Skins vs Texans Gameday Thread

Dude, are you kidding me? We have been losing for almost two full decades, with some one round playoffs appearances. The last time the Skins fielded a really competitive team was in '99, and in that I mean a team that could have gone to the big dance. 2012 was nice, but we weren't as dominant as in '99. Gibbs' appearances were nice, but how are you going to get anywhere with Mark Brunell? The folks in here are diehards and losing is unfortunately second nature to us.

Oh really? Thanks man I am new here didn't realize.

Always nice when a veteran poster takes you under his wing.

Any updates on the injuries?

Lmao. Zing!

we made good half time adjustments, but the playcalling in the first half was bad and not being able to throw it past 10 yards is pretty terrible. looks like the preseason woes carried over.

D looked good, two blocks on STs is terrible. but coverage and returns were better.

kind of a mixed bag overall. it looks fixable, but it also looks like there's a ways to go.

We need a Decade Team or something. Like a special avatar saying you are in the decade club. That be kind of cool. I still got a year to go.

Where is SS, is he still celebrating the Jets win?

Only thing that bugs me, is how when RG is pressured he runds backwards. A few times had he stepped forward he wouldn't have been sacked, hurried or hit.
Offensive line - looked good running the ball. I think we needed some more runds in there, but given the untimely penalties made it a little more difficult. We basically gave up thowing the ball down the field. I thought we would have stetched the field a little more and at least given the texans something to think about.

all in all, the defense played good - only giving up one big play. Special teams again was a joke.
it will be a few weeks before people start calling for RG's resignation.

^ a few weeks eh? Check Twitter or listen to the radio. Classic overreaction Monday.

To me the game plan seemed like they were scared. You can send a back or TE over to Watt's side. There were hardly any passes over 5 yards. You mean to tell me an NFL offense can't run Jackson and Garçon on 10 to 20 yard routes? Either the coaches are coddling Griffin, or he's playing like John Beck. In the end, the game came down to the blocked punt, block fg and the fumbles, 4 plays.

certainly didnt look like we were calling pro pass plays. more of the same. holding onto the ball until you see your guy open vs getting rid of the ball on-time right before your guy makes his break and gets open ... maybe i missed it but did RG3 call a single audible or protection shift?

very disheartening start to see the same issues manifest itself.

I think we need to wait until the bye week to start calling for RG3's head. At least then the season will be more than halfway over. No knee jerk decisions til then.
