Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

The thing that sucks is we are making it easier for our NFC east rivals. I would much rather be in Dallas or Filthy shoes and play the Colts without Clark, Collie and a banged up Addai. Knocking them out will hurt us in the long run.

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

^^I thought about that earlier! I also hope the Giants and the Girls get to play GB with a healthy Mathews!

I feel the same about the Colts. We made those games easier fpr the Eagles and Giants.

Hell the Eagles get to play the Titans without Vince Y. It will make the game much easier for them.

I wanna believe Haslett's fiery style has something to do w/ our D's penchant for laying the wood. While his scheme is suspect there's no doubt Haslett has found a way to motivate his group!!!

[quote=JoeRedskin;750763]Something about this thread just strikes me as bad ju-ju.[/quote]

Yup. Your post is exactly what I came on here to say. Yes, we're looking like a physical team for sure. And that's great and all, but given how snake-bitten we've been by the injury bug in recent years coupled with our current lack of depth, I find it very bad karma to be applauding all the injuries we've "caused" during the first 6 weeks.

Injuries are the ultimate wildcard in the NFL. The Redskins have been fortunate thus far. Let's hope we keep avoiding major ones. In the meantime I will certainly not applaud the injuries opposing players have suffered during our matchups. Like you said, that's baaaaaad ju-ju.

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

We havent been completely un scathed by the injury bug.

We lost CP, Rocky Mac in the last game, Cooley in the last quarter of the Colts game, Trent and Jamaal were lost at differents points, and Trent missed the Rams game. We have had our share just not season ending ones.

So our luck is about the same as the teams we are playing.

I just have to ask all of you bad juju guys, what do fans of the Pats and Steelers post on their boards? Are their fans so worried about JUJU or just worried about who they are going to beat in the coming weeks? It is not so much about the juju or super stiutions it is about the team and how good they are.

Don't worry so much about juju and focus on how the team is playing.

I agree when we play teams and hurt their best players unless we knocked them out early we will make it easier for our NFC East rivals when they play the teams we knocked out their top players. I do like how we are flying to the ball.

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

Don't forget we gave Witten out with a concussion weak one. He was pissed he couldn't get back in the game. It sets the tone in a game

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

[quote=Paintrain;750700]Even though the defense is giving up a ton of yards, they've been doing some damage to the best players on the other team. So far big time players they've knocked out of games or banged up include:
Houston-Andre Johnson (ankle)
St. Louis-Stephen Jackson (leg)
Philly-Mike Vick (sternum), LeSean McCoy (ribs)
Green Bay-Rodgers (concussion), Finley (knee), Lee (shoulder)
Indy-Addai (shoulder), Clark (wrist)

We've got some serious bangers right now, with all the injuries we've caused are they playing hard and tough or dirty?[/quote]

Well to be fair some of the injuries to some these guys had nothing to do with hard hits. The injuries to Vick and Addai were legit.

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

If it makes people feel better we can change the title to

"Players injured while playing against the Redskins."

I just find it interesting how many players come out of the games lame after having played the Skins.

A lot of it is just dumb luck too. Guys on good teams get injured against crap teams every week in the NFL. If 3 or 4 Ravens leave the game this week against Buffalo, does that mean the Bills are in some way a bad ass defense? Come on.

Personally I'd rather "injure" less opponents and trade it for giving up less than 420 yards of offense per game.

What is a super stiutions??

It's bad karma to cheer injuries IMO. I've always felt that way. We've had so much bad luck in recent years with injuries, I refuse to get happy about knocking out other players.

And I'm very focused on how the team is playing. Sure we're physical and all on defense. We're also getting gashed at a clip that is on pace to make us one of the worst defenses in league history yardage-wise. I don't give a crap if guys happen to get banged up while playing us. I'd prefer to be a little more stout frankly.

Yeah, the Lions are beating us again at the moment. Not exactly flattering.

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

Thanks for the bad karma pain....

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

GMScud-

I was trying to say superstitions. It was late and had a hard time spelling it.

The point I was trying to make was, while some of us think that we can affect a game by things we say, wear, or do on a Sunday before a game. It actually has no bearing at all on the football game. We as fans have no effect ( as much as we would like to think we do at times ) on how our beloved team plays and the out come of a game. I used to think this was the case, and to be honest it is a sympton of being a fan/fanatic. We can write say, do, and wear what ever we like and it will have no effect on how our team performs.

Back in the 80s and early 90s I was a young lad. I just enjoyed watching, talking, and smack talking any teams fans who we played. Most of the time we won, won big, and won championships.

Some time in the early 2000s when we sucked I started to keep my thoughts to myself, think that I had a lucky jersey because we actually won the day I wore and lost the days I didn't. BUT I was somewhat of a fool. What I did had no bearing on how bad the Redskins were run, coached, and how the players on the team couldn't play as a unit. It was just a sympton of being a bad franchise. Most of the time bad franchises lose.

Now we have this thread here and I wanted to kind of clear the air on my own fandom and was reading some comments about how this thread is bad jujuj and bad karma. Well it has no bearing on it all.

We could have a rash of injuries this week, next week, or at any point in the season, and it will not be because of a thread on our message board. We are fans we love the team and we want to win. Go ahead and say, do , and wear whatever you like. we arent going to effect the team.

The only effect we can have on the team is to cheer and play the 12th man role as best we can at home games. :food-smil

[quote=InsaneBoost;750929]We? yt ought the bears did that.[/quote]

The Bears did bang him up, but somehow we are playing so physical right now that our defense will be credited for putting out players that we didn't even play against that day. Didn't you see what we did to D. Jackson, Josh Cribbs, and the other Brown's WR last Sunday? (face palm)

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

Can't remember, but I do think we may have dinged him up a bit near the end of the game.

[quote=Chief X_Phackter;750949]Let us hope that is a trend which continues. It seems, in years past, it has been just the opposite.[/quote]

Why can't we just look forward to playing teams as healthy as possible so when we beat them our players and fans will grow more confident knowing that we are playing good football FOR REAL, instead of hoping to get lucky once again when other team's players get hurt. It's kinda sad. I always liked the Skins beating teams at their best.

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

Can we add Jay Cutler's Confidence to the list of injuries?

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

I'm more worried about the Giants destroying opposing qb's than I am about what we've done to opposing players this season. They've put the hurting on some qb's this season.

Against Panthers: Knocked Matt Moore out, he's obviously returned from that though.

Against Bears: Knocked Jay Cutler and Todd Collins out
Against Lions: Knocked Shaun Hill out, he might be out for a while too
Against Cowboys: Knocked Romo out, prob the worst being out anywhere from 4-10 weeks from what I'm hearing (4-6 from everyone not named Adam Schefter, Schefter is saying 8-10)

We all know McNabb is not the healthiest guy. We better keep him upright against the Giants d otherwise we might not have McNabb if we are still able to remain in the playoff hunt.

Re: Redskins 2010 Body Count
 

Seriously,

Our first game with the Giants might become the new body bag game. Both these defenses hit with good legal HARD hits. I don't want to look ahead, but it will be fascinating to see what game plan the Skins come up with if the NYG play like last night!

And given our team's refusal to throw slants, screens, and dump off passes when clearly faced by an aggressive defense won't help.

Yeah, but we've done our share of damage to the 'Girls and Eagles too. :spank:

We're just weakening EVERY team.

We were kind to the Bears, we let their players stay on the field to suck.

ALL of those O-lines are horrible though. McNabb should be fine.
