Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)

After watching that offense last night, not close to an easy win.

I don't know how anyone could be upset with a defense that didn't yield one touchdown.

You've been around long enough to know better.

TOTALLY
How many times did the D make a great stop for our ineffectual O? No...you cannot fault the D for this loss. The Defense provided many opportunities and the Cowboys Center provided many more. It is the Offense fault as this game should have been 48-18...Skins.
Rebuilding is a......rough road. I may not live through it

I was actually pretty damn proud of how the D played. Not giving up touchdowns, knocking the sh*t outta people, getting a couple turnovers. Really not much more you can ask for, unless your askin Kyle and Rex to **** up the offense, especially in the red zone or throwing a pick deep in your own territory, or special team effing up another kick.

I agree 100%

Jackson was particularly bad imo, it's like he wasn't even thinking about the possibility of felix getting the ball.

My question is why doesn't Zo get in the game after Rak goes out?

Look, shit happens. One bad play, one bad call. You can't win em all. Not the end of the world. This team will beat the Rams.

The Ravens, The Steelers...lots of really good defenses have been getting torched this year. I know this sounds crazy, but I think we're overreacting to one game.

Doesn't sound crazy at all, unless there were members of this forum who actually thought we were destined to go 16-0.

Big picture guys. In the big picture, we're 2-1, with 13 games left and a not-so-tough schedule. We're definitely not done yet.

Monday Night Countdown - What a total disgrace, deserves it's own smackdown post. The show is 90 minutes. Here's the breakdown:

- Highlights and general football talk - 15 minutes

- Homo lovefest - 40 minutes. Did you guys know he was playing with bad ribs?? Oh wait let's hear more about his ribs, but this time let's do it via bus interview!

- Vick - 20 minutes - never have I seen such concern for a BRUISED NON-THROWING hand for christ sake. But in-studio analysis is not enough, now let's cut to the field and see what Dilfer and Young think about Vick's hand!

- Peyton's injury - 10 minutes - Really??????? Peyton's out 'til 2012 - WE GET IT!!

- Redskins 'analysis' - 5 minutes - I put analysis in quotes because this was really just a 5-minute Rex bashing session. They all went around the circle cursing him and laughing at him, calling him a prius... quality stuff guys.

One of the benefits of playing on MNF is that all the pre-game BS hype is about YOUR team. ESPN has the rest of the week to discuss these stupid stories ad nauseum. Can't I see some Skins stuff? Give me a Shanny interview or maybe a Kerrigan. I'd even take a Hall interview where he shoots his big mouth off. Give me something!!

ESPN should be ashamed, pure fckn garbage. Time to get you outta there Smoot. Time to launch SSPN.

If the Redskins were more willing to offer their players up for interviews and features there would be more. Not going to divulge much more, but there was a story (a positive one) that got squashed by the team. Maybe some other time. But, and I've said this before, hate Jerry Jones all you want but as a media partner you won't find more cooperative owners than him or organizations than the Cowboys. Is it self-serving for them? Sure, but they know what they're doing

And maybe you missed where Young praised Rex

And on a national scale Vick, Peyton, and even Romo are much bigger deals.

The reality is that more people tune into their local regional sports network or even radio for pregame. You may be more likely to watch ESPN's pregame show the night the Redskins are playing than on other nights but it's a national show meant for a broad audience. I've said it before myself, if I want Redskins news I'm not going to ESPN as my primary source. There are better local options.

We will easly beat the Rams.

I like the optimism but don't we say that every year and lose. Seems like we play them every year.

And maybe you missed where Young praised Rex

Ya I saw it... then they immediately cut back to one of the guys saying "I'm still trying to process the Rex is a top-10 QB comment". They can't even give 2 seconds for the nice comment to sink in.

I understand everything you're saying, but I think it's wrong. It's insulting to turn on MNC when the Skins are playing, and have to see the whole 90 minutes devoted to our rivals. Romo's one thing but to spend so much time on Vick... it's a slap in the face. Guess we've kind of earned that treatment though.

I still say it's time for SSPN.
