foede Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Its strange... Before the game I told myself, if the same team over the last 4 weeks show up it might be a good game. After the first series, and how pitiful the O looked, I knew we were done for. It reminded of the offense that has been playing for about 6 years now. I also knew that as long as the defense could hold up it would be close until the last part of the 3rd and into the 4th. So the same game pattern happened as I have seen over and over with Gibbs/Williams/Saunders.... pitiful O - maybe 14 points over all. Defense holds until late 3rd - 4th and completely failed, because they have been on the darn field all game, and Williams fails to truly adjust to the game. ugh. Our. Coaches. stink.

throwback37 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 When we didn't get TD to go up 21-13. This was before fg attempt. I was nervous about outcome even with 17-13 lead but we missed that. That's exactly what we were saying.. "we NEED this TD.. 3 probably won't get it done.." then when suisham missed the FG and you could tell it elevated Seattle's play... Still, considering everything that surrounded this season, I'm proud of this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofer Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I personally knew we were in trouble when we chose to receive, I am a very strong believer in kicking off to the other team 100% of the time when you win the toss. But it doesn't work that way. The rule is: Immediately prior to the start of the second half, the captains of both teams must inform the officials of their respective choices. The loser of the original coin toss gets first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsrevival Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 When Collins arm got hit on his throw to a wide open Moss fell short. I had a feeling it wasn't our night. We could not get a break in this game other than the LL picks. Then when Cooley dropped the ball at around the 3 yard line after we set up shop on the Hawks 15 yardline I really knew it wasn't our night... Never mind the missed field goal from 30 yards... We needed a Touch down there no matter what... Cooley's drop was huge... Sad part is Seattle was trying their best to give this game away and we didn't take it... We really played like a 9-7 team Saturday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike01 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 When we came away with nothing after the turnover. The whole series, Sellers lining up wrong, Cooley not catching the ball at the 2, and the missed FG. Scoring a TD there makes it 21-13. Not only putting us up 8 but putting 21 on the scoreboard. I thought this would've motivated the team even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is when I knew we were in "trouble." We get a TD out of that turnover, the Seahawks would have had to change their game plan and we would have had the momentum, but when Suisham missed the FG, the momentum changed back to the Seahawks and the crowd got back into the game. It was over after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suze109 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I knew we were in trouble after the first series if downs .... I pretty much felt we really might lose when Cooley doesn't make that catch in the 4th ... I wanted to throw up and felt our playoff run was over when Suisham misses the FG. Although, even then, I still kept hoping and praying until the pick on the pass intended for Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom10Y Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I honestly started to get nervous when we didn't convert on the 4th and 1. I realized in the back of my head that we weren't playing as physical as the past 4 games. It was almost reminiscent of the games we've been losing. That didn't make me say game over. Just made me think, "Uh-oh..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Early in the 1st quarter. It was easy to see we didn't have that magic we've had the previous 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigSkin Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 In all honesty, I had a bad feeling when we took Dullass apart in the previous week, I can't explain it but I just had a very bad feeling we'd be flat in Seattle. When we blew the first possession I knew it wasn't gonna happen, even when we went up 14-13 I had a sense we'd capitulate again late on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk1ns Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 i knew when were in trouble when Kerney was able to throw Collins into the ground, and then throw a forearm into while already on the ground.. all while the ball had been out of TC's hand for a second :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genovgr8 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I figured the game would be a battle, Seattle is a good team. I had a bad feeling when they missed the FG to go up 17-13 but I didn't completely give up hope until Moss gave up on his route. I am not saying that the pass wouldn't have been intercepted but he would have been in position to make a tackle and stop the return for a TD. That crushed all hopes and effectively ended the game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 our first two drives... we looked flat on offense and defense. Nowhere near the defense we had against Minnesota and Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsNation Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I knew it was a wrap when we couldnt capitalize on that botched Kickoff where Mix recovered inside the Seattle 20yd line. No Fg, No TD...no nothing. That was our chance to drive a stake thru their heart but we failed to do anything. I knew it was a wrap right there.....our momentum was erased...and they had it for good.

Veretax Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 When we went Three and out on the first two possessions or pretty close When we went for it on 4th and whatever to try and get a score before half and couldn't get that short yardage. When Collins through that first Pick-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well to me the game was a matter of momentum. Seattle had all the momentum to begin with going up 13-0, then suddenly our team woke up and found ourselves up 14-13, and had just recovered our own kickoff.... If Cooley comes down with that catch, it is 1st and goal at about the 1 yard line, and it is very likely we punch it in for six....... Even making the field goal and going up 17-13 would have been acceptable because then we are kicking off again, rather then giving Seattle the ball at midfield...... Basically in the matter of one set of downs, momentum had switched back to the seahawks and the Redskins never got it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabee1973 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I knew we were in trouble when the defense ran off the field with their tail between their legs and said Gee coach whjat was that play we didnt prepare at all for it this week why cant our offense line up with four wide and run the ball?

drone007 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 when i saw collins and sellers yelling at each other at the line I knew we were ****ed. they got their dicks knocked in on saturday. they only played one half of football and I still think we could've beaten seattle.

buenosdiaz Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 well...the first time was obviously the missed fg, but Landry gave me hope on that pick when i KNEW we were in trouble I guess was the false start after the pick that backed us up cuz then I knew Seattle would get it basically in FG range, but even after the TD there was still hope the pick 6 to go up 14 really put a fork in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 What the hell happened to our quick hitters across the middle, our pitches and end arounds, our draw plays? You know, all those terrific aggressive plays that won us the last 4 games? Nope, as soon as we started GUT, GUT, SIDELINE, PUNT I know we were through. Going into the game everyone knew you have to pound Seattle's defense up the middle and go play-action. They're not big upfront, but they are fast. They took away everything outside the tackles. The Skins did run some draws and they didn't work. They kept throwing flanker screens that didn't work. They tried an end around and it went for whopping 2 yrds.
