Re: team hard to take
I hate to break it to the original post, but this hasn't been their normal week of preparation. I think our season is probably over. Losing Sean Taylor is like losing a Tom Brady. During the field goal, all I could picture is Taylor coming across and blocking the kick and running it to the house. We played the best we could.

Re: team hard to take
I wait every week for the mental screw up and it finally came in a 2nd time-out by Joe Gibbs in the end. Even I, a non $5 million a year coach knew we could not call a 2nd timeout after calling the first one!!!! How do we continue to mentally screw up week after week. You are 67 years old and afre past your time Joe Gibbs, please step away!!!!

Re: team hard to take
Why didnt the skins keep it open in the 4th quarter? I hate when we have a lead and try to run the clock out from 8 minutes on in the 4th, when we should be spreading the field picking up 1st downs like we do all first half of most games. Portis was averaging 2 ypc and they kept feeding him the balll in the 4th, I would have like to see ladell betts get a few reps, and throw some play action. We lose bc our offense is never on the field in the 2nd half and we let oppenents get into a rhtythm offensively.

Re: team hard to take
Man are you guys serious??? Whine moan and complain about losing a football game TODAY???
I remember my first GREAT Redskins team and the names Riggins and Theisman were used back then...others remember Charlie Casserly or Chris Hamburger leading good Redskins teams. I also remember when Gibbs was 0 and 5 his first season and some said he should be fired then and there. Do y'all have an opinion about that? Do y'all even remember that? I can't believe how much this has made me think about my own life and family and Sean Taylor's life and family...I played football and I couldn't imagine the pain of losing a teammate. Y'all are bitching about how little fun it is to be a Redskins' fan now. I'd bet about any amount of money it's no fun being a Redskins player/staff/family member 'round now either. They will grow closer through their loss. If that leads to winning football games then great. If that leads them to becoming closer to their families then that's even better. I never even met the guy and it's brought me to tears.

That is definitely not the only stupid thing i heard this week. Sometimes people don't think before they talk or do something. All of this has put me in such a bad mood. I just wanted to win this game so bad. It would have brought a sense of normalcy again. To lose a heart breaker that makes the playoffs seem so far away after such a horrible week is just devastating. Brud was right on in his thread he made before the game. I think i invested too much into this game. It wasn't about the playoffs or winning. It was about feeling better after such a bad week. |

Re: team hard to take
It's gets harder and harder to watch a team like this play football, coach gibbs should stick to racing, his glory days are over. I joined the warpath to see if their are as many disgruntled fans out there as me. Maybe next year should be the skins motto!

Re: team hard to take
Wow. If I didn't have a bar license to worry about I would have liked to have been there and thrown an elbow to the adam's apple. That guy/gal is an a**hole. No offense if that is a friend of yours.

Re: team hard to take
yeah, like i said, he really isn't someone i would consider a friend but we do have mutual friends. I didn't just let it go though. I gave him a mouth full and i consider myself a pretty chill person that doesn't really yell at people. He said he was sorry and what not but i left yelling at him. It was on monday. While yelling at him i told him that if sean died he would feel like a complete piece of shit. Haven't talked to or seen him since. Definitely someone that i don't respect.

Re: team hard to take
I really though they would of just rolled over the Bills today but they basically played the same game they played for most of the season.....get some yards....can't stuff it in the endzone (thanks Samuels)...then get a close lead and turn to conservatism and wait to the last play and hope you win....Portis had 25 carries for 50 yards........ummm.....doesn't that sound like a clue that the run wasn't working? we at least were moving the ball on the pass. We needed one more first down at the end of the game and what do we do...run on 3rd down....pathetic. I really don't see us winning one more game this season, this team just isn't that good.....I am reduced to hoping the Cowgirls do not win the Superbowl.......at least with the 2nd timeout fiasco, Gibbs will have to leave after this season. Thanks for the 3 Superbowls...but the game has passed you bye........you could tell this was a Gibbs called game......no "no huddle"....forcing the run when it wasn't working....and the same lame plays inside the red zone...
