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.

somebody fill me in?

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.
