What preseason game was more disastrous for the Redskins? Tonight's blowout loss to NE, or the win in the Hall of Fame Game over Denver 2 years ago when Jansen tore his achilles?
How is one thing even remotely related to the other?? Both games were bad for very different reasons. Clearly Jansen's injury was terrible for the team, no one would even argue about that. But coming out and playing with no intensity and not ebing able to execute the most fundamental basics is pretty bad also. It says something about your team when you get beat 41-0, preseason or not.
I'm just illustrating the point that I'd much rather get blown out then win the game and have a key guy get hurt?
It doesn't sound like any key players got hurt tonight, so let's just all move on.

Well, Riggins has been bad-mouthing 'em all night. YOU tell him he's kicked off the bandwagon.
then he needs to get off to......ive been here since i was 5 and i may not like some of what has gone on over all those years but i have yet to ever bad mouth this team... even when Spurrier was here..!!!!!!!!!

Equal, for different reasons. The HoF game had a horrendous injury, but it was one in which guys competed for their 1-on-1 assignments and put up a decent level of fight.
This one is just a total lack of fundamentals and desire to compete.
I respect your opinions but I have to say I don't agree with this whatsoever.
Losing Jansen was way more disastrous than this game in my mind. It's not even close.

Just out of curiousity, I looked up Pittsburgh's preseason record last year, and they were 3-1, so obviously actually trying in preseason isn't a bad thing. Of course, they're 0-3 this year, so they're probably saying "It's only preseason, it's only preseason, . . ." right now too!!

I don't think Riggo has sugarcoated anything in his life. He's just speaking his mind.

IMO the preseason record doesn't matter whatsoever. I could care less if we went 0-4 so long as the team played with some intensity, looked like it was improving, and was capable of executing fundamentals. So far this preseason we haven't been able to do any of those things. If anything, we are getting worse.

Well congratulations to you.
dude 1/2 way thru this season ... u will be my biatch...

Why do you think Belichik hates Gibbs? What'd Gibbs ever do to him? Bill B. is just playing this like a real game - play to win. I doubt it's anything personal. Those coaches have no history between them that I know about. Have they even faced each other before?
I think he hates Gibbs because he just ran up the score! Brady audibled AT LEAST 15 TIMES.......Its just preseason! He called for stunt after stunt, after blitz after stunt..........Dayum! He really wanted to win this game! Let him have this victory! Hopefully we'll face him in the regular season the next time!!!!!!!

That's because the Pats played to win the game and we didn't. So what if they called audibles and ran stunts?? The point of the preseason is to get ready for the regular season. Bellichek is just playing the game like he would during the regular season and there is nothing wrong with that. If our team can't handle it that's our problem, not there's.

Don't teams audible during the regular season? I see nothing wrong with practicing it. Not every coach tries to tank preseason games. Maybe Belichik just thinks the best way to practice for real games is to play this like it's a real game. Brady looked sharp as heck, too. Nothing wrong with playing well.

Calling audibles is 1 thing. Calling time out in the last minute & then calling a safety blitz is another.

I'm sorry but that's just rediculous. So you think that Moss and Lloyd purposely dropped balls?? You think that Wright was just playing possum when he was getting beat by the Pats' no name receivers? And I'm sure the defense decided to play possum and give up 41 points just for the heck of it.

Sorry for that last post! Skinscanes......you left youself wide open for that one! To everyone else..........As Mike Sellers said, "We ran just 2% of our offense". They ran probably half of their playbook". Relax! Drink a few! Hey! We got the Ravens offense next Thursday! They Suck! I can't wait! Okay........one more shot and I'm done for tonight!
I will tell you though, I would like to see them do something else. They say that the 3rd game is the game where you guage where your 1st stringers are at. I only rate what I see and I see us sucking right now. Until I see different, then I will change my opinion.
