The official Skins/Seahawks game thread

[thomasfan31]

Good that we won. Portis is a beast and Jason was pretty efficient. Defense was a little shaky at times but they sure did come through when it was important!

All I have to say is thank God for Shawn Springs. I was ready to start a thread about Ladell Betts.

I don't believe that his forward progress was stopped for long enough to blow the whistle. Ladell did a horrible job of covering up the ball before contact. I can' believe that when you know the defense intends to try to strip you, you allow it to happen. I'm still beside myself.

Wasn't he the one who fumbled the game away against Dallas around 5 years ago?

Titans tripped today. Yeah. I just wish the Giants would trip more.

I'm really hoping for a miracle next wk, I think we'll play our best ball of the season, Considering the Taylor tribute and everything, I also think we match up pretty well with them, I mean if Springs was on buress in that 1st game we very well could've won they only scored 16 we have to find a way to get to eli and protect Campbell. The Campbell draw option could come in real handy GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we'll win next week. Our CB's can contain their WR's which comes to their running game which I hope we can control this time. I believe our receiving corp will improve now that Sellers is being used more, Kelly is healthy and I think maybe Thomas gets more reps.

We've got to stop the running game next week against the Giants. Their three RB are destroying teams every week.

On any given Sunday, a team can win.

Not to question your spirit here, but I am sure we we be at least 10 pt underdogs. Seattle ran all over us...especially targeting our small ends.
I am sure the Gmen will do this too.
And remember....we need to score to win.
Revenge would be sweet...but looking at the teams we barely beat and the ones that stomped on us...it is just not a good pattern to look forward to.

I am just trying to be objective here.
It is easily the least likely game to win the rest of the season...and it may even be more difficult that our first playoff game...assuming we make it.

We barely beat a 2-8 team (now 2-9) and while the win is great, the team needs to make some major adjustment as they face a superior opponent. Other than the game against the Bengals (and possibly the game against the Skins), the Giants have shown to be a dominant team on both sides of the ball. The Redskins need to show up for all of their remaining games, and bring their "A" game. Right now the team is barely holding on to the 6th playoff spot, and every game from now on will determine whether we hold on to that spot or lose it to Dallas, Atlanta, or Minnesota.

How bout cleveland beat the shit out of them, And we beat cleveland. And we gave the giants one of their toughest games at the meadowlands, And although it scares me to use this and it not turn out well, Honoring Sean Taylor should give us a big emotional boost. Who knows any given sunday.

I am going to say this one time and I have said any many times before. Betts is garbage. For all those who before the beginning of the season said we should trade Portis take your foot out your mouth now!!

Betts is garbage. He hasn't done squat this year. CP is the man and Tip Toe, Rock and Betts together can't equal CP. We should have kept Mason. If we get a chance. We better pick him back up at the end of the season and still pick up someone very late in the draft or in free agency and let Betts go. This is not just because he fumble but because he sucks..He had one good year he is overrated and we wasted a good opportunity not trading him when he was playing good behind a good offensive line and people thought he was a hot commodity (and I dont want to hear anything about him being injured because Portis jsut came of injury too). Let the hating begin....


HTTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO SKINS!!!!!!

And Mason has done what in the NFL? Not shit. Learn the difference between preseason and the NFL!!!!

[IowaSkinsFan]

On the realistic note, it's pretty sad that we can only beat a 2-8 team by 3 points. Top competitors have been crushing this team. I wince about next week.

[itvnetop]

Simple game plan for next week... stack the box and play man coverage. Our secondary is playing really good now with Springs back and Hall getting more comfortable. The Giants three-pronged attack (hopefully Jacobs will still be out) is tough. Eli's spreading the ball around, so look to limit FB and TE catches.

[hail_2_da_skins]

The reason the Cowboys and the Seahawks were able to run on the Skins is because of the defensive alignment. The Redskins lineup four defensive linemen, head to head accross the offensive front and drop the three linebackers 5-7 yards deep straight back of the line. That creates a natural seam off tackle and that's were team are exploiting the Skins against the run. The Skins need to make an adjustment to counter this. If not, the Giants are going to run all over them.
