skins v chargers
 

well i think this one could get ugly, i doubt anyone will be on the bench for the chargers they are red hot right now and wanna keep that going into the playoffs, maybe i'm wrong but i see norv sticking it right in snyders face and blowing us out this weekend, i really just don't see how this redskins team can hang with this chargers team at all

chargers 35
skins 17

and i expect zorn to be fired at his post game presser

Re: skins v chargers
 

42-0 Chargers & the end of the Jim Zorn

Re: skins v chargers
 

fired during his presser? as entertaining as that would be, i dont see it happening. i think Zorn will be fired sometime after the team returns home following the game.

I fully expect the chargers to bench most of their starters while Zorn will try to go out on a high note and pull out every "trick" he has in his book. i think the skins will actually win this meaningless game and put us in a position to draft 8th instead of 5th.

skins 24
chargers 13

Re: skins v chargers
 

The Chargers don't have anything to play for right? Skins could win this one. As for Zorn he will last until Mon. morning.

i was joking but i wouldn't put it past danny

and i doubt the chargers will bench anyone i expect to see their starters in there until the 4th if they even come out then, rivers is a gamer and he is on fire right now, and norv has never been one to rest guys, he is big on staying in rythm

Re: skins v chargers
 

Turner said Monday that the Chargers will prepare as they always do, with no plans to rest healthy starters. He did say that some who've been playing with injuries might get a rest.

LaDainian Tomlinson, for one, enjoyed laying around all weekend, watching games on TV "and just having nothing to do."

This Sunday, though, he wants to play.

"Yeah, I do," he said. "With us having the bye I think it would be good for us to get out and play. We will have a whole week to rest next week. Just to keep the rhythm of how we are playing, I think that is important. I think the only way guys shouldn't play is if they are injured or battling something that needs rest. If you are healthy, why sit out?"

Re: skins v chargers
 

SD goes up big early then sits their starters, the Skins starters mount a comeback against SD's scrubs but come up short.

SD 27
Skins 20

Re: skins v chargers
 

well if the chargers play their starters, we may get our #5 overall pick after all.

Re: skins v chargers
 

Domination...if the pitiful G men put us away in the fashion they did, I really don't want to see what an elite team can put up against us
38-10 Chargers

Re: skins v chargers
 

we even have a shot at the 4th but would need kc tampa an dsomeone else to win i think

Re: skins v chargers
 

This will be the first time I can remember where our local area (Tidewater, Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk) network has preempted the Redskins game so that we can see Philly vs. Dallas.

Can't really say that I'm disappointed.

Re: skins v chargers
 

Despite what they may say now, I would bet they will sit their starters at the half.

Re: skins v chargers
 

As far as who the Chargers decide to rest -- the odds would be pretty much even since our "starters" are the equivalent of every other teams' backups.

Re: skins v chargers
 

Skins 21
Chargers 20

Zorn fired after the flight home

Re: skins v chargers
 

So I guess we are making the trip?

SD 24
WSH 14

Last game for Campbell & Zorn in WSH.

Are you saying they are not going to show the game or might switch at some point over to that game? They switched over once back in the early 90's and had so many mad phone calls switched back to the skins. Even last year they thought about not showing the game to sho the Dallas/Philly game but too many people complained.

Re: skins v chargers
 

Just lose, Baby!

We need the higher draft pick.

In our area, the Redskins game will not be shown. Unless you have DirecTV of course.

Re: skins v chargers
 

I'm hoping to see my old teammate Charlie Whitehurst get a few snaps at QB. I personally thought though that this game was an automatic win for the Redskins but it seems like thats not the plan for San Diego.

It kind of feels bad, I mean if Vinny was still around I would have welcomed this development as evidence of how far this franchise has fallen but for now the need to make examples of people is over. It's time to start fresh and realize that things are about to get a whole lot better, after this game of course. My biggest concern though is that they win.

Re: skins v chargers
 

DT and LL won't even be making the trip. Smoot (and maybe Holmes) to be likely to play opposite Kareem Moore. Rocky and AH are still questionable. Edwin Williams will start at RG.

Re: skins v chargers
 

What in the past two games makes any of you think that the Skins are capable of scoring more that 6 points. Skins 21 points?.......Skins 20 points?....Skins 13 points?....... "child please"

Skins: 6
Chargers: more than 6

Next season can't get here soon enough!
Happy New Year!!!!

Re: skins v chargers
 

Why can't I ever make myself accept hard-core reality? There's nothing that makes me think we have a chance in SD, but (for whatever reasons') I cannot with a clear conscience pick pick against the Redskins.

Redskins 27
Chargers 24

Re: skins v chargers
 

San Diego 26
Skins 17

Re: skins v chargers
 

Chargers - 31
Skins - Who the hell knows anymore, we can't even be counted on to put points up on the board every week.

Re: skins v chargers
 

Skins 73- Bolts 0 !!!!!!! Im looking forward to the draft , but I would like to had ol Norv a loss to end the season .

Re: skins v chargers
 

Chargers need to keep momentum going into the game. A two week layoff for their starters isn't good going into their playoff game. They will build a lead and then rest them, but those guys need to stay in a rhytm like LT said. Don't want to be flat come playoff time. It would be nice to see Norv giving Danny the finger. Norv's firing is what caused all this shit, meaning it set the nasty precendent for the next decade after his canning. Would love to see SD win the whole enchilada also, so Norv can really tell Danny boy where to stick it.

Why the animosity towards Norv? The poor guy is the one who originally got the shaft from the Danny and he still had a winning record when Danny boy axed him. Like him or hate him, the way Danny fired Norv paved the way for a decade of shitty Skin football.

Hey what's up Gus ? No dislike for Norv , would just like to see a win , Norv was a Cowboy before a Skin , nothing personal .

Why the love for him Gus? He was here for 7 years and took us to the playoffs ONCE. He was 49-59-1 in his career here and was 7-6 after starting off the year 6-2 when he got fired. Nothing special unless you're satisfied with mediocre football.

Re: skins v chargers
 

7 LONG years. It seemed like Norv was here forever.

Re: skins v chargers
 

Norv was here for seven years and produced only one playoff appearence with a combined won lost record of 50-60. Norv has been gone for eight years, we've had four coaches over that period that have (if we lose tomorrow) produced two playoff appearences and a combined 62-82 record. All things considered, these combined records once again demonstrate change just for the sake of change and "mediocre" at it's finest.

Re: skins v chargers
 

We really need to loose this game to make sure we secure a good draft position. With that said, since it's his last game, I nominate Zorn to call plays for the San Diego game.

That's cold Dirtbag. :) It really is a catch-22 isn't it? On the one hand I always want us to win, on the other, I want the best pick we can get. :confused:

The way the last two games have gone you would have to think that Zorn had been calling the plays.

Re: skins v chargers
 

NFL .com reports that Volek will replace Rivers at some point in the game. Turner says he'll pull Rivers so Volek can get some playing time.

The good part about that is: We are a better team IMO than most teams that would be picking at 5-6 position. We could very easily have been an 8-8 or 9-7 team, being able to pick as high as we will pick with the team we already have is more than we could ask for short of double digit wins.

I'm like you though, I always want to win.

Re: skins v chargers
 

so i have been out of the loop for a bit the past few days my comp crashed and i have been busy wtf happened to dirty landry??? did he get a concussion at practice on wednesday?

Re: skins v chargers
 

Actually I don't know why this game scares me.....

I think I'm afraid that we will win this game. The Chargers have nothing to lose, they are sitting many of their key starters. I can see us winning this game and falling down the draft board. If I was Allen I would definitly hinder Zorn's ability by instructing him to use all the Rookies we have. This way they can say they have more game film on some of the Rookies plus to give them game experience. Do we even have a back up QB besides Collins who could play?

I hope the Chargers tear us a good one, and I hope Tampa wins and KC wins. We might be able to move up a spot or two if they do.

Re: skins v chargers
 

I dont see us coming out to the west coast and getting a win. We have just to many backups playing and our O-line is just awful. I see us losing this one 21-10. As soon as the Chargers score the 1st 7 points we are done. Defense will fold and the offense will give up a few turnovers. Cant wait til Monday when I wake up to ESPN braking news JIM ZORN fired by the Redskins........ Let the New Era begin. HTTR.
