[quote=Dirtbag59;939138]Every laptop I've bought since 2008 as well as everyone that my friends and family have bought since that time has an HDMI slot. The problem is that a lot of TV's have the potential to slow down the frame rate and make the video choppy.

For example on my new TV that has a 2gb Nvidia GeForce graphics card my frame rate is capped at 30fps when I play games and videos seem slower as well.[/quote]

All I know is that if you are a desperate/addict fan like myself, I would even watch on my iphone like I did last year.

David Jones! Thats who I was thinking of! We should resign him now that Bernstein is done for the year.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Great game by the entire team. For the first time in a long time the Skins looked and played like an NFL team.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;939133]This is what I've been saying is:

QB position is better than Grossman or Beck
OL is healthy and we've got depth after last years injuries and suspension
RB are young, fast and pretty good
WR is like night and day, new additions, Garcon, Morgan, Robinson, (still haven't seen Hankerson). Better than last year and many previous years.
TE same

DL Jarvis Jenkins is back, Cofield and Bowen have a year in the system
LB young, aggressive and very solid
DB/S also improved over last year although still a weakspot and thin on the backup spots due to injury.
ST same as last year, maybe better despite the blocked punt.

I've been saying this team is under rated, they lost many close games last year with Grossman and Beck, injuries and suspensions.

They'll be in the playoffs.[/quote]

The Saints blitz more than any other team and RG3 was 8-9 against the blitz. That's how a good QB can help the O-line. Bad QBs who can't punish the blitz, like the ones we've had for years, invite more blitzing and make the O- line look worse than they actually are.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

We went into New Orleans and made the Saints our bitches. Take away a missed blocking assignment on a punt and the game wasn't even close.

Someone pinch me.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Didn't get to watch the game but from the highlights Shannahan has everything running in the right direction,congratulations,great game.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Not sure I heard this right, but the only RBs to have 90+ yards rushing and 2 TDs in their rookie debut over the past 30 years: Marshall Faulk, LaDanian Tomlinson, Alfred Morris

There were two others from the early 80's, but I can't remember their names right now.

I saw that two , I believe Billy Simms was on of them . We sure look like a team that is being built to be highly competetive .

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Along with RG3, Kyle gets my game ball. I just impressed with the game plan and the play calling. I really like the way we kept running with the ball and RG3 only had to throw the ball 25 times which means balance.

If any of our rb's can run like Mr. Sims , watch out NFL . I remember seing his first NFL game [url=http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198009070ram.htm]Detroit Lions at Los Angeles Rams - September 7th, 1980 - Pro-Football-Reference.com[/url] . Too bad he got hurt . 30 years ...... man does time fly :) !!!

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

I thought J Wilson had a great game . Considering we " lost " Jackson/ Merriweather" at the last hour , our db's played great ...... Brees under 50% ..... WOW !!!!

Let's not forget Raheem Morris, his coaching is being felt and will make a difference this year.

So it took about 30 seconds for me to remember what happened when i woke up. I sort of just stood there in my kitchen staring at my coffee maker with a smile on my face. Ahhhhh. Have a great week everybody. Hope garcon is really good to go. Shame about bernstein of all the parts of the team to suffer injuries on - safety - really? Merriweather will be back tho. Also is Sundberg going to be able to play? Is that why there was the second nearly botched punt when the snap got away from rocca?

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Mane the talking heads are gonna be on our dicks today. Swatting these bitches off after picking us to lose 10 games this season.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Voted in the poll for Morris. Almost went with Gomes who seemed to play a heck of a game. Really, never heard Wilson's name called and I guess that's a good thing.

So jazzed right now, I just can't think straight.

So glad we kept Robinson. He is going to end up beating out Morgan/Hankerson for the 2nd spot. Morgan may end up a one and done with us. As for Moss, love the guy, but everyone should be treating this as his farewell tour.

RGIII!!! RGIII!!!

(When do we play Dallas??)

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

I give it to Kyle. Loved the formations, the play calling and play design. It looks like they're building this offense around RG3.

That whole 1st drive looked like the Baylor offense. Pistol formations, Spread options, smoke passes to the WRs. Pure Baylor in a Redskins uniform.

Wait what? You put the Stadium the Skins played in during the 1930's pre RFK first and then our new QB in second? :laughing-

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Voted Morris. His consistency in the second half was a key. Several other guys had key contribs too but Morris probably was most important to the win. Really good fit for our run-game.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

[quote=Mattyk;938909]My initial thought, did that really just happen?

Picked a bad week to start betting again. LOL Just so you will know my charity at the end of the month is Edmark so you will know each week you lose they win.

As far as the win I'm not surprised at all we beat the Saints. I said all along that we had not seen anything through preseason of what RGII was going to do on the field. I liked how they started him off with the safe plays then worked things down field. Only gripe I would have beside the blocked punt was the play call got a little to conservative toward the end of the game.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

I voted for Morris, being a rookie and performing the way he did. I do think if Garcon had the opportunity to play the whole game it would have been him.
I was very worried about Griffin, he proved to be an asset yesterday.

Billy Sims was the other running back Chick H. mentioned.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

I very surprised at how well A. Robinson played, also did not see much of Hankerson, thought that was odd. I didn't think he was inactive, was he?

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

All the choices played well and are deserving. I voted for Gomes. He had a solid game even though we were worried about that position before the game. He helped out on the Saints fumble that went out of the endzone and his Int. sealed the deal when I was on the edge of my seat and my throat was in my mouth.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

I went with Robinson. Don't get me wrong, LOVED Morris (had him starting in both my fantasy leagues over many objections of my son), think the whole secondary did a helluva job, really the whole team could get one. BUT when Garcon went out, and we needed another receiver to step up, FD dropped a couple catchable balls, Moss made one nice play but was pretty quiet, Hankerson??, nope, A Robinson took the game in his hands, and didn't get overwhelmed.

Nice to see the one man goes down the next step up actually working.

I think this might be a fun season ;)

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

Oh can we give an honorable mention to Logan Paulson, the one catch at the end of the game to help kill more time certainly made the defense's job a couple seconds easier!

Gotta add Bowen to that list. He was very disruptive the entire game. Brees either had heat or had to adjust a few throws.

Ok now we are entering the overly optimistic zone. Lol

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

It just something I love about seeing a big white boy like Paulsen drag defenders down field. I was like this is Redskins football right here.

No offense to big white boys:)
