Official Wild Card Game Thread: Redskins vs. Seahawks

Cool. Knight Rider is coming back

Anyhow, this game is far from over. Wouldn't be surprised to see us go no huddle right off the bat in the 2nd half. Of course, Seahawks get the ball first. We need to stop them on the first drive of the 2nd half, get the momentum in our favor.

Well, that went about as bad as it could have, but were lucky to only be down 10-0.

Our defense is starting to play really well, so I still have some hope if our offense can get some drives going, but they have been atrocious thusfar....but we'll see.

And yet... we're getting man-handled.

agreed 100%

So? No way we would shut them out. We are only down two scores. The offense can't even get it into FG range.

You do remember that after the 2nd half, the redskins score a touchdown on the first drive.

We need to depend on that to get us back into this game.

I'm not absolving the offense of blame, but this could very easily be 0-0 or even just 3-0.

GusFrerotte · 01-05-2008, 06:19 PM

We need to have Collins hit Moss deep to kick start the offense. Our running game can be written off til we get the passing attack going. Man I thought we would be ahead in a tight one, not getiing blanked.

Big C · 01-05-2008, 06:19 PM

we are getting destroyed. i havent seen us play this badly in quite some time. we cannot let the seahawks get a touchdown on this first drive at all costs, and lets step up the protection please.

I also heard on Redskins radio that they're pumping in crowd noise. Really classy.

Well, that would be illegal by NFL rules, so if they are they would have to forfeit.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

We are making them look better than they are, IMO.

LongTimeSkinsFan · 01-05-2008, 06:21 PM

well i know one thing right off the bat, Cooley needs to get his head back in the game. He was looking totally inept in the 1st half. Less drops by the receivers in general would help too. Now Todd's starting to see why Campbell would get frustrated.

lol I don't think the Seahawks would actually admit to pumping it out. But the guys are up there in the box right around the speakers, I think they would be able to tell pretty well whether or not they're pumping in noise.

Besides, no one complains about pumping in noise till the end of the game. But even listening over the radio it seemed WAY loud at some parts before the snap and then quieter on other snaps when the Skins had the ball. I mean the sound was all over the place. Granted I'm not there to tell first-hand.

This isn't the first time pumping in sound is an issue. Apparently the Skins have done it as well (allegedly)

We don't want to go there...the Redskins have done the same thing at Fed-Ex...

NinjaLink · 01-05-2008, 06:23 PM

I think this game is still going to be close in hand. The Seahawks are keeping the Redskins around in this one. The Redskins aren't going to keep on screwing up.

NYCSkin · 01-05-2008, 06:25 PM

We need to run the ball, wait for the Hasselback mistake (it is coming), and ARE owes us his usual playoff punt return for td..we can win 14-13...
