The week 1 "what the hell?" thread

What the hell...

Smoot starts over Springs?????? They threw at him all day long...

Kicking the fg on 1st down in ot...a 40 yarder...glad we made it.

Btw...I thought Lloyd made a pretty good effort to try to catch the endzone pass. It just went over his hands. Not that i'm a big Lloyd supporter but you've GOT to have a qb to throw him the ball. Campbell missed a number of throws. Only week 1 though.

My comment is "what the hell" are you guys complaining about. We physically abused them and won the game. If you are looking for style points you need to follow another team.

If we were playing a team better than Miami we very easily could've lost this game. We play Philly next week, and if we play like that next week expect to lose. If we want to be contenders this season we must improve our play.

Well, it's cause of our mishaps. Too many penalties and dropped balls...we correct those, and I think we played well enough to beat anyone.

You could say the same for the Dolphins...If they would have caught half of their dropped passes.

Hey, no question we were the more physical team, but you've got to put up more than 13 pts. Like i said though, only the 1st game.

0 penalties in the first half and like 6 penalties in the second half, WTH? how does a team just become so undisciplined.

Also this WTH doesn't pertain to the Skins game, but I want to make a point of it nonetheless, because I feel it was horrible officiating. In the Bears-Chargers game, the Chargers had the ball on like the Bears 2 yard line, and one of the Bears jumped the snap really early, like there was no doubt in my mind that he started before the rest of the players started. Then everyone started moving and at the end of it, the Bears player had the ball and was saying it was a fumble by the Chargers and the Bears had recovered. The refs talked it over for a while and the Bears got to keep the ball, even though it was plain and clear that one of the Bears had jumped pre-snap and had gotten a hold of the ball when everyone started moving. I believe that was one of the worst officiating calls I've seen, and even though it didn't cost the Chargers the game, it's still something that shouldn't happen again.

Also I want to say Fred Smoot WTH? How many times have you done the interception drill and this time you let the ball hit your chest and bounce off? If we had lost the game I would be extremely pissed at that, but because we won I'm only disappointed in him. Also his play was not good today, and I seriously want to see him as the nickel corner from now on. If what Smootsmack is saying about Springs not starting because of disciplinary problems, then I hope he doesn't have any more for the rest of the season because we really need him back there. While our run defense is extremely stout, our pass defense still isn't what it should be.

What's with the 8 yard cushion given to receivers? What the hell is with Carlos "Toast" Rogers giving up a TD to a 2nd string tight end? And then getting abused by Chambers in the 4th quarter? WHAT THE HELL?

[AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace]

what the hell was with me thinking I could study instead of listening to/watching the game???

ps....I watched the 4th quarter

[squrrelco3]

I mentioned this in the "Ugly" thread...nothing to do directly with the game...but

WTH was up with Deirdorf and Gumble in the thrid quarter...I've never seen two announcers sniffing a Head Coaches jock the way those two guys were over Cam Cameron...by the time that was over with, you would have thought he was Bill Walsh or something...I mean shy didn't they just come out of the booth and go down on the field and start sucking him off for christsakes...WTH?

On that play Trent Green had like 6 seconds to step back and roll out to the right. We need to pressure him much better on that play. Rogers got sealed behind the huge TE so it really wasn't his fault. Maybe he could have reached around to deflect the pass and risk a penalty.

Chamber was held in check for the most part.

Looking back at the game we need more points.

Chambers was held in check by his hands, not by his coverage. And #22 was on that TE with Green scrambling right, 6 seconds is enough time to put yourself between the receiver and the qb.

You're right. So no pressure or sack would have helped out?

Yes, of course it would have helped. My point was that CR wasn't doing much of a job in man to man on a 2nd string tight end.
