I don't know about FTW but maybe FAI (For an improvement:r)
He did drive down and rush for a touchdown, something they couldn't seem to do the whole game.
I would have loved to see him get a chance to make a final 2 minute drive!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Yeah, FTW might not have been the best choice...but at least Rex is gone. That game was painful to watch.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Glad I didn't watch this or else I'd be minus a TV!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

You mean this week or last weeks game???:r

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

How 'bout them Bills? :D

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Being a Redskins fan has its downs and it downs.

What do you guys think we need besides a quarterback?
Our O-line seemed to be doing well, before injuries sidelined a starter or two.
We don't have any solid #1 receivers, Moss is just to small.
I really like Fred Davis as a TE, he is a beast.
Orakpo and Kerrigan are a great pair going forward.
Torain and Helu are gonna make a good pair of backs to IMO.

Any other thoughts?






Yah I have bills, should prolly start paying them.
What a peculiar question to ask in this thread Mac.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

My thoughts

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Man what a dissapointing season this is turning into, come on draft pick!
Is it possible that Grossman was wrong about his prediction?:r
I couldn't watch the game yesterday but from what I gathered it sounds we where doing a good job running the ball in the first half and almost abandoned that in the second?
I see Grossman had like 49 pass attempts????!!!!
And out D gave up 21 points in the 4th?!?!
Grossman fumbled inside the 10 and threw another Grosspick?!

Redskins have thrown 19 interceptions and our apponents average 8 this season! We are negative 13 in turnovers.

Roy Helu has impressed me greatly this season.

What are we gonna do when London FLetcher retires? He is always solid and our leading tackle!
I am thinking the Kerrigan/Orakpo combo is one to really build upon, this could develop into something truly great!

And what is going on with DHall, clearly not playing with the passion of last year!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

So, what QB's are out there for the 5th-10th pick you think the Skins might snag?

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I am hoping they can some how trade up, but who knows.
I don't follow college to know what looks good other than luck.
I would love to get Luck somehow and try to build around him, but that is a pipe dream. We will prolly trade our first three draft picks for a 45 year old QB who was pretty sharp 15 years ago. Oh maybe they will bring Brunell back for another try?!:td:r

Honestly I just hope we can somehow get a decent young QB, somebody that can stay with us for a few years. Alot of people don't like Shannihan either, I think Kyle has some learning to do, and made some game losing calls, but his dad is pretty knoweldgeable. I do not want to see anymore choaching changes for a while.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Ahem.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

It was great to get that win over the Giants on Sunday. I love seeing Eli struggle, he is such a spoiled brat.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

The one decent game they had and I missed it!!!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Here we go....

Redskins trade their first and second round pick this year and their first round picks for the next two years to St. Louis for the number 2 pick this year to get RGIII. Rumors are they will still try to get Peyton too.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Thats nuts!! No offense, but all those picks for one guy...hope he can turn your franchise around!! Its a long shot but I guess the Redskins have always been about the long shots...always investing a ton of money in one guy that never pans out.

Good luck Redskins....hope it works out for you!! (not to much though...being that I am an E..A..G..L..E..S!!! fan)

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

3 #1 pics!
That's pretty obscene, especially when you consider they aren't getting the best QB in the draft.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I think it's a great move on Dan Snyder's part. The first sensible one he's made yet.
This leaves $$$ intact, and if he LISTENS to someone who knows football, the Redskins have a shot.
Those odds are real slim, considering he's possibly the biggest asshole on the planet. Maybe he can put together a couple extra bucks by suing Redskins fans again? :lr

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Not really a fair statement, seeing as how Luck at the very least is the best quarterback prospect since Carson Palmer. RGIII in any other draft goes #1. As a prospect, he's Michael Vick with a good head on his shoulders.:2

Well, when you consider that the Raiders gave up a first and second round pick (which could turn into a first) for a busted up guy that was sitting at home doing nothing, it sounds about right.:D

Rumor has it that Cleveland was offering three first round picks, but refused to pitch in their second rounder from this year. At the end of the day, if RGIII turns into Football Jesus, that'll just be another kick in the family jewels for the Cleveland fanbase.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I find the new Nike jerseys super boring.
I wish they had gone with these. I love the helmet and the rest is just so different I think it would be a nice change of pace but I would change the main color to more of a burgundy.

This one would have been cool too in a less extreme way:

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I agree, they each have a completely different style and are from different conferences. You can't really say one is better than the other because there is no real good way to compare them.

In the 2011 season

Luck had 3,500 passing yards for 37 Td's and 10 Int's.
150 rushing yards and 2 Td's.

RG3 had 4,300 passing yards for 37 Td's and 6 Int's.
700 rushing yards and 10 Td's

Depends all on how you look at it. I personally would want RG3 over Luck myself because he's a pretty decent passer and he has that ability to scramble and make a big play out of it.:2

I think it will be a great addition to the skins.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

The thing is, that was in College. In the NFL the linebackers are faster than the QB 99.9% of the time. Plus RGIII is a pretty small dude.

My prediction : RGIII is going to get destroyed pretty quick.

Luck is going to get into an offense, maybe take a year to get used to it and dominate within the next 3 years.

If RGIII was big and buff like Cam Newton, he would be good...

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I am pretty excited to see RGIII come on board and show us what he can do. Win or Fail it is exciting for us Skins fans to have a little hope. It is the right move, I believe we will never have a chance to be a serious contender if we do not have a good young franchise QB. We will have to wait and see if RGIII is that guy!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

RG III, IMHO, has a much higher ceiling than Luck. I'd pick him first.

However......his coming to DC makes me sad for him. Won't be until his fourth season or so, once he gets out of here, that he becomes huge. Nothing about the system, OL, WR's, or running game here would make me the least bit excited, if I were him. I love the guy, but that great attitude is going to be tested, that's for certain.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I don't agree. Faster defense or not, to at least have some ability to scramble is better than none.

Since we compared RG3 to Vick earlier, lets do it again.

Michael Vick- Height: 6' Weight: 210 Lb's 40 time: 4.33
Robert Griffin- Height: 6' 2" Weight: 223 Lb's 40 time: 4.41


Like the man or hate him, Vick has done pretty damn good in the NFL. Vick has shredded many defenses with his ability to run the ball. Seems to me RG3 is bigger than Vick and he has good speed too.

Also want to throw in there that RG3 had a faster 40 time than all but one running back at the combine this year. In fact, He had the 13th best 40 time amongst all the guys at the combine this year.

I don't think his size or athletic ability (speed) are an issue.:2

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Let the reign of RGIII begin!!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

They just had a pretty good half. RGIII was on point the first have. I think they should win by double digits... -(P

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Had to work storm trouble today but got to catch bits and pieces on the radio.....sounded pretty good.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Great Victory!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Hopefully you are wrong.A bunch of no names stepped up on Sunday and made for some great football.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Wow what a great game, it was exciting to watch.
I do not agree with some of the play calling in the second half but they managed to hold onto the win and put up way more points than any game from last year!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I was gifted these at the NJ herf Saturday! Awesome!!!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Sweet

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

HTTR!
Good game by RG3 yesterday, man we really can't hold a lead well though.
Defense kept them out of the end zone well the first few quarters but then started giving up a lot of yards and points towards the end.
Thankfully we had some big D plays & turnovers.
I don't think anybody expected RG3 and Morris to do this well but man we have some serious issues elswhere.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Coming from a Skins fan in MN you have no idea how happy I was to see this win. Let alone just see the game!!!! :noon

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

:tu:tu I work with a hard core Vikings fan, just got done talking to him. He is pretty frustrated with only being able to score field goals the first few scores.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Yeah I've been watching the Vikes all season and they have been great in the red zone until this game! They haven't dealt with that many blitzes in a game this year. Was effective.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Usualy we get burned on blitzs, nice to see it work for a change.
Hard to send an extra guy with a weak secondary.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Hail!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Big win last night! I am pulling for RGIII and the skins to get in! Would be nice to see them make it finally!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Especially since we play Baltimore next week ;)
Was a late night but it was nice to beat the Giants.
We have had their number lately though, hopefully we can keep on winning.
It is kind of scary to think about that forward fumble for a TD and the Giants missing a FG made all the difference.
Our D did a pretty good job though, weird.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Time to change the woodwork, Redskins fans are coming out of it! :rolleyes:

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Dom, my friend texted me in the fourth quarter and said now we will see why Eli is Elite, hahaha made the win even sweeter. It was a terrible game though. So many penalties and just ugly plays. Dude pulling on a players leg while he is down, WTF was that? Nice to see you here HTTR Dom! Hugh and myself constitute as fans coming out of the woodwork though? :r Oh and Ken is just being nice because I root for the Steelers most of the time ;)

Hail to the Redskins!!!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Oh my goodness!!! What a game...

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Really glad that RG3 didn't tear his ACL. Saw that run starting and cringed.

I don't like the Redskins, but it's hard to not like watching RG3 play.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

I couldn't watch the replay, that knee bending the wrong way was NASTY!
That was a huge comeback win, Cousins did a fantastic job helping with the win, and our kicker is a beast!

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

What a huge cameo for Cousins!!! Hopefully RG3 can play next week but I'm not gonna hold my breath. I think we can beat the Browns with Cousins at the helm and play it safe with RG3 for another week.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Heard on the radio it's a class 1 sprain. Sounds he may play.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Shanahan made it sound like he thinks he will be able to play this week, from a radio quote I heard last night. Hopefully he is right.

Re: Hail To The Redskins!!
 

Wow, Cousins started a little shaky but came on strong. It was great to get that win and have RG3 get the rest he needs.
