[quote=Redskins247;1153586]There is no way Norman plays in this game..right? That was a pretty good hit he had...and no one plays now the very next week after a concussion anymore...right?[/quote]

To be honest
I think the whole concussion protocol thing is bunk and just another excuse for the league to affect game outcomes or more to the point make them more competitive. I was at the
Lions game and sat in the endzone closest to where
Josh went down. He was down for a long time for just a standard concussion. He didn't really move at all. I am glad he might be playing, but if the protocol was real, he should have been ruled out.

Good luck man, my hype levels would be through the roof if a team I liked from across the pond came over to play. Hope the Skins pull off the W for you.

Been a fan since 82 Joe, Riggo, Art and the Hogs never wavered once they've always been my guys.

As a Celtic fan we have a Glasgow saying 'in sunshine and in shadow' meaning we'll be there whatever that applies to the Redskins as well [emoji18]

RB Mack Brown has been moved from the practice squad to the active roster.

I think if we needed Matt Jones to play, he could. With this timing its too much of a coincidence...its all about messaging.

Im gonna state the obvious, if FAT Rob has a big day, considered Matt Jones as the second fiddle. Id like to see Mack Brown getting some touches as well.

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

It's been said before but I am going to say it again any way.

Kelley runs with violence. Watching him run, his feet are always moving, he may not be a shifty runner, but he finds the hole and hits it hard. I really like what I have seen. I predict a big day for him.

[I have now cursed him to multiple tackles for loss, a couple of fumbles, and possibly a career ending injury].

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

this probably sealed the deal for me on matt jones;

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

Apparently Bengals LT Whitworth will be playing Sunday which means somehow, 8 weeks into the season, the Bengals will have 0 injuries. Amazing how many full strength teams we are playing, the Eagles also had 0 injuries.

Re Wembley field conditions -- apparently it has not been a problem "Of course, he was careful to add that the grass hasn’t been a problem at Wembley, though the faster surface and some wet conditions there have led to messier uniforms than normal." The field that the Giants-Rams played on seems to be better than Wembley fwiw.

Weather on Sunday in London - 61 degrees and partly cloudy .. thank goodness.

Sounds just like Michael Westbrook and others. Im including the part of the article where he answers his question. Kids/money as motivation (Like J Reed) is a weak answer imo. I want guys that eat, breathe and sleep football. Not guys who look at this like its a 9-5.

“I kind of snapped. I was like, ‘I’ve got kids, man! I love my little girls!’ . . . I was so locked in on my family and my girls, and from that point on, I was like, ‘I’m playing football for those girls. That’s what my motivation is. That’s what I’m playing for.'”

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

Kids are weak motivation?

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

[quote=MTK;1153631]Kids are weak motivation?[/quote]

yeah, i don't knock him for wanting to provide for his family.

but to hear him say he didn't know what he was playing for, that he was only playing football because he was good at it - that was weak.

i thought scot only wanted guys who loved the game?

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

I watched how hard Matt Jones ran in the Lions game. I'll take what he does over what he says anytime. The only problem I have with Matt's play is his fumbling. That must be fixed.

That said, I'm eager to see what Rob Kelly does on Sunday.

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

Matt Jones out, Josh Norman now questionable.

You're not going to have 53 guys that live, eat, sleep and breathe football. Jones isn't Westbrook at all. But I get what you're saying, he comes across as a guy that plays cause he's good at it. But none of us were questioning him after the Eagles game. Fast forward a week later and a lot of you want to run him out of town. It's a week to week league....lol.

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

I think Davis has earned the right to be on the field more. More 2 TE sets if Reed is ready to go.

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

If Reed is good to go (which it looks like he will be), they will be using 2 and 3 TE sets a lot. They already were before Reed went down.

We have three guys at TE who are all good to very good pass catchers.

Some guys just play to make a good living, there is a ton of players that don't even watch football at all. Will blackmon is one of them. It's all good

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

[QUOTE=SolidSnake84;1153497]This is a good post. Hard to really pick.



Forget which guy on here pointed out that our four wins were really from nothing more than luck, and certain calls going our way, and agreed with Jay Gruden stating that we would never win pretty. Our luck could have ran out and we could again shit the bed. Cincy could play poorly but we could beat ourselves with penalties and other dumbness.



OR - we could come out and totally fire on all cylinders and win a close game against them.



I'm thinking its going to be a little of both. Two ugly picks by Cousins but neither are backbreakers. Robert Kelly runs hard and the skins prevail - 27-24[/QUOTE]


Whoever said our four wins is from luck should really consider that we completely dominated the Philadelphia Eagles and the score in no way is a reflection of how that game went.
I certainly would not say luck helped us beat the Browns either.
As for the Giants - there were lucky breaks on both sides.
Baltimore? Defense might have had something to do with the win there, ..... maybe?

So close....

However the day was amazing I'm 53 and never imagined I'd ever see the guys live right in front of me.

All 32 teams jerseys were represented and from what I could see in and around Wembley skins fans outnumbered Bengals.

For me seeing the game this close up was mindbending the time absolutely flew by, I am so envious of you guys that get to see them every other week.

All in all a wonderful day out as they say in Scotland "haste ye back" and HTTR of course [emoji41] [emoji458] [emoji41]
