So mch for optomism, the reality sets in that we still have the same head coach setting the game plan, calling the offense and not making the critical 1/2 time adjustments. .


If you're still a day trader with this team, you're crazy. We're going to win some games this year, and we're going to ...

A smart play caller would have recognized the O line all banged up and would have dialed up nothing but 3 second dink and dunk ...

I'm feeling good about this, I have even dug my 'RedSkin' GameDay jacket out of the closet and wearing it in public! I hope to see a solid, conservative offense and a Defense that just dominates, humilates and punishes the Atlanta Crows or whatever they're called. I want to see Ionitites (?) and ...

Isn't HE the guy in the stocks for ordering an 'Autumnal Meade?' Isn't THAT Speedy?

Another improvement I see is the overall lack of serious injuries. Last year at this time we had a good number of key players sidelined, this year we have the expected dings and aches you'd expect from pro football. I felt last year was excessive, something wrong in the conditioning of the players ...

I wonder what inspired that? I thought the safetys were doing ok, or maybe they are trying to free up DJ some more so he can do his thing. Maybe they've had to be conservative and have kept him in coverage because they felt weak?

There is only one name that should be on the list: Joe Jacoby. Until he has been enshrined all other considerations should be regarded as imposters, IMHO. I don't care if they are a coach, bucketboy or Gary Clarke, Joe Jacoby was the true embodyment of a football player and for the HOF Committee to ...

The Giants could win if we don't slam the door in their faces, if we let up the pressure and give them hope. The game could easily come down to a forced fumble in our endzone for a defensive TD, like we did the Cowboys. We could outplay them for 59 minutes and 55 seconds, all but the 5 seconds it ...

I'd say we could easily loose to the Giants, we're a better team inmo but this is a Giants/Skins game at the Meadowlands. It'll be an a**pincer for sure. As for receivers, I'd say we're good. They haven't found themselves yet, they aren't a receiving corps, they're getting there. Give them the time ...

Jay Gruden has CLEARLY PROVEN to me that he's not a good NFL coach - maybe he's another coordinator that don't know how to make the step up

maybe some are satisfied with Gruden - I think this franchise would be a lot better off with a good GM who is allowed to bring in his own HC

not sure that ...

I've been critical of Manusky, but I think we'll keep him in charge for another week or two. The D was fantastic, I kinda hated to see the field goal attempt fail because watching the defense work was a thing of beauty. I think they could've stopped any team in the NFL yesterday, they were ...

Agreed the play calling was lame when it should have been aggressive, al least they should have run the to the left where AP had consistantly ripped some big numbers, Alex Smith couldn't throw the ball for some reason, he kept missing receivers and running out of bounds stopping the clock is a ...

They let Sean McVay go and kept Gruden. Best not look at his stats as HC. The front office made a hard decision to keep Gruden (his contract could have been paid off) and let McVay go. That decision making tells me the 'decision makers' are totally incompetant, any decision from at least that point ...

[quote="Burgundy&GoldForever"]Yea, Jay Gruden was the idiot who committed multiple defensive penalties on 3rd downs when the defense had New Orleans stopped. Gruden was the one who let a receiver run right by him for 52 yards although I could have sworn the jersey said "Nicholson." Gruden was the ...

I think it s also a reflection of how Godell is running the NFL. He wants to use the NFL to make political statements then we too can make them by not attending and not watching on TV. I listen to the 'skins on WMAL and refuse to watch any other game.

'Surgery' don't mean what it used to do. It could be just a pressure relief method done thru a mini-hole and 'sutured' up with a bandaid.

If he does it should be "Not One Of Your Cousins"

Dood!

We'll give them credit for the Cousins/Smith move but the AP move could have happened last year. It'll take more than this to earn our respect, praise is a lofty goal they can shoot for around 2020.

They looked like seasoned professionals out there, playing with the confidance like a winning team would have late in the season. Very impressive, beyond my expectations.

Agree, Hopkins will cost us 2 more just like last year.

Some players are different but the coaches telling them what to do, how to do it and managing the game are the same. We'll have same results with different names.

IIRC Kelly was undrafted free agent and Perine maybe 4th round?

We were in the same place this time last year and management decided that with Cousins they didn't need AP, so here we are now without Cousins and now we need AP? Doesn't say much for their expectation for Smith, does it.

Might stay that way too, its refreshing not to see diamond earings or protesting some political crap. These guys are in it for the game and I respect that.

I hoped to read some about Chris Thompson, things have been quiet about his recovery.
They used 'Gruden' and 'prowess' in the same sentence, oh well.
