Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins at Eagles)

Ummmmmm, who the hell was EVER disputing that? Whoever was needs to stop listening to Pink Floyd and swilling a gallon of vodka while sitting in a cold bathtub with slit wrists.............yeah.

Well, I was just responding to this

Worst? How can you say that after the last game. I mean no doubt the fan base in general doesn't like him, but to say he's the worst Center in the league, or starting Center for that matter is a bit of an overstatement. Scout's Inc has him tied as the 18th best Center in the league. Sounds about right to me.

I don't know about the worst center but certainly the worst 4.1 million dollars a year center in the league.

Hey guys, I'm posting today to eat CROW. After the Rams game, I posted some pretty depressing thoughts about this team and I seriously wondered how they would ever win another game this year.

Likewise.

Really impressed and happy with this win. Looks like we'll be that team that can literally win or lose any game any week.

Don't like to talk too much smack after a win but here's what I got:

- "Holding, number 74 offense. 10 yard penalty, repeat x down..."

- "Before the snap, number 74 offense. 5 yard penalty, repeat x down..."

- I can't believe I still have to hear this crap every game. But I will admit, Heyer is so bad, I'm starting to like him, kinda like George Costanza said: "She just dislikes me so much, it's irresistable."

- I won't lose any sleep if I never see Buchanon on the field again.

- We SERIOUSLY need the Red Snapper back. We haven't had an easy FG or PAT attempt all year.

- Los, Los, Los... It's beyond joking already. One of the most amazing things I've seen in my life. His nickname should be 0/100.

Rabach is garbage period...

Bidwell had a terrible game, where is his "smackdown"?

I just try to get the ball rolling, then everyone else can pick up with their own smackdowns.

That said, I simply forgot to mention Bidwell.

I haven't read all the way through this thread -- but a few things I noticed.

1) Big props to Haynesworth. While he's made some good plays all season, he was great yesterday. Especially on 3rd down. Keep putting this guy in the game, he's a difference maker.

2) Defense played better. I like seeing more 4-3 looks than 3-4. We simply don't have an NT on this team and we don't have the LBs to pull off the scheme. I like us out of it from time to time, but 4-3 base -- for now.

3) Orakpo -- I know you're getting held man, but the best get held and still get sacks. Time to have some production. If I'm Shanny Im going to the officials before the game and asking them to watch the LT for holding on Rak -- but he still needs to fight through.

4) Overall, an ugly win. McNabb completed 8 passes. That shit won't fly. For a second I thought Joe Gibbs took over play calling for the 2nd half of the game. Glad to get out of Philly with a win -- but like we should have won the Texans game (that dude dropped the ball) we should have lost this game (Eagles WR [avant?] dropped a ball that was right in his hands. They should have never even been in position for a late game drive to win it.

Holding calls are just as good as sacks if you ask me.

Yes they are...they are certainly better than nothing. Rak has been killing it all season long. By the time the season is over I'm sure he'll have Pro-Bowl numbers and let's not forget he plays LB lot.

Part of me wishes there were two options on holding. 15 yard penalty or 5 yard penalty with loss o down (edit: As they say in the Irish NFL league).
