I think it is safe to say that this play will not be used again this year. Great design though.

And Portis? Tendonitis my ass. What the hell?!

Yeah... and I was one of the first people during pre-season to suggest Portis suffered from "pre-seasonitis" instead of tendinitis and I got called out for it. WTH?!

ARE had half as many yards in todays game as he did all of last season. What the hell?

This is what we needed. They try to take away Moss and Cooley (though Moss had some balls he should have caught) the other guy needs to step up. I wouldn't be looking for this every week, but, boy what if did step it up? Everybody would be singing a different tune about the Redskins.

[Cowell]

Now we need Lloyd to have a game like that when they take everyone away.

Jason Campbell first pass what the hell?

Everytime the ref makes a call on the skins hes grinning from ear to ear? ..... What the hell? There were times I wanted to rip off his face!

Btw, nice call on number 44, numb nuts!

Because Sellers went in motion in the backfield at the same time. He tried to play it off, but you can't have two guys in motion like that once everyones set.

Yeah really,How many times have you heard of the refs having to correct themselves on which team the penalty is on.Maybe they will get the wrong number sometimes but not the wrong team.Oh well,I guess its the refs first game too.Lets hope we can get a better crew for monday night.

Yeah. I always try to avoid sounding like a dumbass and accusing the refs of intentionally making bad calls, but I swear it seems like the Redskins get the brunt of shitty calls every season(Rogers interference???). I'm glad Coach Gibbs goes over the calls every week, and calls out the officiating committee on the bad ones.

Hey Smoot and Carlos! Play some damn bump and run. What the hell was that 10 yard cushion crap?

I believe that it is only considered motion if you are still moving when the ball is snapped.The ball hadnt been snapped yet when the d jumped offsides so it is considered a shift.I know that you can shift more than one player at a time because the Skins do it all the time.Like I said before,that exact same play was not a penalty in the pre-season.The refs huddled up and called the penalty on the D in the pre-season.

1- Gibbs making a decision to keep in Betts (a fumbler from last year) at the end of the game instead of giving it to Portis who looked GREAT.
2- Gibbs calling a time out with around 1:15 minutes left in the game on a 3rd down which ultimately gave a lot of time to the Fins, luckily they sucked too much to do anything with it.
3- Portis was running wild, and instead of running it in OT, Gibbs goes for a FIRST DOWN 40 YARD FIELD GOAL??? With an unproven kicker none the less?


Campbell throwing a pick on the first pass play of the season!!!!

Maybe this will help

Someone (and no it wasn't me) said at halftime we should put Collins in the game.
