this is probably in another thread somewhere but anyhow, i watched the interview with portis today and his comment(although kinda funny at the time) about how jason was at redskin park for 18 of 24 hrs a day, then when asked about his work schedule portis replied "anything over 9 hrs is a breach of my contract, hahaha". but behind every joke is a little bit of truth. every time i read the skins news, same old thing. "campbell stayed after practice working with several different receivers today, among them were thrash,randle el, Mcardell" blablabla....point is i never here anything about moss or lloyd out there putting in extra time to help a young qb out. coincidence these are the same jackasses dropping and fumbling? (im sorry, but if you get paid millions to catch a piece of pigskin and the ball touches your hands, a constant drop is inexcusable). we shot ourselves in the ass today and as coach gibbs would say, "we all need to take a good look at ourselves in the mirror"

One thing you said is so right there is a lot of players not putting in thier time to win a Championship. The money the Redskins pay Portis he should be giving much more then this team is getting!!!! I wish he was back in Denver for a first round draft pick in next years draft!!!! I hope you read this to #26!!!

I'm sure Moss and Campbell have worked after hours together. I know they worked overtime in the off-season together

[RedskinPete]

Just got home and watched the game on tevo...Wish I hadn't now. As for Moss what is wrong? Well another player that has one good year and is now nothing. A has been that NEVER was!!!! It's hard to be a Redskin Fan these days. I feel for Gibbs.....never should have come back to this bad a team!

[DEVIL'S OWN]

ITS LIKE portis and moss or pissed at the organizations now......and they seem not to put in that extra needed to make us elite I mean, these are Miami guys, Sean Taylor put in the time to lose 15 pounds in the off Season to roam the field better and thats paying off on D, its time to pay him or were fucked with out him on D

Santana Moss is an incredible player and a huge part of our offense. He had a bad game. He's probably still hurting a bit. Let's give him a break this week and watch him bounce back against the Cardinals. Expect Moss to bounce back immediately.

Something tells me SM won't play in this game. I heard he hurt his hammy. He seems to miss alot of games. He had that problem in NY, thats why they dumped him. If he does play, He needs to have a chance early in the game to redeem himself. He is a bigtime playmaker and need to get the ball early and often. Skins 32- Cardinals-0. Thats right, a shutout!!!

[Luxorreb]

What about the multi dimensional Tim Rattay!? I mean his first consecutive start this season. And been on the team since last Monday...

[MTK]

It goes without saying that Moss was extremely disappointing yesterday. He really needs to step it up and get back on track ASAP.

[BleedBurgundy]

I wonder if the poor performances yesterday at a couple of key spots were due to players playing with injuries? There's no excuse for that mess yesterday but I would feel better if I knew that there was at least some sort of reason behind the bad play.

Redskins WR Moss pulls himself from game, blames himself for loss to Packers
By COLIN FLY, AP Sports Writer
October 14, 2007

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- First Santana Moss benched himself, then blamed himself for the Redskins' 17-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. His Washington teammates declined to pile on, saying Moss was being too critical of his play.

"I just didn't feel right. I took myself out," said Moss, who left the game shortly after a costly fumble. "Something wasn't feeling right with me and why go out there and keep another guy from helping us win? ... I wasn't making the plays that I should have been making."

Moss finished without a catch and allowed the go-ahead touchdown when he fumbled on a reverse that Charles Woodson picked up and returned 57 yards with 2:05 left in the third quarter.

"I can go home and sit there and probably break my TV based on what I'm going to see tonight," Moss said. "I know that's not the solution."

Despite a cramp in his leg, Moss kept the focus solely on his miserable performance, which included several uncharacteristic dropped passes.

"I'm going to blame me first," Moss said. "I look at myself way harder than any of you guys do or really harder than any teammate or coach is going to."

While Moss' honesty was refreshing, the truth was all the Redskins squandered multiple opportunities after looking in control with a 14-7 halftime lead.

"We all know that when you play as hard as he does there may be days like this that come up for you," Redskins coach Joe Gibbs said. "It's not any one guy, and I never look at it as any one guy. We had a lot of things happen to us today in a lot of different areas. It's Redskins together. It certainly wasn't any one player."

Washington went 0-for-7 on third down and 0-for-2 on fourth down in the second half and dropped at least eight passes during the game. It became apparent early in the third quarter that the momentum had shifted.

Jason Campbell found James Thrash for a 40-yard play that was nullified by offsetting penalties, including pass interference on Thrash. Moss couldn't catch the next pass in double coverage and Washington was forced to punt.

Moss also dropped another deep toss down the right side with 48 seconds left in the third quarter, and decided to let Keenan McCardell take his place. McCardell finished with two receptions for 30 yards, but Washington receivers only caught four of Campbell's 37 throws.

"He is a great person, and I don't want the city or anyone else to say anything bad about him or get down on him," Campbell said of Moss.

Moss, who signed a six-year, $31 million contract in 2005 after being traded from the Jets, hopes to forget about his bad day and bounce back quickly.

"I never had a game like this and I hope I never have another one," he said. "You've got to dig within and see what you have."

If he did it for injury, he did the right thing. I HOPE injuries are to blame for his pathetic performance. If he did it for any other reason, that's bad news for the future. If he's not confident in himself, he'll be another Rod Gardner.
