Skins Lose

Work in progress on both sides of the ball. I was suprised to see Demetric Evans give them hell like he did. where was Andre Carter??


better yet where was chris cooley? all i can say is the play calling by saunders in the red zone was freaking awful. 4 trips in the redzone and we get 3 fgs and one touchdown. You wont win many games like that. As far as I am concerned when the clock strikes midnight we have to put this behind us and get ready its dallas week. and as far as the defense goes i really think not having shawn springs in uniform hurt the most. Rumph and Wright are no springs and as far as rogers goes...he made some good plays and some bad plays. And Mr Taylor should have realized what referee crew was in town tonight. I think he has a bullseye on his back. The un-neccessary roughness penalty was a little iffy but the 15 yard face mask penalty was right on the money. You cant jerk someone to the ground by the face mask without being penalized PERIOD.

I almost thought for a second Gibbs was gonna go for that last play on 4th and 1 given the uncertainty of Hall's ability to kick a long fg comfortably. I'm very surprised by the lack of involvement of Cooley and hope that Brunell learns from this game to throw lobs on the screens a bit higher. The team should have won but it's not one of those completely discouraging losses that the team can't bounce back from.

Anybody know if Andre Carter even made a tackle? Where was he? For that matter, where was the whole defenseive line? Where was Joe "Mouth Juice" and where was Corn G? yeeshh

Yeah, it was a sad night: Gibbs gets outcoached by Brad Childress; we enter the season with a kicker whose range is 27 yards, and we have a QB who throws the ball away on third down several times and is upstaged by someone a couple years older than he. It could be a long year if things don't chanhge quickly. Did Andre Carter even play? I didn't hear his name once.

Brunnell was ineffective. Ous defense was lacking against a medicore offense. The only reason we did not give up more points was because of Viking penalties. I mean, their best WR got busted for DUI and their starting safety wasn't playing. This was our game for the taking. So, so disappointing.

Hall is a POS...I'm not saying we cut him now but when the off-season comes, we should definitely look for a long term replacement.

bottom line-to many lost opportunities in red zone.hall shouldnt even been in that situation.also terrilble playcalling;if we had kept same playbook as last year we win.not enough down field passes.at least portis looked healty

My one big question was, they give Taylor a pentaly for hitting a defenseless reciever, yet Lloyd goes up to get a ball and their safety hits him in the back of the head with a forearm yet nothing is called? That saves us 20 seconds and we are 15 yards ahead, which means we have better chance of getting that feild goal or TD....

I hate that refs are targeting a hard hitting Sean Taylor... totally crap!

I was amazed at that non-call.

Taylor would be called on that 10 out of 10 times.

He gives a shoulder to Robinson going out of bounds and he gets flagged... I don't get it. He's a marked man, I don't care what Theismann says.

I hate that refs are targeting a hard hitting Sean Taylor... totally crap!I have to totally agree with that...I just don't get the refs at all. What ever happened to being objective? I honestly think they were waiting for Taylor to make the controversial call. That play on Lloyd was crap.
