NoCalMike Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I just think after seeing the performance of the team today, that winning ugly is how it is going to be for awhile. We have the pieces, now they need to gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePreciating Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 GREAT thread. I think we're gonna see ugly wins for a little, but I'm ok with that. These two dudes in front of me at the game decked out in FULL skins gear were TRASHING Campbell the whole time. Finally I said HEY, this is our QUARTERBACK of the FUTURE, have some respect! I couldn't believe the hate. But yeah, JC had a rough game at times. I think that'll happen a lot this season. But we did good things today, like let Fred Smoot get some practice against a great receiver (even though it could have cost us the game). Expect wins, but expect them to be ugly.

kevin11 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ithink Campbell bounces back and has a good game. I have a feeling Gibbs will also trust Portis a little more so he gets the ball around 20 times. We can run against this team and then it will be all over.

cmorina69 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I think campbell will bounce back, i think he just had a rough game. CP will also get more carries, 17 is not that many im thinking lik 25ish next game. Over all it was not a pretty game but a win is a win is a win.

#98QBKiller Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Good thread, I definitely agree. Things will come together, the Philly game could be extra ugly though, I don't care as long as we pull out the W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I don't know if my heart can take more games like today. ...I love football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Shot Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 You are right. Until our offense finds the G spot, it'll be up to our defense to keep us in it. The offense will finally get it though, they did last year. I just hope it's sooner....preferably in the next couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Judging from the way the Eagirls played GB, next week's game is entirely winnable. Second game of the season, on Monday Night Football, in a rival team's stadium; ring any bells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGift Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Tried telling that to people in the 3-0 = 6-0? Thread.... Some agreed But I got some "CMON Cardinals, Lions and Packers? They suck." responses.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testrake Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I agree that we will win a lot of games ugly this year. What I don't totally agree with is that JC had a bad game. The first int. was his fault but the second was something that had to be thrown. One on one coverage deep. You have to throw that one to the edge and trust that your guy will make the play or the ball will get knocked out of bounds. He put the ball in the right place the db just wanted it more. He threw some unbelievable passes right on the money and in stride and by the way deep. He had a bunch of drops on passes that nfl receivers should catch. JC managed the game well, which for a young qb I would rather see than highlight reel plays. After the first series he looked calm and in control.

armada58 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 A win is a win is a win. There was some good stuff today and there was some bad stuff today. In the end, we won. And in the end, that's all we should care about. Campbell win continue to get better. So he had a bad game, so what. He made a few critical throws today and we would not have won if he didn't make those plays. The defense is MUCH better. There's still some areas of concern, but we would have lost this game last year. I'll take 16 straight ugly wins. A win is a win!!! We're 1-0 baby!!!

[[ghost]] Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 This was Kendall's first time playing for 10+ minutes with anybody from our line last year. and he didn't do too bad. Imagine Portis against Ds that aren't nearly as talented as the Fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkowi Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ill take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day, any season. but i agree with you btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 It is an oft-quoted slogan that first you win and THEN you become good The team has to grow together and develop an identity with Campbell as the leader for the Redskins to climb to the next level. Close wins like today where the defense and running game help a young quarterback get grounded in the NFL is to be expected if the Redskins are to get to that next level.

WR5012 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I don't think we will be blowing anyone out this season. I can see the majority of the games being close fought battles. Defense has shown alot of promise. I'll take any win we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinpride1 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 a lot of work to do to get the gel going! I like the portis/betts duo and it will be good to keep the backs fresh so we can run the ball in the fourth quarter. Good way to keep the high powered offenses off the field and we can sneak some wins over some better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We've been playing ugly games for two years now. The difference is we finally have a kicker that can win us those ugly games. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkipJackSkin Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Yepp I agree-today was ugly, but a WIN none the less. The D stepped it up most of the time. Showed definite improvement. Portis was okay...had some good breaks. Our WRs need to learn to catch the ball. I'll admit they had some nice ones but they missed some gimmes. I was stressed out the ENTIRE game until I saw he ball sail through the goal posts. I hope the Philly game is different. But still a win. HAIL.

thecardiacrll Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 i just dont understand some other threads that are so peesamistic i mean did these people really think jc would come out and have a peyton manning performance come on..i mean the dolphins arent gonna be as bad as people think and if they beat dallas next week alot of people are gonna feel better about this win....also the eagles got beat by the packers the dolphins>packers so what the eagles suck now there out of it and mcnabb stinks cause he had a bad game...this is the first game all our offense played together let um gel and if we win ugly hey this is the nfl unless you are the patriots or colts ur usuall in a dogfight last second game.....HAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddub52 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I agree it was kind of ugly, but we did have 400 yards of total offense... not too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexey Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We are not just trying to establish the run, we are trying to establish the style. We seemed in control, we gave ourselves multiple chances to win, and took one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Edds Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 we did manage to rush for a combined 171 yards on the #4 ranked defense in the league. Plus they added Joey Porter, a pro-bowl caliber LB'er so they are evn mnore stouhgt than they are getting credit for. It was hard fought, and both teams were rusty, but we pulled it out. Huge confidence builder. Suisham needs to keep kicking like he did today and we will win a lot of the close games we lost in the past. Portis and Betts combo should wear out most defenses by the 4th quarter. Now we finally have real game tape to analyze and improve our chances next week. I sure am glad that we got Kendal, cuz now we have Heyer and Wade for depth at Tackle. I feel bad for Jansen, but the game must go on. HTTR!

HailGreen28 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ugly? The last drive of the game, the Skins ran it down their throats and kicked the winning FG. It was BEAUTIFUL. The rest of the game, well, we're still trying to build a good team here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
