Is anyone else just absolutely disgusted with DM5's play?

Looking back in hindsight, alot of the problem with the running game was the belief that Portis could be the sole weapon, and as a result, the skins never bothered with getting another competent back, in the event that something happened to CP. The closest we came was Ladell Betts in 2006, who was more than adequate in his role as starting RB. Despite that fact, no moves were made at RB and since 2007, Portis either went down with injury, or became innefective as the season wore on.

I figured that after 2008, when the wheels had clearly came of Portis even though he had a good season up until halfway, the team would draft his successor, but i understand it was Jim Zorn and he was basically helpless, but still, all the signs were there that Portis was going to go down. It's not CP's fault, he was just worn out and has never been the same player since about 2008.

They need to move on. Keep CP on the team if he wants a 3rd down role or something, but we need fresh, young legs. RB is not an old man's game, and this is something the redskins have had a hard time understanding.

Donovan's play continues to be uneven, inconsistent and challenged by coaches who need to see him perform at a high level, both in practice and in games.

Unfortunately for the Redskins, they may be expecting to get something from McNabb he's never been able to deliver "consistency". He has quickly been adorned the leader of this team, but I question his leadership here just as it was questioned by the team he departed. The Eagles didn't find his playing around with his "air guitar" gesture exiting the tunnel in Dallas last year to begin one of the most important games of their season a symbol of leadership. There's a time to play and a time to be serious.

One of the most important qualities considered in describing a leader is, one who can inspire confidence. Some players try to do it through talking, others choose to let their playing do the talking. Inconsistent play, not being what would be considered a vocal leader, then being benched at the most important time in a football game does not inspire confidence from your teammates regardless of what they may say. We need to see better play from the position for the confidence to be there.

This little archive has a way of summing-up McNabb's tenure thus far with the Redskins.

You guys see that stat about McNabb being the first Skins QB since Joey T in 84 to throw a TD in 12 consecutive games? That was both impressive and sad at the same time

That is impressive and all, but I'm happier that his streak of 10+ games with at least one interception is over. He certainly gave the Bucs a couple opportunities today though. And today marks the first time he's had a a td-interception ratio of at least +2. And he's already notched a new career high for picks in a season with 15, his previous high was 13 his second season in the league. That's kind of concerning, esp. considering some of the picks he straight telegraphed to opposing players.

i believe by rugid he means able to stay healthy and on the feild which atv has not been able to do.

back to dmac i was looking up vicks stats and noticed that dmac is number 5 in the league in yards who knew? if we could just score a damn td when we get in the red zone. i wonder how many points we have left on the board this year. NFL Stats: by Player Category

doesn't mean anything cause he's really not playing well and grossman was getting reps this week. not a good sign for dm.

i remember back in 81 when gibbs first got here. the offense was first in passing and total yards and the team was 0-5. stats can be very decieving.

Grossman won't come in again IMO, why would he?

I don't believe Grossman was getting any more reps than he usually does

Could that've been due to McNabb's hamstring?
