skinsguy 09-20-2012, 11:54 AM Making Josh Morgan out to be the scapegoat for losing the game by benching him is not the proper way to go about this. I think the guilt and the embarrassment, not to mention the mindless death threats he's gotten, are all punishment enough. He's a smart guy and has not had a history of being undisciplined. His one mistake was not why the 'skins lost the game. If the defense hadn't been Swiss cheese throughout the ballgame, Morgan's mistake would have been a moot point. Heck, you guys would have applauded him for standing up to Finnegan. Yes, it was stupid, but time to let it go. The 'skins offense needs Morgan, and I think Morgan's gonna make up for his mistake.
I betcha $100 Gary Clark probably would have done the same thing.

I agree with you about everything you said. it's just gary clark was so good for us and didn't get the credit he deserves. Clark played for a long time and I never heard of him getting into any incidents.
scowan 09-20-2012, 12:16 PM Anything at the end of a game stands out as THE play that won or lost the game, but the bottom line is that even without a thrown ball by Morgan, Cundiff STILL has to make a 48 yarder to TIE and then all you haters are saying that with over a minute left in the game and timeouts remaining that the Rams were not going to get within FG range and win it outright. Somehow I think Amendola would have caught 3 more balls and gone for over 200 yards and the Rams may have won anyway. In the second half other than Fletcher's two individually caused turnovers, the Skins were doing nothing to stop the Rams. Its just time to move on.

If Garçon is still unhealthy you can't bench him.

No Clark never got into any accidents that I remember, but he was a fire cracker. Steve Smith reminds me a lot of Gary Clark. He probably had so much respect among defensive backs in the league back then that they knew if they tried anything on him, he was gonna burn them deep.
Morgan still has to prove himself, but I think this will be a positive learning experience for him.
The Goat 09-20-2012, 02:03 PM I wouldnt even follow through with my threat to not be a fan anymore, let alone threaten someone on twitter. I was really upset in that moment. Given that local and national media have been asking the exact same question for 4 days though, i dont know how far out in left field i was when i started this. I've always got Rodney Harrison i guess.
Don't sweat it. I think Morgan should sit awhile. He was already losing his cool at the top of the 4th qtr, and the mistake he made not getting the 1st down is reason alone to sit him.
Not sure we'd miss him either, even if Garcon sits again. We need to get Davis, Hankerson and Moss the ball. Robinson too.
SmootSmack 09-20-2012, 02:15 PM People seem to be ignoring how solid Morgan's blocking has been. I hope he scores the game winner on Sunday and points two middle fingers up at the crowd

well, that will mos def get him a suspension. but i agree. His game has been solid, alot of knee jerk reaction by the fans, I thought it would have simmered my Monday morning.

Either that, or he could throw the ball at the fans as a kind of F**K YOU with just over a minute left like last week, prompting the replacement refs to throw another flag, giving the other team position AT the 35 this time, thus giving them the time to move into field goal range and lose the game for us again.
F Josh Morgan. I still don't see the hype. I see nothing that he does that Moss, Robinson or Hankerson couldn't do.
CultBrennan59 09-20-2012, 02:29 PM I guarantee you all that Josh Morgan will never make another bone headed play for the rest of his time here in Washington. GUARANTEE!
