Game Thread: Redskins @ Seahawks

by John Morgan on Nov 23, 2008 10:11 AM PST in Game Thread

I just heard Bill Cowher give his first key to the Jets beating the Titans:

Play Mistake Free Football

And now they're showing a Jet sacking Matt Hasselbeck evidencing New York's pass rush. The two teams haven't played since 2004. I have to ask, do sports fans really deserve so little?

According to Football Outsiders, Washington has the 11th ranked pass defense. That's on par with the Cardinals. Functionally, they're equivalent. Arizona embarrassed Seattle's passing offense and no one played worse than Hasselbeck. So here we go, one week later, does Hasselbeck play better? He can't bounce back, because last Sunday is in line with how he's played all season. Per play, Hasselbeck has contributed less than JaMarcus Russell. He's been, plainly, horawful.

Word is, Chris Spencer might not start. That would mean Field Gulls favorites Floyd Womack and Steve Vallos will start. Know the name Kedric Golston? Give it six hours. That should further weaken Seattle's run game putting that much more pressure on Matt Hasselbeck. And round and round...

Seattle needs a great game by its defense to win. With the conference out of reach, how jacked can they be? Seattle is completely outmatched and truly worse than their statistics say. Yet I have this sneaking suspicion Seattle will win. Watch Justin Forsett.

Haven't heard anything on Wahle this week

I’m assuming he’s out?

Out.

Damn

Not looking forward to chop at LG

Finnegan just jammed Favre on a Wild Whatever

Answering the question, why not have the corner jam the quarterback?

What I've learned this morning

NFL coaches do not know the rules of the NFL. First Jeff Fisher and now Wade Phillips do not know that a player’s entire foot must be in bounds for the player to be in bounds.

What I've learned this morning

Jeff Fisher is environmentally friendly, preferring to sky dive to practice. And you don’t test Cortland Finnegan, my favorite black Irishman.

Manny Lawson is a monster.

by John Morgan on Nov 23, 2008 11:10 AM PST 0 recs

Just got an INT.

The refs are such idiots that they ruled it a backward pass when it doesn’t even matter since he took it midair…

Manny Lawson with a monster sack, he just ran over Barber.

Took him 2 seconds to get to the QB.

What? The Lions are down 21-17!

I swear it was 17-0 like 15 minutes ago

by MFAN on Nov 23, 2008 11:15 AM PST 0 recs

They were

Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2008 Detroit Lions!

by Willie Mays Haze on Nov 23, 2008 11:18 AM PST up 0 recs

They have now given up 35pts unanswered.

What are the odds that they take Crabtree with the firts pick?

I got 60-40 for. Any takers?

by Willie Mays Haze on Nov 23, 2008 12:25 PM PST up 0 recs

I'll go with 0% chance.

by LantermanC on Nov 23, 2008 12:27 PM PST up 0 recs

Unless Crabtree somehow runs

a 4.3. but even then, only 50/50.

by LantermanC on Nov 23, 2008 12:27 PM PST up 0 recs

C'mon it's the Lions!

Well I guess Matt Millen isn’t there anymore. But still, It’s the Lions!!!

by Willie Mays Haze on Nov 23, 2008 12:38 PM PST up 0 recs

Crabtree couldn't run a 4.3/40 with

this.

by John Morgan on Nov 23, 2008 12:41 PM PST up 0 recs

That thing is... pointless.

This is cool though

by LantermanC on Nov 23, 2008 12:43 PM PST up 0 recs

Dammit

This is cool though.

Wow... Anyone watching Baltimore vs. Philly?

The refs are BONING Philly. This is just terrible.

Not seeing it, but has McNabb played poorly?

by John Morgan on Nov 23, 2008 12:34 PM PST up 0 recs

Kob is playing now

so I’m guessing yes?

by LantermanC on Nov 23, 2008 12:36 PM PST up 0 recs

Yeah McNabb stunk it up...

8/18 with 2 Ints. I don’t think it was too wise to replace him with kolb, though. Kolb hasn’t shown anything thus far- his accuracy, arm strength and pocket presence is killing the eagles.

Also, Trevor Laws is playing and doing decently. He’s lined up at the nose and was pushed around a little bit at first, but seems to have settled down. The eagles are really stuffing the run right now.

by dlinsley on Nov 23, 2008 12:40 PM PST up 0 recs

Oh and Ngata is a BEAST

by dlinsley on Nov 23, 2008 12:48 PM PST up 0 recs

Kolb throws an INT in the end zone to Ed Reed

Reed goes 108 yards, running past Kolb and Westbrook. Man I’d love to have that guy on my D.

by LantermanC on Nov 23, 2008 1:04 PM PST up 0 recs

2 INT

by katal on Nov 23, 2008 12:38 PM PST up 0 recs

McNabb has 2int and a fumble

Haven’t watched any of the game but caught a game break where he stared down DeSean Jackson allowing Ed Reed to come over and make an easy pick

by Willie Mays Haze on Nov 23, 2008 12:40 PM PST up 0 recs

TEN scored prett quick

27-13 Jets still, I hope the Titans still win.

by LantermanC on Nov 23, 2008 12:40 PM PST 0 recs

Dammit

4-4 TEN30 (3:49) B.Favre pass incomplete deep right to L.Coles. PENALTY on TEN-C.Carr, Defensive Pass Interference, 24 yards, enforced at TEN 30 – No Play.
On a 4th down? That sucks.
