It's a Ballgame Now, at the Half

urinal cakes....

I'm super proud of this team. They've clamped down on Carson Palmer, Corey Dillon, etc and find themselves right back in the thick of things. Fight your guts out boys!

Even if they win this game. There are a lot of concerns coming out of this game.

Portis needs to put up some numbers in the 2nd half. His longest run from scrimmage is only 31 yards. Cincinatti's starting HB gets 79 yards on a screen. Something Portis should be doing if he is so frickin great.

Defensively it looks like this week had a huge effect on their morale. Let's hope it doesn't end the season for them.

I hope our team leaders are in the locker room throwing chairs and screaming. Who are our team leaders? Do we have any?

It looks like CIN is reverting back to CIN and WAS is showing some dignity, but I'm not going to be optomistic quite yet. Whatever the case I hope that Zorn is screaming at the team, turning tables, and on fire in the lockerroom.

Snidley Owl just downed his 3rd Martini ... getting ready ... lots of cold hallways in Cincinatti ...

i hope zorn lit the locker room on fire.....literally. I hope he brought a triden, and a hand grenade......

OMG. Suisham kicked it in the endzone. Hell has frozen over.

need to get more people involved in the offense, throw the ball to Thomas, Sellah's, and Betts, to open things up

Hey guys this team is fighting their guts out and playing with tons of heart.

need some turnovers...

Another sign of JZ's inexperience. He should've had two calls then and not use the final TO.

I surprised Snyder hasn't hired you to be the HC!

How is portis suppose to run?? There are 11 people in his face.. Not to mention is Old a$$ lineman in his way

Well, it's bearable now, for the moment.

It seems obvious that Moss' "me,me,me" celebration in the endzone has everything to do with Portis getting away with his rant this week. It's time to lay down some heavy, heavy monetary fines.

The two replacement tackles are not stinking up the joint like I thought they would, with the exception of not being able to line up.

I still don't think that this team will make the playoffs, even if they win today.

defense held.....offense...your turn...

good thing that pass was terrible. the wr was open.......

KHARYYYYYYYYYYY GRRRR

wow! some of these post are rediculous...

FIRE DANNY SMITH!!!!!!!!! HAS IT EVER BEEN DONE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME???

Nice another penalty.

Good job guys.

I feel like everytime Moss goes back they hold or block in the back. Regardless, though, you saw what he can do just by spinning out of those two defenders reach.

MOSS EVERY SINGLE PLAY FROM HERE ON OUT.

I just put on a Skins cap and the cat hissed at me. Even the animal kingdom is aware of the ineptitude in Ashburn.

wow! some of these post are rediculous...

moss is wearin that guys stuff out.....

W just got a face full of shoe in iraq. can we do the same with snyder?

The 'Skins getting to you?

In need of a laugh?

Watch this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7782422.stm

are these plays that the team is making because of, or in spite of, JZ? just want the "fire Zorn now crowd" to answer that.

shot to fred davis down the mddle will be open

Seriously, I'm going to keep say it, Moss all day.

JC and Moss stepping up

Sellers laid someone out

apparently they are going to moss the rest of the game..

TOSS LEFT!!!! WIDE FIELD...

are these plays that the team is making because of, or in spite of, JZ? just want the "fire Zorn now crowd" to answer that.

Well, they are playing the BENGALS. That may have something to do with it.

I hope because of JZ. Hopefully he showed some leadership skills during halftime nd got the team focused.

Fire Zorn, the guy shuld have never been hired to begin with and Snyder is a complete moron. Why don't people boycott the games at FEedEx and hit Snyder where it really hurts, his fat wallet.

3rd and 1....gotta push this in.

no touchdown, did not break the plane

Run it to Moss.

But seriously, how could Portis not get a touch on 1st or 2nd?

If this were Tom Coughlin the referees would have upheld the call.

give it to cp....

This is riduclous

LOL.. Typical. We lose the ball on the goaline.

is this a legit fumble...

WTF! One the one and you don't give it to CP.

JM220

OMG this is not fair. why run that play twice in a row, just let portis run it in

WOW!!!!

Don't challenge it.

How can that be a fumble with zero forward progress. That play was over. I hate refs in the replay era

SJK for that.

You could go for it on 3rd, go for it on 4th, the Bengals get it in safety country.

You can't give them the ball at the 20.
~

Reminds me of the Cleveland-Denver game where Earnest Byner fumbled the ball at the goal line and DEN came back to win.

CAN ANYTHING GO OUR WAY??????????

IT'S LIKE THE B A D NEWS BEARS!!!!!!!!

How do you not run Portis once????? That is personal or stupidity.....

I guess Zorn is sending Portis a message... and peeing away what was left of the Redskins season.

Heckuva job, Zorny.

Portis CAN'T run it in. Shoulda been a qb sneak. Period.

Sonny keeps screaming, "give the ball to Portis" WTF

To me it looked like Sellers at least broke the plane when he jumped up. Him trying to go around fifteen pairs of arms to get it in was stupid.

Okay, why did CP not get one touch on that series? This is why Zorn gets criticized. I mean, WTF?

For the last time Sellers is not a RB, he is a lead blocking back. Fukcing stupid.

And that one is on zorny!!!! Hubris!!!! Why not give it to portis? Once????? Ibtch!!!!! F his stupid dumb a$$!!! A hole!!!

F vinny!!!!

Helpful vocab list for RI posts today:

High dudgeon

Perfidy

Small-man complex

Weltschmerz

“wrath of Achilles”

Obviously Zorn holds a grudge and would rather lose the game than Give the carry to Portis at the 1yard line

haha, where are all the GET SELLERS THE BALL people now? This is why he doesnt get the ball on short yardage. The man is 275 pounds and thinks he can jump over the line.

That is why Sellars is not a ball carrier. He should block period.

Genius For A Head Coach

Fkn Genius

Never cross a ball with a goal line.

Typical Redskins. They know to f!ck up a game.

Sellers is a buffoon

What a joke

Zorn shows his stupidity. And now nobody can tackle, what the frig.

Good Call Zorn...

Want to punish Portis for telling it like it is and now you lose the game

defense has to hold them here...

If Zorn is sending Portis a message at the team's expense, he's gone. Snyder won't stand for that crap.

GIVE IT TO CP!!!!!! But, our coach is a genius!!!

If he had given it to CP, and he didnt make it, you all would be saying, "Give it Sellers! He's so big!" Now that he gives it to Sellers and he doesnt get it, its all "GIVE IT TO CP". Maybe if we had a better offensive line, it wouldn't matter who the runner was.

Did that really happen?

Look for CIN to go ahead 24-10 now.

Sonny and Sam are tearing Zorn's playcalling up. They are pissed.

i think zorn just got himself fired there...and sellers. Fat men can't carry the football.

Right JMS. Portis has had so many chances. He falls down. He has trouble crossing the g line too.

Come on D!!!!!!!!!!!

jms bringing the logic....nice job..

I'm like a junkie. I know there's no future in this . . .

But come on, Skins, just give me a win today, just a win today . . . one more week of hope

...someone threw shoes at Dubua in Iraq...should we do the same to the Skins?

At least the defense held them.

defense held...nice job...lo alex with the sack..

I need a laptop for this!!!!

was that a sack?? Haven't seen many of those this year

A sack?

Who are these impostors wearing Redskins unis?

He did give it to Sellers, twice. I think the point is that Portis should've gotten the ball one of the two times. Or at least change it up w/ a QB sneak. No need to run the same play twice...

Well, all day yesterday Sonny was saying it's NOT the playcalling, so which is it?

Randle El fair catch AGAIN!!! HAHAHAHAA LOL

Turn out the lights the party's over ...

Man this blog sounds and probably looks like that video on Utube of the Skins fan someone posted here ... LOL

Sheesh ... but Snidely Owl must be seething after 6 martinis.

That fumble/goal line playcalling could be the season if they don't come back.

For the last time... Bad coaching.... SMDH

Nice job by the D! Back to the Moss show, we need a big play. Score from outside of the red zone just once!

Zorn should know that he is now fighting for his job. Does he know that his job is probably on the line?

Fumble inside the 5 .. TD Cincinnati Bengals!

zorn DID blow that one....

fyi, the lb's are not paying any attention to DAVIS.....

clegg

I did not like Zorn giving the ball twice to Sellers. Why couldn't the offense spread it out, they were all bunched up together.

cooley with the catch and NO fumble...good start...

priest holmes wouldn't have fumbled on the goal line like that.

peric, what?

This is just frustrating and painful to watch.

Has Randle-El tried to Fair-Catch any passes thrown his way today?

Jason Fabini f!cked up again.

ugh...wtf is happening.

Now Campbell is injured.

Davis drops the ball. Porits now has more than 20 carries. Are they winning?

NO.

stay down!

2 straight penalties by Fabini. Sweet.

is campbell hurt

Here comes Collins.

Looked like at possible late hit on JC there!

uh oh, maybe you Toddball fans will finally get your wish... I, personally, hope not

i thought bengals defense was supposed to suck.

This is one of the dumbest teams in the NFL. What is Santana's Moss major malfunction? If I was Zorn, he would not be back on the field in this game.

Can we please draft some O-Line & D-Line players? And NO MORE PLAYERS FROM "THE U"!!! These guys are nothing but a bunch of selfish showboats with zero football intelligence...we don't need them.

Finally, whoever is making the decisions on our challenges this year must also be "U educated" because I think we have only gotten 1 right all year....probabaly too busy polishing his shoes to pay attention to the game.

This team has a loooong way to go before it figures out how to compete in the NFL.

Campbell is hurt, bring in Collins, let the come back begin!!

Somehow the Redskins must've gotten their hands on Plaxico's gun b/c the 'Skins keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Portis == priest holmes.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I'VE NEVER WANTED TO PACK IT IN AND GO SCREAM AS MUCH AS NOW!!!!!!

IF WE FIND A WAY TO PULL THIS GAME OUT, WE WON'T WIN THE LAST TWO WITH THIS BUNCH.....

I'M THOROUGHLY EMBARRASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

clegg

Their 2 tops receivers are held to 3 catches for 24 yards.

'Skins still finding a way to lose.

Now we just need Collins to go down and it's Colt time.

i think we now see how much Gibbs willed this team to the playoffs.... Probably his best coaching performance!

Can W take Snyder, Snyder's cousin, and the Z man with him when he leaves town next month, please?!
I want to know where you can buy those shoes on Ebay so Snyder can get his too.

Haha. Punter booms it 52 yards. Called back on a penalty. lol

Another penalty on the 'Skins?

Surely you jest.

Please god no Todd!!!

Wow, so he comes back with a 62 yarder. Nice.

Put in Colt.

Put in Colt.

Put in Colt.

Put in Colt.

This is clearly an issue of an owner who allowed players--or, in the case of the Redskins, one specific player--to undermine the coach on a radio station that the owner owns himself. And now the team is suffering. I would assume that, should the Redskins lose this game, Zorn will not be returning next year. Part of me thinks that Snyder might even fire Zorn after the game.

Feb. 15, 2021
Washington Post Article:
Dan Snyder, owner of the luckless Washington Redskins, has announced plans to move his team to Oakland, after the 11th dismal season record in a row. "I wanted to have the team in a town where the fans are used to losing", Snyder said. "We'll fit right in here, with the history of the previous Oakland team and the fantastic dedication of its late, great, legendary owner, Al Davis", quipped Vinny Ceratto.
Upon the death of Mr Davis, the Raiders were sold to a group of former Redskins fans and moved to Burke, VA. The team changed it's name to the Burke BadBoys and have since won two Super Bowls under the coaching direction of Daryl Green, former Redskins Hall of Famer.
Sources at the WAPO have cited declining revenues and fan attendance, which began after the 2008 season when Vinny Ceratto was promoted to Head Coach and Big Guy Supremo as a major factor in Mr. Snyders' desperate decision to move the failing franchise. Sports Editor Jasno Reid cited pathetic attendance figures, hostility to Snyder, and continued apathy to the team as deciding factors.

did j taylor just get a sack?

OMG i don't believe my eyes!!! ARE actually got positive yardage!!!

ARE with a return?

No flags?

WHO ARE THESE GUYS!
~

is Tim Hasselback still available? or maybe even elisabeth?

beep beep

Dear Dannyboy,

Please sell the Redskins for a huge profit and buy the Raiders and move out the city you grew up in. You will always be a pathetic loser and majority of the Redskins fans and people in DC hate your guts!

Theres a flag thats why Randle el got free, because theres NO WAY randle el does that

JHC! I watched the PopWarner championships yesterday and saw more imaginative, advanced playcalling than JZ's! 3- yard pass right, run up to 1 gap, run up the 2 gap, 4 yard pass left.

Gotta hold em here. One more score by the Bungles and it's curtains for 08 baby. Then we gotta get the ball back and score the tying td for sure this time. There is no more wiggle room here baby. Hitch up ur jock strap, bust em in the chops or come on back to DC crying to mama.
