Bonehead play of the week goes to...

[skinsfan69]

I saw that. Dumb ass ran out of bounds on 4th down. He wouldn't have picked it up anyway. But what Ronnie Brown did was waaaay worse. He costed them points w/ that silly ass play.

I would see it like FJones' play cost them a shot at the game. Not a great shot, but still he ended any hope, and I do think he could have picked up the 1st down, and given them 4 shots at the endzone. Both moves were bonehead, but FJones' move was worse in my books.

Tim Hightower for predicting out loud to the media that the Redskins will be in the Super Bowl....

What the hell? With ATV looking solid, TH may have some time on his hands. Maybe he is training for QB?

Its not so crazy of a prediction. If Grossman gets and stays hot, the rest of the team is capable of playing with the best of the NFL this season. IMO

That's a gigantic IF, and that's why it's a pretty outlandish prediction. I don't have a problem with Hightower thinking we'll go to the Super Bowl. That's how I hope all the guys think. My issue is putting out there in the media. Creates an unnecessary stir.

That's the thing, the Bears proved that Grossman can crap the bed every other week and the team can still make the SB. I think this D and running game are BETTER than that Chicago team.

We just need him to have a few good games and a bunch of so-so games with some mistakes that aren't completely devastating to the scoreboard.

He's good for at least one INT and one fumble every game...the D knows this and steps it up.

Not sure that our D is better than that Chicago team. We have only played one team so far with a winning record (Giants) I am all for being pumped for our performance so far but I don't see us as a Super Bowl team at all yet. (total reverse jinx in effect here)

Oh no the horror, someone showing some confidence in their team.

Everyone laughed when Grossman predicted we'd win the division, doesn't seem as funny now.

At least he's 1/1 with his predictions so far.

Maybe one day a player should go out and say "we're going to be mediocre this year." I bet that probably doesn't get much coverage.

The Skins are enjoying their success and should be. They deserve it!

I'm all about confidence. I'm not all about Super Bowl declarations to the media. You can believe in your team and do it amongst yourselves. I'm just not a fan of spouting to the microphone. I always have and always will enjoy when the teams I cheer for play things close to the vest.

Seriously...I don't understand why it's such a negative thing to say that he thinks his team will be in the Super Bowl. Now, I don't necessarily agree with him because I don't know if Rex can take this team that far, but I'm really glad he's got confidence and it seems like this team finally has some swagger.

Also, and I don't really play this card too often, but the guy's been to a Super Bowl before and maybe he knows what it takes to get there, so I thinks it's pretty cool that he said it.

Finally, re: the OP, what Felix did was inexcusable, but what the hell was that playcall?! It was 4th and 20 and Romo checks it down to him, now I'm not saying he should have gone out of bounds, but I didn't see anyone for him to pitch it to, so what was the plan for that play? I feel like the entire team thought it was 3rd down, coaches included, and just wanted to get a few yards to make 4th more manageable. If that's my last playcall, I'm going with a hook and ladder or something...I don't know what the hell was going on there, but it was definitely ALL bad.

I'm not trying to take the blame from Felix, but the whole play was a bit of a head scratcher for me.
