play solid D this week like we did VS Dal.. Call me crazy but I smell a upset

24-20 Skins

McNabb 3 TD Passes

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

I say 31-17 Skins McNabb goes for 285 and 3TDs as a team we run for over 100 yards and Devin Thomas takes the opening KO 97 yards to the house

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

That article gave me "hope", a dangerous and powerful emotion that clouds the voice of reason.

Re: It's Donovan's F-ing Homecoming Week
 

We can win this. How? That is the coaches responsibility to find a way to pressure on Vick. Vick will get some yards there is no stopping that. Lets just hope that we can keep it close and he makes some bad throws and we pick him off a couple of times. We win this and our head go back up. Then we could win 2 or 3 of the next 4 games. We should be 3 and 0 just as easy as we could be 0 and 3.
