Open Gameday Thread: Redskins @ Colts 4:15 PM Eastern

by Skin Patrol on Oct 22, 2006 12:26 PM EDT in Open Threads

This is Your Washington Redskins Open Gameday thread.

Most of the nation will be watching this game; check out the broadcast map here.

Check out the official gameplan (warning: plenty of typos) here.
Gameday previews here and here.

Here's the weather report, not that it matters because the game is inside a dome.

Redskins injury report:
Dockery, Derrick      Probable      Hip
Griffin, Cornelius     Questionable     Hip
Marshall, Lemar     Probable     Ankle
Patten, David     Probable     Thigh
Rogers, Carlos     Out     Thumb
Salave'a, Joe     Probable     Calf
Sellers, Mike     Probable     Elbow
Springs, Shawn     Probable     Groin
Washington, Marcus     Probable     Hip

Everyone could play but Carlos Rogers. The Griff probably won't play.

Colts injury report. They pretty much list everyone on their team because the Colts consider hangnails and menstral cramps to be "game time decisions". I'll spare you the gruesome details.

HTTR!

And what's up with that big chunk

of red in Montana on the broadcast map?

TERRIBLE CALL

Terrible face mask call!

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 4:47 PM EDT reply actions

Good TD

refs gave that TD to Washington. Terrible, TERRIBLE face mask call on Freeney sacking Brunell.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 4:49 PM EDT reply actions

How so?

He went right to the face of Brunell, even Dungy didn't argue once he saw the reply.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 4:52 PM EDT up reply actions

Colts run defense

Colts run defense dominating Redskins. Their TD is a result of bad officiating, and Mark Brunell throwing. If Brunell continues to throw with no running game, Colts are in good shape... unless the refs continue to make terrible calls like that.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 4:51 PM EDT reply actions

First of all

I'm impressed with Brunell throwing the ball downfield... 2 in a row, Cooley for a TD.

Second, why run to the outside on a very small and quick defense? Portis needs to be pounding the inside, even with big Booger there.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 4:51 PM EDT reply actions

Eagles did their thing

and lost. Redskins doing the things that count now. Tie game, 14-all. Brandon Lloyd already has three catches!

Joseph Addai

He's looking good on this drive.

Manning

Looking slow to get up.

Washington player tried to clothes line him.

10-7 Colts

Adam Vinatieri knocks it through.

That Jay-Z Bud commerical is DUMB!

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:06 PM EDT reply actions

Manning

Looks like he's got a stinger in his neck, or something like that. He came back for one play, handed it to Addai. He did not throw.

For Colts fans, this is a bit concerning.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

Yes Rabach

You WERE holding.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:11 PM EDT reply actions

Again

Draw plays KILL the Colts. Not straight ahead running. Not stretch runs or pitches. Mother fing draws.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:14 PM EDT reply actions

That middle

is going to be open for running lanes all day.

Going outside plays to the Colts favor.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:15 PM EDT reply actions

Portis is hurt

Limped off the field and collasped.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:15 PM EDT reply actions

A helmet

to the loower regions.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:17 PM EDT up reply actions

Hopefully

He is ok.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions

He got up on the sidelines

he looks sore and I don't think he'll try to have kids anytime soon.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions

Another flag

Santana Moss personal foul. Dumb play on Moss.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:17 PM EDT reply actions

They always catch the second guy

and Moss didn't even really do anything. A jumping helmet spearing attempt? Come on now. If you're gonna get a penalty, at least do something that affects the guy. He hit him hard enough to get a penalty and that's about it.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions

Moss's penatly

Costs Redskins 3 points. Redskins FG missed.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:18 PM EDT reply actions

Kicking woes

killing the Skins again.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:18 PM EDT reply actions

Moss's penatly

I think Moss's dumb penalty was more the problem than the missed kick. 49 yards in the RCA Dome is tough.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions

True

but the Redskins kickers haven't come through all season. It's a problem that's been lingering for a few years even.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:22 PM EDT up reply actions

2 big returns from ARE

this one for a TD.

BUT can we stop the stupid penalties?

Moss and ARe for 15 yards

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:23 PM EDT reply actions

Both were totally unnecessary...

Celebration and a stupid unsportmanlike.

You keep giving the Colts free yards and it will come back to hurt the Skins.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Randel El

87 yard punt return for a TD. Maybe a flag for excessive celebration.

Redskins 14-Colts 10

Colts special teams looking terrible!

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:23 PM EDT reply actions

Troy Aikman

Needs to stop harping on Hunter Smith. Colts ST have let the Skins get good returns all day.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:25 PM EDT reply actions

Was Hunter

hurt or just on a knee thinking? He looked like he was stretching a groin or something...

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions

The Colts

Offense is not getting the ball downfield, and ST is killing them.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:26 PM EDT reply actions

Redskins

Committing DUMB penalties today.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:28 PM EDT reply actions

Unsportsmanlike

on the damn punter...

Now that's the sign of a 2-4 team.

ANOTHER STUPID FING PENALTY!!!

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:29 PM EDT reply actions

Another Redskins penalty

Man, they are making stupid penalties.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:33 PM EDT reply actions

Dude,

if Rabach was holding (and he was) that was a hold.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:34 PM EDT up reply actions

That was a hold

but it wasn't called because the 3 previous penalties on the Skins

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:33 PM EDT reply actions

That last Personal Foul

It should not have been called. You're right.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:37 PM EDT reply actions

But it was called

because the 3 previous calls...

This is a very bad start for the Skins in reguards to the refs.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:38 PM EDT up reply actions

Harrison

Amazing catch. First and goal Colts.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:38 PM EDT reply actions

Manning to Harrison

really threded the needle there...

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions

TD Harrison

But looks like Harrison only got one foot inbounds.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:41 PM EDT reply actions

Nice hands

but only one foot.

Go for it on 4th?

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:41 PM EDT reply actions

FG or go for it?

Will they go for it?

Harrison TD overturned.

I guess they will kick the FG.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:42 PM EDT reply actions

Redskins 14-Colts 13

I think Manning is hurt.

The story of the first half so far has been the horrid play of the Colts' kick coverages.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:44 PM EDT reply actions

Halftime Redskins 14-Colts 13

Colts run defense looking very good. McFarland is making a difference. Kick coverage for Indy has been dreaful.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 5:46 PM EDT reply actions

This is probably the best case scenario

for the Skins heading into halftime. The health of Manning and Portis issues, though both played until the end of half.

The Skins need to shore up the defense, but good luck against a (presumably) healthy Manning.

More rushing up the middle is needed. It opened up the passing game and gave Burnell time to throw downfield.

Looks to be a good game.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 5:51 PM EDT up reply actions

Ummm...

I think Manning is okay.

Arm-tackling Addai WON'T work.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:02 PM EDT reply actions

TD Harrison!

Colts 20-Redskins 14

If the Colts kick coverage could TACKLE, this would be a blowout.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:03 PM EDT reply actions

Ok

Can the kick coverage TACKLE someone?

I guess they finally do.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:05 PM EDT reply actions

BTW

TexSkins, thanks for the comments. :)

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:06 PM EDT reply actions

Anytime...

Portis doesn't look good.

What started so well for the Skins turned so bad very quickly.

Looks like they'll let another opportunity slip by.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions

Portis is down again

Might be his shoulder.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:06 PM EDT reply actions

He's up...

looks like a bruise-type of hit.

It should be okay for today, but tomorrow will hurt like hell.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions

Good

Again, HATE seeing players hurt.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Freeney

He is killing Chris Samuels.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:11 PM EDT reply actions

He's beating him to the corner...

and when he's not, he's pushing Samuels into Brunell.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:12 PM EDT up reply actions

There's the Burnell I know...

Immediate checkdown.

The whole team is going into a shell, the same shell that's lost them 4 games.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:12 PM EDT reply actions

TD Wayne

Manning to Wayne off play action.

51 yards.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:16 PM EDT reply actions

Rumph and Archuleta torched for a TD

why am I not surprised?

Addai is running wild.

This looks like the turning point in the game. If the Skins don't respond on this drive, the game might be over... or might turn into a blowout.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:18 PM EDT up reply actions

Aikman echoing my comments.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:21 PM EDT up reply actions

Colts 27-Redskins 14

I guess Manning is ok. Great throw to Wayne. Addai running the ball well.

Portis is back

3 tard gain.

FINALLY

The Colts sniff out a screen. I think that was the first time this year.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:21 PM EDT reply actions

Brunell

dumping off to a running back on 3rd and long.

He didn't do that in the first half and the Skins scored.

No wonder they went away from that here in the second. * sigh *

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:23 PM EDT up reply actions

Colts defense

Is doing a good job stopping Redskins run. without the run, and down by two TDs, Skins must throw.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

by BigBlueShoe @ Hogs Haven on Oct 22, 2006 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm getting tired

Of ST penalties.

Manning passed Sunny

Sunny was a great player.

That's TD number 2.

Colts going for 2.

Colts 33-Redskins 14

Colts do not convert the 2 point conversation. Manning has been on fire in the second half. 3 TD passes. 4 for the day.

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

If the redskins don't score here...

I want to see JC. It's about time.

Let's see if he's learned anything with 6 different offenses in 6 years...

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:42 PM EDT reply actions

JC?

Is he the 2nd year QB?

Colts site on SBNation: Stampede Blue

Yessir

Jason Campbell, out of Auburn.

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions

My point about the kicking game...

way to go Novak. Might have kicking tryouts for the third time this season during the BYE week.

Oh, and ARE and Lloyd fighting on the sideline... Great job guys. Why not use some of that energy on the field.

The Skins just look like an undisiplined team. The Miami of the NFL (well, next to Oakland, but at least they're winning today.)

by TexSkins on Oct 22, 2006 6:54 PM EDT reply actions

Redskins are not Oakland

Skins have had some bad breaks. Stupid penalties haven't helped.

Anytime

congrats on the win, going to 6-0.

Looks like Booger helped the run defense...

Need work on Kick returns, especially on punts.

Based on what I saw today, no reason for Addai not to be the starter.

All in all, great performance from the Colts...
