Redskins vs. Patriots Game Day Thread

[Hail to the Redskins]

Unusual stats of the day....

Gano 5-for-5 today on FG and EPs... while Rocca averaged only 31.3 per punt.

Our 2nd/3rd string O-Line:
170 yards rushing, 2 sacks allowed (one was completely all Grossman). Very good numbers for that unit today.

Man, doesn't take long to get pounced on for a mistake on this site.

You know what they say about assuming...

Retraction accepted

Hey I'll be the first to admit it, I don't want to win again this year, call me what u want but this team needs all of
The top picks it can get

[tc2deuce]

Yeah, I have to keep telling myself to suck it up and cheer for more losses. I really wanted to beat the Pats thou!!

This season is lost. I'm already looking forward to the offseason. I'm looking forward already to free agency and key selections in the draft. The question that is on everyone's mind is, if the Redskins draft a QB, which one will they draft? I don't think the Redskins could go wrong with RG3, Matt Barkley, or Andrew Luck. The question is, which of these top prospects will they draft?

In my most honest opinion, while Luck is pro ready, he's not the best QB in this draft. Robert Griffin III is the best QB.

Win and worry about the draft later. Do whatever is necessary to get the guy you want when the time comes. Check to make sure the dude isn't a pot head BTW.

I'll take door #2 please. I really don't think Luck, Barkley OR RGIII will be there at 15.

Today was fine with me. Hell yes I wanted to beat New England and wouldn't have been mad if we'd won, obviously... but I can live with today's result the rest of the way.

We need that pick in the worst way.

Trading up for Luck may not be possible, but trading up for another top QBs is. You can't only depend on a losing record to get you the pick you need, the team may need to trade up in order to get their QB period. I think people need to realize that trading up is a possibility.

Is RG 3 even pro ready?

I love people who think loosing will make you better. It never has and never will. The team at the top did not get there from loosing. The reason I love that thinking is because I own a business and the more loosers I have to compete against the easier it is for me to be a winner.

Oh, the Colts would disagree. They never would've gotten Peyton Manning if they didn't have that first overall pick.

I just saw the call on Fletcher for hitting Brady, what a damn joke!!!

Also be sure that he would rather spend time in the film room/weight room than in hot tubs with "sweet young things". [/Matt Leinart]


Also make sure he does not have a gambling problem. [/Art Schlichter]


Also make sure he will not go totally wild after excaping out from under the dominance of an overbearing father. [/Todd Marinovich]


Also make sure he does not have the personality of doorknob. [/Ryan Leaf]

Well the Pats might say that while the Colts spent all their money building a team to win one SB they spent their time and money on allot of players to win 3 SB's. We could also pick out GB and Arron Gogers 24th pick. Maybe then we could talk about Drew Brees picked in the second round. Other then the Manning boys none of the SB winning QB's have been picked in the top ten. The closes is Big Ben at 11th then Arron Rogers at 24th and the others where not even drafted in the first round. So history is on my side. Loosers loose and winners win. You never get to the top by loosing.
