All the "Just a tease till the season starts!" talk goes in here. Tonight, in about 15 minutes:

vs

Portis vs Bailey

Who got the best of the trade?

 

[SteveMeister]

I'll be at all of the Redskins home games this season! Gibbs is back and I finally got season tickets! WOO HOO!! :-D

 

[DJ_Tet]

Panthers offensive line is taking a beating

 

[Bowser]

Well, I'm off to watch the game...if only it was worth a shit...

 

[Teddman]

Skins are going to kick some ass! Broncos are going to miss Portis this year...

GO GIBBS GO!

 

[Teddman]

YEah! How you like that defense!

SKINS ARE BACK

Broncos first series ends in 3 and 16 & an interception.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Jake the Fake strikes again! Go foosball!

 

[Archaix]

Yeah, the broncos are screwed without Portis. Look at Griffin! He's not even running into his blockers like Portis. What an ametuer


This message was brought to you by Archaix and his never-ending quest to be proven right over all the NFL analysts who think Portis will be just as good as he was in Denver.

 

[Matrix]

Griffin looking good,go Houston boy!

 

[Slo]

Joe Gibbs just broke a hip!

 

[Teddman]

The new pass interference rules are anal. I give it only a few games until every team in the league is complaining if they're rigorously enforced.

 

[Chesapeake Silt]

Sean Taylor!

Hey, also... are there any spots left in any of the GA Fantasy Leagues? I was signed up for one, but it dissolved a while back.

 

[DarienA]

Welcome back football...<sniff> I missed you!!!!!

 

[Matrix]

DAMN Taylor is good.

 

[Teddman]

Sean Taylor!

He has three interceptions and a touchdown by the third quarter!

 

[DarienA]

Look at Little Barry make those cuts!!!!

 

[Willco]

Man, I'm so happy the 'Skins drafted Taylor instead of Winslow.

 

[Lambtron]

Look at Little Barry make those cuts!!!!

Yeah, holy shit. He's more machine than man.

 

[Willco]

Whoa, did I just hear Al Michaels say that Jon Jansen is out for the season?

... there goes the playoffs! Snyder will fire Gibbs before the season is over!

 

[Guileless]

And a new Underarmour commercial too! I should keep a running count as to how many times I see it in the next 5 months.

 

[impirius]

Man, I'm so happy the 'Skins drafted Taylor instead of Winslow.

YES YES YES.

Touchdown Redskins!

 

[Willco]

The Super Bowl is back on!

 

[impirius]

REDSKINS HAVE THE BEST RECORD IN THE NFL!!!

 

[Teddman]

Nice last minute field goal! Skins win, 20-17.

GOTTT 'EMMMMMMMMM!

It's going to be a terrible year for Denver.

AND A GREAT YEAR FOR THE REDSKINS!

 

[Willco]

GODDAMIT.

That's it. Jansen is out for the year. Un-fucking-believable. What a damn shame. He's the anchor of that entire unit, has never missed a game and is a class act all around. Portis is fucked.

 

[Archaix]

Dag nabbit! Now there's an excuse for Portis. It's all a conspiracy against me!

 

[Willco]

This is seriously a huge blow to Washington's offense. I'm really not sure how the line will hold this year. They made some great strides this year, but - wow! - this injury may have cost them 2 or 3 games and probably a playoff spot.

 

[impirius]

Aw crap... I missed parts of the game. Is Jansen seriously going to be out for the entire season, or is that just speculation?

EDIT: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1856049
Well there goes the most reliable player on our offense. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal since it's the HOF game and there's plenty of time before the season starts... didn't know it was his Achilles.

 

[Desperado]

Griffin is awesome. And he's from Houston. And he's short! [well...5'7"]

MNF Pats vs. Colts 1st week is gonna pwn. Great way to start off the season.

 

[Teddman]

Bah, the o-line has sucked for years with him on the field. I don't give Jansen a ton of credit, put someone else in there and don't be so pessimistic.

 

[Bowser]

Fuck, Adam Meadows retired. Our O-Line is looking REALLY bad.

 

[Fifty]

When is the next nationally televised (non-ESPN, we don't get it here) game on?

 

[Cmdr. Solrak]

GO DA BEARS GO!!!

 

[Eminem]

GO DA BEARS GO!!!

good luck =/

we suck =(




anyways, who's got NFL sunday ticket up in here?

 

[Fifty]

I do!

All Ravens games + Whatever the best matchup is during the other set of games. Then I'll tune in to the national game, which makes for 3 games each sunday

 

[Eminem]

i've got 3 tvs set up. one has whatever game i get on fox, one has whatever i get on cbs, and the other has whatever random game i feel like watching =D

 

[Shinobi]

"Looks like I'm gonna have to wait a year to get another one of these..."



On the bright side, it was great to see Gibbs back on the sidelines with the "R" on his cap. Whatever happens, it'll be fun watching the Skins this year.

The new pass interference rules are anal. I give it only a few games until every team in the league is complaining if they're rigorously enforced.

The rule is not new. The refs are simply enforcing PI now. They've let DB's get away with too much, which started with SB36. Martz complained about belichicks scheme, but the league ignored him. But when the colts FO and dungy complained after last years AFC championship game, the league decided to make it a priority this season.

It's good imo. It keeps inferior db's from neutralizing a strong passing attack. This can only benefit the rams, and it will do a lot of damage to press, m2m teams like the pats...

 

[Teddman]

Teams will exploit the Hell out of this new PI "enforcement." Madden & Michaels were already pointing out how receivers were getting "gimme" plays by running six yards or so and quickly turning for a pass... Right after five yards when defenders must abruptly stop making contact. DB's don't know what to do right after five yards, they have to get away from the guy for fear of a PI call all of a sudden.

OMFG money plays the game is broken I want my money back it sucks.

Only shitty db's will let recievers run "money routes." I'm not saying the new enforcement doesn't hurt top tier CB's. but it effects them much less than your average corner who only knows how to pull, tug, and assault recievers instead of covering them. (like those in belichicks system)

These are the rules, and teams exploited them over the past few years. So I don't wanna hear any whining now that they're being strictly enforced.

 

[Willco]

Perhaps you should watch this game I call football. Washington's offensive line has been far from bad until the Spurrier era, which had nothing to do with the talent on the line, but Spurrier's formation. Even Jansen started saying Spurrier was a hack once he called it quits and that guy almost never trash talks.

 

[Blackace]

Tim Brown on the bucs... his pic on ESPN makes him look like Master P

Somehow I think the vast majority of NFL fans don't truly grasp how horrible a coach Spurrier really was. It's a shame, really.

In similar situations, most coaches say "Well, hopefully other players will step up & fill the gap", and Gibbs did say something to that effect. However, Gibbs has always had the ability to inspire folks to do just that. I'm not writing off the season just yet

It's not like a PI will come out of somebody's ass. They have to make contact and they had that luxury for the past few years. It's not great defense, just pushing people around. Great defenses shouldn't feel the heat much.

The problem is the team doesn't have the talent to fill Jansen's void and that's huge because not a lot of people know this, but Brunell is a lefty and needs Jansen there to protect him. It's a bad situation, especially if Brunell is the starter.
