2006Skins Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 That's a quote from Bram right after the clock hit 00:00 While I am not too happy with much of the playcalling, on both the offense and defensive side of the ball, I am happy with how the players came back and showed heart and kept at it. I am not saying this is a moral victory; far from it. Moral victories are for teams that are 2-14 and play a 14-2 team close. This is not a 2-14 team. I honestly believe this is a 10-6 team. I know we're 5-5 now with a tough schedule. But lets look in hindsight on this game. We were missing our #2 corner, MW at 65% who was hobbling the entire 2nd half, gave 21 points away in the 2nd half and our Defensive MVP was out. This was a game in which I feel we should've won. Which is amazing if you think about it. Now lets go over all the accomplishments: Santana is back (finally) Campbell is the beast we were all hoping. Despite the one stupid (I cannot emphasize that enough) throw, he had a hell of a day even with pressure in his face most of the game. Our LB's continuously show us that they are beasts. I don't see how they could tell that Rocky's pick hit the ground (beyond a reasonable doubt). I think we're on pace for a helluva run if we get some of the guys back including ST, Thomas, MW gets healthy and the receivers can get healthy. I am proud of being a skins fan and I am looking forward to this team getting better week by week. HTTR :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Skins Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 he can say as much as he wants, but what is he calling this....moral victory. I am not calling this a moral victory. Read my original post again. This is not a moral victory. This is a game where vast improvement was made in the areas which were needed most: QB and WR (in Santana and Keenan stepped up). I am happy with the improvement I have seen, especially considering that Campbell has done awful on the road this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljeasel Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 This shows you we can ball with anything in the NFC 5 to stay alive in 05 5 to stay alive in 07 why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say you saw improvement this week, which there seems to be, but if you been watching this team for the last couple of years, every week we take a step up, we take one back. After Campbell was NFC player of the week against detriot, we lost to GB. What I want to see most from this team is being consistantly good or consistantly improving...

armada58 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Todays loss makes the choke job against Philly even more devastating. While the play of Campbell has me completely psyched, we now can afford only ONE more loss the rest of the season or we're golfin in January.

It's just too bad he had to make that bad throw. Here's to the next time the teams meet ST knocking around TO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbomb Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I figured one idiot would chime in and I was right. The Skins were up a few points at the half time and I told my wife they'd lose 42- whatever they had at the time. The Skins did good, it sucks that we lost AGAIN but were you really thinking we would. I think they played great! How luckyis TO?

hoskins Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Not a damn thing! Well, it wasn't playcalling per se, but they shouldn't go for 50 yard kicks with Suisham that early in the game on a 4th and 1. That was dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvin Bryant Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yep, we were just outstanding. Way above any reasonable expectation. Of course, we did give up yet another halftime lead to a division rival, lose the game, fall to 5 and 5, and further dim any remaining hopes for the playoffs. But you know, they looked pretty good. There was once a very different team that wore those uniforms. That team was *better* in the second half, consistently won the close games, the crucial games, and carved its name in the record books. They found ways to win, and they improved as the year wore on. By the time December and the playoffs rolled around, they were lethal. This team isn't like that. And we've all become used to it over the years. When the Redskins give up 3 late touchdowns to lose at Dallas - but don't completely embarrass themselves in the process - most of us are reasonably satisfied.

Brotherz Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Better game today in a loss than in the Jets win. Yet ironically the Jets win is going further toward our playoff hopes (wish are all but dashed incidentally) than our style points that so many ES'ers are happy about. I think its sad that we are all happy we don't have to go to work/school/whatever to face puke fans after a blowout. We are literally just happy to have been competitive with the pukes. I'm sorry but I'll never be happy with losing to them. i don't care how pretty this player or that player played. This isnt figure skating. You don't get style points and there are no judges. Score more points than the other team. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a sad commentary on how this team's pitiful performance for a decade and a half have lowered our expectations. i see people left and right applauding our losing to the cowboys because they didn't spank and embarrass us.

Combatant Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 not going for it on 4th and 1 inside their 30. And if they didn't make it, it would be horrible play calling then too. Gibbs is damn if he does, damned if he don't. He took the points and we had a shot in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
