After losing a heart breaker of a game to the Bucs.You can't deny that Ladell Betts played is heart out and the T.D. kick off run was great.The skins should have won the game and with two minutes to go and facing a third and two maybe a pass play or giving it to Betts would have been a better answer.We should have made the first down and ran the clock out. I can tell you that giving the ball right back to the Bucs was not the answer.I think that this was a big lose for the Skins and it hurt us in the playoff hunt. I get so frustrated when we can't put a team away at the end of the game.I hope they cut Walt Harris next year missing tackles and giving up T.d.s

I knew it all along. Our weakness would be WHarris on defense. We don't have two starting corners at the moment, and that's what's losing us games.
CRodgers has to step up his game and prove he's worth a high 1st round pick. CRodgers has to start and play consistenly.

I agree....Way to Go Ladell !! Wish the outcome were better for the team.

This is the kind of game that can divide the locker room. I hope that doesn't happen.

Hogster - There wasn't one part of the team that didn't have a hand in this L. No one came lay the blame on any one facet of the team. It was ours to put away, even after the early giveaways, and we didn't do it. This team will not divide itself. All they can do is keep on pulling together and start planning to get a W against the Raiders back home next week,

Good Job Ladell Betts. Good return, a nice catch, and he does a great job when in place of Portis.

Couldn't ask for more out of your second string running back.

Yes Ladell did good, but what about Clinton. He seriously balled up today.

Actually I think today might have been his most dominating game in a Skins uniform. I mean he almost avg. 10 yards per carry for the 1st half!!!

He carried the team on his shoulders the first half, but turnovers killed us.

I think Ladell's performance indicates that the team as a whole is buying into the "team "mentality". Guys are stepping up at different times. Anyone see Koslowski get some play? If he were any faster, he could have had two (2) huge catches.

It's great to see Ladell come into his own on this team. He got a shot, and he made the most of it.

not only was it a nice return, but it came at a crucial point in the game. with the bucs just scoring, if we went three and out, the momentum shift would have killed us. instead, we got back in the game, and i think it inspired the rally.

Betts earned my Redskins Special Teams player of the game. Congrats on a good game Ladell.
