Gameday Thread: Redskins vs Lions

[Daseal]

Hey guys! Moral victory. Kai kicked a ball to the endzone!

[Zerohero]

Thank you Kindoy for the stream, i normally buy the preseason online package but this year they bundled it with the whole reg season. I already have the NFL package so that seemed excessive.

Well these are the woes of rebuilding. I don't care who's QB back there, as long as our young players get to develop.

The Lions were a playoff team last year and our offense and defense showed that they can't match up to a playoff team.

I would not be surprised to see something like that next week against Baltimore.

So you thought the lions would come in here and whip rg3 like a little bitch?

The Lions first team whooped our whole first team. I was hoping we would fare better, but I'm not going to pretend like I knew it would be this bad. At the same time, they were a playoff team last year and we've won 7 games in the past two years and we're rebuilding. So you do the math.

I like this Bell kid.

I am tired of that word "rebuilding". It presumes something is actually getting built. Almost 20 years of this shit. Can you honestly say the Skins are better than last year, or think they will be better next year than they have been the last 15 years?

I can say honestly it is....idiotic to try and....conjure that from a game and a half of pre-season.

Well you can't rebuild a team when you mortgage all of your picks on one rookie (Shanny years) and had a lot of failed mid/lower round picks.

The word rebuilding is a crutch. Anytime a team sucks something awful, the word "rebuilding" gets thrown around.

Real rebuilding implies, scrapping everything, starting over, seeing improvement over the years but slowly being able to see pieces come together here and there.

On the defensive side of the ball, I might be able to buy that. The young guys show some promise.

On the offensive side of the ball, that's not rebuilding. The offense Still looks out of sync. The O-line is still looking shaky. RG3 is still making the same mental mistakes. He's still fumbling the ball. On the play he got injured, it wasn't even the O-line's fault. And looks like he's still soft and injury prone.

At some point people are going to have to address the elephant in the room.

I'm going to a housewarming in Baltimore. I'll love getting trash talked the entire time.

Ross doing his best Randle El impression.

I love Trey Williams. He can sing. He can juke. Keep this kid.

I wonder where HonoluluBlue, our resident Lions fan is? He usually gives pretty fair opinions on the Lions and the Skins. I'd be interested in knowing his take on this game.
