Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

I feel sad today, after such a great start to only find out we were pretenders not contenders hurts.

Everyone here is pumped about a big game between Ravens/Steelers where we are playing for a draft spot. It just sucks.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

im pumped. to think about how badly we have been playing, and we still have a legit shot to make the playoffs. this game will pretty much define the redskins season

Wow, I love the support. Dude if we win today with Atlanta and Dallas losing were right back in it.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

For some reason, Rogers won't be starting and Hall will take over his place.. :doh:

Well, we're definitely not contenders, but that doesn't mean we can't squeak into the playoffs possibly. But at this point a win would be nice.

That's weird that Rogers got benched. Maybe they feel like D'Angelo is a better matchup vs Ocho-Cinco...

I don't understand the deal with Rogers. Anyone know what's up? Noticed Kelly is out but Davis is in. Hmmmmm.....

If Springs starts opposite Hall then I understand this. Rogers IMHO (and I know I'm gonna get lashed for this) is not on the level Springs and Hall are on. Hall puts himself in great position to defend and get picks. Springs is just an amazing athlete. I sort of think Rogers, as I said in another thread, is a moron. Sometimes he plays neither the receiver nor the ball - he's just running alongside someone like a dog or something. (Damn, now i'm really gonna get it).

Kelly has dropped passes and missed opportunities. Replacing him w/ Davis could mean some two TE sets! Be a great game to open things up.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

What a surprise, Malcolm Kelly inactive again. He must have aggravated a hangnail in practice this week.

:laughing2 Damn Goat! That's the "Blood Hound Package"! I agree, this would be a good game to open things up. Maybe we'll get a chance to see Davis the way he looks in practice. (Without the mistakes.) Could give us a glimpse of what they had in mind when they drafted him. Carlos has been a little critical of the coaching lately, maybe that has something to do with it.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

Good Sunday morning from the press box at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.

The inactives have been released by the Redskins, and the only surprise is that receiver Malcolm Kelly won't be in uniform. Kelly is a healthy scratch.

Who's out: QB Colt Brennan, Kelly, S Chris Horton, LB Marcus Washington, G Will Montgomery, T Jon Jansen, OL D'Anthony Batiste and DT Cornelius Griffin.

CB Shawn Springs will play, and DT Kedric Golston is back after missing a few games.

TE Fred Davis is back in uniform after sitting out three straight games.

The Redskins also say DeAngelo Hall is starting for Carlos Rogers, which is interesting, but I don't think it's a big deal.
taken from the washington times. interesting that kelly is a healthy scratch

right back in what? Who would we beat in the playoffs. Titans. Giants. Tampa?Dallas just handed it to us. It's nice that you are optimistic but as Skins fans we need to be realistic. I'd rather see us play some young talent. Move some vets around on the line and gain some perspective on next year. Sorry. I love the Skins to but it's time to get real.

He is very good at catching the ball when he gets his hands on it, but Rogers has consistently put himself in better position to make plays, but he has poor hands. If you look at a the passes defended stat, that's a pretty good indication of how often a DB is in position to make a play on the ball, and Rogers is among the leaders this season. Lastly, Hall's INT against Dallas was not the product of solid positioning, but was rather a severely underthrown ball by Romo. Hall was beaten to the inside by TO, and better throw would have resulted in a big play for Dallas.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

unbelieveable

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

it's not really surprising at this point

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

so predictable...

I think we lose EVERY game when we take the ball first.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

I do believe that should have been a penalty since driving your helmet into your opponent's facemask is illegal.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

damn it

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

ne one have a stat on that?

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

absolute garbage

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

cooley sure does seem to fumble a lot for a tight end

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

Wtf!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

just another day for the shitty ass redskins

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

lovely start

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

sucks.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

I'm throwing in the towel for this season...

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

Come on Skins!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

i seriously think it has to do with getting the ball first....

sum how sum way.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

Do we start it now? We need a new coach and qb
Waiting on that thread

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

Man I just don't even know what to expect any more. We're 5 minutes into the game, turned it over and now down 7 to a 1-11-1 team...

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

i dont know about giving up on them honestly.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

It's 7 points. Now if the Cin. scores 20 pts.... then i'll be a bit more worried. That was just a bad turnover deep in their own territory.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

This team sure has been hard to watch for the past few weeks. They better turn the corner quick. I'm afraid if they have a couple more bad bounces, they are just going to give up on the season.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

No one gives new life to dead teams like the Washington Redskins. Alright, lets get out of this crap!

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

lol...pathetic

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

Well I think we trailed in all the games we won, So we got that part down. I just don't know I wanted stabillty so bad and for Zorn to get atleast a couple years but this is just awful.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

Definitely Interference!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

And I'll tell you who the Redskin of the year is it's Rock Cartwright he's not that fast but is still among the league leaders in returns and he's been out most consistent all year without a doubt, Here's to Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

of course the refs wouldnt call that shit, they fuccin blow.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread
 

good punt
