Redskins are a disappointment
This will be brief as I don't have it in me immediately after such a disappointing loss to expound on all the things wrong with the result. Some important events of note, to highlight a poorly called football game:
6-S.Suisham extra point is No Good, Wide Left
Interesting.
1-10-PHI 14 (11:31) 17-J.Campbell pass short left to 83-J.Thrash to PHI 7 for 7 yards (96-O.Gaither).
2-3-PHI 7 (10:50) 26-C.Portis left tackle to PHI 5 for 2 yards (58-T.Cole, 57-C.Gocong).
3-1-PHI 5 (10:07) 45-M.Sellers up the middle to PHI 5 for no gain (98-M.Patterson).
Timeout #1 by WAS at 09:23.
4-1-PHI 5 (9:23) 6-S.Suisham 23 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-67-E.Albright, Holder-4-D.Frost.
You need to get to the four yard line for an extra set of downs, yet even that wouldn't necessarily been much of a victory since there was no clear indication that this team could score touchdowns in the red zone even with an unending supply of downs. I've been of the opinion that when your team fails to convert a 3rd and 1, it isn't a fault of playcalling but rather of execution, since gaining one yard can't be all that tough. But I've now sat through enough blown 3rd and 1s to know that this team simply cannot execute a run play properly enough to overcome an opposing defense that knows where the ball is going. Thus, insistence on running up the gut is a clear failure of this coaching staff to properly utilize the talent they should be familiar with by now. If runs up the middle cannot get us the shortest unit of measure in professional football, then it's time to abandon running it right up the middle. I wouldn't ask Jason Campbell to throw the ball 99 yards through the air, because he can't do it. I wouldn't ask our running backs and offensive line to plow forward for one yard because they can't do it. Try something new. Suffer through another storm of shit:
1-7-PHI 7 (6:39) 26-C.Portis left end to PHI 6 for 1 yard (98-M.Patterson).
2-6-PHI 6 (5:55) 26-C.Portis right tackle to PHI 5 for 1 yard (58-T.Cole; 97-B.Bunkley).
3-5-PHI 5 (5:12) 17-J.Campbell pass short middle to 87-T.Yoder to PHI 1 for 4 yards (77-L.Ramsey, 30-J.Reed). PENALTY on PHI, Defensive Holding, 2 yards, enforced at PHI 5 - No Play.
1-3-PHI 3 (4:43) 26-C.Portis left tackle to PHI 1 for 2 yards (51-T.Spikes, 90-D.Howard).
Timeout #1 by PHI at 04:31.
2-1-PHI 1 (4:31) 26-C.Portis right guard to PHI 2 for -1 yards (90-D.Howard, 93-J.Kearse).
Timeout #1 by PHI at 04:27.
3-2-PHI 2 (4:27) (Shotgun) PENALTY on WAS-47-C.Cooley, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at PHI 2 - No Play.
3-7-PHI 7 (4:27) 26-C.Portis right tackle to PHI 3 for 4 yards (22-J.Hanson, 51-T.Spikes).
Timeout #3 by PHI at 04:20.
4-3-PHI 3 (4:20) 6-S.Suisham 21 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-67-E.Albright, Holder-4-D.Frost.
A miracle puts us on the 3 yard line and we manage to find ourselves in a highly favorable 2nd and 1. This is where good teams score. Alternatively, bad teams get tackled for a loss and than give up 5 more yards on a stupid false start penalty. On 3rd and 7 the coaches run a draw play to nowhere, effectively admitting that 3 points is all they deserve. That kind of quitting? professional courtesy is not endearing when we lose. Three wasn't enough because
1-10-PHI 35 (4:09) 36-B.Westbrook left end to PHI 37 for 2 yards (57-R.Godfrey).
2-8-PHI 37 (3:36) (Shotgun) 5-D.McNabb pass short right to 84-H.Baskett pushed ob at PHI 42 for 5 yards (24-S.Springs). PENALTY on WAS, Illegal Substitution, 6 yards, enforced at PHI 37 - No Play.
2-2-PHI 43 (3:29) 5-D.McNabb pass short middle to 36-B.Westbrook for 57 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
Tragic that their team can get 4 yards even when we have an illegal amount of players on the field. Still, there remained a chance that we'd tie the game, except for our offense marched onto the field:
2-8-WAS 47 (1:55) (Shotgun) 17-J.Campbell Aborted. 61-C.Rabach FUMBLES at WAS 40, recovered by WAS-17-J.Campbell at WAS 40. 17-J.Campbell to WAS 40 for no gain (58-T.Cole).
Our quarterback got aborted? Well that's going to help me get through the work week. Unfortunately this game has implications that escape the four quarters it was played in. Your The Washington Redskins are now 5-4, 1-2 in the division, and 0-2 at home against the Giants and Eagles. Though the team is going to Dallas next week, there's a real concern they won't show up. Oh and Sean Taylor is hurt. Needless to say but I will anyways: Better days...
Oh yea, congratulations.

How can you say you stole it...

Oh and one more thing...
When it was obvious to anyone watching that the Skins allowed the Eagles to walk in for that final TD... Baldinger is in the booth singing the praises of the Eagles O-Line and talking about the "huge hole" they opened for Westbrook. Dick Stockton didn't realize it either. Did they not see the WAS linebackers just standing there?

That kinda surprised me...
Maybe he just needs to see a play over and over and in slow-mo and over before he can make something intelligible come out of his mouth.

Insanity
They let Campbell try to win this game and he was playing like he should be up until we had like 7 plays to get it in, in the 4th qtr.
At that point it was the usual lets not let Campbell lose this game so we'll telegraph all run plays instead of spreading it out like we've been doing all day and well. No instead lets do exactly what we've been doing in all our other loses.
Who here did not know we were going to do that raise your hand and say i. For anyone that raises their hand i have a great shrink for you. After how many times this has happened ,you are insane also. Because we all knew it was coming. I did and im only sitting in my living room.
Anyways, a change now will not interest me. ITS TOO LATE. I say play for the draft pick. Yes lose. We do not deserve to win. Say what you want but im tired of watching these guys fight their guts out while they all stick together, blah blah blah.
How about we call a spade a spade here. We're stupid, no dumb, wait, just plain morons.
By the way, the game was over after we settled for a field goal. Any plays after that were only because of the inability to score a TD and outcome would have been much different obviously.

oh yeah
Our fuc.... defense is constantly playing uphill. They never have any room to work with in the scoring dept., and we're losing more and more guys. i.e. Taylor
As i said before this will continue until the whole team is hurt as we are almost there now.

tough loss....
and i thought thrash was dead? j/k. thrash and mccardell played like it was '98 or something....wow....
the redskins aren't far. portis is playing well. campbell has shown some poise. roy can't cover cooley. so the deadskins have a chance next week...
a small insignificant chance. but one nonetheless....:)
we'll look forward to a good dustup next week, deadskins.
but we'll going to enjoy our three game lead in the division against you guys for as long as we can....

Geez...
Given, we have blitzed a little more, but not like the scary defenses do...i want to be scary...like my wife when she wakes up in the morning. Opposing offenses would refuse to go on the field, then.
God, please help the skins win for me...it appears you don't like Joe quite that much, so give me a try...if we lose by more than 9 points, I'll get Joel Osteen to pray...I'm sure You like him...oh wait, he's in Dallas, he may not go for that. Well, I'll try anyway.

Yeah i watched this game on tape some more
Maybe rightfully so but for the same reason all the fans were leaving in the last two minutes of the game the defense knows they almost have to score now to win a game like this.
on another note CP is 3rd in the nfl in rushing,that should tell us right there that were maxed out in the running game. If Gibbs had his way i think he would take every passing play out of the book. Before we know it CP is going to sustain a serious injury,he is taking a pounding. 66 rushing attempts in the last 2 weeks.
Everything has caught up with this team now,expect the spiral downward. Look what happened
without taylor in there and now we face dallas.
Cant say im excited about watching this week, in fact i wont be watching for the first time in gibbs 2.0. EASY VICTORY FOR DALLAS 38-17. I dare anyone to lay money on the skins in this game.
