Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread

[wilsowilso]

The offensive meeting will be short in STL.

Put Reed Doughty on the chalk board.....laugh out loud and then take the afternoon off.

I played football. That was a joke. We should have had Fred Smoot playing safety on that play. or Stanley Richards.

When Moore comes back our issues aren't going to be magically solved.

[mredskins]

here is my day.

Cooley catches the TD 27-10 life is grand

Texans slowly come back

Wife starts to leave with son to go to grocery store raccoon bites her it was hiding under the car.

At the same A. Johnson catches TD on 4th down

Get in car rush to ER

Acura's AC breaks on the way there (see f Toyota for the rest of this awesome week)

Get to ER finally make it to the waiting room after paperwork to see Houston win the game.

My wife is still waiting and i brought my son home.

Never have been at such a high and have it all come down so quick.

lets not forget guys, we have struggled with st louis in recent years when they have been horrible. haslett beat us when he was rams interim coach not long ago, we lost late on a betts fumble another time, and we only beat them 9-7 under zorn. plus we lost to the lions to break their winless streak. what have we shown over the years consistently? we play to the level of our opponents most of the time, up or down. we must win the rams game and we must take it extremely seriously.

Just got back to the hotel from the game.... what a freaking disaster. I have nothing to add that probably has not been said, but I knew it almost as soon as we went up 27-10.... I just knew it'd come crashing down... and of course it did. This is the stuff that I was expecting to be fixed from Shannahan. That blocked field goal is atrocious. I dont know who's fault it is, but that is the 2nd missed field goal on something like that in as many weeks. Someone needs to lose their job for it. Thats crap.

Either way, I'd rather have lost by 40 than done that...

im with you. i knew at 27-10 we were still in a ton of danger, and if we have been consistent at anything over the years its been at giving up leads and always making a close game. and fred davis missed his chip on the fg block.

That was one of the most demoralizing losses in a long time. A game we should have won and would have won if not for that blocked field goal. Then to kick the winning field goal in overtime to see it nullified because of a timely time-out by Houston. With the Redskins, the game is never over until the clock runs out. You can never ever relax and assume you've won. I'm very impressed with McNabb and equally as unimpressed with our running game. Eighteen total yards on the ground? Wow! That's gotta change. So another Monday will roll around and I won't look forward to reading the morning Post.

I honestly didn't realize we only had 18 total yrds on the ground (Are you sure?) I thought after half time they showed a stat and the Texans were like 60 something yrds and the Skins only had 5 yrds. then they kept showing Portis's stats and he was up to like 29 yrds after 2 runs.

Hey kudos to our forum guys. Obviously this loss sucked, but no one was dumb enough to make an attention getting thread full of incoherent ramblings (which is kind of surprising considering how many new members have come in). ES, God bless them, obviously they have quality guys over there, but the sheer volume of that community makes those embarrassing threads all to common.

Speaking of incoherent ramblings when are we going to get another "Smoot lays the Smackdown" thread?

Yeah, but even if we make that field goal, it's only a 10 point game and that probably wouldn't have been enough.

The way things were going, if it was 4th and 95, Schaub would have found Andre Johnson wide open for a 96 yard completion.

Personally a 4-12 season like last year was much more demoralizing than what happened yesterday. At least we have a competitive team now, last year we were just woefully overmatched in every game. We now have a chance.

I totally agree. I know I used the term "pretty loss" and no loss is pretty but compared to the last 2 yrs and possibly the last 10 yrs this loss we actually looked competative in. We kept the game close. Better clock management. and on the plus side a better idea of just how good we might be. The Dallas game left me wondering still what kind of team we had..... did Dallas play down to us, did we play better then we actually are? Then to see Dallas struggle yesterday did not make me feel much better prior to our game. Here both Dallas and the Texans were supposed to be play off teams this yr and possibly SB teams and we beat one and went toe to toe with the other almost beating them. Folks .... I'm exited. Yes this team has a way to go and it might take 2-3 yrs but if we are this good now imagine how we could look yr 2 or 3.

The last sentence I said that also and was called a fool.
