(Vent thread) I'm sorry,but the notion,that the Redskins have "no" receivers is just stupid!

after watching TJ play last night, I say that was a whiff on Bruce and company not signing that guy. Pisses me off!

Once the Ravens came into the picture there wasn't much we could do. TJ was already being paid and compared to the Skins the Ravens were a much more viable competitor.

What did TJ do last night? 1 catch? Yeah I know he just signed there, just saying.

Boldin was the one that impressed me. He's a beast, wish we could have landed him somehow.

I guess he did only have one catch, he seemed open quit a bit to me. IDK I am just frustrated with our group of WR's.

I'm not sure we can fairly judge our WRs offer until McNabb gets up to speed in the offense.

At this stage of his career TJ was also looking for the best opportunity to perhaps win a super bowl. Consumed with the feeling the Ravens situation offered him a better chance at accomplishing that goal, his choice was easy.

I don't know what you're talking about. It wasn't my post, I was holding it for a friend.

I wonder if the chance to go against Cincy twice a year had something to do with the decision. In the end, TJ could choose whoever he wanted and still get a top dollar salary, nice situation to be in no matter what your line of work

Well, he was going to get top dollar salary no matter where he landed courtesy of the Seahawks. I think you are right, he prob wanted to go against Cincy twice a year, and I'm sure experts picking the Ravens to go to the SB went into that decision.

He got that pass interference call in the end zone that resulted in the TD. It was a weak call but it counted.

IMO as good as a catch; just like Rak's holding plenty. If your talent is good enough to draw penalty and it helps move the ball or allows your team to win that is talent and a accommodate in this NFL (sadly).

The offense and passing game were imo out of sync Sunday night, both from an execution and gameplanning standpoint.
I though the instances of confusion and resulting wasted time outs were evidence of this.
But, that's gonna happen with so much 'newness' on the offense.
So although the passing game didn't look sharp they will get better.
Also, we played a very good defense last night, it reminds me of the start the Texans offense had against the Jets last year.

Galloway was only targeted once and he was open on a deep comeback route but McNabb was getting pressured, (it would be a tough throw to make for any QB).
Galloway could have been open all day for all we know.

Armstrong had imo a bad game he was targeted 5 times (2 in the RZ) and had 1 catch.
I recall McNabb(under duress i think) threw a bounce pass on crossing route where Armstrong was open.
And Armstrong had a chance on 2 well thrown stutter fade routes.

I think the coaching staff showed they had faith in him by targeting him 5 times and don't think they would or should give up on him after 1 game.

Roydell was targeted once on 3rd down late in the game and was open but McNabb (under duress) missed him with another bounce pass.

Devin Thomas was an BEAST on Kick Return and i value his contributions there as more valueable then trying him out on offense when we already know that the coaching staff don't consider him as one of the top 4 WR options on this team.

I wouldn't mind seeing him on specfic designed plays just for him-like that screen to Moss, I would love to see wild child catch a couple screens and run a couple of 9 routes.
But start opposite Moss nah i'll pass.

I want to see more Fred Davis though.
Not 1 target for him the whole game and very few double TEs passing sets.

Absolutely...teams like the Pats and Colts toss the ball up knowing full well that it will be either caught or result in an interference penalty.
