They are better at getting to the perimeter than smash mouth. The identity of this offense has changed. We are now the identity of the Kansas City Chiefs offense but with better athletes even though they had a better o-line. Did I analyzed this correctly?

i thought our coaching on both sides of the ball was on point. i would have liked to have seen more running plays in the second half but with all the injuries on the O line the coaches had to adjust accordingly i suppose. Gibbs has said "we had a good game plan we just didnt execute it" in past games were the general fan consensus was that the play calling hurt us, not the players.

Well this game to me looked like we had a great gameplan but our players didnt execute. I am not worried, we have a good team and our coaches are starting to click. I just hope the injuries to our O-line do not prove to be too great a handicap the rest of the season.

We cant be the smash-mouth, protect the ball, run the possession clock and get big play action pass play team we are built for if we dont have our hogs (samuels, thomas, rabach, jansen, and kendall) out there. idk, im still tryin to digest this all but i see true progress from the coaches compared to years past.

go skins!!!!

You and the rest of the defense played great. The wideouts need to remember the fundamentals. Any one of those drops could have changed the outcome of the game. I think things will get better ..one bad game doesn't turn a good player into a bad one. JC put up a great effort with little help. I just wonder where the intensity is in the receivers. Looking at them during the game, they didn't seem very amped up.
Keep doing what you're doing. We love you guys. You are the best.

yeah, it's only a rule in college now I believe. Stupid cause it's a 100% judgement penalty. Plus...who cares about that play, it didn't affect the game in the end.

The Zimmermans · 10-15-2007, 01:43 PM

aikman is a good commentator...better than theisman....too bad I have to credit a cowboy

theJBexperience · 10-15-2007, 01:57 PM

Can we get some receivers that can catch? What will we do next year if Santana doesn't get his hands back, McCardell retires, and B Lloyd is on the short bus out of here?

TruckMcLaren · 10-15-2007, 04:08 PM

This is the REAL Redskins team we all missed seeing! What a bunch of CLOWNS! I dont know about anyone else, but Im sick of having FALSE HOPE!!! I think it's time to start watching golf on Sundays. P.S. I hate watching golf!!!

JWsleep · 10-15-2007, 04:13 PM

Or maybe the real redskin team is the one that beat Detroit.

I think Boswell's article in the WPost today is pretty good on this point. Try to stay on an even keel, and be ready for some close games. But why would you give up on a team that has a good D, a rising young QB, and has a good chance of being 4-2 in a week NFC after next week?

I honestly compeltley disagree with you guys about Aikman. I think that he's the best color guy out there, and if you listen to him broadcast, he'll say negative stuff about the Skins, but he'll say just as negative stuff about everyone else.... I mean with the way some of our players played yesterday, Its pretty hard to praise them...I think he does a fine job.

I think, admittedly, I find things wrong with his commentating cause I just don't like him. I honestly don't care...he's just a commentator...nothing the mute button can't fix. But I do see the points of people that think he's negative against the Skins...oh well.
I think commentators are like artwork, some people will love them, and some will think they are complete poo. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Well for one of the few times since Gibbs return I saw a game plan that was worthy of his talents, we threw the ball like we should, if this continues teams will start backing off the line of scrimmage opening up the run game a little more, the fact is dropped ball were responsible for this lose, if we just make the reasonable catches we win by a minimum of 14 points, add into that Taylors inability to make a routine INT and this game could have been a blow out in our favor. I had maybe one gripe about play calling and that was the 4th and 2 play where we cleared out the backfield and threw the ball in the flat and got nothing you have to make the LB's respect the run there with play action if you plan on throwing, other than that I had no problem. The end around to Moss was and is something we should be doing more often with him and ARL, the fact that he fumbled isn't Gibbs fault. I feel considering we had a decimated O-line the coaching should get an A+ for the game plan, the players definitely lost this one big time!

Portis's possible problem? It's this simple for 2 years he was racking up numbers in a RB friendly system, he became a legend in his own mind and many others, couple that with Gibbs willingness to pay him 52 mil, and give away the best CB in the league well that just cemented that thought, now everyone is seeing what Portis really is a nice change of pace type back, he is not built to carry the work load on a consistent basis, the fact is he is a media personality and he receives plenty of hype for that, but he is vastly overrated as a RB.

As far as Aikman goes he has always been very fair with his comments on game day about us, I believe he does a great job on our games with a tremendous insight on what is right and wrong on the offensive side of the ball, unfortunately there are to many out there who want to here how great we are 24-7, to say other wise is blasphemy, so he gets lambasted because he played for the cowboys, he's been as unbiased towards us as you could ask for, in fact I have felt in the past that he may even go out of his way to be fair as to not be taken biased because he was a cowboy, I for one hope he continues with our games.
