BraveWarrior Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 you people realize the synthetic turf doesnt mess with your joints the way astro turf did right? it feels and plays just like bermuda grass, If that's true, then I hope Snyder switches to it for next season.

Frediemac Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm not blaming the game on the Field but RG3's Injury on the Field. He tried to stop and thow to Garcon in the enzone and his leeg slipped and he rolled his knee. What the replays on the play that CHANGED THE GAME. The Skins were up 7-0 at the time.

DieselPwr44 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Turf?? Really?? This fanbase has gotten soft like butter. And AP got hurt because Gomes hit him directly in the knee, not because of a grass field. Turf? Get out of here with that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Screen Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That field is definitely a joke. That was the first thing I noticed when FOX came on the air. Horrible. And it's been that way for years. Can't be that hard to maintain a field with 8 home dates. Maybe they should stop having college games and concerts on it or what not. I dunno. But something has to be done. The third most valuable franchise shouldn't be playing on dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurfs86 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Other than getting healthy, fixing the field is another top priority. Not saying it just because of this game either. It's been bad all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousD Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think we should roll out concrete. When you come to FedEx just know......there will be blood Riiight. And our players would suffer the most for being forced to play 8 games on it. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogsGoHard Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Riiight. And our players would suffer the most for being forced to play 8 games on it. Brilliant. Our players will be turned into cyborgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The field is a disaster and has been for sometime. Honestly it looks like a motocross track where a football game happened to break out, and that was prior to kickoff. Seriously, we need a field that will hold up for our players. This is embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martytheman Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 field turf is interesting.. I think it's injected into the grass like hairplugs right? it's a combo of regular grass with synthetic fibers? or maybe I'm thinking of something else.. in any event the grass there kinda sucks. it feels like hard packed sand with about 2" of grass on top. Wonder what Snyder will do in the offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 First of all, this is football. Take your ideas about synthetic turf and keep the in the closet with your pretty pink dress That said there is no reason for us to be playing on painted dirt. Hell, Lambeau looks like a golf course, and they're 20 degrees colder up there. Snyder needs to take a close look at the turf management team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeluCopter29 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Can we focus on just getting a whole new stadium that ya know.... isn't an acoustical nightmare? Let's try and make the stadium give as much as the fans have put in these past two weekends before we worry about the field itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 For an NFL playoff game to have the field we have is inexcusable. Should be fixed asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFK Lives Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Let's see, the Redskins bubble has turf, I have not been to Ashburn but is that turf as well? I am an old schooler and like grass but the game is evolving as is our personnel so if they play better and faster on field turf, bring it. We should have plenty of time this offseason to look at the film and analyze if they played better on turf or grass or if there were no difference but I agree with zoony on this point, if Green Bay can keep a grass field looking good, then we sure as hell can find somebody to do it in the Mid-Atlantic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frediemac Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I Didn't mean we need turf. We just need a better quality Grass Field to keep our QB from getting his leg caught and slipping, hurting his knee worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie411 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Same thing happened at the Verizon Center. Everyone complained the Ice was very poor. Finally Ted had the whole thing redone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticsalmon Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It took Snyder ages to finally build a bubble-now he has to step it up and fix the field. The Skins will be a marquee team next season-and that sand lot is not only embarrassing for one of the most profitable sports franchise- it's dangerous!

Trung Canidate Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's embarrassing how bad our field looked. I don't understand why it'd be considered "girly" to have field turf? If it helps our team, and keeps are players healthy then we should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Him getting hurt had nothing to with the field and everything to do with his knee not being healthy enough to jump throw off of. As a running team I'm a fan of the nasty field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have statistics pertaining to this in my thread here: http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?378491-Playing-Surface-%28Or-Why-we-need-to-evolve-as-an-organization%29 We play better on turf, and in domes. We're a speed team with an athlete at QB. We don't want the surface we have now, even with Morris. He ran just as well this season on artificial surfaces as he did on grass.

redskin01fan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have said in othr posts with tis topic, either go the route of New England with the woven stuff under the field that holds the surface together or go to the synthetic field turf.
