Official THN Gameday Thread: WAS vs NE

[skinsfanno9]

Wow, great coverage to down it on the one!

EDIT: Oh wait, nevermind. The coverage team lost sight of the ball in the air and just stood around instead.

[JPM36]

If we still can't do anything when we are calling our real plays, I'll be concerned.

Until then, I consider this a bad practice.

Riggins, who probably knows Gibbs better than any of us, isn't sounding positive about any of this. He even suggested we could be looking at 1-4 to start the season (at least he thinks we can still beat the Texans!!!).

When I come home after watching the Redskins beat the Vikings by 2 TDs on MNF, I want to see a thread called "JPM36 you were absolutely right"


That's all I ask.

I don't consider Minnesota to be a very good team. They just lost their first round pick for the season, and their #1 WR just got cut. Plus, their QB is older than ours!! The Vikings are one of those teams we should beat, no question.

While I hate them, I think the Cowboys have some talent this year (now I feel dirty having typed that). When we beat them, then you'll have been absolutely right.

I'm worried about the Cowboys game, don't get me wrong. But our preseason performance has nothing to do with that. If we were killing teams every week of the preseason, I'd still be worried about any trip to Dallas. That's always going to be a tough game.

You raised my eyebrow for a second. Care if I translate? He thinks we may lose to the Pukes.

[yupchagee]

I missed the most of the 1st Q. Did Lonie punt as poorly as Frost?

[Mursilis]

Sounds Like Campbell Is Making A Go...

Could Gibbs Have It Up His Sleeve To Start Jason?

Barring an injury to Brunell, no chance in . . . that hot place.

Gibbs likes veteran QBs. That's the end of it.

Your reading skills need work. I said when, not if.

[Redskin in Canada]

Ouch! But it does not really hurt because it is not for real.

We have had good preseasons and awful seasons before. Let us see the opposite happens this time.

I expected INTENSITY and we got it...


... from the Pats.

[Redskins Rule]

we just got our first passing first down on third down!!!!

I'M DRINKING EVEN MORE NOW! IT HELPS MY TEAM TOO APPRARENTLY!!!!

We expect you to drink heavily all season. We're all counting on you.

Come on, man...you can do it.

Think I'll have another, too.

After that punt its Everclear now!

Anyone have any moonshine to spare. I'll take it striaght!

"You raised my eyebrow for a second. Care if I translate? He thinks we may lose to the Pukes."





Well We Don't Exactly Look Like Killers Out There. While pukes have looked um...Well they've won some preseason. Gibbs has got to be livid.

Ah yes....Everclear. Brings back memories. Sorry, I've cut back..only drink 80 proof now.

Gotta love our tackling! Go Skins!

From Saunders himself....

"We know what the scheme is and we know what we can do schematically," said Saunders, whose offense was ranked among the AFC's best the past five years in Kansas City. "I don't want to go into a preseason game and rely on a system or a scheme to be successful, because then you're fooling yourself. What I want to see from our players is, who can block mano a mano ? Who can win one-on-one in pass routes? Can the quarterback throw the ball accurately under pressure. Can the runner make a guy miss in the open field?

"What we're doing is very basic football, but it's important football, because every one of our players, especially the offensive line, has to be so sound fundamentally that we can move on and expand what we do from a schematic standpoint."

34-0....This is beyond pathetic.

Maybe the Orioles won tonight? Just kidding

[Mursilis]

Well, some guy (Pat Cobbs) who may not even make NE's team has now run for more yards than all our RBs combined. And NE's back-up QB has just as many yards as our starter, w/ less than half the number of attempts.

But I'm not worried.

[yupchagee]

Is it just me or have we looked worse every game?

[RedskinsFreak]

But I'm not worried.

[Redskin in Canada]

Nice avatar. Do you want to get another one?

[RedskinsFreak]

I believe so, which goes against the other thing I look for in preseason -- gradual improvement from game to game.

[Mursilis]

But I'm not worried.

Why would I do that?
