Random Thoughts...

-- Does Patrick Ramsey make that boneheaded throw if he had been the starter since Week 1 ??



Short answer? Yes.

--

-- Washington is 4-0 when Portis carries the ball 30 times or more, and 0-9 when he doesn't. What part of this fact is so hard for Gibbs to understand? Is this what we gave up Champ Bailey and a second round draft choice for?

Sure, why doesn't he just start the game with 30 Clinton Portis runs to get it all locked up? Sounds simple enough.


--
-- What the hell is it with Redskin fans who wear green at a home game against the Philadelpia Eagles?



It's simple - they are afraid of getting beat up by the legion of Eagles fans who came to the game. So they wear green and when the Eagles fans look at them funny, they pretend to cheer for Philly.

-- Before we go crazy with the "we're turning the corner" threads, and "game positives" posts, just remember: the offense only scored after a 70 yard kickoff return that put the ball at the 7, and after a rare turnover forced by our defense.



Hey - we are averaging 4 yards per pass attempt. You can't argue with that. If we were averaging 1 or 2 yards an attempt, you might have a point.

Short answer? Yes.

Give me a longer answer. Why do you think he still would have thrown such an ill-advised pass, assuming he would have had 12 weeks of prior experience?

Obviously, the point was that Portis isn't carrying the ball enough especially against a defensive line that wasn't great at stopping the run all year, and at one point during the game was missing 3 starters.

Please tell me you were being facetious. My sarcasm meter is a little off today.

Yeah lord forbid we say anything positive about this team whatsoever...some people might mistake us for Redskins fans.

I agree skinsguy.

I think we're all well aware that our record is 4-9 and we're yet again not headed to the playoffs. That being said there are still positives that can be taken from this season.

Saying something positive about a player doesn't mean one's view of the team as a whole is clouded.

Hell yeah! there are some positives. If you look where we were at this time last year, to this year, were leaps and bounds. Last year we showed little improvment over the course of the year, when this year I think we have. Our record may not show it, but we have.

only losers look at the positives when the scoreboard says otherwise. LOL Mattyk72-Forum Loser. :joke:

illdefined, you think 7 more Portis carries would have won us the game? I don't. That's one of those stats that means absolutely nothing. Next game we'll run him 30 times straight at the begining of the game to ensure a victory!
I think one more Portis carry could have won us the game - if it was in place of the INT with 1:54 left.

+hey, im not sure how to start a new thread... but does anyone have an idea of who the redskins will/shouold take in the draft. i know its a while off, but just wondering
