Homecoming / Houston Thread

Well he was having to run for his life earlier this season,their off line was playing bad,but like I said earlier they have found a balance and their line is playing better.The thing that scares me about Watson is if we are able to get pressure on him he is very capable of escaping it even with the 2 knee injuries.He's also capable of throwing 5 td passes in any given game,the Skins do not have that capability.

For sure.

If we get down by 7 for god sakes we never come back so its highly important to start out fast. If they drive the ball on us and get 7 early it could be a long day.

Empty seats and fan apathy goes much deeper than wins and losses. The current players and coaches can't be expected to understand how badly fans have been treated at Fedex Field by Dan Snyder and his stooges. There are many formerly rabid Redskins fans who truly hate Dan Snyder for what he has done to them, personally. It goes way back. Here is a portion of an article about such ill-treatment of fans written by Dan Steinberg of the WaPost in 2009:

"And now it's Mike Broderick, a longtime season ticket holder, who came to the Chiefs game with Dumb and Dumber (Snyder and Ceratto) signs, attracting a security official who threatened to seize his season tickets. The guard told Broderick he could either go to the security office, leave the stadium, or hand over the signs. So Broderick asked if he could put the image on a t-shirt instead.

'That would be kind of offensive,' the security official said.

'It's offensive to come to these games,' Broderick said he replied.

Broderick gave up the signs, and came back on Monday Night with new signs hidden under his jacket, and with t-shirts to match. The signs were about to be taken, as NFL Network cameras rolled live, and Broderick showed the security guy the team's old policy, printed in his telephone yellow pages, which he had brought as proof. Policy's been changed, he was told. Eventually, he said, security also made him turn his t-shirt inside-out, calling P.G. cops in for support. He said I could use his name, because his frustration overwhelms any fear of losing his seats.

'I'm to the point where I can't even give the stupid tickets away because people are so frustrated,' he said."

And there has been so much more disrespect and even bullying of fans, as described above in one case, throughout Snyder's tenure as owner. The negative feelings toward Snyder still linger today among some of those who were once among the most rabid of Skins fans but who now won't go to games because of their contempt for the team's owner.

If we beat Houston, I don't care if we give up 2000 yards and win 2-0.

This game is a great test. Hopefully the crowd can show up.

I love these grind out a win by any means possible games. I am old school, I wish they would bring back the head slap and the single bar face masks for QBs and kickers.

We have this big game and my daughter has a sports awards thing at 3 on Sunday. Who the hell has a sports award thing on Sunday and why would a cheerleader need to attend. She is 11, I guess she is going to get a participation award.

In Oklahoma most of their youth sports are on Sundays , so when I moved to NY and found out they are played Saturdays I was pumped.

I guess you could go old school and bring a transistor radio with an ear piece.
When my parents got divorced in the early 70's when I was 11 on weekend visits to my dad my grandma would take my sister and I to the mall on many a Sunday afternoon during football season. I had no interest in getting grandma to buy me stuff, just wanted to listen to the Ram games as in was in So Cal back then.

I'm not a big TV watcher so I don't think I have a way of recording the game. Can you record on a Blue Ray?
