Re: The after London semi-meltdown thread.
 

My glass is half full today.

Wasn't perfect but I'm proud of the team. We fought hard. We look like a playoff team or something very close. Just gotta keep grinding and improving. We're on the right track.

Now to the refs - what a complete clown show out there. Head missiles and blatant facemasks go uncalled but somehow they're all over the ticky tack 5 yard penalties like a librarian chasing down an overdue book. Not to mention the Bengals are the dirtiest team in the league. Only Fisher's filthy Rams come close. One point the penalties were 10-2 against us. Total joke - refs should be ashamed.

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;1154345]Glad you had a good time! My wife and I were wondering: were they giving out Bengals gear? It seemed like a TON of Bengals fans weirdly enough.[/quote]

They put bengals flags on every single seat of the stadium, and shot bengals t-shirts in the stands during the game.

I'm also guessing people without a favorite team yet would buy gear from the "home" team at the stadium nfl shop or one of the stadium gameday gear shops.

Ahh, very true. Thanks for the info!

absolutely good call. That hit on DJax when you caught the ball on the ground? bush league. very dirty. Kilpatrick had a nice dirty late hit.

Yop, I'm watching the game so I'll find them precisely but I can remember at least two more late hits or hits on a defenseless receiver that weren't called...

Re: The after London semi-meltdown thread.
 

Cutting a good kicker for missing a FG? Seriously? I'm so glad people aren't coaching or GM of this team. I certainly believe that a team should have accountability, but you don't cut or even bench a guy for one mistake on the field. Hell, it's taken Matt Jones this long before I called for his benching.(and not even cutting)

This team showed it isn't bad, but it's also shown it can't suffer many mistakes and still win.

We wouldn't have a team left by week 3 if the fans made personnel decisions.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1154334]I'm so confident we make the playoffs I'd be willing to bet on it. Numbers don't lie and we are owning our opponents weekly. Eventually the ball goes our way and it will later on.

In many ways, I feel similar, OK. I think the bye couldn't have come at the right time. Work out some kinks, as someone else stated, and go from there once we return from the bye.

I'm feeling rather good about us participating in postseason play.

[QUOTE=TheMalcolmConnection;1154349]Thought it was highly entertaining to see the most popular jerseys overseas.



I believe number one was Brady.



"Hmmm, NFL jerseys. He's good. I should buy it." LOL.[/QUOTE]



Yeah, OBJ too. Guess news that he is a Giant D-Bag hasn't made it overseas yet.

Was just looking up Lanier - not much on the guy. Small school prospect, college free agent. The only actual site saying anything about him said: good intangibles (leader, hard working, good motor); good athlete but too lean - would need to bulk up to stick around.

His combine height weight are listed as 6' 6" / 260 [url=http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/player/27647/]Anthony Lanier | Washington Redskins[/url]
Skins list him at 6' 6" / 282 [url=http://www.redskins.com/team/roster.html]Redskins.com | Players[/url]

Just FYI.
Who knows, sounds like a Scott McCloughan kind of guy.

Re: The after London semi-meltdown thread.
 

One thing I've thought about today is, I think we should have tried to score a td on that drive. We had it inside the 20 y not just Keep pushing? Like Dallas did.. Idk it's hard to get a grasp on how to feel about a tie

31st in red zone on offense

29th on 3rd down for defense

Difference between the 2 is Dallas needed a TD to lock it up. A FG would of won for us. Our FG was 34 yards. Basically an extra point. 94% success rate.

I had no issue with kicking it and going home. Just didn't work out that way

Yeah and if you keep going for the TD everyone would go completely apeshit if you were to loose a fumble.

Sucks to miss a FG like that but it happens.

Agreed 100%, kicking it on 3rd down was a really good call.

That one is just on Hopkins caving under pressure (I have to say about 70% of the 84 488 people in Wembley were booing him pretty hard on his second attempt... you know... the one he miserably failed... the one that cost us the gaaaameeeaaaarg. Sorry).
