Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins at Eagles)

I mean whether we lay smackdown during the game or just 5 mins after it...really makes no difference to me. Saying Mike Sellers sucks balls during the game or just after it...its the samething, Mike Sellers sucks.

To dismiss the win is a completely different thing, thats really not understanding NFC East football. To win in this conference on the road, its always physical and always super ugly.

I was reading a Giants gameday thread when they had 9 sacks and only a 3-0 lead and the difference was night and day vs. ours. If I was only following the game based on our gameday thread I would have thought we were getting blown out.

Saying Mike Sellers sucks during the game is one thing. Saying Mike Sellers sucks, now we're going to lose the game even though we're winning by two scores, have the ball and the clock is running is another.

End of the day, what matters to me is we won and I'm happy about that. Whether others are doesn't really make a difference I suppose

Sellers does suck. He's a liability everytime he's on the field and touching the ball.

I was definitely a key whiner yesterday, I mean basically I got tired of seeing our DEs get in a choke hold on every play. I think literally 50-60% of times Peters could have been called for a hold. Maybe in the interest of keeping the game going they didn't call those and I understand a lot of stuff goes on but it was TOTALLY blatant.

Like you said Chico, it's just years of games like this going in the DIFFERENT direction. It's going to take a few wins like this on OUR side for me to get over it.

I was lurking the game day thread. It pretty much turned my stomach to read all of the negativity. I can understand if the 'skins were losing, but for Pete's sake, it was ridiculous to read. You have to keep in perspective that this team is going through a transition. The Redskins were 4-12 last season. There is a lot of new things going on with this team this year and it is all going to take time. I can tell a world of difference already. Yes, I am very frustrated with the defense and extremely frustrated with Stephon Heyer, but it will get better. You also have to look at the positives. The Redskins are undefeated in their division. I'm not sure if the Redskins even won a game in their division last year. Maybe one? That is already an improvement.

I haven't read the entire thread - but then I don't think I need to. It's the same people saying the same things since Gibbs II. "Doom Doom Doom".

Look, I hate it when we lose, but - dammit - WE F'ING WON. Sure, it wasn't pretty and, yes, there are some serious issues that need to be addressed. So, should we bring back Vinny and his "quick fix" method? Or - maybe, just maybe - we can be patient with MS and BA. (Hey, they already have 2 more wins than Gibbs did in his first 5 games).

It is unlikely this team is going anywhere beyond 16 games this year. In fact, it is unlikely that, as a Skin's fan, you will have more than six or seven "Winning Mondays" in the next ten months. So, I suggest you enjoy the ones you get. Bitch after the losses. But damn. Enjoy the win for at least a day or two.

My smack? all covered. lots of questionable coaching issues. McNabb - Out of bounds? Really? - Was this another "I didn't know how overtime works." moment? Banks on a reverse from the 3? Yikes - clever by a half.

We are 2-0 in the division - w/ home games against both the Eagles & Cowboys to come. We are tied at the top of our division. I don't expect that to last so I will enjoy the victory. I'll take 12 more of these ugly lucky wins any season b/c the Skins winning makes my f'ing week.

So hate on if you must, but, in the immortal words of Sir Mick - "Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!"

I think a lot of folks get frustrated during the game becasue we are waiting for the other shoe to drop as how we are going to find away to lose the game.

[12thMan]

Yeah some folks will never be happy. They don't hand out UW (ugly wins) in the NFL. I'll take a W anyway we can get it.

In other news, I just picked up Ryan Torain for my fantasy team. He might be a keeper.

Now that is comedy! You be better served picking up Sam Bradford (assuming he is still around).

[Alvin Walton]

Speaking of Torain....is he the #1 guy now with Portis banged up?

Hopefully Portis will ready to go next week. Love Torain, but Portis is the better all-around back in my opinion.

Jeez nobody is saying we're now the Colts or Patriots, we're just saying it's ok to enjoy a win and not nitpick and bitch about every little shoulda, coulda, woulda moment.

My God, this thread has turned into everyone either bitching about the game, or bitching about people bitching about the game. How about we talk about the game?
Why did the Skins changed the approach to the running game in the second half?
How did Haynesworth appear to everyone?
Who are the real Redskins, the team we saw in the first half, or the team we saw in the second?
