Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)

[Chico23231]

Gano - leading the league in misses and missed 2 more today. God damn it, can we just get better here

Torain - effing sux, i hate this f*cking guy

Oline Run Blocking - Effing blows, so ready to get rid of Montgomery at C and get a new guard

Our Safety Play the entire f*cking year - God damn it Im sick and f*cking tired seeing the Laron and OJ out and have to see these muther****ers Gomes and Reed play

Fred Davis - another stupid play to give up an easy td to start the game

Haslett - Some of his calls the second half of the game is just mind boggling. Good first half, poor second half

Injuries - I hate this b*tch. im sure Silverback is out for the ****ing year.

i was real disappointed we drafted dallas startz instead of mason crosby. as much as someone could be disappointed their team didnt draft a kicker in the 6th round or whatever it was.

did it look like the boys interior rushers schemeatically went low to the side of the line trent was on to try and kinda cut down some of that line so their overloaded rushers on the outside of that side could have any easier corner to turn?

It did, im sure that's a strategy for them to get a man up to block the kick. But I mean they didnt need all that effort, its Gano, a guaranteed miss.

it looked like our guys were engaged in contact up high then had boys players diving at their knees, dont wanna sound like a whiny bitch who cries foul but i think the refs could have called 2-3 chop clocks there. it looked pretty obvious, hope the media does some follow up questions

edit - saw a replay on nfl dot com. doesnt look nefarious from their endzone angle.

Mike Shannahan - for not going for the 2 point conversion. A 3-6 team should take that opportunity.

Mike Shannahan - for having trust in Gano to make any field goal that is important (I'm an FSU fan, so both games my teams lost this week were because FSU kickers have no testicular fortitude)

Gano - for having no guts, make the damn kick. FML!

You'd think FSU fans would be used to "WIDE RIGHT".

Use to it and having to like it are two different things. Its very tiresome, not ever having a kicker that you can trust to make a game winner.

I really wanted to see them go for 2 after the TD, like you said, we are 3-6 why not do it?

Orakpo will be fine, the Skins just need to get a lead so he pin his ears back and get after the Qb.

He was in many "pin his ears back" situations on 3rd down. I don't want to be too critical of one of our best players, but it really seems his game hasn't progressed this year. He's got to learn some moves, some technique w/his hands to get free. Last year he was at least held like mad, I don't really see that much this year at all. He's not making any team afraid of him, no double or many chips on him even.

On one hand, our OLB combo seems set for years, on the other, they are not dominant by any means & don't get around the edge quick enough to make QBs hurry. Most of our sacks yesterday & this year were coverage sacks, we should've had more hurries yesterday.

There were some third downs for sure where he should have been able to get in at the QB more often. I was referring (that's a strangely difficult word to spell) more to the entire year where we have been playing from behind and trying to explain his performance. I just don't want fans to start getting down on him too much, he does need to show some more progression but if people want to complain about someone there are certainly more deserving places to look on this team in my opinion.
