Even Norman Einstein can see the sun setting fast on a team that runs up those negative numbers in a half.

Oh, ey. Sooooo close.

Ramsey is getting better at making those little slide steps, just enough to avoid the initial rush and give himself that extra count to throw.

ey finally dropped one
But did you see Ramsey "feel" the pressure and step up

well, you can't bitch at ey too much, he catches everything else thrown his way

Crap!

Wow. When Akers and Hall both miss FG's, you know something odd is happening.
Let's see who gets hurt the most by it.

wish Gibbs woulda went for it with Hall still being obviously hurt.

Oh... My... God... Can't... Breathe...

Hey guys, just swinging by at the Half, over on Concretefield the mood is pretty much the same, both teams aren't playing well. Kind of a mess. How about the announcing? Bleh. Well, anyways, have a nice half.

It's halftime.
What do we have to do here to win ?
My take is, we need to score more points than the Eagles to win.
Sorry. I just wanted to head off the usual crap that comes at halftime.
Go pee, or whatever.

Did you see how open CLINTON was on the ey drop play? he coulda scored

Just need to keep that amped-up defense going on this first possession of the second half.

cp wide open

can you guys tell how Theisman is pullin for the Skins?

yeah, he's been a bit more homerish since Gibbs came back. It's pretty funny, cause he's always talked smack about the Skins, but now that Gibbs is back, he usually stays away from writing articles about the Skins lol. In the ESPN picks, a lot of times he skips the Skins pick too hahaha

That's okay. This is an exceptionally weird game. I wonder if Reid keeps everybody in ?
You have to love how we're containing (ahem) TO, if there's any such thing as containing him.
All I hope is, we don't let this one get away from us with the penalties. If we lose, I want to lose because the Eagles outplayed us, not because we shot ourselves in the foot.

It's always the refs or penalties that kill us. Hopefully we'll come out in the 2nd half and play some smart football. What the hell was McCants thinking when he tackled that dude? It ruined a perfect run by Portis.

I agree TC, but how many games have the refs already cost us this season. Some of these penalties are us, but some are the zebras too. Eagles got a free 7 points from one of them. I just hope that we are that much better than the first 8 or 10 games, that we can overcome it. Mission accomplished so far....

Patrick sure is looking good again. He's moving really well. Gibbs needs to go downfield a bit though. Like Joey T said, the zebras are gonna call PI more often than not, so you may as well put it down there and give them the ability to do so....

Just checking in. Great start to the first half.
The D is kicking butt, but the refs are, as usual, screwing us. I can't believe ey picked a sure TD to drop his first pass of the season. I'll be back when we win. After Joe's halftime adjustments. The weekend went increadibly well for us so far. Let's keep it rolling.
PS - I absolutely love my HD TV.

Imagine if we had Barrow and Arrington ?

Spot was horrible

The first half was very much like the first game. I would expect the result be the same as well.

of course you would, just remember to say great game after we beat you this time...
