novaman Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I wanted to start a positives only thread in the same vein as the no beeching and moaning gameday thread..... So here are my positives... 1. The Redskins came away with no significant injuries 2. They covered the spread! 3. They were within a touchdown of winning near the end 4. It appears they are well on their way to securing a very high first round draft choice in next years draft 5. My wife is going to be so pleased that I'm going to be able to have all this extra free time on Sunday afternoons since I won't be watching this team.

SellersHappens Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 1. Run defense was terrific. London Fletcher has shown that this isn't the year he declines and played like an animal 2. ARE in the slot looks like a very natural fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJD2 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 We should have our pick of QB's in next year's draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkypoo Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 1. Run defense was terrific. London Fletcher has shown that this isn't the year he declines and played like an animal2. ARE in the slot looks like a very natural fit. These were my two biggies from the game. Fletcher was a beast today. He was literally everywhere knocking the crap out of anything near him. ARE looks at home in the slot. He is going to have an excellent year. Cooley also looked good. The offensive line look decent against one of the best pass rushing teams in the NFL. Oh, and to the OP, if this was your breaking point, if you're really not watching games anymore, then good riddance. Being a fan isn't a weekly decision.

blue collar Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The only positive about this game is that "It's only week one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Zorn is a good, ballsy head coach I think that you mis-clicked; this isn't the sarcasm thread. Good things? 1) Rogers can't catch, but he's still tops at everything else. 2) Horton is boss. 3) Kelly can play. 4) The misery ended relatively quickly.

MumboSauce Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 1. London Fletcher 2. London Fletcher 3. London Fletcher notice a trend? 4. ARE(minus the 10yd loss) 5. Cooley 6. help me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeezgob Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hunter the punter...ummm...that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The deficit this game was smaller than the deficits in either game last year (9pts and 16 pts). ARE except on that busted reverse Albert Haynesworth Cooley getting a TD from JC REED DOUGHTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkypoo Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Zorn is a good, ballsy head coach Am I going mad, or did the work "good" escape your lips. You must be using a very liberal, relative definition of the word. Ballsy is even questionable, and easily replaced with stupid, if you are referring to the decisions that I think you are referring to. Or...you could be being sarcastic, which I hope. Oh, I hope.

Soup Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The oline did protect campbell against a great Dline and portis did run the ball well when he had his carries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hunter Smith may be the best offseason acquisition in a long time. And I'm not just talking about the touchdown. He is a solid punter best in a long time and with an offensive day like today a good punter is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Dallas looked scrappy against a real bad team, and hopefully McNabb's injury is gona' screw up the Eagles season. There my positives end. ***** Sunday.:mad: Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'll add that the Redskins were pretty good at short yardage defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin80 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I posted this in another thread but here's my take. I think there were a few good things or rather players in todays game and the main person was London Fletcher. This dude gives %100 on every play. I don't see anyone else playing like this guy on the feild at all. If there was someone else I would say Chris Horton had a good game. He is in on a lot of tackles and in the backfeild alot to. Big Albert wasn't bad but he sure was gassed! Another good thing seems to be Randle El in the slot! Doesn't look like many people will be able to cover him in from the slot. Chris Cooley was solid also. The real surprise is the O-Line. They played great in pass protection considering how we thought they would be. Very happy with the O-Line.

Stadium-Armory Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 We lost in the Meadowlands to start last year, still went 6-1 after it - and this year's next 7 games looks easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeDinNYC Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 novaman, real redskins fans watch EVERY game. ARE in the slot looked great... O-line looked good... special teams was solid... these are major positives. i also like that we have the rams and lions the next 2 weeks... if campbell doesn't AMAZE, then there should be no problem going to collins early in the season... if jason does well, then it should get him in a rhythm and build confidence. one game is not a judge, but i put this loss on JC... he was his same tentative self and ypu can't be that in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTerps26 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 the redskins have always sucked at the medowlands this team looks better than last year, not saying much tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Oh, and to the OP, if this was your breaking point, if you're really not watching games anymore, then good riddance. Being a fan isn't a weekly decision. This. I liked Cooley, Fletcher and ARE. The OL did pretty well considering. I couldn't watch the game till late what happened with Moss early on?

CM916 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 We actually did way better than last year after the 1st quarter. I'll take 23-17 over 16-7 opening up at the Giants. The defense got more pressure and got some turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyskins Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Similar to last year - and every year - it is damn hard to win divisional games on the road in the NFL. I don't think we played great and the score wasn't as close as the game was, but at the same time you don't look back at this game and say in the grand scheme that we lost alot of ground losing this game. Much worse if we were like the Cards losing at home to the Niners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
