Where are all the Springs bashers now?

[quote=GTripp0012;503392]Zorn's call to not run it and then kick the FG was horrific. No faith in the offense.

It's unfortunate, but at least the offense found it's stride today.[/quote]

I liked the play call but you only make that call knowing you go for it if you don't get the first or score. Why we kicked is baffling to me. I think a little of Holmgren's poor game management must have seeped in.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;503396]which call?[/quote]The forward progress no-call on Betts. I know they're told not to have a quick whistle, but if you [I]never[/I] blow the whistle, it can change games.

Seatle was holding all day. Almost every run play someone was holding. On kick offs I counted more push in the backs all day then I can count on one hand.

Oh and go Cardinals.

[quote=skinsnut;503398]I love the win, but to barely beat seattle doesn't bode well for our chances to make the playoffs[/quote]

Why? Is this figure skating, are some Russian judges scoring our performance? A win is a win is a win.

I told you, But welcome back Springs and welcome a win any win against anybody.

Which means you call a QB sneak.

You can't have a plan on the 3rd down call, and then totally change your mind on the 4th down call. That's ridiculous.

I noticed it a lot too. Not the normal no-call holds but a lot of just plain bad holds. The big Morris run in the first half came off of a big hold on Smoot. It was out in the open and obvious. They didn't call a hold all day did they?

[quote=SouperMeister;503395]A win is a win, but none come easy for this team. At least we're still in the hunt. If we can win one of either NY or Baltimore, that would be a HUGE plus.[/quote]

Right now we can't afford to lose, we're hanging on to that 6th playoff spot with Dallas (7-4), Minny (6-5), and Atlanta (6-4) lurking. Dallas is playing an easy game at home vs. Seattle; Atlanta is playing @ San Diego, which is prob not bad since SD just got some relieve by the Denver loss so hopefully they'll be fired up; and Minnsota has an easy game @ Detroit. We slip, and these teams can grab that spot.

I agree. Betts forward progress had been stopped. 3 Seatle players hit him after wards and I was wondering why the refs had not blown the call dead. instead they allow the players to keep hitting him and lose the ball.

The refs are as bad as I've ever seen them.

Yeah I am jusr surprised with Zorn's proven agressiveness that we didn't go for 4th and 6 inches. Really surprised me.

I hope him getting beat by a 35 yr. old Branch was a fluke.

Re: The official Skins/Seahawks game thread
 

Good that we won. Portis is a beast and Jason was pretty efficient. Defense was a little shaky at times but they sure did come through when it was important!
