Only then to see Rabach come in to the game after that,to see Mcnabb under pressure the rest of the game as we lose?

Please tell me that's not true?
Please tell me,the coaching staff did not make this decision.
Please tell me this information is wrong?

It's not true. Rabach started, and I'm pretty sure he played the whole game. Hicks started at RG, but was ultimately pulled for Montgomery

Casey Rabach would get away with murder -- that kid has the full confidence of the Redskins staff for some reason

Anyone think Favre doesn't even think about running it if Landry is in?

He was missed yesterday.

Good news is that AP only played about 1 qtr so we didn't get spanked even worst even though we made the young backup look decent too

Yeah I had a feeling we were headed into a game simular to the MNF game a couple of weeks ago, before AP left.. I'm sitting here listening to Kevin Sheehan and he said "Let's face it, every win the Skins had this year was due to the other team making mistakes. The other teams gave the Skins their wins with mistakes or key injuries, we haven't gone out and taken a single game". I have to agree with Mr. Sheehan.

Anyone think the Vikings took all of their plays designed to get behind an overly-aggressive safety off the charts because Landry was out yesterday?

Brett Favre has played against safeties far more fearsome than LaRon Landry and has run the ball against them when he had to.

I don't know the exact stat, but that was his longest run in a while, since last year I believe. I don't think the Vikings took all their plays out, but if Favre had seen an "overly aggressive safety" headed his way, he may have tried to throw a back against the grain errant ball. I do believe he has done that once or twice in his career.

...

"Did I expect to run for the first down?" Favre said. "I hadn't expected to run for a first down in quite a while. ... It was 10 yards, really? It felt like 50."

Asked about the play, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe joked: "I was like, 'I should press play with the slow motion.' That was big though. That's effort from the team."
...

The run was Favre's longest since he took off for 27 yards against Buffalo on Dec. 14, 2008, when he played for the Jets.

(emphasis mine)

Of course it's also discouraging that he made 10 yds

The most exciting part of the game after the first series was the fight that broke out during the last Vikings drive. Some serious hey-makers were being thrown.

Another reason to stay home, plus the parking, the quality of team on the field, the price of a beer, etc...


This will be my first year not going to any games and I am not sad in the least.

I haven't been to a game since 2007, and don't miss the "game day experience" in the least. Everything about Fed Ex Field has the feel of a Snyder "Hard Sell". I hated the PA announcer telling the crowd to make some noise on opponents' 3rd downs, as if we weren't intelligent enough as fans to figure that out. Message to Snyder - Give us a better product on the field, then I might consider returning to games and feeding your cash machine.

More and more people are getting to the point where they share in your sentiments and have begun to act accordingly.

It's not as much fun going to the games as it used to be. The one thing that keeps me going is, I sit with the same group of guys I've been sitting with for years. We try to continue enjoying the experience, but it get's a little rough sometimes.

[SmootSmack]

I think it's two different thing Redskins vs. Vikings identifies the game and Fan Fight, well that's self explanatory
