The Random Thought Thread (Stadium Edition)

I guess they are counting on a pick-6 from CB again

LOL. Run for your life.

[skinsaddict]

why would any of the players care about ticketgate?

the line is moving because more people are betting on the jags.

Ticketgate is all they are talking about with this game.

A few weeks ago.....the Giants were supposed to walk all over Chicago.

Then the Plaxico incident happened, and they walked right into a buzzsaw.

Many are predicting the same thing tonight.

Ah thanks but I meant the booking sites.

I'm hesitant to dive into one that I don't know is reliable because I have heard of alot of problems about getting your winnings.

[McD5]

Maybe it has something to do with Portis, Rogers, Haynesworth, and Fletcher not playing?

Nah. The line was 3 pts until two days ago.

Most teams don't play starters for more than a few series in the fourth game. Everyone knew we weren't playing starters tonight 5 years ago.

This is ticketgate related.

I think they are all about the same.

Any of the bigger named ones.

[DCskinFAN]

If his name was Sinorice Smith, would you have posted this question?

def not!!!

[SIXX99]

The only reason we are even having a discussion about signing him is because he is Santana's little brother, it is not because of his play or what he brings to the team. Santana is a great player, Sinorice not so much.

[CPAllTheWay012]

I say yes. If he can be anything like Santana I'd want him. He was having a very good camp until he got injured before the preseason games, so it'll be unfortunate if he gets cut. He's definitely got top speed and quickness.

In the case of the Giants game....the players spent all week with microphones in their faces, being asked about Plaxico and his court hearing. Instead of focusing on the game.

I haven't seen that with any Skins players.

But certainly it would qualify as a pretty big, poorly-timed distraction to some levels of the franchise.

No care about the final score.....road game.....heat with the franchise all over the paper and airwaves.....not wanting to get anyone injured, often times leads to laying an egg.

That is what Vegas is seeing in way of betting.

Only time will tell. But interesting.

Probably because the redskins aren't going to play their starters for more than one series while the jags starters will be playing a lot.

Well, unless those tickets that are causing such a ruckus can tackle, catch, pass or kick I don't see how it has any influence on the players and causing a distraction.

[HoyaSkins28]

Why? Marko Mitchell is better than him anyway

[HoyaSkins28]

I say yes. If he can be anything like Santana I'd want him. He was having a very good camp until he got injured before the preseason games, so it'll be unfortunate if he gets cut. He's definitely got top speed and quickness.

He's injured every other second.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

If a WR-starved team like New York is cutting a veteran WR, I'm staying away. That would be like people lining up to sign our OL cuts.

That would certainly seem to be the case....but it wasn't like Plax was going to play right after the court date.

Big distraction, nothing more. That's all. That is what the line is saying.

Like right this second....do you believe Dan is thinking about the final score....or about a pr nightmare? Prob a pr nightmare.

Now...just as long as the coaches and players are focused, the negative effects should be tempered.

exactly. I would wager money the players dont even know about this "scandal"

are you for real? you really think the players know/care?

[santana_4_prez]

Oh man, come Saturday, there are gonna be a couple dozen of these "should we" threads!

[SWFLSkins]

Why?

I mean is it just because the Skins employ his brother? I see no other reason, is he an upgrade to what the Redskins already have?

No Moss for you.

[FanboyOf91]

Jags backup QBs: Todd Bouman (37 years old, last played in 2005), Todd Boeckman.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Better to be on a Saturday than during work hours.

[SellersHappens]

Guys, didn'y you see the broadcast of the Pats game? We were dominated in the Moss yards category!

Only by signing Sinorice Moss can we recover.

[McD5]

are you for real? you really think the players know/care?

Do I think that 90% of the players on the team are aware that the Skins are being dragged through the mud in the local paper, radio stations and some websites?

Of course. 100%. You don't?

Do they care? I hope not. I hope it isn't a big distraction.

The chance that players are taking mental breaks from tonight's plan, to check the internet for any updates....certainly seems possible. And hence, the line movement since the story broke.

It's human nature.

You already answered your own question in regards to Plax. The players had mics shoved in their face all week. Hence a real distraction.

As far as Snyder goes. When has he cared about his public image?

i think they might know, but I would bet they really dont care. they are more worried about a roster spot.

edit: saw your edit. I dont think for a second anyone on the team is checking the internet for updates. :laugh:
