We will probably get him in 8 years after he is good.

I agree with SDFan2001 - Within a few games you are going to have to make some decisions so throwing in the young guys at this point might not be a bad idea. With as bad as we looked by next month you already might be out of the playoffs, so giving them a good 7 or 8 games to play could be a good thing in the long run...

At least there would a be a reason for the right side to suck. Breaking in two rookies.

What a crappy f ing day.I went to the game,was hot and sunny when I went in,all hell broke loose during the game with flooding and torrential downpour when I got out.Bad enough we stink it up but then come outside and get soaked to the bone going to the car just made it so much more fun.
My observations from the game:
Special teams still suck balls,wtf?
Our running game was clicking on all cylinders but we kept going away from it
RG3 looked decent,better than preseason for sure but I was so sick of the short passes I could just scream! I dont think he even attempted a pass that wasnt parallel to the line of scrimmage till the 3rd qtr,at least it seemed like it
Finally when they did attempt longer passes over the middle I think he connected on all of them.
Most of RG3's passes last yr,preseason and 1st game are these dink and dunks and I cant stand it anymore.I'm sure some of that has to do with the line not protecting long enough,all I know is Im sick of it.
There was definitely more skins fans at this game than the last time skins played in Houston,Im sure that has something to do with the RG3 Baylor connection.There were skins fans everywhere,at the last game I dont remember seeing more than 10 other skin jerseys

Ha tell me about it
Get to see my team once every 8 years and then they shit the pot

[skinsfan69]

That was some harry high school, pure horse shit performance by the offense and special teams. Was that Jim Zorn calling plays out there? I honestly don't think the coaches have any confidence in Griffin by the way the game was called. Did we sign Jackson to catch 5 yard passes? And a blocked pat and fg? Pathetic. Same old Redskins.

[BaltimoreSkins]

Didn't get to watch the game, but based on the few drives I saw on Gamecast and heard on the radio I was hoping for more offensive substance than what was delivered.

Also, where the fuck was Brian Orakpo at? Not even 1 hit on the QB. Really? No way we give him a long term contract at this rate.

[CrustyRedskin]

You had six months to prepare for Watts.
2 Tkl for loss
1 Sack
1 Fumble Recovery
1 Blocked PAT
1 Pass Knock Down
5 O linemen shit their pants.

If anything Kirkpatrick gets the ball out quicker than you'd think. Doesn't take a lot of sacks.

Brian Orakpo? How about Perry Riley?

On the plus side Hatcher and Keenan Robinson were balling. Kerrigan forced a fumble when we absolutely needed a turnover to stay in the game. Rak is what he is. I've seen enough to know that he isn't nearly the player that he fancies himself to be. Kerrigan has always been the more impactful player when it comes to forcing turnovers. If Trent Murphy develops, the FO would do better to spend FA resources on the O-Line than giving Rak a monster deal.

Rak was a ghost today, but He went up against one of the most underrated players in the game left tackle Duane brown. Brown is a beast

I think that is the reason him and Kerrigan aren't on that next level of pass rushers in the NFL. When they go against the good tackles in the NFL they tend to disappear.
