Visanthe Shiancoe says some Vikings players gave up; Easy Win for Redskins This Week?

I feel like I'm in bizarro world. Although the Redskins record is Zorn-esque at 5-9, something definitely feels different with this team. All of the Shanahan's work in preparing the team each week is noticeable, and for once, drafted players are the ones making major contributions.
The Giants are an utter mess right now with Antrel Rolle publicly sounding off on veterans not practicing and the effort not being there. Well, for the second week in a row it looks like the Redskins will face a team with tee times on their mind. The Vikings got down early versus the Saints last week and the Vikings mailed it in:
"I would say, you could see some guys hung it up," Shiancoe said. "Not a lot though. Like a very small handful of guys...[it's] very, very disappointing...I'm trying to keep this team together anyway I can. Trying to keep the morale going, trying to encourage (Christian Ponder) as much as possible, encourage every position as much as possible. That's all I can do."
Offensively, the Vikings are pretty much in the bottom 10 in every category. Although they rank 5th in rushing yards per attempt (5.2), the Christian Ponder led passing unit ranks 5th worst, which surely was damaged thanks to Donovan McNabb's six porous games (1-5 record). Surely, the 2-12 Vikings are not a gimme. Jared Allen, Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin can make plays and heck, if the Chiefs can beat the Packers, why can't the Vikings beat the Redskins? For the first time I can remember the Redskins are FAVORITES....by 6.5 points no less.
If the Redskins get a lead early, this game could get ugly for the Vikings fast, and I'll toast my egg nog to that. Oh, and Jim Haslett, if you're reading this post, make sure you game plan for the Vikings trickery play where QB Joe Webb fake hands off to QB Christian Ponder!

Of the many streaks that we presently own, I am not sure if that one or the consecutive games with a turnover is more embarrassing.

I think the fact that you can practically guarantee our QB is going to have at least one turnover a game takes the cake

Normally home field is automatically worth 3 points. A start by Rex automatic -8 points?

According to wikipedia (which is never wrong), Silver Spring is not a city, rather a:
is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States.
I’m just happy I don’t live in an unincorporated area, that would be depressing not to be corporated.

i think this is an important game for us
we’ve been playing really well the past couple weeks against quality opponents, but in the past we’ve had a tendency to play down to lesser opponents…cofield talked to the team after the giants game about playing complete games week in and week out…i think its important the team heeds the words of his postgame speech this week….i’d love for us to make this a statement game, just completely blowout a team from first to fourth quarter
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.
*Socrates*
I was very impressed by the way the defense played right up tp the final bell.....
even though the game was won……
I was very unimpressed when I saw nuances of the “prevent” defense rear it’s ugly head, and waaaaay too early.
"Please don't dominate the rap, Jack, if you got nothin' new to say."-Robert Hunter
It's definitely winnable
I’d like to school Minnesota, not because I have anything against them, but because I want the year to end on as positive a note as possible. Unlike a lot of radio/tv commentators I do think there’s something to taking momentum into next season even if it’s only teaching our young guys how to win.
One thing that the Redskins have struggled with over the last few years is going in and convincingly winning games in which they’re favored. Now is the time to do that.
This game will Define a lot more than sweeping the Giants...
something definitely feels different with this team
Yes, I agree and as fans we can be shown the true difference by winning a game which the Redskins are favorites and should win…
I find this funny…
Ponder rolls into Fedex Field with a 72.3 passer rating, 13 TDs, 12 INTs, 54.5% completion percentage, and 5 Fumbles."
Rex is actually worse statistically

Our O line is atrocious
and more importantly our secondary is made up of rookies and people we’ve pulled off the street.
The Vikes aren't in a remodeling or reconstruction they are in a burn the place down and start praying they don't mimic the Lions rebuilding process.
and they will be getting invaluable experience,
hopefully some of these guys will grow into quality additions to this football team.

Good luck with an easy win
I think the Vikes will pull it together here. We have a lot of winners on this team and I honestly think they are tired of losing to the point where they are going to start trying to take things in their own hands a bit.

Um....
maybe. Since you said BOTH Vampire and Werewolf.
Gotta agree about AAWIL being the best Werewolf movie, though.
Unless someone is going to break out one of the various Harry Potter movies.
And anyone who liked An interview with a Vampire needs to have their maleness checked, ‘cuz it’s missing.
