Live Game Thread: Redskins @ Falcons
Washington Redskins at Atlanta Falcons, Nov 8, 2009 1:00 PM EST
Mike Smith has his man. Jim Zorn doesn't. Hopefully the Redskins defense can give the offense with some excellent field condition.

Ok, I guess we start today on the rest of season.
The Zorn countdown is 9 and counting today. If he wants to ever be a head coach again, he needs to put something on the resume today.
Hope your right
But when I had to put up the number for the office pool, I had Falcons by 10 :( But at least that would beat the spread.
Theyve succeeded in getting Al off his game already
and can just milk it with Tony G whenever they want. Lets make some adjustments
Was that partly JC's fault?
I mean, he rolled right into a rusher
by Ken Meringolo on Nov 8, 2009 1:20 PM EST up reply actions
does it matter?
he wouldn’t gotten away anyway. The O-line was just standing around. 3 man rush, all three get in the backfield
Gotta problem
Wife is saying if the Redskins are going to suck so much, I have a choice… I can watch the game in the family room with her and fold clothes while watching, or I can go cut the grass.
So it looks like I’m going to fold clothes. Maybe I’ll be able to be back after the half.
DANG IT Campbell sacked on a three man rush.
Yes sir
defense steps out of shit pile…any chance the replay shows he didn’t get it?

how close were we to knocking that ball out of our own hands!
one 4th down penalty rectified

he takes 1 step forward in one game
and then 10 steps back in the next.

Yup
Just like college days caught up to him Throwing too many INTS Still I like Matt a lot.
And if you dont mind me saying? Zorn needs to be fired! and Draft a good QB to replace Cambell
by !AtlFalcons-fan! on Nov 8, 2009 1:40 PM EST up reply actions
Don't mind him
NOT all Falcons fans are that annoying …
Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?
Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.
Damn when did...
It start going downhill for the Redskins? Was it zorn? Was it keeping Cambell? ?

4 sacks already?
Suit me up, I can block better than these jokers. At least Suisham is perfect this year.
For an upgrade
I’m sure there’s some girl scouts available somewhere.

Breaking News
Vinny Ceratto confident O – line is pro bowl caliber. 2010 walk on tryouts now expected for entire O – line. Prior football experience not needed.
Don't forget the rook Byrd on the Bills
guy has like 6-7 INT’s already.

must be nice
to know that you can take that kind of chance. The refs will bail you out anyway, so what does it matter?
Hey guys
I’ve been mostly watching the Ravens/Bengals game, but I switched over to the Skins game to see Collins was in. Did Campbell get hurt, or just benched?
"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09
do you really
think so? I can’t honestly say we’re better than anyone right now. Our defense was supposed to be our saving grace, but they look just as bad. Well, almost
I guess it's splittin hairs
I wonder how much WE’D give up to the Cards. They’re offense is better than Atlantas
If I was Dan Snyder, I would fire everyone on this team except...
B-Rak, Fletch, C.P., Horton, Dre, Cedric and then include myself!

I've got a NEW version
of max protect. We should line up 10 guys to block for JC, just let him run everytime
How are they playing Orakpo this game?
Is he getting his sacks from defensive end or is he still playing coverage as a linebacker? I don’t have a feed but I’m really curious.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
They're mixing him up as usual
But he got his sack at DE

Pastrami sandwich… the last one worked out pretty well for me.
Oh Man...
I have been begging for that since the preseason. I don’t understand how he can be worse that will montgomery.
Vinny can't cut a draft pick.
That might make him look bad!

Does anyone suspect when the Skins will play in their retru uni's?
I’d take the monotone Burgundy ensemble again as an alternative, that combo is pure bad-assness!

great stop on D. The rest of the season doesn’t have to suck. Let’s get it going right now.
D. Hall makes me nervous with the ball

They need indisputable evidence
to overturn the TD call.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvIX3S0f-2c&feature=player_embedded
I would just like to point out
that I’m the only one here that didn’t give up on our team in the 1st half
anyone else notice
that our little names on offense are getting us back in the game? Our 3 highest paid offensive players are in street clothes, and we score the most points of the season. Think Dan and Vinny realize this?
Oh boy.
It was fun while it lasted. Was that Orakpo lined up at DE there?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
RB obviously wasn't a need
but I get what you’re saying. Laron was the right pick at the time and he still has all the talent in the world, but mentally I just don’t think he’ll ever put it together.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
I understand
but it wasn’t a need for Minnesota either, and look how they’re doing.
And yes, I DO think Laron has the talent. And I think it’ll show on his next team.
I'm burning my Landry jersey!

Can we draft Eric Berry and play Landry at SS?
Would that work out?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
That would work
But Landry still would have missed that tackle.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvIX3S0f-2c&feature=player_embedded
Eric Berry is an Ed Reed clone.
Do you doubt Ed Reed would help this defense?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
Just put JC on the bench
before he gets killed.

Moose -
“He’s gonna be carrying this ankle with him for the rest of the year.”
Where do they get these guys?
"He's unblockable inside"
Do they realize that our offensive line is made up of guys that wouldn’t even be second string on other teams?

I don't blame Zorn for that.
I blame Vinny and the offensive line.

Why did Collins throw that. He had someone open downfield.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
they keep saying we
were supposed to “take advantage” of our easy first half. We’re not a good enough team for ANY game to be easy.

What can he do there?
You’re supposed to let it go in that part of the field. It took a good bounce, that’s not his fault.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
And if he fields it
gets rocked and fumbles it what do we do then?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
Cambell looked like
one of those GI Joe figures. His legs facing backwards, torso front, head sideways
Russell Okung!!
We don’t need any more Terp busts… :-D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvIX3S0f-2c&feature=player_embedded
He had Kelly widdddddeee open.
He under threw it because of the pressure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
He could've easily gotten to the sticks.
You don’t take that chance on 4th down if you can see the sticks.
Look on the bright side
now that we have the 2-6 out of the way, we can go ahead and finish 6-2.

but they punched Philly in the mouth.

Josh Freeman is looking kinda good.
Maybe Tampa will finish with a better record than us. #1 pick here we come!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
I don't even want the #1 pick.
I think Vinny will be too tempted to select a QB #1 overall than a lineman due to positional value. I like Clausen but I’m hoping for either Russel Okung or Bruce Campbell.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
think there will be anyone sweating someone so hard
that we can trade down from the #1 pick? Yeah…. probably not. Dammit.
Nobody will trade up to #1.
It’s not exactly a great spot to be in which is a shame. I can’t wait until they employ a slotted rookie salary cap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
Clausen, Locker, Bradford.
All three of those aren’t going to be gone before we pick. Let’s just hope we have a decent GM making the selection by then.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
you're throwing out
the VERY GOOD possibility that we could trade for another pick, and draft TWO of those guys
Trade what for another pick?
We have no assets. We just have a bunch of guys on very bad contracts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
Let me correct that for you.
The offensive line and vinny cerrato suck.
Hey, I guess you did need 7 words.

Your offense was rolling in the third quarter
Some will say the Falcons fell asleep after the half, but I really think you’re 2 or 3 O-Linemen from a winning record.
Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?
Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.
the only way
this mess get fixed is if we make VINNY line up at QB, and Danny at RB. Let THEM stand behind that putrid line
Kevin E typical JC hater still !!
Zorn does not have a brain. JC does not have a coach Zorn is no Mike Smith. We need to keep JC 17 and get rid of ZORON THE MORON and get a offensive line that can block.
