Is Sean Taylor that good or...

Before we crucify GW or anyone else on the Skins D, let's remember that we held one of the most potent offenses in football to 28 points at home; not too shabby a job. Dallas has a lot of offensive threats, and the Skins were able to prevent Whitten and Jones from beating them, which is what you have to do- make their best players beat you. I'll take 28 points in Dallas anyday, especially with a significantly injured secondary.

Sean Taylor is that good. His absence cost us the Eagles game and this game. HE IS A FLAT OUT BALLER. A huge diffenrence maker on our team and we need him with Carlos out, and all those Carlos haters out there can suck it. That guy is a baller too. We do need another young CB to replace Springs when the time comes.

Sean Taylor is awesome and let's pay that man his money.

Yes, Sean Taylor is THAT good. No, Sean Taylor cannot be replaced [neither can Fletcher-Baker].

And yes, Dallas is THAT good, too.

Williams likes Prioleau because he is versatile, can play safety and corner and be decent. Yes, he misplayed TO a couple of times.

There is a reason why Vernon Fox, Reed Douty and Prioleau are reserves and you saw it. They can handle ordinary receivers, but struggle -- like everyone else -- against the elite.

The Redskins showed a lot of "team" today. Teams leverage their strengths to overcome their weaknesses. Team Redskins almost got it done. If they play like that the rest of the season, there will be a post-season.Great post. Our backups at safety are adequate most of the time, but will be exploited by elite QBs/WRs. TO and Randy Moss have NEVER had a big game against the Skins with Taylor patrolling the middle - look it up. Yes, he's that good.

As I sat there watching TO catch those passes, all I could think of was, "this would not be happening with #21 back there."

The one thing that really got me pissed was that pathetic attempt at a tackle by Prioleau (sp?) on the sideline. I know TO has done that to a lot of people but it was pretty sad.

Oh well, time to wint 6 straight and make the playoffs!

reed doughretys play on crayton when he tackled him before the ball got there was a prime example of how our secondary was MIA..positive notes were we did get pressure on romo he just stood in the pocket and got a few balls deep

ST is that good, and in this close the definite difference between a win and a loss. One positive, I can't wait to see them in Landover with a healthy Sean Taylor!!!!

Let us not forget how fortunate the Cowpukes are...THREE bad shotgun snaps all bounced right into their hands on THREE different occassions. Guys, that is just plain lucky for that kind of shit to happen THREE times and not turn the ball over.

I'd quote myself, but I'm too lazy to track down my own post.

Taylor is spectacular. His range makes QBs fearful of even looking his way. The only way he gets thrown on is if the QB is dead sure his man is open. When Taylor is playing, there's no such thing as QBs launching one up and letting the WR make a play. Taylor even scared Brady from going deep to Randy Moss, the best leaper at WR in the league.

Our backups at safety are awful. As I've said previously, this is where Gibbs is to be blamed. When you don't have mid-round picks as a result of trading them away, you end up with crappy depth.

Great coaching job by Gibbs and company yesterday, but that player acquisition... yuck. So far we haven't traded any 2008 picks though, so that is very significant.

Taylor is that good. He would have been the difference maker yesterday.

F... injuries!

In addition, if Kendall doesn't play 80% of our snaps this season, the Jets get our 2008 5th round pick. Assuming that he will stay healthy, and reaches 80%, the Jets get our 2009 4th round pick instead.
