Redskins vs. Patriots game thread

[redwagonskins]

sportsmanship? i've been a skins fan my whole life. being a good sportsman is giving the other guy his due when he wins, and then taking it them next time. it's not crying about them beating you to bad. we need to care about our guys not what the other guys are doing

[DynamiteRave]

I just think that we shouldn't bitch about how unclassy someone is and just go out there and do what you gotta do. If you don't, take your beating and get ready for the next game. It's football not tiddlywinks. Forget classyness just get ready for next week so that this never happens again.

The patriots are quite the aggressive bunch.

I doubt that my season tickets will go up next year.

Gibbs need to get mad. Again this post game conference, even kiel, "were all together", "it starts with me . . . . "

He like a political canidate. I want more emotion!!! GET FIRED UP

1 helluva bad game, forget it

gibbs said he did shake his hand

WE need to use this ass whipping as a cog to clear the air and get down to business. Gibbs needs to get his A game on an quit coaching like a rookie HC. Why do we open it up when the game is out of reach? Have to play for the victory from the first snap til the last. We can't seem to perfrom for a complete game. Granted the execution has sucked, but the gameplan should be innovative and agressive also. How well we play the Jets will tell us a lot about this team. If we sqeak by with a Cards type win or even lose next weekend we are in big trouble.

They need to erase this loss from their memory and move on with the rest of the season.

I have said it before and will say it again. Portis is done! His lifespan as a RB in the NFL was very short. The Skins need to start looking at their options with him.

First, I disagree with your statement that Portis is done. I saw people ripping Portis for getting hit in the backfield. I'm not sure what you think, but if a RB is getting hit in the backfield, that usually means that there are problems with the O-line and not with the RB.

What options are there? Put Betts in? Betts is NOT performing any better than Portis. In fact, Portis looks better than Betts. Moreover, people that complain about how injury-prone Portis is should look at Betts' history of injuries.

But, I guess the grass is always greener.....

He shook his hand--not an issue. So Belicheck wants records. Whatever. No one can deny they're the best in the league right now and one of the best ever. Good game in Indy next week, though.

Lots of things went wrong today. The key, no doubt was FOUR turnovers by JC. We lose to almost anyone if that happens. The D took away to long ball (but for one pass) and the Pats just adapted, as we expected. Without ball control, you can't beat those guys, IMO. And we couldn't do that at all today.

Hard loss, but that's why it mattered so very much that we beat Arizona. Now we need to bounce back an beat the Jets on the road. That's the only response to this game that matter. The rest is window dressing.

Up 38-0, the only reason to go for a 4th down in the red zone is to say (to quote the Sports Guy) "Efff You Too!" I admire the Patriots for playing hard all game, but running up the score is bush league. And lining up in the shotgun of a 45-0 game is running up the score.

If I was Gregg Williams, I would have blitzed the crap out of them in the 2nd half, playing coverage only works if you've got the corners to cover. There was a plan, but shouldn't there have been a Plan B? Of course, that means that GW would have to be taken off the medication he's been on. If we're going down, then lets go down with our best stuff.

I realize I am being bush league and immature, but I would not have been very upset if Grilliams had told his players to keep going after the whistle and hit Brady in the mouth after the play was over.

Well two wrongs don't make a right...but I agree.

[skinsnut]

I need to own up.
I am a lifetime Gibbs fan but I made the statement unless there was a dramatic move in offensive philosophy this game to deal with the OLine issues....such as change the starters or go heavy shotgun/hurry up, I would lose faith in him...
Well....not only did Gibbs not adjust the offense, GW didn't either.

Guys....it is not just player performance.
The coaches did not put the players in a position to compete with better talent.
This was obvious to all of us...and we don't get 5 million a year.

I have officially off the "give Gibbs the benefit of the doubt" bandwagon.
