I brought that up yesterday right after it happened, but got no comments. It looked like he gave Alex the "what was that?" look instead of paying attention to the interception and reacting accordingly.

Yep and then let the slowest mfer ever return it 101 yards.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1208017]So here is a legit Q,

Do the skins bring in Colin Kaepernick?

I mean who else is out there????[/quote]

That's just what we need is the media circus that would come with CK. Thats why no teams have picked him up.

I'd rather have him over Sanchez or Bradford

And you know who is showing up the game too...its a short drive for the Bigly Man on Campus.

Re: Texans Postgame
 

0.0% chance Kap gets signed here

Re: Texans Postgame
 

I actually am more for CK than I first was. First, it would create political correctness media spasms and that's always fun, the racist nickname skins are bringing in the sJw CK? We might actually get positive press for a minute or two.

Second, we aren't asking him to play right away, in fact if Colt stays healthy he likely never sees the field, but if he does hopefully he will have a few weeks to get ready.

Sanchez would be my next option, but ugh.

Kaepernick has a lot more baggage and issues over and above the media circus. I detailed some of them in another thread. He also has been out of the NFL for just shy of 2 years. He was also branded some one who did not work hard on his deficiencies, interested in mostly on strength and fitness drills, not the mental part of the game. He is the last person that could come in and quickly pick up an offense. It was well known that Jim Harbaugh ran a limited playbook because of Kap.

Re: Texans Postgame
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;1208273]It’s called being familiar with the offense, that why I wanted Colt in there. Smith was on his 1st year with this offense and learning.[/quote]

I'm just not buying that excuse anymore. We have too more QBs in the league coming in and immediately putting up numbers. Adam Theilan didn't need a lot of time with Cousins.

Like Jay said prior to the season, the team is built and the expectation was for Alex to come in and lead in the QB position.

Alex didn't seem to improve a bit through out the season. The Redskin receiving core isn't The Posse of course, but Alex was awful Sunday. He even made un-Alex like mistakes. His last play he took a 15 yard sack when a throwaway would have left Hopkins with a 40 yard field goal attempt. No sure what was going on with him.

I will say and admit the Offense looked way better when Colt came in, guys were all of the sudden open and making plays. I have watched every pass Alex has had this yr on film, some were his fault but many were no separation so we will see what happens thursday in a Huge game.

A long, long time ago Colt QB'ed a prime time Dallas game, and proved to be a Dallas killer. I have hope he can do it again. With a lot of help from the D.

A long time ago in a land far away when I played football in High School and College, Reed's actions would have earned him to be embarrassed by the coaches repeatedly in front of teammates during film study, and earned some extra laps and wind sprints at the end of practice when the rest of the teammates got to hit the showers. I know hard core discipline of days gone by doesn't exist anymore at any level of sports, so I wonder what if anything happened to him for that?

Exactly!
Trey Quinn and his 31" vertical leap outplayed Josh Doctson and his 42" vertical right out of the gate.
We need to stop making excuses for guys that don't produce no matter how pretty they look doing it.

With that said, I should give credit to Preston Smith for making 2 big plays and actually getting pressure a handful of times. He sucks a little less this week.

Preston has come alive the last several weeks...we've needed it.

This whole AS injury, the trade, the bad extension, quality of play at that position....it just doesn't matter who else does great, until we get a decent QB, we aren't going anywhere. Scouts need to find us a good draft pick...fire Bruce.

Maybe Alex can hang around and groom the young QB, get us a Mahomes.

Re: Texans Postgame
 

Smith is improving as is RK weekly, that is huge. Allen and Payne have regressed and that is a worry

I don't know, there were a lot of dropped passes early in the game though. I mean that dropped pass by Davis was huge IMO.

I feel that the expectations for Alex were high, in terms of being able to sync with the offense and receivers. I mean, wasn't the knock on receivers in the previous seasons was that they would not get open or drop passes as well?

That being said, I think Colts' familiarity with the offense will be key, I just hope he is able to take care of the ball. And of course, stay healthy.

I could never figure Vernon out. For a guy who looks to be chiseled out of granite and runs freakishly fast for his size, it is too easy to knock the ball away from him, he rarely runs over people, and his blazing speed doesn't seem apparent on the field. This was even true in his younger days with the 49ers.

Also, prior to this year, he was pretty reliable as a receiver and filled in nicely whenever Reed was out.

I literally screamed at the TV when the dropped that pass. I mean, the pass hit him right in the hands, and he had some separation from the DB that was covering. It would definitely had been a huge gain, if not a TD score.

People underestimate how moments like this can have a huge effect on a game. It reminded me a lot of Nicholson's penalty that negated a 3rd down stop, and NO went off after this.

This dropped ball came after the Peterson TD, and I believe either the team had either stopped or held Houston to a FG and it was 10-7. They could have either taken the lead or tie the game then. I think it is a different ball game if that happens. But oh well.

I also cursed the refs out on the BOGUS hold on JNO. Fucking joke

How about when Doctson got blown up with no call. Still can't believe that one.

[quote=MTK;1208377]How about when Doctson got blown up with no call. Still can't believe that one.[/quote]

Deion Sanders said that was a horrible non call and he said if that was Hopkins we would have been flagged. Basically said Doc gets no respect from refs

Fabian was very good yesterday, shadowed Thomas all game and allowed 0 catches

It was ridiculous, Doctson got mugged by two DBs and nothing.

The play call was dumb to begin with, why would u throw an out route into double coverage anyway?

Every fucking ref on the field would have thrown a flag if it was Hopkins

The NFL has certain teams/players that get calls and certain teams that they approve blatant cheating against. We're the latter. It's a joke. If I wasn't addicted like a crack head to football I'd stop watching. Instead I just yell and curse then come back next week for more of the same.

Same here man, the Redskins literally never get the calls in the crunch time situations. Even Jay said "The ticky tack touch foul on JNo"

Perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that that was textbook pass interference. Game stolen right there.

[quote=MTK;1208377]How about when Doctson got blown up with no call. Still can't believe that one.[/quote]

Yes!! I've been able to get over the losses pretty easily this year but I'm still pissed about this one:mad: combine that with the phantom holding call on Norman it's such total bullshit,couldnt stand to watch the highlight shows but I doubt if either call got a mention.
The line held up better then I thought it would but still not opening the holes needed for AD to succeed{except on the goal line for this game}.I don't think Thompson or Crowder coming back is gonna make much difference,they werent doing that great anyway.
Both Smith and Colt made some heads up plays on getting away from the Texans pressure on a few snaps.
I think Colt will be able to do just as well as Smith,maybe better,but he's more likely to throw an interception also{takes more chances}
Colt is also injury prone, I will be surprised if he makes it thru the season,especially when the coach calls running plays for you and no backup qb on the sideline:cussing::coach::banghead:

[quote=skinsfaninok;1208402]The play call was dumb to begin with, why would u throw an out route into double coverage anyway?[/quote]

I could be way off but the first thing i thought when i saw that is that maybe Jay / Colt was hoping we'd get a pass interference penalty, that would have set us up within field goal scoring range.
