Gameday Thread: Browns vs. Redskins

I am out of the loop here but what is the deal with all the flags so far this year?

Two thoughts, maybe 3, from the game.

1st, it was the worst (most boring) preseason game I have been to. I go to one, maybe two, a year and this one was by a great margin the worst. The flags spoiled any flow of the game, and even when it gave us a first down, it just felt sloppy. And the stadium looked to be half empty (I don't know what the official tally was, but around my seats in the 2nd level there were 3 or 4 empties for every 1 that had someone). And that was at half time. I left at the beginning of the 4th quarter, and all the cars around my parking spot were gone by the time I got to my car.

2nd, it is really funny that most Skins fans will acknowledge that RGIII needs to not be stupid on runs, but one of the loudest cheers, including some Oh Yeah Way to Go's, was on RGIII's run where he got triple teamed before going out of bounds. You could feel it electrify the stadium like a defibrillator on a dead man's chest. Hard to convince him not to do it, when he hears the stadium's intensity go up as he's running.

and the extra point, well there are no more long extra points, ours was the last game for that experiment for this year. Now can we get back to regular football, with regular refereeing. All those preseason pranks from the NFL can back in the closet till next year thank you.

I lost count of all the flags but there were 8 thrown in the 1st Q alone. I saw one on Murphy that was pathetic. He was falling down near the QB's legs and they threw a flag. What's he suppose to do? Stop his fall in mid air? These zebras need to cool it. No one is there to see them throw flags.

Positives: 1. Defense continues to do what they should be doing against these teams with below averge QB play, dominate. 2. Our WRs are the best unit on the team. 3. Kerrigan and Rak look ready 4. CB play has been very good at every level. 5. Rambo and Ryan Grant I thought were standouts last night on their second units. Breeland too.

Negative: 1. RG3 bad hits, still needs to throw the ball away. Timing looks off with WR group. 2. Interior Oline had some problem with the fat boys of Cleveland. Saw Chester and Kory get dominated several times. 3. Turnovers 4. Helu had a terrible game...missed a block in protection, dropped a pass and got folded up too easy several times.




This penalty bullshit is enough, f*ck this

Yeah I can see where he probably gets a kick out of running and enjoys the contact to a degree too, but he's gotta wise up already. He does us no good sitting on the bench injured.

I think Johnny got really frustrated that he was the 4th best QB out there last night. Maybe 5th best if you count Sexy Rexy.

I don't know man... Hoyer was pretty bad too. He was throwing passes all over the place. But whatever, f*ck Johnny Foosball. I was a fan of his until that clown actually flipped off our sideline. WTF? And people talk about RG's character? LMAO.

Man, does Ryan Grant look good out there or what? That TD catch was just smooth all the way. Great move off the line. Heard he's been getting some reps with the ones in practice.

Rambo and Breeland made some good plays as well.

On another note that bomb to Roberts was a beauty, nice grab by Roberts too.

Grant is silky smooth, makes it look easy. I'm really excited about this kid long term.

This is a good wrap up of Griffins night.

BR nicked picked the Roberts throw. Looking at I don't know where else he good have placed it.

Someone said a while back that "Robert Griffin needs to understand he cant have a huge gain or a score on every play."
Hes showing that mentality now and better wise up or we will be drafting a new QB because he wont have any ACLs left to repair.
Learn to slide properly FFS, my Tee ballers could slide better than him.

Glad to see the defense looks better, not sure about the offense, but it looks like we have very good receivers. Luv Ryan Grant, looks like a future pro.

Keenan Robinson looked good.

Rambo looked better than last year.

Orakpo had one assist.....meh

And yes, Manziel is an idiot/douche bag.

"Point of emphasis" on illegal contact/holding with WRs and DBS.
