OH shit!

Fuck him then! Sorry wilsow.

[quote=mredskins;370124]WOW! Can you say left field?

no need to turn on skins fans dude.[/quote]

he was responding to the asshole pats fan who just had to remind us that our team sucks because we're totally unaware of it, as well as talk about how much he had to hear all week about how our secondary was so great. Don't act like everyone was picking the Pats to lose douchebag. They might've been giving us credit for having a good secondary but the fact of the matter is everyone knows New England is a better team than us and that's why we weren't gonna win.

This loss was pretty huge. It can either be

A. The game that opens our eyes and the coaches realize we need to make some changes and we go on to have a somewhat successful season and make the playoffs. Or it can be

B. The loss that destroys our season that we never recover from.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

I'm not going to defend this team one bit, but I'll stick by them. But that was a garbage performance and they know it as much as I do...and seirously, can we stop bitching about how "Unclassy" Belicheck is...he did exactly what we all bitch and moan at Joe Gibbs for NOT doing each week...who gives a crap. I agree 10000000000% with Brian Mitchell "If you dont want them to score, dont let them socre" period, end of story. Its not like we are a little league team, were all proffessionals too, I love what Bellicheck does at the end of games and have no problem in the slightest with it.

This is very indicative to the 2005 loss to the Giants (although the Pats are a much better team, and the score showed that); and next week against the Jets will determine whether the rest of the season will be worth watching or not. They'll either come back and make the changes, or just fold up and die.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

WE need to use this ass whipping as a cog to clear the air and get down to business. Gibbs needs to get his A game on an quit coaching like a rookie HC. Why do we open it up when the game is out of reach? Have to play for the victory from the first snap til the last. We can't seem to perfrom for a complete game. Granted the execution has sucked, but the gameplan should be innovative and agressive also. How well we play the Jets will tell us a lot about this team. If we sqeak by with a Cards type win or even lose next weekend we are in big trouble.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

They need to erase this loss from their memory and move on with the rest of the season.

I have said it before and will say it again. Portis is done! His lifespan as a RB in the NFL was very short. The Skins need to start looking at their options with him.

First, I disagree with your statement that Portis is done. I saw people ripping Portis for getting hit in the backfield. I'm not sure what you think, but if a RB is getting hit in the backfield, that usually means that there are problems with the O-line and not with the RB.

What options are there? Put Betts in? Betts is NOT performing any better than Portis. In fact, Portis looks better than Betts. Moreover, people that complain about how injury-prone Portis is should look at Betts' history of injuries.

But, I guess the grass is always greener.....

I disagree. It's completely unclassy. Some of the greatest head coaches of all-time have blown out opponents, but they don't run up the score unneccesarily. There is such a thing as sportsmanship.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

He shook his hand--not an issue. So Belicheck wants records. Whatever. No one can deny they're the best in the league right now and one of the best ever. Good game in Indy next week, though.

Lots of things went wrong today. The key, no doubt was FOUR turnovers by JC. We lose to almost anyone if that happens. The D took away to long ball (but for one pass) and the Pats just adapted, as we expected. Without ball control, you can't beat those guys, IMO. And we couldn't do that at all today.

Hard loss, but that's why it mattered so very much that we beat Arizona. Now we need to bounce back an beat the Jets on the road. That's the only response to this game that matter. The rest is window dressing.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

There was no need to go for it twice like that. Bellichek is a great coach but he's not much of a person. I'll be pulling hard for the Colts next week.

As for Brian Mitchell, I find his sactimonious act a little tiresome. He was a fine kick returner but the reason the Redskins sucked balls through the 90s was that we had guys like him instead of real leaders.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

Up 38-0, the only reason to go for a 4th down in the red zone is to say (to quote the Sports Guy) "Efff You Too!" I admire the Patriots for playing hard all game, but running up the score is bush league. And lining up in the shotgun of a 45-0 game is running up the score.

If I was Gregg Williams, I would have blitzed the crap out of them in the 2nd half, playing coverage only works if you've got the corners to cover. There was a plan, but shouldn't there have been a Plan B? Of course, that means that GW would have to be taken off the medication he's been on. If we're going down, then lets go down with our best stuff.

Agreed, especially about B-Mich. Still pissed we didn't re-sign him late in his career. Whatever. A non-issue, and not surprising that B-mitch shows his true colors, once again. Gibbs didn't whine, make excuses, or fail to shake hands. He said this loss happened to all of them, they played badly in all three phases, and he takes the blame for it. What else is there to say? Now beat the Jets and wash this bad taste out of our mouths! (It's gonna be a long week!)

I realize I am being bush league and immature, but I would not have been very upset if Grilliams had told his players to keep going after the whistle and hit Brady in the mouth after the play was over.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

I need to own up.
I am a lifetime Gibbs fan but I made the statement unless there was a dramatic move in offensive philosophy this game to deal with the OLine issues....such as change the starters or go heavy shotgun/hurry up, I would lose faith in him...
Well....not only did Gibbs not adjust the offense, GW didn't either.

Guys....it is not just player performance.
The coaches did not put the players in a position to compete with better talent.
This was obvious to all of us...and we don't get 5 million a year.

I have officially off the "give Gibbs the benefit of the doubt" bandwagon.

Re: Redskins vs. Patriots game thread
 

I think Brady is a peice of shit along with Bellichek. I really thought Brady standing on the sideline bitching to the refs was out of line. I thought the whole sideline of the Pats were disrespectful. Yes, we got our asses handed to us, but this by far was one of the worst games I have ever seen. Do you think Dungy would coach like this, or even Manning? I mean c'mon.
