Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

We got the "W" against a very good team. Share the positives from this game, here are mine...

- Laron Landry was a beast and should have silenced his critics
- Armstrong is developing into a solid #2 WR
- Cooley was HUGE and clutch today
- Orakpo drew many holds and had two big sacks
- Banks is a threat and kept the GB special teams on their toes
- Hunter the F*cking Punter!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

1. Haslett...the scheme is coming together. Excellent game plan. Holding Packers to 13 is an incredible feat.
2. McNabb. I hate to bring his name up..JC..could have never lifted a team on his shoulders and carried them. McNabb did today no doubt. The oline had a hard time today, McNabb won this game.
3. Armstrong slowly being that 2nd option. All the Moss haters can suck it, Moss was awesome today
4.Laron is the man in this scheme, all the Laron haters can suck it
5. Carlos and D Hall once again............Greg Jennings and D. Driver were basically silenced today. I want to see Carlos with a new contract. All the D Hall and Carlos haters can suck it

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Pretty much agree with everything said above.

Also:

Even though McNabb looked gimpy like the announcers said, he still made plays.
Receivers steppin up! I was gonna say Moss and Armstrong but Galloway made plays when it counted to, and Cooley did his thing like he always does. I'm gonna start calling Cooley Captain Consistency because 9 out of 10 times he makes plays.

Defense gettin off the field on 3rd downs! That was huge for us, and a sub-bullet for this would be drive-killing sacks at timely moments.

Hunter the Punter doin his thing: Aka nice punts, and solid holds on field goals. Like he didn't miss a beat.

Banks did his thing too, even though our punt return team really needs to stop blocking in the back.

Orakpo and Landry deserve their names mentioned too. Easily our top two players on defense this season.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

suck what exactly?

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Also before I forget, the one thing that can't be measured by stats: Resiliency. Down by 10, outplayed in the first half, this team easily could've just stopped trying and let the Packers widen the margin in the second half, and instead they kept battling, got the points on the board, and came back and managed to win it in overtime. As has been said we easily would've lost this game last year but you can tell this is a new regime and there's no quit in this team.

positives...we won. a great team effort!

negatives...heyer is still on this team!

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

1 Holding the packers to 13 points.
2 neutralizing their passing game
3 anthony armstrong
4 rak
5 winning another game that we most certainly wouldnt have last year

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

I got to watch one of our best games in recent memory.

The defense. Rak. Actually all the LBs played very well. Zo.

Andre Carter did he move back to and End? It seemed as though he was playing Dline most of the Day.

Haslett. Just held one of the best Qbs in football to an average day and a loss.

Like Mooby said, the team in general by not giving up.

Mcnabb. damn what a gutsy performance by him, beat up all first half, then lead the team in a huge fourth quarter and into Overtime.

This was big as far as our confidence goes. So by my count we have beaten 2 of the so called NFC superbowl contenders in 5 weeks.

How did we lose to the Rams?

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Soo, we injured two QBs in two weeks...

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

There are many and they are being nicely detailed.
On a global level, this team is finding a way to win. If this was last year, we're likely 0-5. McNabb has his demons but the protection sucked due to injuries and he still made plays. McNabb stretched plays. DM played hurt. He did what he had to to win.
The Defense, though porous made it happen when they had to. HUGE takeaways and stops when we had to have them.
Even though is has not been pretty, we have now beat two "Super Bowl" darlings and the third is coming in this week.
Teams with [B][B]HEART[/B][/B] find a way to...get it done

He moved back to DE last week when Alexander took over at OLB

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

The two losses we have we came back but couldn't seal the deal finally we were able to seal it, good f ing game we are playing competitive football that's what I wanted most.

Amen...Brother!

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

1. Rak is really thriving in this defense
2. Good to see another WR actually catch a ball besides Moss
3. Landry is all over the place
4. Gano for the winning kick

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Rak, Landry and Armstrong for that nasty grab.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Gano
Armstrong
Sellers
Orakpo
McIntosh
Hunter Smith
Moss
Cooley
Banks

Negatives:

Too many penalties on special teams and still can't stop the run up the middle.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Landry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!

McNabb seems to be enjoying being a Skin. I like that!

Hunter is as good as we all knew he would be.

Gotta applaud the D today. I really expected Rogers to slice us to shreds.

Negative: Still bringing games into late 4th and OT but.... WE WON!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Armstrong...we all hoped that someone would rise to the occasion to fortify our receiver corps, and he stepped up.

Jeremy Jarmon, a spot duty beast.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Armstrong seems to be settling in and McNabb is looking his way more. He had some big plays out there today, great to see.

He's becoming what DT should have been, you can call it even it out.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Phillip Daniels seemed to have a few big plays for us today. Just a name that no one mentioned. I thought our run defense was pretty effective outside of the one crappy missed gap (I'm looking at you Rocky) early on.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Oh and forgetting scheme and execution for a moment, one thing our defense does do week in and week out is play physical. We are definitely a physical team right now. I think that has been a huge thing keeping us in games when we're getting outplayed in other ways.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

How about Banks? You just know he's going to break one for a score sooner or later.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

[quote=Mattyk;746092]How about Banks? You just know he's going to break one for a score sooner or later.[/quote]

Very true. If we stop getting penalties on every damn kick/punt return he'll break more than one. The penalties on teams seem to happen each week. Way too much. But back the positive he looked good back there again. Played smart too.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

[quote=Mattyk;746092]How about Banks? You just know he's going to break one for a score sooner or later.[/quote]

I thought the same thing. I didn't cringe this game waiting for a fumble... this time I was just waiting for him to break one.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Can't believe nobody has mentioned One Man Gang aka Lorenzo Alexander! dude was all over the place, in the backfield & on the goal line stop in pass coverage.

other than him:
-30
-Orakpo
-Dmac was spotty and missed on a couple easy ones but he got it done when it counted
-D Hall and Carlos shut it down
-Moss, AA and Cooley
-Banks, Hunter The one and only Punter, Gano and Sellers were studs on Special Teams

You are absolutely right, my favorite skin had a great game.

i was somewhat of a sceptic about him but this game definately has made me a believer

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Too many positives to say we are a substandard team. Armstrong and Orakpo are the really big positives for me. AA shut me up as my first post of the game thread was bitching about not having anyone compliment Santana at WR, and then he does his thing later on in the game. We still need to consider drafting one or two Wrs in the next few drafts though. We need another WR to get a killer starting 3 and another for depth and to eventually replace Santana. Orakpo is just a beast. What AH can't bring Brian can. I say we trade AH in the offseason for mid round picks and get a G and a WR with those picks.

You didn't get the part about positives did you???

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Everybody has talked about the goal line stance by the D, I think that just as important was Torain getting out of the endzone when McNabb threw the short pass. He was hit in the endzone and muscled his way out to prevent a safety.

Minor gripe but it's stand, not stance.
