RedskinsOP Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 As many people seem to think, John Hall's whiffed field goal 'cost us' the game. This cannot be further from the truth. We shouldn't have been in the position to bring him in in the first place. And just to see the human side of this, he is a person, like you or me. Do any of you remember Dan Turk? He was the man who yanked the field goal in our playoff run of 1999. My friend, Tre Johnson (who happens to teach history at my school/coach football), told me that everyone, the fans, his teammates, etc, started hating him. The man played 16 years in the NFL only to be defined by one play. He never even got the chance to redeem himself, as he died of cancer only six months later. The moral of this story is we were outplayed by the better team. Our defense deserves as much kudos as possible, and our offense gets some for their valiant effort in the second half. We had a heck of a season -- let's not ruin it with these 'what if' and '_____ must go' threads. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 i agree. as fans we like to blame certain players, but it really takes 11 guys to make a play work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSJHWT Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 It did not cost us the game, and I still like Hall, but a 36 frikin yard FG? He's GOT to make those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCav06 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I'm not blaming Hall for the loss but Hall, not the 11 players, missed the field goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRedskinsFan Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 You're right. It was Carlos Rodgers dropping an easy 6 points that cost us the game. Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadets08 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Although this is 100% true, it isn't appropriate at this time. Any skins fan is obviously upset, so to lash out at one person is only natural in the healing process. We just gotta ride these accusations out.

Marco Chacon Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 John Hall is a good kicker (he is not Chip but still good anough)...don´t blame him for a offense that didn´t work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 As I mentioned in another thread, it was a game of missed opportunities. Hall's miss was just one of many. Gibbs missed one by not challenging a spot (which would have made it fourth and one) on the Seagulls first TD drive. Moss, although CLEARLY interfered with, should probably have caught the ball there at the end. Not converting turnovers in Seattle territory into TD's was costly as well. It was a game we had to play almost flawlessly to win and we played anything but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg28daman Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 If it were just the feild goal that he missed, I could live with that. But constintly setting the team up with great feild position with weak kickoffs did as much to lose this game as the feild goal did. Hall is being paid a LOT of money to be average...

TXSkinsChick Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hall shoulda made that field goal....but it wasn't just him that cost us the game...there were plenty of mistakes that shouldn't have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam21 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Blame whoever you want! You're a fan, and you're entitled to your opinion. These guys don't read this and even if they do, they're big boys. They can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Team lost today.....the Hall miss was huge. Gotta hit from 36 yds and make better KO's. But the Team lost today.....not Jon Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englitdaudelin Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 How 'bout not blaming anyone-- the O-line of the Seahawks was just good enough tonight to open up lanes for Morris and Strong. We played a heck of a game, and yes, John Hall should have made that kick, and yes, Santana Moss probably should have caught the ball-- but we could "coulda, shoulda, woulda" all night long about half the plays in the game. They don't all work out. Seattle got what it could, we didn't. Nice job to them; nice job to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
