Ev0LuTi0nX Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 tahoma silver Champ Bailey and Rod Gardner was just saying that they were getting frausrated with the close games. Do you think they should just run up the score?:eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan44 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 If we get a good lead on the Eagles, I say run it up. I would love to see the Skins bury the Eagles, and stomp them into the ground. :eaglesuck :eaglesuck :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskrat Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Spurrier made a living out of running up the score on his opponents in college. From what I heard about him during this time, he didn't change his game plan much once he had a lead. Contrast that to what has been done this season with leads (most importantly Sunday vs. the Pats) and he, in addition to learning to be more consistent with the run, is learning the NFL coach mantra of "with the lead, just kill the clock". This works, of course, if you can move the ball effectively and get a couple 1st downs each drive before punting...something we were unable to do. I say Spurrier should "dance with the one who brung ya" and keep with the gameplan UNTIL the Skins are up by AT LEAST 17 points with 1/2 of the 4th qtr. gone....MAYBE start at the beginning of the 4th IF the defense is dominating and getting pressure on the QB consistently.

They didn't need to run up the score, in fact they held off. There is no real point to it. The losses were embarrassing enough. To even suggest it smacks of extremely poor sportsmanship.

gridironmike Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Do you really think they held off with the venom the other coaches have for Spurrier? What is Reid's salary?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posse81 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I doubt we'll be in any position to do so, but if we can....YES. Run it up, I'm still pissed about Monday night last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinRob Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 You see the Packers last night, they were up 15 in the 4th quarter and were passing the ball and taking chances. They scored another TD and that gave them a 22 point lead, no one mentioned that it was running up the score, they were protecting the lead! I say you do what works and if you are scoring then do it until the clock runs out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I would wait until it becomes an issue before I worry about it. I don't think Spurrier was as concerned with running up the score on Sunday as he was with just protecting the lead. Listening to him since Sunday, I think he's going to be less inclined to pull in the reins unless it gets to be very late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Total points scored is one of the tie breaking formulas the league uses to determine division winner if it comes down to a tie of wins and loses so why not get what you can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, SonnyJ. You never have to give up or change what you're doing. If a team is up by 35 in the 4th quarter, you're not a smart coach if you leave your starters in the game. You're just inviting disaster. When you put your 2nd and 3rd teams in and still continue to score, so be it. Up by 14, you've got to keep trying to score with your game plan. If you go into a shell (Reid/Fassel) you can easily let the other team back in with quick 3 and outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&G Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 There should be only one standing order to both offense and defense: Attack! After this weekend, I'm not sure what might be a comfortable lead for our team. One thing that I am pretty certain of right now is that we're not very good at "protecting" a lead.

NavyDave Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 The only way i see us running up the score is if we have touch downs from the defense and special teams to compliment the offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 ST or defensive scores (or very short field opportunities, like two of our TDs) are about the only way any body will really blow anyone out in the NFL. Sometimes, you do get the other team with a lot of defensive breakdowns and come up with the 40+ yard TD but that's not usually going to happen enough.

I say you do what works and if you are scoring then do it until the clock runs out!! Favre is also a veteran who has seen every defensive scheme ever, and is truly one of the greats....as is Manning. Spurrier's concern was our own self-destruction. With the lower risk plays, the lower the possibilty of the game turning on us. It makes sense Rob. Plus, Ramsey was taking too many hits from that shifty 3-4 BB defense. Later on in the year, we will see some domination from this offense. We're still working the kinks out.

shamanistic1 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Did anyone happens to catch the Colts game? Hello who rang up points there. Ya think Dungy cares?. I would just like to see our Skins' rev that engine and see what it can do. Why not do it against a fellow rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 YES score as many points as u frickin can. im sick of close games. spurrier needs to show this offense off, let the rest of the league know we can put up some points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 "When you play a game, you always play to win" Wasn't that what Spurrier's dad taught him? In other words, run that mother up!!:eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 HItman56, great quote. It's one I used last year, unfortunately that didn't seem to amp up our boys(as if they read message boards anyway) Did you think of the other line from the movie when reading the thread title, "Run up the score, Herman. Leave no doubt." That's what I want Steve to do, when the time is right--leave no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 FWIW, I don't think anybody's claiming SS was holding the team back from scoring because he didn't want to embarass the Pats. He stopped throwing because he figured the only way we could blow that lead was with turnovers. To me, our game plan when we've got a lead is the same one that got the lead: Go where they ain't. If the other guy's gonna stack 9 in the box, then make 'em respect our receivers. If he's blitzing your QB, then run the ball. Face it, we ain't good enough to be chivalrous.
