St. Louis Rams at Washington Redskins Open Thread

St. Louis Rams @ Washington Redskins


We're sitting solid at 4-1 and face what many people consider to be the worst team in football. By many people I mean around half of the SB Nation NFL Bloggers that participated in the SB Nation Power Rankings this week, complements The Phinsider.

SB nation Power Rankings, it is an XL document.

Before your head explodes from the bogus ballot that has the Redskins ranked 13th, so stupid, I already fought that battle for you. It's just a wack ballot, I can't be blamed.

One of the bad things about playing St. Louis is that apparently means no one wants to watch, which is false as far as I'm concerned. See this week's distribution map which has Redskins and St. Louis on only in the D.C. and St. Louis area. My hood, Texas, will not get the game, which means I'll be at a sports bar.

What the Redskins need to do to win this game is not crap the bed. I think Coach Zorn's mantra of staying medium will get tested most during these types of games, as we're allegedly talented enough to be favored by two touchdowns. These are games that are lost mentally, which I suppose is a good thing, since it will reveal more about the character of the team than you'd typically expect an 0-4 opponent would.

HTTR, let's go punch them in the mouth.

big weekend for washington

well the redskins have went on the road and beat two division rivals. Now they have to take care of buisiness. No let downs here. In the NFL everyweek there is that one upset that makes you scratch your head. This can’t happen to WASH this week. Take WASH and give up the points. Washington will take care of it today. Portis get 150 today.

Hail!

Blessed with a wife that loves football I will be watching today’s game with neighbors and my kids while Mrs. Curly R and three of her girlfriends attend the game.

And while I have been pointed about not getting too wrapped up in how good the Redskins might really be, and the Any Given Sunday rule, it still strikes me that the Redskins would pretty much have to go off the rails in head butt the stadium kind of way in order to lose this game, it is the top ranked team in the league against the bottom ranked.

After doing my homework I took the Redskins and gave 13 points, I am not sure I have made a bet like that since 1991, that was a bit of a pick with my heart pick, they may not cover that spread, this is a deadeye lock for a straight up Redskins win.

Curly R’s Rams game preview is here.

Let’s have some fun being Redskins fans.

Shame on the Redskins

this is disgusting.

I hope Zorn has one hell of a halftime speech. This game should be a 3 TD spread at the end of the day. If not, some of these players need to take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror.

idk whats going on. I can’t watch but, I’m not happy.

by hibachi on Oct 12, 2008 3:17 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We are down 9

I can’t watch the game either but Campbell has fumbled it twice. We were going in for a score before the half (either 10-3 or 14-3) and Campbell had a pass batted at the line. Kendall caught it and tried to run with it. The Rams popped it loose and took it to the house for 75 yards. 10-7 Rams at halftime.

Offense has puckered up here and while the defense is keeping the Rams out of the endzone, the margin for error is razor thin now. Skins need 2 TDs in the 4th to win this.

UGLY GAME!

We are out gaining the Lambs. Three turnovers have given St. Louis the game.

The offense needs to buckle down in the 4th quarter. The game remains winable.

Need a defensive stop

Obvious, but a 3-and-out here would be great because we would/should get a short field.

I can only get the rams broadcast and these guys are annoying….

Rams are driving

2 minute warning. St. Louis first and and 10 from their 44.

A sack

could really do some big damage here. Gets the clock moving and backs them up.

Screw that

if this team can’t beat the worst team in the NFL, they are in trouble vs the Browns and Lions.

OMG!

St. Louis whistled for US penalty. Backs them up to the 32 yard line.

2 ticks left

Remember, Bulger took a knee on first down.

We're 4-2

same record as the falcons!!!

Eagles just gave up

17 points on 2.5 possessions.

FG
blocked FG taken to the house to end the half.
TD.

23-17 Niners.

Cowboys look dreadful and if Warner were being such a putz, they’d be getting blown out.

Giants have to be worried about the Browns the way the NFC East is playing this week.

Giants won't

if the Niners score again, they will beat Philly.
Somehow, the refs will find another way to give this game to Dallas.

Any Given Sunday, Boys

Was a very exciting game to watch!! And while I’d feel the same as you if the Redskins were my team, I can’t help but be very excited for the Rams. I’ve hung in there with them through the last two horrendous seasons and sat in the stadium when all the other “fans” had gone home in the last quarter. They needed a shot of confidence. While I don’t expect a coach change to be a miracle cure, I’m happy this might restore a little of their dignity.
