HAIL!

Oh - new post already. Rok AUN!

Mea cupla -- BRLLIANT.

Run Portis Run!

Hail... to the Geelong Cats, kost52's favourite AFL squad, for absolutely crushing Kansas in their AFL Finals opener today, or yesterday, or tomorrow.

And now, HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!

thanks for the mea culpa on the montgomey issue

Great work, Dik. Very weird.

chris Larry, you know the Skins coaching staff only moved Monty to start because J-La said he wasn't the starter. They want to spite him.

I'm not going to lie... I haven't been this excited about a first game in a long time. HAIL TO EM.

10th!

10th!

Damn I can't wait for CP to run up 100 yards today to shut JLC the hell up.

Don't forget to call Papa John's on Monday. lol

Back to work everyone!

Finally! Game day. LUST FOR MAYHEM! HTTR!

Jasno with the 'mea cupla'. Love it!

I am SO excited!

HTTR!

Great to have fox nfl back on.

All these fox pregame folks are ooggling over new england to win the suberbowl... i don't understand how everyone just writes off indy or for that matter san diego is still an impressive team norv not withstanding

Random question... any of you guys know why 8 players have to listed as 'inactive' on sundays?

If it's me and I am facing this defense in this heat in this game, I am riding Betts. He was the second most productive back in the NFL in the final 7-8 weeks of last season and he's in great shape and worked hard all preseason.--JASNO

Consider this. The last 7-8 weeks of last year Bette was running behind a finely tooled machine. The starting OLine had played together long enough to mesh nicely.

However, this year's OLine isn't close to there yet, which means a back's individual skills are more critical. If the rust is gone and he's healthy, Portis is far and away the more individually skilled back. He's into his cuts faster, hits the hole quicker, and has burst enough to turn a short gain into a 20 yarder, or go to the house.

With that in mind, I ride Portis harder than I might were the line ready to go. If Portis still has rust, then the skins will be dependent on Betts, who may not be able to overcome the Oline's shortcomings--as was shown in the preseason.

With that thought in mind, I suspect the Skins will put the threat of the long ball in the minds of the Fish early, a deep bomblet or two to Moss and The Wide Reseiver. Don't expect TWR to be open or catch the ball, but the threat is what counts.

Also expect a lot of dink and dunk especially to Cooley and think the skins will run AT Taylor since that seems to be the way to approach the best pass rushers.

Should be a low scoring effort, and I think the D is tuned up enough to get it done. I expect they will begin to reverse last year's alarming turnover ratio right away, and that will be the key.

Frothing at the mouth!...Can't blog during the game because I'll drool all over the keyboard. Gotta go! Can't sit still! 20 more minutes! Feel like I just had a triple shot espresso!

**Running from the room** "HTTR HTTR HTTR!!!"

you folks joining the chat or should we just keep the post count headed north? ? ?

I joined the chat but its lame so far

Hey there! I'm gonna stay right here....

hail...wazzup folks...OGSB here...(Original Gangster Skins Blogger...Megskin, PDiddy etc.)...been a while since i posted...about mid season last year when these blogs got out of control and i couldnt keep up...nice work!!! but how do you all keep your day jobs???

so im in heaven!!! opening sunday...and once again i got a bushel of blue crabs & skins on sunday ticket in 47" HD in front of me!!!

does it get any better than that?

well yeah...1-0 baby!!!

as i said all last year...keep the faith!!!

WOOOOOWIOWOWOWOWOWOOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And that's all I gotta say!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWOOOWOWOWOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That chat thing is too complicated for my luddite mind. Im staying here and am ready to go. Mid-season form.

Let's mute Dan Dierdorf and get this thing started.

It was fairly obvious why having the NBA all-star game in Vegas was a bad idea... why does Britney Spears think that resurrecting her career there is a good idea? That's a train wreck waiting to happen.

I forgot Joey Porter was on the Fish's side. Taylor and Porter sort of scare me. Time to go to work Samuals.

Cindy not endorsing the posts new gimmicks? I haven't seen it anywhere else.. are they debuting it with the RI peeps since we are so active / enslaved to your ultimatums?

skj! isn't the skins game on fox?

Blue clear sky, green grass
Spirits soar like ball in fight
Field of gold is ours!

Game Time! Hail To The Redskins!

Cindy:

you mgmt folks have got to get on the same page ;-)

no pent up blogging action out there is there . . .

It's is so good to have this start up again . . .

I'm w/ sf, woo*

It's always the "visiting team's network", ergo it's on CBS.

I said it before and I'll say it again:

This has to be the most perfect day of the year. It is to football fans what Easter is to Christians -- the resurrection.

CBS, DANTE CBSSS!!!!

silence the bells, the canons,the pyrotechnics and muzzle the experts
my true love is here, my true love is here
it's been too long
9 months and 4 days and 20 hours to be exact
ohh what a sight for sore eyes

turn off the baby monitors, the lawn mowers and the nay sayers
my true love is here all the way to 14-2!

btw, i'm having fish for lunch!

Do you suppose Redcoat is upside-down in a trash can about now?

Why isn't this game on Fox?

Its really hot, really humid and WE'RE kicking off!

get your tartar sauce ready!

I thought all nfc hosted interleague games were on fox and vice versa

Smoot starts. Springs at nickel.

3 and out. Yummy.

GO DEFENSE!!!!! 3 and out

3 and out phins!

The defense looked great, but let's remember these are the Dolphins. Still....good start.

anyone else having probs w/ internet radio feed?

I got m tivo all q'd up and the radio is spotty, never happened last yr

That's what we needed a good D start. Why Springs not starting? Poor Lisa.

is springs hurt?

As advertised, the D is HUNGRY!

Three and out to start!
Skins defense on the march back
Lust for Mayhem starts!

1st play. CP breaks three tackles for three yards.

CP baby.

GO PORTIS!!!!

Yeah, looks like CP has lost a step. Haha.

oh man... interception ...let's stick to the run folks

D'oh! Where's Brunell? :-)

Oh man i didn't even see something that stupid from jc last year

Oops. Pick. Springs not hurt, just playing nickel. CP's first down required another three broken tackles. Kendall also stopped two guys, including Zach Thomas.

Season over, done
Redskins Nation gnashes teeth
JC betrays us!

(Tongue firmly in cheek!)

nuff said :)

Jason's pocket was collapsing quickly.

This "Lord of the Flies" Kid Nation thing looks creepy.

Right? Brunny.. lmao

But, gee... looked like CP was, uh... hittin' hard.. and uh... breakin' a few.

Gee - too bad he doesn't have heart...

SKJs...

I told you guys CP will be fine. JC will bounce back. The D will hold them to 3 points. Let's go baby.

8 yards from Booker's run. Reaper nearly removes Booker's head.

Fine he has to throw ONE int. this season so let's get it out of the way.

not sure what he saw there, might have been a misread? read man, actually zone? JC had plenty of time . . .

I'd like to thank dan snyder for having triple X ESPN radio (which is such a non kosher name for a radio station) broadcasting the game on the Internet.

Ronnie Brown stopped at the line of scrimmage by 4 Skins ... all punching on the way down. Green SACKED by Carter!

Andre Carter with the sack. Impressive.

HELLO, MR. CARTER!

Carter for the sack!!!

Sack andre carter

I prefer blogs to chats. Just me.

BANGIN D'

Carter baby! Damn maybe I have to give double G credit.

Smooooooot. This defense is very, very impressive.

Mister CAHTER! Picking up where he left off!

So far, all the cat calls of me being a homer for picking the redskins' D in my draft has been worth it....5 minutes into the season, of course!

Green is the new Brunell.

Why are "cold activated bottles" wasted on such a crappy beer?

anyone seeing this in HD??? what the hell's up with CBS??

D looks like it is back . . .

WTF! xxx 4 plays late.

Watching in HD on DirecTV...

jm220. There is a delay. On the fin's first series it was like 2 plays, then on the 2nd series they were just playing musac most of the time until the punt. better than nothing

BTW, for the last few seasons, CBS only had the capability to broadcast three games in HD. Which, when you consider that the NFL is the single biggest driver of HDTV sales, is ludicrous. It appears they may have expanded their capacity this year.

sheep commercial is pretty funny . . .

gotta love EV DO Rev a, got 300k to the handset the other day . . .

So I'm wrong about the passing game... uhhhhhgh.

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

NICE punt by Frost.

A little blech.

But Green Bay did score on a muffed punt return by Philly.

good punt Frosty

sheesh. 64 yards.

what was that stinkin penalty again??

YEAH! Stooopid refs!

Gotta love the penalties going our way

Zebra conference results in goodness. Let's watch another bad car commercial, perhaps some beer looks good, and I really need some ED medication...

Fins and all.

Yeah - I guess Riggo DIDN:T come outta retirement to make a hold on a return.

I actually like that Cowboys commercial. Jerry Jones is such a ham.

I was wondering why there would be holding on the coverage team. makes no sense

This is Ourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr country!

Noize NOIZE NOIZE - Bring it

do you thikn the danny would ever do somehting like that?

don't think so! ! !

How many tackles will Rocky and London make today? Yeesh.

Smoot got caught giving a carlos rogers type cushion

What's up with Springs?

I love to see Clash (London Fletcher Baker - London Calling - The Clash - Clash)
running about back there telling guys what to do.

The Dolphins keep killing themselves. It's funny because this was us last year.

where's springs???

Smoot hurt his elbow.

never ye mind...smooty needs to tighten up...

Hmmmm. Offense on the field scares me.

Someone tell ARE to once in a while just run forward and see what happens. Just once in a while for shtis and giggles.

The FedEx crowd is going nuts. Those two offensive offsides/motion penalties were earned by the crowd.

Wonder if ARE is ever going to run FORWARD on a punt return.

Okay, so there are 4 things redeeming about New York fans.

haven't a lot of chatter but penalties, but it seems like this team is committing way fewer penalties (knock on wood)

OK JC calm down and put together a nice drive.

anyone got an idea re: what's up w/ how dub g is playing springs? not sure I get it yet. . .

JC to ARE. That's what we're talking about.

Sonny called that long pass to ARE.

SOOOOOOUUUUUUPPPPSSSSSSS!!!!!

ARE!!!!

JC to ARE for 35 yds.

WTF is up with xxx? Tripple smack to the back of their damn heads!

Meanwhile, it's more Musak on XXX Radio.

Betts getting the >3.5 yards. Nice. Bram says CP not hurt, but out with wardrobe malfunction.

Time to hit Cooley over the middle.

sellers for 4 yards.

hey i don't mind jc throwing some more interceptions over brunell if he can actually complete passes like that

dubl smack, that reminds me, I still need to get that t-shirt from nate's virtual store. . .

Second Skins first down today (in three possessions). This is BUSINESS, esp. on Miami.

xxx missed 4 damn plays before it came back on the air.

Smoot just got a little bump in his funny bone ... or in Smoot's case, his hilarious bone.

Very cool game. Nice to see some resiliency.

end of 1st quarter, we're in ok shape, have only given up 43 total yards to the phins. I'll take that 3 more times

CP and Betts both have 4 carries for 13 yards. Anyone still worried about CP?

Green Bay beating Philly 10-0. :)

hope the dude at trip X internet feed gets a cup o joe between qtrs

so far seems like he's asleep at the switch. . .

Nice shovel pass.

Shuttle pass to Betts for ANOTHER first down!

They're not missing plays. The Muzak is in lieu of commercials, since the commercials are inserted locally and (because you're listening over the Internets) there are no local commercials for you.

trip X dude still asleep . . .

come on skins get the touchdown please

I take back everything negative I ever said about Betts.

Bram says Portis has a "leg bruise" and that Fox has a groin pull (and done for the day).

Well also I hate to say it but CP don't have ze butterfingers in the redzone.

Oh man, losing Jansen...

Jansen REALLY hurt.

SJK Jensen down.

where is oye como va? ? ?

got to get hime som tpuches here

No no no no no no no no no no please just a stinger please. Hit in the family jewels that's it please.

Taylor was offsides on that play, but I didn't see a flag. Is that coach call reviewable?

give me an updated guys, not on TV up here, what happened with JJansen?

The Internet radio is also 3-4 plays behind the television feed (which is 1/2 play behind live, as anyone with that silly Kangaroo TV at the stadium will tell you).

OH SJK!!! Jansen looks REAALLT bad...they got him biting down on a towel...looks like some blogfolks will be gettin there wish to get jansen out

Damn Jansen is down.

Wade is inactive. Who comes in? Heyer?

Jansen got rolled up from behind during the JC sack. It looks like his knee, and he looks to be in terrible pain and is being carted off.

He blew out his ACL, that's exactly how it happens, being hit from behind. If it's not ruptured, we'll be VERY lucky.

Oh, man. Jansen is done for the year.

Thanks....and CRAP!!!!

I suppose that Heyer would come in?

I'm sticking with my 15-13 prediction. 5 FGs for the inept Red Zone 'Skins offense, and a game winner for SwissHam at the end.

It was Jansen's right leg. Which one did he bust the Achilles on two seasons ago?

Oh, man. Jansen is done for the year.

Posted by: Cindy | September 9, 2007 01:44 PM

is this inside knowledge or worst case nightmare?

That Manning Sprint commercial is idiotic.

Jansen, dislocated right ankle.

Diddy, that was not ineptitude in the RZ. They were moving the ball. [Bram says Jansen has dislocated ankle.] They went for the FG b/c replacing the tackle interrupts the momentum.

cyn city: anyway someone who knows someone at red zebra can make a call on our behalf? some dude is defintely not doing his job at Trip x today. just tell them that they got jm all fired up, that should do it . . .

Is that "better" or worse?

Dislocated right ankle? Sounds bad, but not as bad as a rupture ACL? Is there a doctor in the blog?

Dislocated ankle OUCH! UGH!

Oreo Pizza on the way. Full review coming soon.

Wine pairing suggestions?

:-)

I dislocated my ankle two years ago and all I can say is that we won't be seeing Jansen on the field for a while. My ankle hurts just thinking about his recovery.

Hell yeah they don't want to see me right now.

Smoot is back in.

Dislocated ankle a season ender? Hope Wade gets better soon.

Whoever said "Trent Green 2007 = Mark Brunell 2006" is spot on.

Dislocated ankle mean that Jansen will be out for 8-12 weeks...minimum

Damn...

Oreo Pizza on the way. Full review coming soon. Wine pairing suggestions?

Posted by: P Diddy | September 9, 2007 01:47 PM

Chateau Pepsi 2007

Rogers out. Springs in on the left. Smoot moved over to the right. Cornelius out, Golsten in.

Diddy - saw a print ad for Oreo pizza and I threw up a little in my mouth.

Okay D let's dig in and push em back.

Damn it. D time to step up.

Fumble! Redskins ball!

AND A TURNOVER! SPRINGS RECOVERS!

That's exactly what needs to happen: Defensive needs to seriously carry this team through at LEAST the bye week, and, now, with Jansen out, probably beyond that.

First a sack! Now a fumble recovery! WOOO defense!

Why is Rogers out? And adonde este el receiver?

I dislocated my ankle in February and I wasn't playing any sort of sport until at least June (not well mind you) wasn't full speed until Septemberish. Jansen probably has better doctors and rehab equipment than I did, but it'll be a long rode if the injury is similar.

Skins are saying it's a dislocated ankle for Jansen.

XXX internet radio is missing plays - they missed the damn field goal. What's the score now? 17-10?

Lisa must be jumping for joy right now. Springs with the recovery.

"No, he's not over the hill!"

That's what I am talking about D.

The Wide Receiver -- Lloyd, Brandon - has been on the field alot and open alot.

gotta get him some toques . . .

HB Blades caused the fumble?

Does this mean that Jasno's going to have to get a new mantra? "They're no good. No turnovers."

Rocky with the forced fumble. Springs with the recovery.

Well done. Very, very, very impressive, eh?

A sack and a turnover already? Oh, Jasno!

That sack is totally on JC. WTF? Throw the ball away.

Good balance in the play calling btw. I'm thinking Saunders may have figured out how to do this.

Who has come in for Jansen?

Sorry for all the questions

JC not sharp today at all.

JC blew that one. WAY overthrown to the wide open Moss.

That sack was not check down/throw it out-able ... JC was up in the pocket so there was traffic on all sides. Brunell could throw out of bounds to avoid the sack last year b/c he never stepped up into the pocket.

JC not sharp today at all.

Posted by: P Diddy | September 9, 2007 01:55 PM

I would have said he's not consistent. His first pass to Randle El was sharp. And was the INT on him or on Cooley? It's opening day.

Frost needs to learn the right time for a shank.

JC not sharp? Too early to say. He JUST got SACKED for the first time. Just poise rattled.

JC is holding the ball too long early and may be nervous in his first opening game start. By the second half he should settle in!

now we know why the gruff LB coach is no longer . . .

how can you keep rock ont eh bench with holdman out there? ? ?

like dub g said about dub l, he'll make mistakes but he'll make them at full speed. . .

Who replaced Jansen btw?

Note: that JC sack happened on Samuels' side, not Heyer's.

Heyer replaced Jansen

Is C. Rogers playing, I've only seen Smoot and a lot of him!

Good thing Heyer got those reps in preseason.

Lessons from Samuels' injury and now Jansen ... OTs should never allow themselves to be horizontal on the field. Other guys fall on them and break them.

Hmmmm, Mandy Moore guest starring on a lame CBS sitcom. If she's so desperate for attention, I recommend accidentally leaking a sex tape.

So far today, Jason is having a better day than McNabb.

Laron

Booker drops a pass in the middle of Area 51. How many times will we see that this year?

AREEEAAAAHHHHH 51!!

Carlos is so good that the Dolphins are not looking at his side of the field. LOL!

WOW....and we thought Frosty shanked punts!

boy that dolphins punt looked like a frost shank spectacular

UGLIEST punt. Ever. Miami.

DCsween: looked to me like zach thomas rolled up on JJ while he was upright. . .

dxxx Trip X

Rogers is playing. Springs has played nickel. The Dolphins use 3 wide receiver sets. When Booker plays the slot ,, Springs has been on him.

Booker drops a pass in the middle of Area 51. How many times will we see that this year?

Posted by: P Diddy | September 9, 2007 02:03 PM

And it was rocky mac that nailed him causing the drop

Area 51 baby. Nate get those damn T made up my friend.

If Snyder was such a brilliant marketing guy, he'd have redskins.com store commercials instead of Musak on the feed.

Bottom line - both teams are playing very poorly, particularly the Dolphins.

JC very shakey so far.

Following the game via drive chart on nfl.com, any suggestions for something better online?

Redcoat was repping for that great Miami punter. WTG Redcoat!

We need to play more sharp on offense

triple xxx on the internet, avg. time behind now...5 mins. avg. plays missed, 3 per break. good stuff danny

Santana. Oye como va?

Mofass, try cbssportsline.com.

I dont think its just JC not playing well. The dolphins have a good defense. I think we should pick on the secondary more and get Cooly involved more.

I'm still trying to figure out why they drafted Ginn in the first round...

Skins' O is not sharp, but don't forget whose D they're up against.

Thanks Greg will try

Every pass seems to be thrown at Fred Smoots way.

OK we need the D to get another turnover.

mofass,

http://www.triplexespnradio.com/contact/contact.shtml

Corner backs play to far off the ball/

or this one

http://www.triplexespnradio.com/

In the heat, are d has been on the field too long. We need a stop!

someone needs to put green on his a$$

dub L time . . .

would be nice to see the rook step up . . .

WATCH THE TRICK PLAY

Where are the blitz packages today?

2 good stops. Come on let's make it 3!

So, this is weird. 4 seconds to play and a timeout. WTF? You can run one play, or kick one FG. Why not call TO at 20 seconds? Huh????

Why was Rogers behind a back up tight end, s##ks

we'll be lucky to be 5-11 again this year...this is embarassing

aRE DEFENSE HAS PLAYED WELL. Are offense needs to show up or its an another long season.

this team sucks just like last year

Damn...D was doin so well...hope this fires em up during the halftime break...smoot still keeps gettin burnt...and rogers is just awful

we'll be lucky to be 5-11 again this year...this is embarassing

aRE DEFENSE HAS PLAYED WELL. Are offense needs to show up or its an another long season.

Posted by: T | September 9, 2007 02:23 PM

It's one half of football, lame-o's.

yeah, 7-3 is such a blowout. Why don't you guys go watch the WNBA?

wtf is this? this team stinks...anyone remember how bad the Skins were in the 3rd quarter all of last year...let's see hwo they come out...they have the ball to start the 2nd half.

Redskins look bad - inept on offense.

The Dolphin splayed like crap and are still beating the sorry Skins.

They really look slow, disorganized on defense.

Where's all of this team speed.

LOL Gee, usually it takes the first loss for the Redskins Nation extremists to go all doom and gloom -- doing so after the first score on the defensive is a new low! Well done!

Okay, official review of Oreo pizza:

The crust is regular pizza crust, albeit really, really thin. It's a very odd contrast in flavor between the salty, cardboardy crust and the pile of Oreos, chocolate, and frosting on top. It's kind of like stuffing your mouth with a cardboard box and Oreos at the same time.

Basically, it's disgusting.

But there's a lot of sugar in there. sfskin, something to consider feeding your kids before class.

wow...Randy Moss 4 rec. 87 yards in the first half

It's killing me to see all these balls go to Smoot. He seems to be more worried about staying 5 yards away from the reciever than making a play. And every time he makes a tackle he's thumping his chest. As if it's negating the fact that he just gave up a reception.

I'm not as worried about Soup. Give him time, he'll settle down. He's got half time to get himself calmed down. The play calls haven't been bad, just the execution. Y'all waited this long for the season to start, let's give a little while before we go burying it! :)

Ok first off I'm hoping this is first game rust but the Dolphins seem to have shaken that off.

2nd JJ is a huge blow considering how early it is...

3rd all we have done for two years is call for Cmpbell...Well we have him now...So no more excuses....

This team looks the same as always to me...They just seem to not be able to execute...Defense looks great though...Can't blame them for the TD that was a gutsy call and could have went either way.

Lets hope Gibbs throws a gatorade cooler at half and can somehow do what he has done for years...Make halftime adjustments....But right now...This team on offense looks awful.

We're doomed! We're doomed!

D looks better than last year, but the O still looks pretty bad. Cooley getting blown up, Jansen down, dropped passes, overthrown balls and picks.

Bright spot, ARE and maybe Betts.

We have to make a statement on this first drive, period. Its so early. The D was on the field too long and the dolphins made adjustments how to attack the D.We too involve Cooley, go play action and set up the big play.

Season over...when does the NBA start? Will the Wizards be any better?

I thought the strangest Redskins decision of the first half was taking Betts out of the game after he'd brought the ball down to the seven and replacing him with Portis. Portis didn't do zip, but the play calling on those two plays was pretty unispired.

We have another half to play. What is wrong with you guys? On half and you are ready to say we suck. Damn I wouldn't want some of you as my back up in trouble times.

We were FAR worse in third quarter last year than 1st half, could get ugly. Green is a good QB and he's getting more and more time. And where are our screen passes? This defense is made for them and they were some of our best gainers last year.

1st drive of the 2nd half is HUGE. The skins have to get a TD.

Cooley isnt apart of the passing game because he has to stay back and help block...Jansen is out for the year and Samuels is just now getting back...

Love the Vikings TD. It's always fun to watch fat men run.

down by 4 points at the half; not bad at all. the "D" is keeping pace with Miami's "D". Looks good. You aren't going to be world beaters on every play.

It's still anybody's game....

We're doomed! We're doomed!

Posted by: P Diddy | September 9, 2007 02:27 PM

Diddy--That you talkin' or the pizza?

dislocated ankle = "out for the year"?

nah

jm - I wouldn't want some of these clowns as my backup in good times - lol

I see people think the Nation is being too harsh about this team so early....

I can tell ya this...I have the NFL ticket and I watching all the games and the Skins offense looks the worst of the day thus far...

Yes I agree we should not doom the season just yet. but Basic execution is crucial...They are not executing well at all...The oline can't pass block for s**t and the running game is just not there after the first 4 carries....I don't care who you are playing...I'm tired of making execuses for this team...there is no more excuses....PLAY Dammit!

Dick Enberg still around? Oh my!

JM220
JC sucks and i cant wait to read all your lame excuses!

Dislocated ankle very serious. Glance at these horror stories...

http://www.injuryupdate.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=1794

>>> "Diddy--That you talkin' or the pizza?"

It's me being facetious. But it's also the pizza. Scratch "Order Domino's" off the season to do list. Might as well cross off "Eat dog poop" while I'm at it. Leaves "Go on a date with Heidi Klum" and "Read the entire Berenstein Bears oeuvre".

Leevi - take up knitting, it will easier on your heart

How do you guys think the Wizards will do this year?

I thikn we need one of theose drives where we just feed feed betts over and over again, a la 2nd halfo of last year. . .

way to early to b negative . . .

dfense looks much improved, time for the adjustments we never seemed to make last year . . .

P Diddy, was that your C-3P0 impression?

I just hope they don't abandon the running game. Keep pounding it at Thomas and the crew and they'll wear down.

Hopefully the D will make an adjustment stop the mid range stuff. It's time for Area 51 to take charge.

Any pearls of wisdom from Sonny and Sam? Are they drinking their Metamucil and Ovaltine yet?

The seasons not over. We played 1 half! We will win, period!

I hope Olexy Pechorov and Andre Blatche can step up in the paint to help out Arenas and Butler

Sam Huff is taking his traditional halftime nap.

The spirit of Ade Jimoh lives on, in fred Smoot. No they aren't calling "Smooooot" they ARE booing.

WHy has it taken Cam Cameron less than a half to make his offense work, and Saunders still doesn't?

It took Cam Cameron less then a half and Saunders 2 yrs and they still havent figured it out...

Not that it matters given the score, but the Skins definitely look better than the Dolphins today. [The score doesn't count till the game is over.] Betts is getting great yardage. The Skins have had 3 (4?) first downs ... although an equal number of punts. Though the O is making the Dolphins D look weak, Trent Green is doing the same thing to the Skins' D. STILL not good numbers on third down by our D. Where is LaRon today?

I don't agree with changing RBs so often Put one in and stick to it...Backs get in tune with things as the game goes on...especially Portis...

Do the hogettes get to their seats on their own, or do they use canes, walkers?

Weird Al is too busy indexing his playbook. It's hard work, don't ya know...

By next season, we'll be able to look up "Completed pass" in the index and end up on page 568 for that extra special play we've all been clamoring for. You know the one where JC puts the ball in Santana's hands and he holds on to it. That one.

Patriots just ran back opening kickoff of 2nd half for a TD

the redskins are still awful. awful.
if Jason Campbell and joe gibbs ever win a playoff game ill eat my Shar Pourdanesh gameworns

folks cut your emotional losses know. its gonna be a few years

what the hell is santana moss's problem?

News flash - JC just not an accurate passer!

let's leave the predictions for after the game . . .

lookd like rocmac should of stayed out in the flat on the TD . .

oye como va!!!!

WTF?!?!?

Who was that talking about the Wizards, it's week one of the NFL season!!! For God's sake! GO SKINS GO SKINS GO SKINS GO SKINS!!! That's all I want to hear out of you mush mouths!

JC to ARE. PERFECT long ball. Absolutely perfect.

We're not doomed! We're not doomed!

Ladies and Gentlemen we have a qb with an arm and a new #1 receiver

Yeah, CP has definitely lost a step.

Soup is lovin him some ARE

that's what I was saying...TD on the opening drive!!!!

and CP helped out my fantasy team.

Cue Mark Twain: "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated."

Who needs Preseason! Portis for a TD! WOO HOOO!!!

JC long ball. CP td! Now shut SJK up! Don't talk smack to me!

Yeah that offense sjks.

Um, did someone ask for an opening 2nd half drive??

To all Wizards fans, I called it, Dont jump ship yet. Because the Wizards are awful. Go Skins, CP, are you with me!

Now thats how you start off the 2nd half...come on defense...step up!!

That's more like it....Whoever invented the oreos pizza should be shot.

someone say something about CP losing a step? a little foot for supper?

Randel El is coming up BIG... which is good since Moss couldn't catch the ball if it had a handle on it!

A few lame-o's need to do the right thing now and say "I was wrong." You know who you are.

It looks like all the nay sayers just logged off! HAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooley blocked Taylor on that CP run. I will never doubt him again.

pls kick it in bounds swissham . . .

Nothing like shaking off the rust and getting Portis in the end zone.

If a TD for Miami means our season is doomed does a TD for us mean we're going to the Superbowl?

I think it does!

FYI...Last years 1st pick in the draft, Mario Williams, scored his first TD. 41 yard fumble return...Good for him...

Oh, right, that's why they drafted Ginn.

:-)

trip XX went silent, did you get to the board operator jm?

Well...it was in bounds.

No nay saying here - We still need for Moss to get his hands back though....

I said HAIL!!! Let's go Skins nation!! HAIL!!!

the oreos pizza was invented in Kansas City, of all places.

Whoever invented the oreos pizza should be shot.

Probably Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzalez, or someone else we already hate.

Not how we needed to respond after a TD

well randle el has 100 yards recieving...nice...

Did Mario Williams have a good year last year? It's easy to get overlooked when you play for such a bad team (cue Redskins Nation's constant harping about the 'Skins getting overlooked for everything).

still dead air on trip x . . .
geez . . .have to listen to the real strawberry sortcake in the background, argh . .

Rocky is playing great!

It is hard for me to plumb the depths of my literary prowess to describe the contempt I have for Oreo Pizza. That's $4 I just spent which could have been spent on a Bud Light or something.

Not in KC! Say it isn't so!!! KC is one of the best cities on planet earf.

Sack for Rocky!!!

Rocky Mac! Come on O score another TD on this play and take their heart.

Green got a Mac Attack!

KC is certainly one of the best restaurant cities in America. Vastly underrated.

Where are all of you we are doomed people? You need to man up and say you were wrong. A footballl game isn't over in the first half.

Cyn Cyty make sure JLC say he was wrong about CP.

Randy Moss 50-yd TD pass - Patriots are gonna bury the Jets

anybody just see Betts wave Portis off?

P Diddy,

At what point were you contemplating Oreo pizza, and thinking that there was even a chance it might be good?

Hugely underrated, Diddy. I also just noticed that you ordered this pizza at 1:47 eastern....that's, what, 10:47 for you??? That may have upped the disgustingness.

Jasno will do another mea cupla.

We're waiting!

JLaC needs to apologize to CP in person, on camera, wearing plaid shorts, and a pink polo with a popped collar.

CP has 10 carries for 48 yards. Man him not playing in the pre season is really hurting him.

KC's a great food town, but underrated? No way. Everyone says good things about food in KC.

Randy Moss just caught a 50-yard td pass.

anyone seen landry recently or know if he's hurt; seems like prilleau is on the field for him a lot or did he get benched or something or are we just in nickel and dime packages; he's been quiet

Whoever is in charge over there at xxx needs the beat down.

Sonic, it's a moral imperative. Last year, Fudge 'Ums was epically wonderful (cubes of poop? SIGN ME UP!) This year, "beard of Oreos?" Oh yes. I'm in.

A discriminating pallette, indeed.

D needs a takeaway to keep the haters off the blog. There are other reasons, too.

People think KC is just bbq and steak, that's why I say it's underrated.

And, of course, I meant palate. Grrrr.

Are we bring any heat on Green?

D just looks too much like last year in the pass game. Miami won't need the run if this keeps up.

You gotta give Carlos Roger credit on that tackle. Textbook.

Rogers made 2 good plays in a row.

Well, they have only allowed 10 points thus far. So, let's give credit where it's due, and assign blame where it's due. The defense looks very strong overall. The offense looks inconsistent. Even more importantly, the game isn't even over yet :-)

But remember, this was the whole deal. Close games until mid-season, then the offense comes together and they make a run at it. If they end up 6-5 or 5-6, things may be alright in that weak division.

So don't panic.

did rogers actually make a play? ? ?

China is the most mysterious land on Earth? Survivor is making "TV History"?

Huh?

We're Doomed! Doomed I say!

jm: let me know when tripx is back , on the teevee feed rrightnow . .

why is triple x not broadcasting im stuck in san antonio and not hearing the game is killing me

I love JC MOBILITY.

Nice play from Soupy...

JC on a 12 yard run

Now we're talking! Wear the Miami D down and give ours a break!

It's great for the League that Randy Moss is back in full force.

JLaC nailed...10-10 4th Quarter...whose going to make the play or the mistake...

Oye, como va?

Va bien, gracias.

JLaC nailed it with is prediction...10-10 in the 4th Quarter...whose going to make the play or the mistake???

That's what I am talking about JC. That's my dawg! That's my dawg

Yep, he nailed it. Altho he'd said he nialed it.

After that Campbell run, I hope you guys who were saying that Brunell should be the starter will realize why you were wrong. Wait -- different blog site -- geriatrics.com

D'oh!

OK 1qt to go. Damn this game is way to close for my liking.

BLloyd's gotta give it more of a fight than that! Maybe he had an oreos pizza breakfast, too.

Okay D. Reach down and grab em!!!

Just caught up with time on game (knew had to pause it when my dog was standing in front of the TV with the leash)and now caught up with the blog.

What's up with the poopy pants at halftime? I mean are you guys fans of other teams who are here just to be poopy pants? That's sad.

Anyhoo I'll say it's not consistentlyl great but you know what we're seeing what we can do warts and all.

Damn...did you see that...B.Lloyd basically let that one go...big wuss...we needed to cut him last year

Damn Damn Damn! Come on D

Was I mistaken, or did Lloyd, Brandon give up on that play -- both on the pass and on tackling after the interception?

what the crappin crap SAUNDERS, run the CRAPPIN BALL!!!!!

Umm the Receiver isn't earning his paycheck today. He's had some blocks but two bad plays.

Yeah, t-e, it appeared that he gave up. I don't like to call guys out for that stuff because who knows what's going on, but, yeah, he did look like he pulled up a little there.

Totally, Talent, totally. And that pass interference by Smoot was horrid.

They've got to make Lloyd inactive next game and let Bodiford and Thrash have a chance. Those guys at least care.

Yeah that was crap... lets use the rest of our free cap space this year and cut b lloyd now

Alright, just how BS are these Ford commercials? Anybody have a giant plane and a Ford truck so we can try it out?

man im getting really nervous...Can JC lead them to a score? Will the Def hold Miami for the rest of the game???

i understand the $$ side of things, but can't we make the Wide Receiver pour Gatorade or something??

Ad break commentary:
Who was the genius at CBS who decided that China is "the land of mystery"?

Nice thing about game on CBS is no Chevy commercials!!! Not our country at CBS woohoo!

I'm sad about Oreo Pizza - not because I didn't think it would be anything but vomitous but it diminishes what I consider the finest cookie on the mass marketplace.

I'll take the drop, maybe he was hearing footsteps with da reap closing in? ? ?

Miami hands are our best defensive weapon!

david martin? brandon lloyd? Have they ever been seen together? I'm thinking not. The receiver's drawing pay checks from two teams.

I prefer the Newman O's (ginger and mint!). Paul is a culinary genius.

is xxx internet radio working for anyone?

Nutter Butters!

that's what talent, or lack thereof will get u. . .

hopefully oye como va has got drops out of his system, what's the count 2? 3?

more than I'm used to seeing . . .

im not too stoked on the way our d is playing...they are getting off the hook too easy with all those dropped passes that shoulda been first downs...

we gotta get some pressure on the qb...too many plays look like last year...secondary just getting picked apart...good thing they are dropping those...

of course we're guilty as well on the other side of the ball...

Time to run CP to the end zone again. And damn it get Cooley involved.

BTW just to demonstrate how fast and smart I am and that all that $ my parents spent on my education was totally worth it. . .

I just realized that 30 + 21 = 51. Yup maybe me and Skippy should meet and procreate.

CP way to keep it going.

It's time to put this game in CP's hands. He's the franchise, he's the guy.

sfskin, that's hilarious. I had no idea either...

sf: you are doing our thinking for us . . .

damn...campbell's got to get his throws down,,,

randel el...is he stepping up to be a bonified #2?

today he looks like the #1...

So The Receiver makes a catch, but there's a penalty on the D, so it doesn't count. Love it.

Hey looky the Receiver just caught a pass! What was that worth? $1 million?

Cooley is blocking I assume.

Time for Lloyd ass to be inactive for the rest of the year.

Did everyone see that? Someone stole the Wide Receiver's jersey and went out and caught a pass...

sellars takes z thomas for a ride . . .

What? 30+21=51?

I googled it and I got -- an airfield whose primary purpose is believed to be the operation and analysis of enemy aircraft and weapons systems -- from Wikipedia.
