hobbie8046 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Anyone else at the game last night surprised at the energy of the crowd? There were moments last night (Buffalo's 4th and 1 for example) that were louder than it ever got at any of the three regular season games I went to last year.

NoVaSkins21 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 The true test will come in a couple of weeks vs the Jets. Let's see what they look like for 3 qtrs or so and then a true gauge of what this team will look like Sept. 12th. Plus the Jets are potentially being looked as a SB contender and it will be nice to see what the Skins are going to look like against a team like that.

RFKFedEx Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 It did get loud in the lower level, but still not like a regular season game. All I can say is Osaka baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Pease Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I am certainly not going to think we will win the Superbowl just because we beat Buffalo in our first preseason game; but I do think we will crush Dallas in our opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinthePRF Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Rewatching the game this morning, some observations: Joe Theismann is so far up the Redskins butt during this game they must of had to use the jaws of life to remove him from the stadium. Laron Landry might end up being the biggest dissapointment of this season. He seems constantly out of place unless he's running straight upfield on a blitz or run support. I hope our tackles are healthy all season because Stephon Heyer still scares the heck out of me. He plays high so bull rushers can push him on passing situations and he can't push anyone downfield during run plays unless he throws himself to the ground. AND he has poor footwork, one swim/spin move, LOOK OUT DONAVAN! On that note, don't put too much into to Rex's box score, he still made some horrible throws a good team is going to make us pay for if he's on the field during the regular season. McIntosh is thinking too much, his reaction to a lot of plays is slow, he's learning this defense a lot slower than Fletcher. But I'm confident he'll come along. We should of traded Andre Carter, he is just not a 3-4 LB. Feel free to panic whenever he has to do anything but rush the quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel25 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 so this is where we're SUPPOSED to over react? cool. we got the next devin hester, hall is the best corner in the league, riley is the second coming of ray lewis, we'll have 2 RBs go for 1500 yards this year, and most importantly.... championship.

yellow41 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 We all know preseason means squat when it comes to regular season performance, so I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid just yet. But what we DO know is those of us who have tickets can affect the outcome of the games by not selling them to opposing fans/Stubhub/online vendors, and if we can't use them, sell them to other Skins fans. We need to make sure Dallas fans don't take over our house on September 12 as they did last season. HTTR and We Want Dallas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus71 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I saw a well coached team, disciplined and firey with heart! This is a different team, I dont care about wins or losses during pre season but a win is a win and this team needs to get used to the feeling of winning. They were losers, they were used to it and it became the culture! I highly doubt we will have the same success vs the rat birds and the jets but as long as there is progress and they are fighting that is all that matters!

MumboSauce Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'm glad they looked pretty good, better than looking terrible...but some folks need to get a grip, seriously! Hope they keep getting better and it comes together faster than expected and they fair well in the regular season..but don't get too hopped up on a pre-season game against the Bills. I see way too much Superbowl here we come stuff. I will say I liked the energy and tenacity they had..there were some mistakes but they were ready. The Bills looked slow and disinterested in contrast. I'm actually a little more concerned about the D than the Offense. I saw some serious 3-4 mistakes that gave up big runs, etc. I agree with an above poster, Rex had several should have been int's like ol Rex does but got away with it. and Stephon Heyer is a scrub. With that said I'm not worried about CP, Moss,McNabb Fletcher, Cooley etc. they are ready no doubt. Trent Williams looks like a Stud so far.

Let''s see where this team is after the Jets game and at that point we should get a read on where exactly they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Chaos47 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Preseason doesn't mean jack but it was nice to see us move the ball and look like an NFL team. I loved seeing a punt returner actually run up field rather than side ti side and backwards. Randle El would run 50 yards and gain -1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGATIVE OVERREACTION!!Amazing how people can only find negative it seems in a 42-17 win Hey, I am really excited by what I saw, but I also saw some flaws against the running game that are kind of worrisome since that's supposed to be the strong point of a 3-4. It's only the preseason, so people can freak out good or bad, but I saw lots of great stuff, some rust, and some negatives from last night.

skinsfan4128 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 That's what I'm waiting for :point2sky Agreed. That, and the Ravens game this week. I'm looking forward to seeing how we do against their D. And likewise, against their O. I still think we're light years from where Zorn had taken us (The Dark Side of the Moon comes to mind).
