Are there ANY Redskins ticket holders that DESERVE them??? The number of black jerseys and yellow towels is disgusting.

Take care all.

Two weeks off to lick wounds, get well, (#22) learn how to catch ....

And it's now ...

DOUBLE DALLAS WEEK

I could be wrong but I think it was called in a game yesterday where the guy grabbed the back of the jersey.

Then it was a bad call.

True dat

Amazing, no Worthlessbooger in the 2nd half and we still couldn't get it done.

They were all sold in teh 1st 3 weeks before skins picked it up!

i know one thing that defense is ridiculous. I imagine its a lot easier if you play them more than the skins do. They looked lost against them.

chiefhog44 · Post by **chiefhog44** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 12:52 am

pathetic show of offense. D came up huge and special teams just flat out lost the game.

Man am I pissed.

Our fans suck by the way.

uuuggglllyyyy loss..

Well, overall it wasn't a great game, but not because the defense didn't try! Hopefully the team can recuperate over the bye week and start the new season in a couple weeks with a win against the 'Boys at home.

Don't think that will matter one bit when the 'Skins line up in 2 wks vs. Dullass.

hopefully, i am just grateful for the bye

And? That wouldn't have happened at RFK... REGARDLESS the record.

It seems like most 'Skins ticketholders are elderly and/or families with small kids. These folks don't come out for night games, they've got work tomorrow morning.
Compare that to the average Philthy ticketholder, who's a 20-something, well-lubricated male.

Guess which one is likely to sell tickets to a cold Monday night game??

Actually the rule changed in 2006 to include back of the jersey tackles

I think it would've been better if he'd played. Big Ben was ice cold, while Leftwich's passes were accurate and had some zip.

Based on my expectations for this season, I'll whole heartedly take a 6-3 record going into the Bye week.

true... it is disheartening though listening to the post-game, they are estimating 30,000 steelers fans... no excuse for that... this is just more proof that Danny should move the team back into the city, and make the stadium smaller, around 80,000 seats...

SCSkinsFan · Post by **SCSkinsFan** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 12:59 am

Amazing that the first comment about the game from the ESPN studio guys was about how many Steeler fans there were at Fed Ex. Geez I long for the days of RFK. That should never happen.

We're still down 17.... they'd still be winning.

I was feeling that way too. But in hind sight, this is about Jason Campbell. Yeah, yeah yeah, pressure, no time to throw, yada yada. But this offense hasn't done squat in three or four weeks.

Look at the Cowboys without Romo? Lost. The Redskins with Jason Campbell, LOST.

Campbell didn't have a good game. However there was an obvious difference in the skins sacks and the steelers sacks. Ben sat there and got sacked, Campbell got sacked as soon as the ball was snapped.

Bye, bye everyone, Hello bye week.
Coach JZ reaffirming that the missed opportunities early killed our chances.
Time to lock this thread up and go to bed.
Rest well Skins. You need it.

tribeofjudah · Post by **tribeofjudah** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 1:07 am

this game sucked..... for us FANS.

Jansen got smoked many times.
Jason sacked 7 times or more.
No pass protection.
Where was Moss?
The offense was..........OFFENSIVE

on the bright side.. our D played hard.

Game ball to Horton....but we don't deserve a ball game.
