Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Cowboys)

I had my company Xmas party last night, and I only saw a total of maybe a quarter of the game. And you know what? I couldn't have cared less. It was kind of weird. Playing Dallas at home and I wasn't bothered one bit by the fact that I missed the game. Tells you where we're at as a team.

My smackdown goes to the 2009 Redskins' season. Thanks for nothing.

Playing in your last home game against your archrival who can clinch the playoffs with a win... and you fail to score a single effing point???

Joe Theisman said this morning on the radio that he could see nearly half of this team not returning for 2010. God I hope he's right.


You know man I've been a DIEHARD skins fan my whole life.. And I can relate to what you just said.. I did watch the game because my inlaws are cowboys fans and I always watch these teams play, but I really didn't care that we were so bad, hell we have been bad for 15 years or so! I really don't know what to think about this team anymore, will the skins ever be back into the SB? I'm sure they will eventually but my god we have to rebuild yet again. I mean what happens if Shanny and Allen don't turn this around asap? How much more can US skins fans take of losing football?

You like him better than Spikes?

I'm a gator fan and YES McLain will be better than spikes..

What if the best player available for those two picks are TE and WR?
Do we pull a Vinny and draft them?
I say no. No , I would not go WR - TE . What I'am saying is this , I would pick a HOF type RB or DL as opposed to a Tackle that I believed was an above average T . I would 1st , bring in 2-3 OL in F/A , then I would not have to use " all of my pics " on one position . I will put it this way , if in rd 2 I have to choose between D.Dockery and B. Sanders ... I draft Sanders .

These last two games looked more like the Pre-Lewis Skins, and Smoot had made the comment that Allen may have let Zorn call all the shots for the Giants game. Can anyone confirm that. Really I am just curious about if Lewis was involved in these two losses, or if his role had been curtailed.


The team sucks period. You act like Sherm Lewis could turn things around for the long haul. You could have brought VInce Lombardi back via time machine and these bums would still suck. WE have very few bona fide stars on our team with Cooley hurt and Portis probably looking at possible early retirement. On top of that we have absolutely no depth at the skilled positions. Mr. Allen is going to blow this franchise up and start anew I think.

Unless theres is an AP type running back in the draft, I'm good with drafting a running back in the 1st round. I feel like you can plug just about anyone in there and if the holes are good, they'll run well. I really hope next year we have a solid change of pace back, not someone who is a mirror image of our starter.


Rather have more of a bruiser like Westbrook or another Portis. Peterson had only a few really good games this season. He is quick as hell, but maybe too quick. Half the time he doesn't hit the holes his line has for him or he is just too quick for his line to make the holes for him yet. The best Skins RB I can think of as a prototype for what I would like to see us get is a Stephen Davis clone.

1994 we did not win a divisional game.

I think we need to bring an end to this ganthers experiment.

What would you have us do? We still have 1 game left. Honestly he's running better then Rock Cartwright. Mason....I might agree with you on. He's had his chance. I gave him more time then most on this site.

If he can get his blocking down he might turn out to be a great runner. Wait....I think I said that about Mason also. LOL. Maybe Shanahan with his infinite wisdom and newer updated blocking scheme will get more out of both of them. Plus Alridge.

I think he keeps 5 guys on Offense and 7 on Defense...

1. Dockery
2. Devin Thomas
3. Fred Davis
4. M. Mitchell
5. C.Rabach

1.London Fletcher
2. AH
3. Orakpo
4. Hall
5. McIntosh
6. Horton
7. Landry (MAYBE)

It was the first Skins game I haven't watched in a long, long time. I had to be at this Xmas party, so I didn't have much of a choice anyway, but it simply didn't bother me at all that I was missing the game.

Bruce Allen is no Vinny Cerrato, thank god. Yeah, we're gonna have to rebuild, but it's better than spending an entire decade hanging on the notion that we're a player or two away. We'll be alright. I actually have faith now that Vinny is gone.

The only RB I would even consider is CJ Spiller

Need to expand your horizon my friend. Keep the Skins as your fav, but start embracing the NHL. YOur Caps are a fine team. Unless they meet the Red Wings in the Cup, I cheer for the Caps and I am in Detroit. Face it, even if Bruce and Mike are successful, it might take 4 seasons to see the real results. In the meantime split the time with the Caps til that time comes. At least the Caps earn their money and show some pride!!!!!!!
