skinsfan51 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Amen. Case in point, I watched a little bit of the Dallas's first game. Their offense looked sharp. Dallas has a lot of talent but I would potentially expect them to take a step backwards with a new HC. I still expect them to take a step backwards. I would just like to see the Skins take a step forward on offense for a change. Aside from Gibb's 2 second season, they all seem to be steps backwards. I chalked alot of this up to Brunell, and last season being the first season to absorb Saunders system. No more excuses, Redskins. It's time to man up. You are exactly right. And even if they aren't steps backwards, they aren't forwards, and sitting still wins few games in the NFL. I know our coaches will do all in their power to right this ship. I don't doubt that they care. I just hope it works. With all my heart I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The Chargers and Seahawk starters put up 7 points each last night. Their seasons are doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinzFoLife Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Deja vu all over again. These look like the same posts from last after the first preseason game. But the question is, who's right? The pessimist or they optimist? If our 1st string offense doesn't at least score twice in our second preseason game, than I think its time to worry. If our starting front four don't register a sack, than we need to start changing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRay Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 :applause: yeah the dallas one in 2005 with santana's 2 amazing catches? i dont think gibbs came into the game thinkin im gonna tell my players not to score untill around 2 minutes left in the game. and blocked kicks are flukes IMO and they happen more often than you think I wouldn't necessary call those fluke plays I do know where you going with this though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those should be focal points this offseason and if they can't get it done, there needs to be some answering to for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgitta Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Am I the only one that saw nice down the field, touch passes that MB hasn't thrown since 1999? A few pre-season sacks are not going to make me run for the bomb shelter. Sorry. What I didn't like, on defense, three of the newbies making all the highlights, while the vets seemed invisible. hopefully, the others will not want to be shown up and start getting meaner.

angel2 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 You have got to be a troll, RIGHT? Which team do you really root for, surely, not the Skins. What about the teams that lost over the weekend? Do you think their are threads like yours on their team's web site? Get REAL and why you are at it, GET A LIFE.

illone Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 With Portis and Moss being two players who broke franchise records in 2005, I seriously doubt the offense really sucks. Yes, Gibbs overall numbers are down in his 2nd stint, and it may be determined that hiring Saunders was a huge mistake, but with the talent we have, and continuity with the offensive coaching staff, I am fairly optimistic about the unit heading into 2007. Yes, we played like poop at times, and the line play was horrible, but our best player AND best linemen didn't play in this game. Just a hunch, but I think the O will look a little better come game one of the regular season. Just a hunch, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4skins23 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Don't know how much you can really LOOK into this first preseason game. We can make different points all day long. My thoughts are this will be a good team. Superbowl contenders? No. Do I hope so? Yes. Playoff contenders? Maybe. Its a 50/50 shot. Its gonna come down to how fast Campbell can pick up his position and our line can protect him. How many people stay healthy. etc.... The list goes on. Haven't mentioned the defense yet. Bottom line, How well will the players mesh,stay healthy, and stay motivated? Lets just do our part and root for our team. The WASHINGTON REDSKINS Just think what a great defense can do, it got the Bears to the superbowl!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedburgundyandgold Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I jumped out the window after the first drive against the titans and am posting from the hereafter to tell u the skins go 7-9 for the next forty seven years. then they get a wild card and are one and done. so move on to something else.

Statch Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I hear it is written in large, friendly letters on the cover of Al Saunders' playbook. Can I just say that is one of the funniest things I have read in a while!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrepDC Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I just think when we have had such a mediocre/losing tradition so long here we need to take advantage of any opportunity to turn that around. We are not the Colts or the Patriots. We cannot afford to sleep walk through another preseason because in the past that has led to us sleep walking into the season. JMO but we should take the preseason as an opportunity to get our players used to winning/dominating. Plus, since all the teams supposedly take the preseason so lightly we wouldn't have to work to much harder to get ahead. ...and I don't care to hear about the possibility of more injuries, because we are dropping like flies when we play these "vanilla" games.

Peregrine Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I fail to see how losing 3-0 at the half is a reason to panic(FG scored only after a 40 yard punt return and a 3 and out). Oh no, our offense looked inept! Our defense meanwhile held the titans to NOTHING. So how is being down by 3 points a reason to panic? Ever play any sports...

Our defense meanwhile held the titans to NOTHING. So how is being down by 3 points a reason to panic? Ever play any sports... I agree completely. The offense moved the ball decently (although the running game was a little rough, but we didn't have CP or much of Betts), and the D was playing with a chip on their shoulder again. Plus, everyone is picking against us and that always makes me happy. When no one picks us we tend to do a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
