Too soon?

Oh I get it... because of what the giants did to us after THEIR owner died last year.

Very good.

SmootSmack · 08-28-2006, 03:46 PM

In related news, Dan Snyder has agreed to "die" every Thursday this season. Ok, I better stop now...TMC, I'll see you in hell I guess

Williams basically laughed at the media after the game saying they didn't know what the hell was going on when they asked why the secondary was so shaky.

Think of these preseason games as an extension of practice. The coaches are setting up certain scenarios, letting mismatches get created against them, all to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of individual players.

They're coming at these games from an entirely different perspective than we can probably even totally understand. We look at the score, stats, and if player A got beat by player B. I can guarantee they're looking at things ALOT differently than we are.

Wasn't Gibbs' postgame reactions a little odd after the Patriots game?? He didn't look frazzled or frustrated as he usually does after a loss, especially a complete ass whoppin' like that.

What better time is there to give the team a taste of humility than when the games don't count? What better time to strike a fire in this team's belly than in the preseason? What better frame of reference for the team to have headed into a nationally televised season opener than this horrible preseason?? You just know the coaches are using this to their advantage, so when the team comes out of that tunnel on 9/11 they're going to be chomping at the bit to show the world what they're really made of.

well i really didnt think of it like that...getting burned on one single play okay....but to basically "throw a game" in essence as a motivation ploy?....i dont know seems like i am drawing at one heck of a straw. I am a die hard redskin fan of 34 years and I am just a little worried to play like this. There have been no glimpses of any promise except for maybe Jason Campbell. I have liked alot of what I have seen of him. All I can say my friend is I hope you are right.

OK so in this guys mind getting your QB get hit what 5 or 6 times is part of a game plan to see if he can stay healthy.

Look we all know coaches don't try to show a lot and try to put their team in scenarios to see how the can handle it and correct some things before the season starts.

But if that was the case and as much said it of oline with only 5 lineman and quick passes still the scenario was a loss Brunnel couldn't move the ball the Oline couldn't protect him the D looked vanilla against a Patriot's team that also wasn't trying to show much.

And in 3 games the offense hasn't click you can say any scenario Saunders or Gibbs are trying to see of their players but at some point they want to see what they've been practicing work move some chains get rhythm and some confidence in the system.

Look is not time to push the panic button at all but you can't be so naive to say everything is OK it was all planned Gibbs meant to made your offense look like crap for 3 games in a row and the defense look lost and out of position the hole game it's just not real.

TheMalcolmConnection · 08-28-2006, 05:02 PM

You say all this stuff, but do you REALLY think this team has regressed THIS much while keeping the entire offensive and defensive lines intact? The Redskins have only added quality players while losing only malcontents.

that's all true MC, but we also totally rejiggered the offense. took us most of last season to get Gibbs' offense working right. and we were working with it for years.

i'm concerned changing to Saunders's scheme may have been a bigger disruption to this offense than anticipated.

vaoutlaws2006 · 08-28-2006, 05:07 PM

if we played like that against the pats in the regular season i think it would have been worse. we better circle the wagons and get it together in a hurry.

D'BOYZ · 08-28-2006, 05:11 PM

No Malcolm I don't think it has regressed I even put your team in contention for the SB in my predictions I didn't saw any mayor flaws in your team some concerns oline depth, LB specially but saw a team in the rise.

MY opinion on the Offense is that maybe the players are having problems adjusting to the new system Sauders is implementing and it's taking more time to get insink.

The other is that Brunnel may have more trouble with his trowing hand that he hurt before camp that it's let to believe and it messing with his timing.

illdefined · 08-28-2006, 05:16 PM

on the other side of the ball, while we still have Williams, one thing he's always had here is solid corner play. its been the key. as long as he's been here, we've never been in such bad corner shape.

724Skinsfan · 08-28-2006, 05:33 PM

I believe that the game might have been a little different if Moss had caught that come-backer at the 10 yard line. Also, I think it was Lloyd that just missed getting his second foot in on that out pattern. During the regular season we need to make those plays.

illdefined · 08-28-2006, 05:38 PM

watching the post game interviews, NO ONE seems that sincerely upset. i don't think its just that its preseason either.

and Gibbs is almost giddy. it's almost as if he put it to the players to prove the importance of what the coaches do. and left them on their own to blunt any notion of personal greatness...
