Skins Get Within 5 at the Half

"and even though the Redskins settled for 3 instead of 7 at the end of thehalf"

Are you kidding me?? You really think they should have been going for 7 in that situation?

Let's go zebre hunting.

Someone please tell Zorn to keep running left untilk they stop them.

Run left, reverse to D. Thomas. See how that works.

Cooley has to work on his ball spinning.

My man Cooley!

Get ARE outta there.

illadelph had 8/9 guys on the line on that 3rd down. wish we would have read that and passed.

Bad playcalling there...Get Thomas the ball again.

Woot good stop!

ARE is gator arming the passes like he's afraid to get hit.

Is it me, or does the first drive/quarter of every game start off poorly for the Redskins defense, but then they completely tighten up everything thereafter??

nice D!!!

good first series on Defense!

****************************************

Totally. Same with the O-line - JC got sacked first drives of both of the last two games - he just had time to find ARE.

Portis on FIRE!!

CP baby!

ARE actually held on to a pass!!!

And now CP goes for 21!!!

I love me some CP.


I love me some CP.

NUMBER 11!! ALRIGHT!

Portis seems to have come to play...

Uno Uno with a catch , nice

I love it! I love it! I love it! Let's go!!!

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY!!!!!

Get Thomas a bunch of catches today...

cooooooooooooley

Woo hoo!!!

LARGE!!!!!!!

Game isn't on up here in Boston, whats the call with Cooley?

is it still a TD or overturned?

It's going to be a TD. There was no # confusion...

Thats a TD baby!

Lisa IS NOT ALLOWED TO POST DURING THE REST OF THE GAME!

OWNED

ARE end-around, pulls up to pass to Cooley for a TD.

Being challenged (maybe the refs can move the line of scrimmage during the timeout).

Dumb challenge.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Unless she apologizes ofcourse......

skins hurry-up baits mr reid into blowing a time-out. . .

I love everybody!!! 4th floor is da man!!!

Thanks dag...

Instead of Wash/Philly, I'm forced to watch NY/Seattle, which is 34-6 NY.

dumb challenge indeed! reid should be yelling "why did you even open your fat mouth" to whoever told him to challenge.

Rule #1 - Get the lead

Rule #2 - protect the lead

Rule #3 - extend the lead

Rule #4 - please see rules 1-3

Let's go Boys!

HAIL!!! F Filthadelphia!

"Touchdown Washington Redskins"
Frank Herzog

ugh. Sunday ticket Greg. Or a bar.

Again, playing with house money now. Win or lose, we have punched them in the nose.

I'm with you Beantown! Guys, give more info please. NFLN is way behind and espn980 is even further behind.

I lummy some Redskins!

But I don't like the idea of buttoning everything together in the SECOND HALF of a game. Play to win, not to catch up.

I would love for Washington to win this game, because then the analysts, the rest of the league, EVERYONE will HAVE to take Washington quite seriously.

Beantown Greg, go to Yahoo Sports Game Channel. It gives on-time play by play.

BTW, Realness, you have to switch rules 2 and 3.

Dag, how is the Sunday Tic? Worth the money?

We are abusing their vaunted LBs on ground and in the air.

Defense cant let down now

Question for everyone:
My area is not showing Skins today, so I am listening to the Skins Broadcast team.

Did the Skins really think ARE might have gone beyond the line, or were they hustling to get Philly to use a TO?

Did TV broadcast say anything regarding this?

Yes 'Los!!

YEAH BABY! Get McNabb off the field

D-E-F-E-N-S-E!

The Skinz are loolin' good.

D - lookin OK
O - lookin OK
Special Teams - lookin OK

These guys are lookin good...

WOW!

HTTR

Dag, how is the Sunday Tic? Worth the money?

**************************************
TOTALLY worth it! This is my first year and I signed up in July when I moved to Texas and got some crazy promotion so it's practically free (plus I get ALL the movie channels). Next year I'll have to buck up hte $250, but for hte 6-8 games I'll need it (going to 4 games and we have some nationally televised games), I would spend more sitting in a bar. Plus, my only TV option right now is Indy/Texans. And you can watch other games at the half - or if things get boring. I am a fan. Don't seem to get the Skins pregame stuff though for some reason.

I don't get Sunday ticket (can't possibly watch any more fubball)... but got to see it last week when I was running the west coast fan experience)... I liked the red zone channel, and you never (? almost never, I guess) have to worry about missing a game.

Only at the cost of your firstborn. Seems like a fair trade to me!

I am curious as to why didn't the Skins for two-point conversation. A one-point lead is no worse than a two-point lead. Anyone have any thoughts?

C P!

Thanks guys.

Betts needs a few more carries...

I normally can spell the word "the".

We really need to score more points!

I think too early for the 2. But I would not be irate if they had gone for it.

LH -- conventional wisdom is that you don't start consulting the "go for two" Ouija board until the 4th quarter.

time for a big gainer to Cooley!!

BTW, Realness, you have to switch rules 2 and 3.

Posted by: patriotnumber18 | October 5, 2008 3:04 PM

We can't get to 3 w/o 2. never want to just trade scores, ideally. D must make stops so we can score more!

No onew can stop the double move.

Asante -- "well, Thrash gave me the Double Move. What could I do?"

I should say "Thrash gave me a double move"...
wtf is he doing on Thrash?

WTF NUMBER 11

Did TV broadcast say anything regarding this?

I think skins were worried, tried to hurry-up.

Philly d will be sporting the red necktie by the time the 4th comes around. . .

Lets not conservative here.

Brooks is so hit or miss, more miss today.

bad play calling on 3rd down there....

ugh...what a crappy punter....

Thomas PI call was an effort mistake. Can't be mad at that. He just started blocking too early.

This is ridiculous. I've never seen a WR called for som many Pass Interference calls. What a knuckle head.

Greg - did they just change the game from the Seattle/Giants game so you can see this one? Just curious who the "new audience" they're talking about is.

Watch out fo rthe screen pass to Westbrook...

I agree 11 was just overdoing it on the effort. . .

let's go D! ! !

GET OFF THE FIELD MC NABB!!

Woot lovin the D

Thank you Tank Daniels

London Fletcher is a BEAST! Love him.

Okay, need some points!

Woo hoo! ARE ran straight AND there's a facemask! Nice.

Thanks SUZ!!!!

whoa. ARE ran north/south actually.

ARE seems to be learning to return punts.

philly sportin' that real nice frustrated-in-a-red-necktie look. . .

Cooley is cleaning house against me in the FFL

C MOTHER F'ING P!!!!!!

That should get cp over 100

is it just me, or is porting running very well, but doesn't have that extra gear anymore? or is the eagles defense just that fast?

Sonny just said that is 4 straight 3 and outs for out D.

Doc Walker just said: I think we are ready to take over this game now!

Gotta get a TD

I got cooley sittin on the bench. . .

Portis 23 carries for 131 5.6 avg.

I think as long as we put up points this is a good drive skins, but a TD is a backbreaker.

Doh!!!!

Folks we DOMINATED the third quarter.
Now, we must get 7 because that would put us up 2 scores.
If we get only 3, a touchdown beats us.

Now I see wisdom of kicking that EP. We score here, it's a 9 point lead rather than 8. That's why they chose Zorn over me.

backbreaker TD

We are running it down their throats why try to get cute, now we will have to throw on 3rd down and Philly knows it!

beep beep

I will say it again... C MOTHER F'ING P!!!

Portis is alos killing me in FFL, but like I give a flying crrp.

Now that was a GREAT call because everyone expected a pass!

woo hoo

I got Cooley playing on my work FFL - got me some good points today. knew he would get me some good points eventually.

is it just me, or is porting running very well, but doesn't have that extra gear anymore? or is the eagles defense just that fast?

He doesn't. I noticed the same thing in an earlier game this season. No matter, long as he can still punch it in! TD!

btw. I don't know why people complain about Aikman. I think his analysis is pretty good and fair. he's been very positive about the skins today,.

CPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They did just switch the NY game to this one.

I'm stationed at Luke AFB in horrible, boring, hot-ass Phoenix, and as soon as suzanne mentioned it, I left my Dorm to go see if it was this game they switched to.

Somehow, in between the 15 seconds it took for me to go from my room to the TV room, Portis got into the redzone on that one play. I missed it. Damnit.

Oh well. Clinton Earl Portis is just that fast.

Don't know if you all know it, but Philly only has ONE FIRST DOWN SINCE THE FIRST QUARTER.

H.T.T.R. The game ain't over yet, but I'm sayin it. As a matter of fact, I'll say it again.

H.T.T.R.

So will WAS give it away? Anyway, though, even if PHL wins, WAS has played very well. I am hoping that they hold PHL to a FG here.

Nice goal line stand folks.

new blog post guys :)

Hey folks there's a new thread.
