Am I the only person in the world that heard about the crazy wind in that game? Akers missed a field goal short, Hall had one pulled right. Passes were being pushed sideways, cats and dogs living together ... Atomic powered monsters, people!
I got your number. I steal your thunder. I got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm.

One thing about Ramsey being in the new offense is that it takes time for a QB to have the location of his recievers on each play ingrained to a level where he just knows by instinct. It was like they were saying about McNabb knowing where Westbrook was when he threw the hitch straight to his left without even thinking. The more a QB plays in a system the better he will get and the better his reads will be. This is probably another big reason that we throw so many short passes. It takes time for the QB to go out there and just make plays instead of overthinking and forcing the ball. So far Ramsey's been progressing well but every now and then he gets a little lost. Nobody can watch multiple recievers at the same time. It is a biological fact that our eyes can only focus on a very small area but they move around rapidly and our brain fills everything in so you think you see a lot more. You have to know where your recievers are going to be in order to see the whole field.

I thought the o-line last night played decent so you can't blame them. That interception last night was inexcusable. I could understand it if the ball bounce off one of our receivers and a defender caught it.
I'll hold off on my draft wishes for next year until this season ends. I may feel better about Ramsey if he leads us to a win over Dallas.
Ok, I get it, you don't like Ramsey, or at least, you don't think he is the answer for the Redskins. But, he was a first round draft pick (was it 4th overall?). He has a very strong arm (he was the top HS javelin trower in 1997). He is a smart kid.
Does he have lot to learn? Of course! Do people who are learning make mistakes? Certainly.
He has been a gunslinger his entire football life, and Gibbs is asking him to play from a different philosophy. Let's see how he progresses for a little while before we ditch him. I mean, shoudn't he at least get as long a chance as Brunell to prove himself?
Ramsey was the 32nd pick in the 1st round
Yes he has a lot to learn and he will...On that last throw... he learned that from Brunell (he was trying to throw it out of the back of the endzone but under threw it)
The progress he has made from game 2 against the Gints to where he is now should give all of hope for the future

No GF, you weren't the only one. I blame Akers miss on the wind. Halls leg just isn't there quite yet. I'm also sure the wind played somewhat of a factor on the QBs although not as big of one as for the kickers obviously
