The official Skins/Seahawks game thread

anyone with an update on portis? was it a strain?

Love me some Portis too! Hope all is well! We NEED him!

It felt to me as though Springs didn't have the usual 'spring' in his step. The receivers seemed to outrun him, so I think he's not 100%, and thus not playing cornerback. Hopefully he'll be back to full speed by next game so he can play corner and solidify the pass defense.

stop saying we, you're not on the team...only if you are somehow on the payroll of the Redskins can you say 'we' or 'us'

Go away. You suck.

I gotta say I'm pleased with the grind it out tough running we did to finish them off. We've got to figure out a way to dominate games on the scoreboard the same way dominate them on the stat sheet, but I'll take a W on the road.

And Ladell Betts owes Shawn Springs a steak dinner for saving his ass with that nice INT after Betts fumbled.

1) Start throwing the ball around more to extend the # of plays in the game.

2) Have the coach go for it on more 4th downs.

Nice to come out of Starbucks Land with a win. We have a tough stretch between now and the end of the season.

I really like our pick up of DeAngelo Hall.

Not to question your spirit here, but I am sure we we be at least 10 pt underdogs. Seattle ran all over us...especially targeting our small ends.
I am sure the Gmen will do this too.
And remember....we need to score to win.
Revenge would be sweet...but looking at the teams we barely beat and the ones that stomped on us...it is just not a good pattern to look forward to.

I am just trying to be objective here.
It is easily the least likely game to win the rest of the season...and it may even be more difficult that our first playoff game...assuming we make it.

We barely beat a 2-8 team (now 2-9) and while the win is great, the team needs to make some major adjustment as they face a superior opponent. Other than the game against the Bengals (and possibly the game against the Skins), the Giants have shown to be a dominant team on both sides of the ball. The Redskins need to show up for all of their remaining games, and bring their "A" game. Right now the team is barely holding on to the 6th playoff spot, and every game from now on will determine whether we hold on to that spot or lose it to Dallas, Atlanta, or Minnesota.

1) Start throwing the ball around more to extend the # of plays in the game.

2) Have the coach go for it on more 4th downs.

This is a interesting point. Our game planning/play calling builds in about a 27 point ceiling for us right now.

All the great skins teams of the past have done three things very well. Run the ball, stop the run and pressure the qb. Seems like only one of the three is being done well this year.
