The Associated Press reports the Carolina Panthers broke a franchise record for rushing yards in a game with 244 yards. RB DeShaun Foster (elbow) ran for 63 yards on nine carries during the game, but was forced to leave with an elbow injury. RB DeAngelo Williams replaced Foster and ran for 114 yards on 20 carries. RB Nick Goings and FB Brad Hoover each added 34 yards rushing during the game.

so we await another debacle ...great!...Im sure they will trot out andre carter and holdman again . So we can watch them both get manahandled and run over for at least the 7th consecutive week.

Gibbs looked pissed at the post game presser, he didn't come right out and say it but you could tell he wasn't happy with the way the D performed today. Anyone have a update on Vincent?

We also made their 24th-ranked defense look pretty good. . .


Things do not bode well in D.C. (I still believe, though!)

Principles of Redskins football... running the ball and stopping the run.

That's what stuck out at the post-game presser, Gibbs kept saying we won't win until we get back to the Principles of Redskins football. If you don't run the ball you can't really do anything off play action so you lose a big part of your playbook. If you can't stop the run the offense never gets on the field so you lose all of your playbook.

The D has to get the ball for the offense and the offense has to move the ball to spell the D. It's not happening and our record shows it.

Carter stinks. We really need to draft some young Beefy guys on our D line. Carter is more of a linebacker.

Speaking of running the ball, why wasn't Duckett used more? Why do we keep ignoring this guy? He's a big, bruising runner who averaged 5 yds/carry yesterday, and we've got him riding the bench?!?! Makes no sense at all!

I agree, I've been wondering the same thing all year, when he does play he plays well. I think he compliments Portis better than Betts, Portis is a fast, cut and dodging runner and Duckett is more of a Riggins..... just run you right over. I think they are all good and all need to be used equally and get back to Redskins football. With a QB like Campbell (appears to be) and a running game with Portis, Duckett and Betts a receiving core with Moss, Randel EL, ey, Lloyd, Thrash and Patten we "should" be unstoppable on offense.
