You mean the find a way to blame this on Campbell thread?

Countertrey · Post by **Countertrey** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 5:55 pm

Landry... needs to be moved to SS.

Zorn... Needs Time Out calls removed along with his playcalling duties. Icing kickers is stupid... and, often ends up in something worse, especially when playing against a REAL head coach. In this case, it turned a moderately difficult kick into an easy one. Brilliant.

Swishy... Needs to kick for Dallas.

Campbell... Decent QB... still hasn't found "it"... I think he was lying about his dragon.

This was on 2 obvious names, but all in all I'm impressed by todays performance.

tribeofjudah - No, I'm definitely not a Skins fan. I did pick them to win this game, however. Just when you think the Skins had killed their fans enough with their inventive ways of losing games, this one happens.

Unbelievable. It really is.

I can't take this &%$#....we dominated that game. Fluke ass plays all over the place, punt shanked and hits our guy. Kareem Moore turnover, Sellers was down, missed FG to win the game. Then, how many weeks in a row am I going to watch this secondary get toasted on double moves? I feel bad for the players, they played their hearts out and outplayed one of the best teams in football today. 3 weeks in a row against playoff opponents and I think we could've won all 3 games.

I don't care what the scoreboard says, we won that one. I'm sure we'll get an apology from the league office about the officiating in this one. Both calls were blown ones by the the Zebras which cost us......That, Swishy and LL need to take a seat next week.

So what can you say now?????????
They found another way to lose the game? It's a conspiracy to make all Skins fans miserable. Yeah, that's it.
I'm going to find the pain relief (again)!

SkinsJock · Post by **SkinsJock** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 5:58 pm

WHEW - for a while there it looked like we would beat a truly good team :shock:

I'm not sure that would have been a good thing - we are not a good team, we are a bad team and we do not need anybody getting any false hopes

WE NEED MAJOR CHANGES HERE so we can finish games like this off

the Three Stooges lost the Skins this game...

Campbell, Landry, and Suisham...

JC had a great game, but with the game on the line, makes another terrible turnover... Landry is so worried about laying big hits on people, that 1/4 of the time he misses the player all together, and another 1/4 of the time he bite on the smallest of pump-fakes... Suisham, well, Suisham is Suisham, and that is a completely unreliable kicker...

I actually think the Sellers play should've been ruled incomplete.

In the close-up angle from his right side, it appears to me that he never even brought the ball in, which is why it came loose so easily on the hit. What a wild game, but I thought that play should've been ruled incomplete pass and 3rd and short for the Skins.

I don't know what to say...

Countertrey · Post by **Countertrey** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 6:03 pm

Campbell gets decent protection today. The 3 step drops helped a lot, I think. However, anyone could see that "fumble" by Sellars was close... it was time for him to go no huddle, call the play at the line, and go for it. He was the ONLY one who could do that at that point. This is poor game awareness, and cannot, I think, be cured. The ultimate outcome would likely have been the same, but at least we would have kept the ball.

Irn-Bru · Post by **Irn-Bru** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 6:03 pm

That was the unluckiest game I can recall. In the end we have ourselves to blame (Suisham obviously, Landry for the big-time chokes, several others), but I can't recall that many bad bounces hitting our team in any other game I've ever watched.

For New Orleans, nothing could go wrong. It's tough to win a game when that happens for your opponent.

But the Skins showed real heart and fight. We really did deserve to win this one. It was a heartbreaker, but at the very least I much prefer this kind of loss to the snoozefests from earlier this season.

Oh well. It's just been that kind of year. HTTR

I know... which is all the more reason he should be there again...

anyone who thinks losing todays game is Jason Campbells fault is stupid........

The only reason todays game was as close as it was was because Campbell had time and played great......
dudes gonna be our qb next year too so get over it!

mastdark81 · Post by **mastdark81** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 6:05 pm

Offense done enough to win the game, gotta say this one was destined....I almost never seen so many flukish plays ever.

Nice game by Devin Thomas, Offensive Lineman, and Jason Campbell.

Defense stuffed the run, however they never blitzed and gave Brees too much time to get rid of the ball in the 4th quarter.

Also seemed like we lost every critical call, not saying it was the correct call or not but like i said seemed like they was destined to win this game.

One of the magical things that happens to a team of "destiny" (the Saints sure look like one) is games like this... The same kind of things have happened for the 'skins, in the past.

I do believe that the 'skins are a lot closer than they have shown... but a game like this COULD break their spirit... I sure hope not... but this must break their hearts.

Good teams find ways to win and ...

... bad teams are, well, bad teams. :cry:

The Interception and the failed FG killed us. Jason's flaws are Jason's flaws even in one of his best days out there. Inaccurate, slow and weak when crunch time comes.

A win was too good to be true. But I am happy with the effort. In another life, this loss would have hurt. Now, I am used to see the loses pile up.

They are fighting with spirit. No quitting here. I will give them that.

SkinsJock · Post by **SkinsJock** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 6:08 pm

You're right FFA - great to see some of our guys playing like that and almost pulling off a huge upset - tough loss but much better effort from nearly everyone

I'm sorry, but Suisham is not and never has been a really good kicker in my view

looks like we'll have a new kicker as well as a new HC and QB next year - hopefully a new guy running things as well :wink:

He didn't get much of a chance with us, but I can't recall any blunders from him. There's no excuse. If you can't make an extra-point-distance field goal to ice the game for your team, you should be kicking rocks, not footballs. Ocho Cinco makes that kick.
