FLLLLLLLOYD!

FINALLY!!! My time to shine!!!

ARE!!!! Come back!!! Come back!!!

Who's that Number 17 guy again?

Check out my cool hat I'm wearing on the sidelines while I eatch Caldwell and McCardell catch passes - The Receiver

Aggressive on Offense!

I've seen two holds against us the last two pass plays... thanks Ref.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY

Yikes.

cant let them back in now...3rd down...get off the field D...

That flag was late and a B.S. call.

Nah, good call; close but early on the hit. What's up with Marcus? Re-aggravated the elbow (yuck) or something else?

Adam

That flag was fine, Taylor hit him a little too early.

That call on The Reaper was legit.

Another injury? Marcus Washington out.

This game is wide open if Detroit scores on this possession.

Marcus has a hammy injury

This game is getting me nervous now...offense needs to step up on the next drive.

Diddy

I thought I heard MW done for the day with a hamstring. Is this correct?

Adam

Gints game flashbacks. Biting a towel.

Nail bitin' starting to happen. We need to score. Either quick hit or long drive.

"They use donuts as bait to trap people in pointless meetings."

Oh my god, that's awesome.

good to hold to a field goal here...now we need a drive to eat up the clock and keep their offense off the field...pts or not...but an answer would be good...

Yeah, Washington has a hamstring injury.

Bubba is going to be busy this week, Cyndy. 'Skins need another bye.

P.S. Washington will not return.

Can you say 6 point swing?

Now ARE (and Washington?) are out? And the Lions have discovered KJones can run against the Skins? They need a score. This is going to be a maalox 4th qtr.

"Coors The Banquet Beer"?

Umm something very Brokeback about that ad.

What does that mean banquet beer?

I think I saw Receiver, The in the game there...

Yes....Brandon Lloyd!!!!!!

Dang it... I lost the pool

yeah, receiver!

Adam

Was that THE?

WHAT?

In Gibbs 2.0, I believe the team has been strong the week after the bye.

A Lloyd catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

my gawd...who was that???

Who caught that ball? I don't think I remember who wears no. 85. Haven't seen that number all season...

I just got caught BMGO by my buddy... he's making fun of me.

Llllllllllllooooooyyyydddd!

Was that a reception by 'Receiver, The'!?!

GO FOR IT!!!

Punt!!!

I'm not watching the game live and my computer screen just said B.Lloyd 9yd catch? Was that a mis-print?

cant go here...

3 and out?....Gints flashbacks getting stronger.

SELLERS!

Dorf, embrace the nerdness :-)

Typical Joe Gibbs 2.0 meltdown in full effect. It's like Deja Vu watching the Giants game again.

Get the lead. Go super conservative. Other team wins. The end.

Ya know, I believe it would be impossible for Ed Hochuli's pants to be any tighter. In fact, he may be wearing just body paint.

I think he made it. That last push he wasn't down.

I'm also totally objective.

Yep....we will be down to 1 time out after this. Slouching towards another loss.

Not sure how a deep pass to Thrash on 1st and 10 is "super conservative."

yeah but you cant tell where the spot is exactly..

No misprint! Receiver, The has begun the long road to "Leading the League in All Receiver Categories". That's my entry in the pool.

Why challenge a spot like that and NOT go for it after? Makes no sense.

so, the receiver makes a catch only because ARE and SM are out of the game w/ injuries.

How's that for confidence Brandon?

That was a weird challenge. What made them think they'd get it overruled?

Dorf, we could come over and beat up your buddy. If you want.

That was plenty of time to put in a good fake.

What a wasted timeout.

Yep, Giants flashback bigtime. I do think injuries are killing us but there's a bit of same-o, same-o.

I've just lit the incense and votive candles.

nice...back insdie their 10...

cant let them score here...

Gus Frerotte throws his 2nd TD pass of the day!

I don't mind that challenge. We need a first down in the worst way right now.

We also have the strangest halftime ajustments I've ever seen.

SAFETY!!!!!!!!

Carter gets a SAFETY!

SAFETY

I kept tellin' everyone Carter would come thru.

Texans tied it up against the 'Fins =[

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!! That's what I'm talkin bout!!!

Andre Carter has scored more points this year than Floyd has caught passes

Frosty in the house. Lions 0-20 in D.C. still down by 11. Have some faith you puss fans.

I was getting ready to say how we were due for a big defensive play and.....

wow a safety!

Kitna should have thrown that ANYwhere rather than let that happen. Good play by Carter but horrible play by Kitna.

BTW, Coors has always been the Banquet Beer since they started making the stuff back in the old days in Golden, CO. They're just returning to old ad campaigns trying to make the stuff sound like champagne.

Nice challenge by Joe. Think we're gonna need that TO? More good clock management by the Skins.

Who's returning punts/free kicks now? Thrash?

d is stepping UP!!!

lets go get some points and put this one away!!!

Did Tim Green just say he coached Andre Carter in high school?

Please Joe Gibbs don't ever retire. As long as you are the head coach we will never have to worry about the redskins as a real threat.

Ol Whiskers gibbs proved what an idiot he is with that terrible conservative play call on 3rd and 1 and then confirmed it with that stupid challenge

Did you see Carter manhandle that tackle? I'm pumped now.

YEEEEHHAAAAWWWWW!!!

BTW 5cent10cent - guessing you're a Cowpaddies fan just hangin around since you're off till tomorrow.

Carter just destroyed that blocker.

RUN THE BALL!

McCardell: 2 receptions.
Receiver, The: 1 reception.
Bug Eyes: 0 receptions.

Maybe this isn't Tim Green. I'm now very confused

Adam

F your Giants flashbacks!
F McCardell doubters!
F the Lions!
F Chris Larry while we're at it!

deep middle to McCardell.

Enough of the "2nd half super conservative" critics.

McCardell from the street to sixth WR to 1st? wr in a matter of days.

sfskin..Ahem ....I mean foreskin....

i'm a skin fan, just not a blind dumb one like you that eats the $20 nachos and drinks $12 beers. Bring in a new owner.

Oops

Detroit Lions at Washington Redskins (FOX, 1:00): Sam Rosen, Tim Ryan

Frerotte just threw his first pick of the day, too.

Lions still under 100 yards (97) for the game.

Tim Ryan?

Tim Ryan!

Tim Green is good too but Ryan is doing great job.

MIKE THE MEAST SELLARS!!

I like how they're using Sellars today.

More runs like those and we won't have to debate whether Gibbs is aggressive enough.

Cindy,
Just saw your Hochuli in body paint comment.
Thanks. Just lost lunch.

Cooley got tripped!

D'oh! Fumble by Portis!!! Ugh.

Hold on to the damn ball!!!! SJK!!!

Elite RB clinton portis .. LOL

The Lions are really good at recovering fumbles.

FFFFFF

Way to go Portis. You think the idiot will learn to hold on to the ball after blowing Giants game for the team.

Way to go Overpaid RB. We gave up Champ Bailey for this trash???

chance for the dagger and CP blows it!!

Face it, CP fumbled big vs. NYG too!!

Sorry, DS. Just don't think about it.

Nice hands, they must still have some ky on them from the late night in Dupont Circle for Pee-wee Portis

I hate to say it but Redskins need to get Llyod in the gane. Thrash can't stay in bounds. Portis can't hold on to the ball. They need a WR that can get some key catches.

10 Cent - LOL - "foreskin" that's the best you got? Biologically I can't have any and not at all clear how that is an insult.

Also I pay $10 for a beer but only if it's a microbrew. And $20 nachos? Nah. Garlic fries maybe.

Here comes all the Chicken Littles.

I'm outta here.

See you after the game.

ATTACK YOU IDIOT!

I thought Betts was the one with chronic fumbilitis???

Disappointing drop. I agree, lets give the Receiver a few more calls this quarter and see what happens. Where's Caldwell? I'm in Indiana and have to listen on the radio; can't see everything that is happening.

Bug Eyes has been out there, but no catches yet.

That was a fumble

foreskin is to describe your appearance as reflected in your posts.

Hey TDAWG,
How about all these long delays not getting back to the game?
This XXX ESPN radio drives you nuts, doesn't it?

This is why I hate the Challenge rule. It is really close whether that was incomplete or fumbled, and the refs should look at it again to be sure, but it's too iffy for the skins to risk a time out. Why should the Skins be punished on an iffy call?

sfskin - ITA please

I thought foreskin was a golf term.

DEEEEEEEEfense!

Yeah, RR-- it's tough-- I have the MSNBC box score going up on automatic rotation too, so I catch anything that radio doesn't cover (like this whole Lions drive). Yucks.

I think it's time to pull Marcus Mason off the practice squad and start shaping him up!

Okay, that's the nuttiest play we'll see all year. KILLER blocks on that return.

I LOVE CARTRIGHT!

Like I said, Thrash is awesome and Cartwright can always be depended on.

I just had 2 heart attacks in 30 seconds!

The Reaper. Man, oh man, oh man. The Reaper's block destroyed this kid. Man.

Do You Feel Like I Do?

This game is going to kill me. This SEASON is going to kill me.

I hope jm is watching or will watch. He's gonna love that play. Reaper!

bigfish - yep I am.

Can somebody Show Me The Way to the hospital?

Ooo Baby I love your way

Dammit!!! Wish I could've seen that one-- Reaper hit sounded crucial.

I see a ton of ball security drills in the skins future

Adam

Theme song for SeanTay

I Will Ring Your Bell ell ell

The Frampton jokes have me LMGO. Nicely played.

Rediculous challenge

What are they reviewing?!?!

SCSkins

Nine official fumbles in this game.

Frampton is a better choice.

We're moving in the wrong direction. False start. 1st and goal from the 8. Stick a dagger in them. Protect the ball. A field goal could ice this game.

Field goal on it's way...just take a knee Joe, take a knee

Reviewing whether Thrash stepped out prior to the fumble; he wasn;t even close to out

Nice play Jason; great patience!

Adam

Can anyone stop Sellers? No. Dude is a machine.

Mike Sellers play today reminds me of the immortal words of Rick Astley:

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

omg...did we just break through the 20pt barrier!?!?

take a knee?

Touchdown Washington Redskins!!!
Frank herzog

redskins online radio sucks.

why am I listening to musac.

How is JLaC gonna spin this one as a terrible game?

COOOOOOOOOLEY!

nice poise jason!!!

redskins online radio "where you're never more than 20 minutes behind the live action".

Should'a played it safe ....

They really ought to roll Jason out more in the red zone. Makes a very difficult choice for a safety/db; stay in zone and yet JC run for yardage, or come up and get beat by the throw

Adam

WOW! Aggressive and effective. Haven't seen that in years!

yardage...

Skins 347
Lions 123

WOOOOHOOO!!

We scored a TD awesome throw Soups!
We go for 2?!!!
We score 2 awesome throw Soups!

SOUPS!!!!

And we did it we broke the 20 point barrier!

what happened?
NFL.com play by play actually posted pass was incomplete, attempt fails.
Then suddenly changed it to complete; attempt succeeds.

'Skins are hitting on all cylinders today.

BALANCE! Soul Swinging!

Bah, Gints up. Burress caught a huge TD.

Both these teams suck and are proving why they were picking in the top 6 last year and most other years too. Redskins defense is impressive but their offense is terrible. The sad part is that one or both of these teams may end up in the playoffs although they would both be cannon fodder for the Cowboys

don't look now but the NYG are doing it again coming back in 2nd half now leading by 3

Soul Swingin BALANCE!

Seriously, Tim Ryan is awesome. I hope we get him for the rest of the year.

Ray

JC rollout, 8 yrd toss to Sellers for TD
JC semi scramble, 2 yrd toss to Cooley for conversion

Adam

I have to fink on Nate here. He's beating me in fantasy football at the moment because he has PLAXICO on his team!!

LMGO.

Bills will get the upset win, CowPaddie lurkers!

Sorry - 3:39 was me.

Better play it safe here...

and the skins d is layin the wood on anything in a lions uni

wow

Adam

Playing prevent here...hmmm...

This game is over. We won in spite of ourselves.

garbage yards for Kitna

Diddy,

It's prevent with an attitude. Lions aren't going anywhere except to the turf after catches

Adam

D-line brought their lunch pails today. 4 sacks.

Mr. No name who says these teams would be cannon fodder for the Cowboys. WAKE UP. Right now you might be right but the Skins and Boys don't meet for another six weeks and a lot can happen then. So I'd think twice before you run your mouth. That's six weeks for this offense to continue to improve and they're doing it right now with their top two receivers. Go figure.

The Reaper with the pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Left 10 points on the field too with the missed FG and Portis' fumble.

Anyone else just sitting and giggling at the TV right now?

It feels good to feel good in the 4th quarter.

Oops that should say WITHOUT their top two WR's.

I don't want to jinx but I can't help it. . .dare we dream of the 30+?

It's funny sfskin, because JB over on CBS keeps cutting into the AFC game to report on the 'Skins. Gotta love JB.

Can't spell Kitna without i n t.

It's been a long, long time since we got to feel good in the fourth quarter.

Yea banbkokben it's a moot point now that they're in control but way to be negative and bring that up. Don't ruin this good day. Go stick your head in the sand.

Are Lennon's knickers unusually high? Or is it me?

Those last two Detriot plays told the tale of the whole game for them. Kitna closed down and sacked by speed merchant Demetric Evans, and then throws a horrible interception to Taylor with no Lions receiver in the picture whe nTaylor catches it.

You guys played well today, the schemes Grilliams put together showed the Lions up for what they are - a good set of receivers who need a much more mobile quarterback and an effective offensive line.

Great game guys. I'm gonna go chew my nails now about that 'other' game being played by those guys I won't mention because they're dead to me.

I believe we have silenced the roar :-) It's more like a quiet meow.

Everybody's dropping like flies in this game.

Has Betts returned at all?

You know CP wants to put up 6 after putting one on the ground.

It is good to ave an easy 4th but I already popped the Maalox in anticipation of a nail biter. GAK!

'Skins are decimating the Lions D. They are wilting out there.

diddy - betts just ran and had a nice spin move.

Jon,

No negativity here. It was a response to the "clicking on all cylinders" comment. I called this outcome earlier in the week. I'm up at 2:50 in the morning to follow this online. Tired but not negative.

This game is ovah.

As Frank Herzog used to say, "Goodnight, Irene."

Waaah...for the first time evah, I'm starting to really wonder about Campbell. He looks like a complete idiot out there and this is not the world's greatest DEF he's facing.

Posted by: karalynn | October 7, 2007 01:23 PM

You know it's a good game when they show the band for an extended period. Well a good game for us.

I heart Tim Ryan.

banbkokben..kudos to you for being up early. My fault for misinterpreting your post. My apology for the head in the sand comment. Get some rest after this victory. :) Hail.

Hochuli
Hochuli
Hochuli

Wonder if Hochuli has "flaxseed oil" in his lockah. : )

Now THAT'S the Frerotte I know and love.

Looks like RC's Fins are going into OT.

Do we think catch,the by receiver,the saves his job for another week?

Smoot!? Ugh. nice play but ugh

whoever it was who said they were worried about J-Cam has to be mistaken........have you seen his completion percentage??

HAIL!

Smoot layin the wood on himself.

Smoot just blew himself up. Maybe we should put the entire team in bubble wrap for the rest of the game.

Pop, pop, pop, pop...

Ouch, Smoot.

now Fred Smoot toooo????

Jon, no hard feelings. I will sleep like a baby...for about three hours.

Hopefully, the 'fire Gibbs fools' will hide under their rocks this week.

I think the receiver earns another shot - he worked hard after the catch.

Forget flaxseed oil. Hochuli needs to drink MonaVie. LOL. Haaaa. Hail

Maybe all the "Fire Gibbs" fools will go to Philawarepragicago.

Gints up 35-24

Texans driving....still time to kick a fg in regulation...

I think Smoot just had a stinger.

WOW Texas FG with :01 left over the Fins. Great finish.

bangkokben, you watching over the Internets using Yahoo?

omg. 'Fins lose again.

Carlos catches the ball!!!!!

Carlos Rogers 1st catch ever!!!

DOUBLE MOVE!!!

34 POINTS!

OMG

Rodgers with the pick and touchdown!

I'm confused. Was that just CARLOS ROGERS not only hangin onto a pick, but scoring?

FINALLY - A pick by Rogers! He didn't drop it!

CAAAAARRRRRLLLLOSSSSSSSSS

Receiver, The with a catch. Double Move with an INT. Skins score over 30. I'm speachless.

I KNOW I'm living in LaLa Land...Double Move with a pick for a TD.

Pretty impressive, folks. Looks like a week of jibba jabba with nothing to cry about.

double move!!!!

He can catch the ball when the games not on the line.

I love the close up of Blloyd saying "He caught it, he caught it." (laughing) He's the only guy who shouldn't be laughing.

Double move has as many catches as Blloyd this year.

C. Rogers. Hello!

Can't believe fans left! (Well I can) But seriously! Stay! Cheer! WOO!!

9 points by the Defense - wow, this is a new team.

Now I'm a huge Bills fan.

Excuse me, I think my computer just broke again...
now its saying C.Rogers intercepted a pass and returned it for a TD. That can't be our Carlos "hands of stone" Rogers... can it??!!

Cindy, can we get an address where we can get a crow salad sandwich delivered to Jason re: the defensive line performance? I believe his article about the line today would require -- at a minimum -- an editor's "mulligan (!)"

That was indeed Carlos Rogers. I would have preferred that he not carry the ball like it was something he'd just scooped up from his dog.

C-looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

omg...did carlos rogers just catch the ball or was someone else wearing his jersey?

Oh well, I suppose 0-5 isn't really any worse than 0-4....

And Nate is creaming me in the fantasy with Plaxico and the Giants D who just scored a TD themselves against the Jests.

Double Move!!!!

Dang, the Ketel is flowing and the SKINS are 3-1. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO hoooooooooooooo!!

I think I just saw a flying unicorn go by!

Sorry Redcoat,

Playing Beck and playing for draft position should be priority now.

For all of those in my fantasy football league (and that means everyone other than me) who called me a homer & derided my starting the Skins D this week, I have two words for you:

Eat me.

That is all. Hail!

I think I just died and went to heaven.

LMAO Cyn Cyty

yardage...

Lions 174
Skins 366

I would like to just take this moment to thank XXX ESPN for not returning out of the break yet, so I missed the INT for TD by double move!!

This happened repeatedly today!
Aggravating!

Leftwich in the game for the Falcons. What happened there?

RC-

Dare to dream? 0-16?

For the record..I think I'll prefer XXX rated TV to XXX ESPN Radio LMAO. :)

Thanks Cosmo. It's typical that we lose to a 57yd field goal. That stuff only happens when you've made losing your habit.

I think we'll stick with Lemon until we get eliminated from contention (only a couple of weeks now) unless he actually starts to look good.

And the Panthers just beat the Saints with a 53yarder, see what I mean?

RC - Don't feel so bad. Saints just lost to Carolina by a game winning FG.

HaikuMan, can you rephrase that in the form of a haiku?

:-)

Was it really 88 degrees at Fed EX today?

Diddy, I believe the Joey Harrington era in ATL has ended. Pulled for Leftwich

Adam

Leftwich is a CD-SQBS.
[Coaches' decision-Starting QB sjks]

Looking forward to farstriker's ode this week.

It's hideously hot and humid here.

BTW Saints lost because they took Mare from Miami. that guy just doesn;t kick well when the game is on the line. He misses, Kasay nails it, Saints lose.

Cindy LMAO

A tip of my beer for Joey. So sad so see you go

Adam

For my man PD:

An invitation
To the haters in my league:
Eat me. Skins' D rocked.

Gus Frerotte... 3 picks, less than 50% completion percentage.

LOL Haikuman! Good for you!

I only wish....

That was an unattractive play by the Falcs.

Correction: re-reading the bit (actually, it was Jasno's clip from two threads ago), I believe it is the Skins who merit the ham sandwich (and not crow salad sandwich eating required). THE GAMBLE PAID OFF LIKE LOOSE SLOTS!

"A few things got cut from my story today - lot going in the sports world this weekend and only so much space to go around - including what I thought was one of the more important sentences in the whole piece.

So I'll paste it here:

"The Redskins ignored their maligned defensive line this offseason - a potent four-man pass rush is mandated this month - explaining that an improved secondary will create more time for the linemen to attack. That thesis will be tested against the next four opponents."

We shall see how that gamble pays off against all of these pass-happy offenses with their explosive personnel. ..."

Tennessee wins on a sack. Pats still undefeated. Colts just scored. Red Zone Channel rocks.

Jasno will focus on the CP fumble and the injuries.

He will mention the win in the last sentence.

Um should I subject myself to Niners Ravens? I do have things to do theoritcally.

Nothing is more important than watching fubball, SF

I like the 4 p.m. games...

I would like to just take this moment to thank XXX ESPN for not returning out of the break yet, so I missed the INT for TD by double move!!

This happened repeatedly today!
Aggravating!

Posted by: Redskin Ray | October 7, 2007 04:06 PM

I just want to really want to emphasize this post because those of us who are out of town basically missed this game. I'm a longtime skins fan (born and raised in dc) and had to move to Boston recently for work. I could not believe how much of the game I missed on the radio. Without exaggeration, there wasn't a single drive by the Redskins where the broadcast wasn't cut off for minutes at a time for inane music or promos. I had the online radio on for the entire game and if I hadn't had the gametracker up and the blog it would have been impossible to follow. Most frustrating fan experience I've ever had.

So thanks to everyone on the blog for the commentary, sorry for the rant, and HTTR.

Obviously Cyn Cyty you are right. I just felt like I needed to say it out loud. Makes me sound "responsible."

Night all! Hail to the Redskins!

Watching Gibbs presser. Intersting and good (I think) that he is not smiles and giddy. He's serious and cranky.

BALANCE!
SWINGIN SOULS!

Out of towners (like myself) - It's called DirecTV Sunday Ticket. Look it up sometime.

I could write you a note, SF.

The NFL sells their Field Pass product if you want paid-for access to the radio broadcasts. Folks have been complaining about the free online radio on redskins.com.

That'd be great Cyn!

Norv looks great today. Ineffective and incompetent. But looks great nonetheless. I like that fleece he's wearing.

sfskin, giggles would be impossible (physically) for St. Joe right now. I don't know if you've ever seen a before/after pic of Joe Gibbs on gameday, but its similar to the before/after a two term president. The man is 100% into the game (not to mention the diabetes). The game is a turbo vacuum cleaner on his constitution.

DirecTV would be nice, but just because there's one outlet (which is bit expensive for me) doesn't mean that the other one should be unusable.

not to mention the HUGE injury depletions today (ARE, Marcus, even more wear and tear on Portis' knee).

sween - yeah giggles aren't ever there I know but it's interesting that he is sober sober sober. No fighting our guts out blah blah blah stuff.

Thanks P Diddy for the Field Pass tip. I haven't tried that yet

To Whom It May Concern:
Please excuse SFSkin from what you erroneously perceive to be any kind of productive activity for the rest of the day. She is under the weather and medical personnel insist that only fubball can make her well. And beer.

Blog question: Remind me, is the rule of thumb that is OK to talk about this game till mid afternoon tomorrow? and move on the Packer talk Tuesday?

Philip Rivers with the TD. He looked like a wounded duck running to the pylon, but he's in there.

Rams just scored to make it 34-31 Arizona...onside kick coming up, :13 left.

Wow who'd thunk the STL ARZ game would be this "big"?

XXX radio is a free sevrice provided by redskins.com. What exactly do you expect for free? If someone is not willing to pony up a little money for the privilege of seeing live games then they shouldn't really be complaining about a free service.

Sween, there are no blaws on this because such a dominating win is really uncharted territory (no negativity intended!) in the 13-month history of the blog...I think that discussing this game until, say, noon and then moving on the Pack is a wise decision.

sween, I believe the rule of thumb is to first ponder firing St. Joe, trading Betts, cutting Receiver, The, and trading for Priest Holmes. Cowboys fans have the option of trash talking first or babbling incoherently, whichever they fancy. Giants fans and Eagles fans (Adam excepted) do not possess the necessary vocabulary to join in the conversation.

We are allowed to talk about Green Bay on Friday. Thursday is reserved for bashing "Grey's Anatomy".

Hope that helps.

We can crank this up tomorrow, but the D totally jacked up their game and Williams gets the game ball. Joe/Saunders deliver on the BALANCE. Thirty plus touches by the backs ... but to get to 30, its SELLERS who gets the offensive game ball. I love that he's finally being recognized as the complete H-back-type (FB/RB/TE) he can be. This was 2005 Mike Sellers today.

Wow, Chargers score on the Rivers TD, Broncos fumble the ensuing kickoff, Chargers take it in for the score. SD 14, Denver 0.

Pour me some Kool=Aid Please!

Thanks Redskins, now I don't have to beat my dog today.

Sween - think Cyn and Diddy summed it up well. We are in unicorn territory so don't know how to handle it.

Certainly we need to shake our blog booties for at least 1-2 days sprinkled with sober analysis and ITAing the poopypants who are gonna show up.

Diddy...with an chemical peel and emergency dermabrasion, Norval is looking rather svelt today.

Alrighty, nap time for me. Wake me up if anything happens :-)

So with Landry shutting down fellow rookie superstar Calvin "Megatron" Johnson does that make Landry's new name "Optimus Prime"?

oh yeah peeps!!! great victorty...lets soak this up today!!!!!!!!

my game ballz:

1. entire defense
2. mike sellers
3. JC...best game as skin...

for the idiot who bashed JC earlier on this thread...step off fool!

Hey Dorf, I'm around if your dog feels like he needs to beat someone else instead today.

Why do Miami break Redcoat's heart?

Yeah, mad props to Double G on the scheme. Completely screwed up Martz and Kitna. And then props to everyone on the D for some serious hitting. They turned YAC into yikes; Lions WRs were diving to the ground to avoid being killed after catches.

Think the Lions have been exposed as paper cats. Now the Skins need to get healthy so they're ready for better teams.

Adam

Personally, I really need Norv Turner to be Norv Turner today ...

Watching the highlights on Fox right now. WOW did the second half blow me away ... Sean Taylor pick, Carlos pick. FIVE sacks. WOW! Turning it over like vinyl on a turntable.

Sunday ticket is $250 for a 17 week season which breaks down to $14.71 a week. If you cannot afford that then I am very sorry for you. Plus you are a redskins fan. Ouch, you should go jump off a bridge

So Colts Left Guard Keith just catches a TD pass!?! They're just messing with people's heads now. Colts 13-0, no way back for Tampa I fear.

The missus took the girls out ... now I need to feign productivity ... back tomorrow. One word. WOW.

Landry is Optimus Prime!

Broncos just fumbled in the red zone. Chargers may blow this one out...

and they need to hang onto the ball. can't put the ball on the ground that much without eventually paying for it

I think Joe and co are going to correct that this week with a lot of ball security drills.

Adam

Broncs are self-destructing right now.

SF Balti is exaclty what you'd think good d game but snoozy.

I should take my dog out before she pees on me.

Back later.

My bad, it was a blocked kick for Keith.

Some folks (like CL, for example) live in dense urban areas where you can't get a satellite signal.

So do this mean that God loves Joe Gibbs more than Jon Kitna?

Well, St. Joe is a Saint.

Being forced to watch Baltimore/San Fran. It's almost enough to make me steal one of the For Sale signs in my neighborhood and pound it into my front yard.

There was just this really awesome punt!

Grey's Anatomy really does stink.

XXX radio is a free sevrice provided by redskins.com. What exactly do you expect for free? If someone is not willing to pony up a little money for the privilege of seeing live games then they shouldn't really be complaining about a free service.

Who are you, Vinny "sycophant" Cerrato?

Last time I checked radio didn't cost anything.

Little prick danny s. just wants to abuse fans and suck every last nickel and dime he can outta people.

You probably enjoy the $20 nachos and $12 beers....

Now all I need to see is the Yankees lose tonight and I will have the best weekend ever.

Seriously, I've sobered off the Kool-Aid a bit.

Skins need to work on recovering Fumbles.
Hamstring exercises?

It's nice to see this kind of stuff on the other team's blog. Read the comments.

http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2007/10/redskins_34_lions_3.html

Is today really the day to bash eachother and call eachother out as "real" skins fans over the evil empire that is DirectTV? Grow the hell up. People got lots of rasons that might not work for them and they are valid,

I watch at horrendously over crowded sports bars with hordes of Steelers fans and pony up my cash for food and drinks, if someone has to rely on free web radio feed so F's be it...lay off D-bags!

Now back to enjoying skins victory...

Wow!

What a day. I just returned from watching that thing of beauty with Nate in the PDX at our local watering hole. We took over an entire bar as there was about 10-15 true Skins fans in attendance. Impromptu, full versions, of HTTR was chanted at various times.

Basically paradise.

PDiddy, you should travel down to Ptown for next week's game. The bar has guaranteed us the "big screen" out of 30 TVs.

Hey, the Detroit blog has usernames and passwords...

any chance we get that up here Cindy?

Stumpy! sounds totally fun, congrats on converting a bar!!!!! Nate is a blast to watch games with!

CL - Basicly what I was saying is people shouldn't really bi$ch and moan about a free service so much. Beggars can't be choosers. The other douchebag started in on the bashing.

Go to a bar (like yourself), get NFL Gameday or DirecTV if you can but don't sit around expecting the best for free.

I'll forward your request for usernames and passwords....What do the rest of you think?

Maybe all the "Fire Gibbs" fools will go to Philawarepragicago.

LMGO at the smooth ad-culture reference. Who else but P Diddy could play it so right.

OMG, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade,

but DO NOT GAZE at the dermitage ad at the top of the blog (at least for me right now, curse it all).

It will turn you to stone.

How did they get Medusa to pose for the ad?

Arrgh, my eyes.

The game was on triplexespnradio.com, not redskins.com. But another option is Sirius radio. I listened to the game on there and the annoying commercial thing didn't happen, when I got home and listened on the pc, the annoying music pissed me off so I had to go to my car and listen to it.

I think usernames and passwords would be a good thing.

I vote no on user/pass........I like the freeedom wild west nature

RTS - XXX radio is on redskins.com as well or at least the link is there. Personally I can't stand to listen to Sam anymore so I never tune in.

Anywho - We won an excellent game today and shouldn't be complaining about anything. I think I'll go DMGO in celebration.

Why is it I hear Walt Harris's name on almost every defensive play the 49ers are making? I thought the reason you ran him out of town was he sucked?

Can we please talk about JC now???? Dude just straight plays, poised, field general, today he was accurate, quick and was able to float in the pocket to help the pass protection

Just waiting to see how JLC puts a negative spin on this game.

Time will tell.

Don't know if this was posted before but check out this soulja boy remix - crank that redskin boy

http://media.putfile.com/Week-5-Crank-that-Redskins

Chris Larry, I am totally with you about Campbell!! Great game from him.

And anonymous, I was just thinking the same thing about JLC....he will find something bad to say....probably "well, it was just Detroit."

the lions suck...there is a reason they pick top 5 every year

F perspective....

when was the last time we beat anybody by 31 points....

What a collection of egos out there today: lil synder, gibbs, gregggggggggggggggg williams, mike martz, jon kitna, roy williams, matt millen, etc

damn right CL. Easy wins are hard to come by with the Skins. Lets enjoy it. Packer hate starting tomorrow.

Also this can't be a "huge test" for skins defense and than when they completely shut them down, its a "well you were suppossed to" situation thats straight bull-SJK

I don't understand why you guys are bashing JLC now. He rightly pointed out that the Skins didn't address an area of concern in the off-season, and I seem to recall that it was a subject of considerable discussion on this here Blog throughout the offseason too.

All he said was "we will see if they were right to go that way after these 4 games", he's correct, you will see. So now, because you've won the first one he should be eating humble pie? What happens if you lose the next 3 with no d-line pressure on the QB? Is he still wrong?

The Skins played pretty well today on both sides of the ball, no doubt of that, but the Lions barely contested anything of the physical aspect of the game at all. When a team loses the mental battle SO badly it's hard to get a good picture of where things really are. You guys were biting your nails until close to the end, don't forget that.

Bask in the warm glow of victory, but don't start thinking that means that the rest of the season is a cake-walk, because remember the Eagles put 56 points on that Lions team and much good it's done them.

You're going to have a real good fight in the NFC East this year as long as you can win the first game against the Cowgrrls to bring them back to the pack a bit, otherwise it's you guys and the Jints fighting for second place and a wildcard.

Is this a dream? I've just arrived at worked, logged on to NFL.com and see that we won 34-3, Carter had 2 sacks and a safety, and Mr.Rogers had an interception!

Is this bizarro world??

Who is saying anything is a cake walk...???....

I told you guys I would step it up today. Pro Bowl here I come.

Hmmm looks like I missed nothing in the SF game but got some awesome Blue Angels action coming up.

Soups was outstanding today. And I mean outstanding for where he is in his career. Best day as a Skins I think.

cL, maybe I'm misreading, but it seems that people are taking Jasno to task for a statement that he made about the next 4 games of the season (3 now) just because the first game proved it wrong.

I think if the Redskins go 4-0 or even 3-1 in those 4 games, they would be proven justified in leaving the d-line intact. Your d-line looked VERY good this week, but it was 'just Detroit' in that Kitna is on target for being sacked 70+ times this season.

Sorry about Trent Green there Redcoat. That was tough to watch 2 times getting carted off in 2 years. But I never really felt uneasy in a game for once today and see it as entirely possible 3 teams can come out of the east like last year. Saints are done, Chicago could be done in a few hours and the west stinks.

Here is why SF is the best city in the country in my totally subjective opinion.

Where else in the nation do you have the Folsom Street Fair one weekend and Fleet Week the next? Plus as usual the loony lefties have to protest the Blue Angels cause "they're too militaristic."

Meanwhile in Berkeley some really committed loonies are camping in some trees to protect them from a $100million athletic center.

Best city in the country.

Janso puts it out there, and he is gonna get slapped when people see hima s wrong...its the style/relationship he has established. The D line has played pretty damn well all season so far I think and seems like maybe the coaching staff has been proven right in believeig in some of these dudes...

Janso can take it...

Maybe you're right cHriS. Yesah cdubb, it was pretty ugly, but it maybe a blessing in disguise for the Dolphins for the rest of the season.

So do we think they're going to try and "rush" Santana back if ARE has a serious hammy? Thrash doesn't have the speed to go downfield and of course there is Mostly Invisible - here we go with another week of saying he has to step it up now.
Presumabley Soups has better timing with him due to longer practice time than with any of the newbies.

and for BALANCE sake

Generally great protection of Soups this week by the o-line. He did use his feet well most of the time too.

Congrats on the RWC Redcoat! I wonder what the odds were, that the four semi-finalists would be South Africa, England, France and Argentina!

Receiver, The with a catch. Double Move with an INT. Skins score over 30. I'm speachless.

Holy Crap...that's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time on this blog

Is it me, or is this Balmer / SF game complete and utter garbage?

I thought I'd waste the whole day watching games today and so far I've seen Redskins (v.good) vs. Lions (horrible) and Balmer (awful) vs. SF (even worse).

I hope the Bears v. Packers game has better play from both teams!

I can't wade thru all this stuff, did anyone notice that CAMPBELL arrived BIG TIME today?

He was firing darts. Reading progressions, making right decisions, moving well in the pocket.

Can anyone say FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK?

On the down side, what the heck is he deal with all the Redskins muscle pulls? They have more pulled groins and stretched hammies than the crowd at a strip club.

I swear I think this may be the most boring fubol game I've seen in years.

Even when the offense/defenses do something it's a yawner.

They should fly the Blue Angels over the Stick to liven it up.

Okay I can't take it anymore. I'm going to watch the blue angels.

4pm games are all boring.

Later.

HAIL HAIL HAIL

Thanks Kost. I watched the highlights and it looks like your guys still haven't figured that scrummaging is actually part of the game! Your front five play was schoolboy level for most of the game, truly horrible.

But at least you didn't choke like the all blacks did - again.

I don't think anyone would have called those 4 for the semis! Still if we're to beat the French next weekend it's going to have to be a low-scoring game again.

Nice. Welcome Jason.

I told you guys I would step it up today. Pro Bowl here I come.

Posted by: Lloyd, Brandon | October 7, 2007 05:48 PM

Ok ...sorry BigFish....THIS is the funniest thing I've heard today!!

Wow, thanks for going out sfskin - Trent Dilfer suddenly completes 2 passes for 65yds and a TD, where did that come from in this game?

I told you guys I would step it up today. Pro Bowl here I come.

Ironicly - That was also me.

Redcoat, can you PLEASE tell me why you are on here blogging about how JLC is right and "it was just Detroit"?

If I remember correctly, Detroit has only lost one game and your Dolphins have not won even ONE game!

Can you not realize that this is a big day of celebration for us? Our D, offense, and special teams played great and we are ecstatic and celebrating! Next week we have Green Bay and it will be a very tough game. Within the next 2 days we will start worrying about that game.

However,TODAY is not the day to try and bring us dowm. If you can't say anything good...say nothing at all...or go visit the Dolphins blog.

Why must I be subjected to the Sorry Ravens play every week?!?!?

And every team they play sucks......

Are Baltimorians subjected to Redskin games every week??

This may be breaking the blog rules but I am less worried about Green Bay than a I was about the Lions. 12-4 baby!!

***2005 Steelers***
***2007 Cats (kost)***

Chargers putting on a clinic in Denver today.

First, watching the Ravens on offense is like watching two guys kiss each other on the mouth.

Second, excellent win for the skins. A lot of important things went great for us here. Underrated great thing: that int return for a TD maybe a career changer for Carlos Rogers. That will give him confidence going forward and I think we could see the emergence of that dude. I also think he has been getting a raw deal on the blog because he has been hitting so hard and has been great against the run..covering has been mediocre. We shall see. Hail Redskins.

northpole1,

Zero pressure on Campbell. He looked Like Montana!

"

Lisa, please read my comments again. I didn't say JLC ewas right, but I DID say that he isn't wrong, yet.

Congratulations on the win. I'll try not to comment again until the Dolphins win, as apparently that's the only thing that allows someone to have an opinion contrary to your own.

Bye.

NFL Scoreboard onf NFLN is waaay better than any Bmore game live...

Is it me is McNair like Brunell last year with all the dink and dunking?

Skins highlights coming up next.....

The Governor - I agree in regards to Rogers, especially hands wise, I reckon anytime a catchable pass came his way, he would think his way out of it. After a big INT like that, I can imagine him playing with a lot more confidence.

Looks like McCardell did some good things without being around too long!

Yes,

Apparently double move found the little footnote in the rule book that says DB's are allowed to catch the ball. That should help him tremendously in his career.

You know everything is going your way when you have an Ocho Cinco sighting and a Carlos Rogers pick in the same game.

Andre Carter was a beast today and that crack block that the Reaper threw on Thrash's return...I nearly sharted.

Redcoat, my opinion certainly does not rule on this blog.....I have been brought down many times. In fact, I rarely blog anymore due to all the negativity.

Which is why I was disturbed by your comments on a day like today that was so exciting for us.

I have absolutely nothing against the Dolphins - and I feel really badly for Trent Green. I was just questioning why you had to even make that statement about Jason - especially today. That's all I meant.

What's up with all the hammys this year. Don't these guys stretch????

Chargers hand Denver the biggest loss ever at home. 41-3.

Funny thing is that I yanked both my hamstrings yesterday while playing flag football. Oldmanitis, sadly.

Late games are dullll...can you believe San Diego putting up 41 points? Indy, of course, keeps rolling. Baltimore-SF...anybody care? Besides Jasno, that is.

Sorry Stumped and Nate...my car doesn't get here until the 20th, so can't get down to Portland for the game until after that. I'll be in SF the weekend of the 26th, possibly flying to Boston for Redskins/Patriots first thing on the 28th.

I do believe that is Brunell playing for the Ravens today.

Hey bigfish....

Do I win a cookie for getting the Thrash catch "first"? :)

He caught his before Lloyd made his once a season nab. ;)

- Ray

I don't think I can muster up any "hate" for the Packers. I adore Brett Favre. Obviously, I'm rooting for the 'Skins, but I can never root against Favre. We'll chalk it up to a moral failing of mine...

Hey Lisa, olive branch. I've reread my posts and they certainly read worse than I intended. Put this down to me being cranky because:

:. That team that is "dead to me" is now 0-5 after the opposition kicked 3/3 field goals from beyond 50 yards...
g. I was hoping to watch an exciting Redskins v. Lions game which turned very quickly into a rout. Who cares why that happened, it was a great result for you guys, but it sucked for an 'impartial observer' because I'd hoped to see lots of points from both sides and Detriot were NEVER competitive, you were way too good for them.
4. The second game of the day (B'more v. SF) has had precisely two passes worth of excitement in it!

I'm sorry if you feel driven away from the Blog these days. I agree that things are different on here now, and by no means all for the better. I you want to take that offline feel free to email me at usredcoat at gmail dot com.

As a non-Skins fam I enjoy chatting with you guys, but if I have outstayed my welcome, just let me know.

Boo on redskins.com for not being Mac/Safari friendly.

Funny thing is, I can't imagine P Diddy playing flag football...

Cowher sounds like he wants the Skins job on the TV, he's got nothing but priase for you guys!

Ray, It's actually a ham sandwich and if you want to e-mail me your address I'll send it to you via FedEx Ground or snail mail.

Lisa, don't let the negativity get to you.

Abide sister. Thas all.

Peeps, be ready for the Cowpokes nation to be up here tomorrow saying how great they are and how the Lions were a horrible team even though they've only beat teams with losing records including two of the 0-fors still in the league. Stay classy and ITA.

Really? I played football and hockey (ice back east and up here in Seattle, roller when I lived in California) forever.

Olbermann just pulled the "Great Odin's Raven" quote. Lovely.

I love how Double Move's TD isn't getting that much airplay on all the replays because it was an afterthought TD. Poor guy can't catch a break...or a football.

Dorf, we have a game tomorrow night. Are you free Tuesday?

So, I'm thinking we get
Buck and the articulate Cowgirl next week, huh?

Just did a quick scan. Note sure what's up with the
