The week 1 "what the hell?" thread

[MTK]

What the hell...

Santana Moss? Too many drops, the game might not have been as close if he comes down with those catches. C'mon Santana, you've gotta make those catches.

Chris Cooley? Other than the big catch at the end on 3rd down he was non-existent. I'm not positive on this but it seemed that the first pick by Campbell might have been due to Cooley not running a crisp route.

Fred Smoot? You've gotta make that INT when it hits you in the hands like that. That would have ended the game right there.

Randle El? 162 yards? Where was this guy last year? If he can keep playing this well and when Moss gets on track this passing game could be very dangerous.

[love them hogs]

How about ,the Dolphins are going to go for the touchdown on fourth and goal on the two??? What the hell.

Or,The Redskins are going to kick the field goal on first down.....From fortey yards out???What the hell.

I know that both of those decisions worked out but I was saying what the hell when they happened.

Shawn Springs? How are you not starting, could you not find your helmet a la Thurman Thomas?

Brandon Lloyd? C'mon, make just one play. One play is all I ask

You? Yeah that's right I'm talking about you. You insisted we were going to lose today. And you're a Skins fan. Where are you now? You know who you are

Seemed like the only time Springs played was as Nickle back and when Smoot would get dinged. Weirdo for sure.

I think the safeties weren't much of a factor because they were going with short passes and runs up the middle a lot. When our safeties played deep they didn't throw deep.

I haven't been able to confirm this, but rumor I'm hearing is it was disciplinary. Springs missed a meeting or something like that. But I'm not sure

Oh geez. I am cool with like a quarter for that kind of thing but the whole game? If he were a constant trouble maker then maybe. I can't decide whether I hope this is the real explanation or not.

Well the only other possible one is that he was a bit dinged up.

Well I've only heard it from one person. And it's not someone I 100% believe or can count on without confirming with someone else

Great, issues with the secondary again...

[RobH4413]

Yeah, this was definitely a very bizarre game. We need to step it up on offense if we want to compete with Philli.

I also thought it was pretty hilarious when Ladell Betts trucked Chris Samuels. What the hell was that?

[MTK]

I don't think Lloyd timed his jump well and honestly it looked like a half-hearted effort.

Someone mentioned this in another thread,

But ST and Landry, where the hell where you guys? It seemed like you all were nowhere near the players. I guess this becomes more of a what the hell for GW.

Probably because they were playing in coverage and in the running game the d-line and LBs were cleaning up quickly before they could even get to the ball. It's a good thing when the safeties aren't making a ton of tackles.

I think this was a function our LBs being 100% better than last year. I think ST led the team in tackles in like 13 games last year. The other three were like 1 LB and 2 other Safties. This game our LBs were making the tackles. That is good.
