LOL @ Redskins

It looked to me that he was crossing the middle, then stopped just as McNabb let the ball go, and reached for the ball. Either way, a first down opportunity lost.

Oh sorry dude! That sucks!

I personally think this game told quite a bit about both the Redskins and the Eagles. First, the Eagles are ready to make a Super Bowl run. I think Vick is ready to lead them. The Eagles are loaded with weapons on offense, and the defense is playing well.

As for the Redskins, this game told a lot of ugly truths. Number one, I'm not so sure Jim Haslett is the right guy to be our DC. When Gregg Williams coached our D, he had them swarming to the ball, making tackles, doing the fundamental things right. Haslett has guys missing assignments on a regular basis, being out of position, not making tackles....I understand a lot of that is on the player, but a lot of that is on the coach to correct the fundamental problems so that they don't keep happening. Haslett hasn't been successful doing this. Again, I understand the switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4, but still, these guys are professionals, they should know enough not to ever forget fundamentals.

As for the offense, well, we have no offensive line. Other than Trent Williams, there is no reason why the other guys shouldn't take the first bus out of Washington at season's end. And the thing is, this has been a glaring problem for a few years now and has not been corrected. Joey Galloway is complete trash. At least we do know we have some promising rookies on the offensive side that can come up big for us. Anthony Armstrong is a diamond in the rough and I liked what I saw out of Keiland Williams last night.

So, basically it is as simple as this. On defense, keep Orakpo, Fletcher, and Landry, and send everybody else packing. Offense, keep Trent Williams, send the other offensive lineman packing and make sure Joey Galloway has a ride home as well.

Wonder if it's a coincidence that it happened last night...

If they were going to rebuild then I think you don't bring in Shanahan. Go out and get a young coach like Morris if you're going to rebuild. Also this Jamal Brown trade seems to be a complete joke, so there's more draft picks gone for someone that's older and can't stay on the field.

Oline and RB blocking was pathetic last night. McNabb had no time whatsoever. That along with AH quitting is just embarrassing.

Terrible defensive play but you can't cut the cord on Haslett just yet. Remember it's Shanny that wanted the 3-4 and told Haslett to implement it. We still don't have the right personnel but there are times we have seen shimmers of what our D can be.

Thank you. Finally some sense. If you put Haslett back in Pittsburgh right now calling their defense, would you still say he sucks and should be fired? Conversly, would Dick LeBeau be able to do any better for us last night if he were the DC? Our defense is old, and the Eagles are way better than us. Plain and simple. There isn't a coach in the world that could have changed the outcome of that game if the players on the field didn't change with them.

Just when you start to feel good about what AH was doing, he lays on the ground while Vick scrambles around for 10 minutes. Gotta love it.

As if the complete @ss -whippin' wasn't bad enough......this PoS takes a nap mid-play.....he must be moved in the off-season for whatever we can get for him, effort like that is a cancer to a team.

Someone ought to let him have it today. That was a complete disgrace.

I wish it was possible to look at what happened last night and find a few words that would bring about a cure. This team has so many areas of deficiency, we could go on and on for days trying to put them all in some form or perspective.

Someone is eventually going to say something that hasn't already been said multiple times in describing the many things that trouble this team. It dosen't hurt as much though when you bother to keep everything in it's proper perspective from the very beginning.

In the case of MV, it's amazing what success will do for your reputation.

[skinsguy]

I think the long and short of it is, when your team gets trashed by this much, there is something wrong with your team.

[SolidSnake84]

Too many problems to boot:

No Offensive Line...it is absolute trash, and worse than Zorn's OL last year. Trent Williams is the only bright spot.

Defense: Jim Haslett has been a shit coach here. He needs fired at year's end.

WR: Joey Galloway is over the hill, and Moss isn't the same #1 that he used to be.

RB: We need someone good behind Torain/Williams.

QB: We have regressed, if anythign since week 1.

Honestly, the most frustrating part of this is that it made me realize how many times the Skins are on the losing side of:

"______________ hasn't been done in NFL history!"
"Well that really turned the season around for player _____________."
"Record setting day for ________________!!!!!"
"Never seen anything like this in my career!"

I assume I'm like everyone else and watch football every Thursday, Sunday and Monday and never in my life have I seen a team where: some kind of record is broken, a rookie has a coming out party or a vet in a slump gets back on track.

The only Redskins NFL records I can think of in recent memory are the least yards gained in a playoff win (Yay.) and the Monday Night Miracle MAYBE. It's just SO GD frustrating. I mean my cynicism is growing to an all-time high... Randy Moss hasn't had that great of a season, maybe this week he gets back on track with 200 yards receiving and 3 TDs?

THAT, and the third down conversion was actually laughable last night. We apparently can run plays of 2-3 yards on the first two downs, but when it comes to third, it's no gain or worse...
