The Dreaded Third Quarter

dmek25 · 10-31-2008, 08:54 AM

we have been complaining about injuries for years. this year, so far the skins have been relatively healthy. and i agree. the bye comes at a great time

Bottom line- Monday night's game is a huge, huge game. Blache said it's his biggest game since he's been here. He has issued a challenge to the defense to carry the team. I believe defensively we're gonna be on fire. It's gonna be a slobbernocker. And low scoring I think.

We're dinged up for sure, but we've got enough veteran leadership to get the guys to suck it up for one more week. The Danny should send all of them to a week long spa treatment for the bye week. We need it.

Matt Terl on the Redskins Blog yesterday said the Skins had one of the most energetic practices they've had in weeks, since before the Philly game. Blache has been telling the players how important this game is. I expect us to come out fired up!

Blache seems to be a good electricfying motvater, im sure he will have our D ready for Monday night. Special since its a national televised game. Plus with all our recent struggles this yar on sacking the Qb, i wouldnt be surprised if we get maybe 2-3 sacks all of a sudden on Monday..it be nice..with the win it should throw us into a good third quarter!

I wouldn't say anyone got joy out of pointing out the negatives. We are what we are.

I created this thread BEFORE the start of the third quarter of the season, because I had begun to notice that recent Novembers past have been a notoriously bad month for the Skins. I never said told you so, and I certainly take no joy in another lousy 3rd quarter of the season. I do find losing all 3 home games unacceptable for a team that considers itself a contender.

Thank god November is over! We've been pretty good in December, I think. Let's hope it happens again.

Doesn't seem to be all that hard for the teams who are playing us.

maybe, but different teams do have some tendencies. Many teams have trouble in Dec ala Dallas, Some are notorious for slow starts. Seems like coaching style and motivations would have some bearing. (I like the reports this week for Dallas about Wade Phillips amazing motivational style )
