3rd game in a row where we are slipping all over the field

[Hooterman]

Something is wrong with our equipment staff. 3rd game in a row we have slip/fall problems. Is our equipment staff not reacting well enough?

[TD Riggo]

That was a complete FAIL by the equip staff! We should have corrected that at halftime!

Hangover from the Zorn Era.........

[Burgold]

I do wonder how many of today's injuries are a result of bad equipment?

[j0hnnyga]

and it wasn't just one player slipping over and over again people of all different sides of the ball were slipping all over the place i was very surprised because i thought this was something we should have had corrected at half time which it seems we did not...

[Warhead36]

I don't know if it's bad equipment, bad field conditions, or just having players who possess poor balance. We should get our players to box more, light sparring to increase their balance. It's silly just how often are players fall down at the slightest contact, or sometimes no contact at all.

Is it really as simple as getting longer cleats in today's game?

Yes and no

When you put the longer spikes in, they slow you down a good bit..I used to play football so know how that works. But at the same time, the people that take care of that field should be shot by letting it get in suck crappy shape...I've never seen a field that loose before, i t was horrible and probably was the reason for half the injuries today

[SonnyandSam]

It was the field. The Titans were slipping as much as us. As for the injuries....who knows if it was the field or not. Dockery's injury sure was not the field nor was Portis's reinjury of his groin. Can't blame the field for Rogers and Landry not playing. Sometimes it is just karma. Earlier in the year, we seemed to be knocking 3-4 visiting players out of games every game; but our guys were fine.

The Skins should report the field conditions to the league office. No excuse for an NFL field to be in that kind of condition. I wonder if they resod the field last week and it did not have time to take prior to game time.

Yeah that shot of the field with all the tiny divots in it was pretty telling. The field was in poor shape.

Ballet. I would pay to see them do ballet, serious.

Does anyone know if the Titans' field is used for a college team? If so, that would partially explain why the field was so messed up. Not that it's an excuse, but it does make things difficult for the grounds team.

[kreitmaster]

Titans were slipping too. The field was in poor shape.

P.F. Flyer's. guaranteed to make a kid run faster and jump higher. Worked for Benny "the Jet" Rodriguez

I was wondering that myself. I was also wondering how much the piss poor field conditions had to do with some of these injuries. The field, particularly on the outside, just looked awful and players on both teams were slipping.

[Titans&SkinsFan]

LP field has always been horrible...but it seemed like a record amount of slips this time.

[Woofer]

It was like watching a football game played on a hockey rink.

Luckily we don't have to play there often.
