Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

I look for us to come out and smack this Lions team right in the mouth. No trap game here we need to prove/show who we are.

We are by leaps and bounds a better football club. Lets make today a repeat of last year Skins match up with this club at FedEx. Dish out another real pounding!

We will win this game in a convincing manner.

Don't forget the REDSKINS KICK OFF pre-game show comes on shortly.

WEATHER MIGHT BE A FACTOR . . . AT FORD FIELD
Posted by Mike Florio on October 25, 2008, 10:01 p.m.

Here’s some interesting news for a slow Saturday night.

Per this video at NFL.com, the weather could be a factor on Sunday when the Redskins square off against the Lions.

At Ford Field.

“Winds will be gusting upwards of 20 miles per hour,” says the Accuweather.com weather lady. “That could play a big role in the kicking game at Ford Field.”

Yes, it could. If they remove the roof from the place between now and game time.

We realize that everyone makes mistakes. But more than one or two people surely had their fingerprints on this video. It’s amazing that it didn’t occur to at least one of them that Ford Field is a domed stadium.

Yes. May everyone stay injury-free and let's come out fired up! We're in good position in our conference so let's have some fun with good old smashmouth Redskin football! HAIL REDSKINS!!! Let's do it!!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

i agree,we need to come out and kick the lions right in the nads!the lions have yet to score in the 1st quarter this season,and we need to put at least 14 on them really fast,maybe 21.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

May the wind in the dome come from the Redskins blowing away the Lions.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

crap. Samuels and Horton are out for the game according to Kevin Sheehan, Espn radio

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Heyer will play for Samuels and I believe Green will play for Horton.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Just saw that. Dammit thats not good.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Better to have them for Pittsburgh though.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

DAMNIT ! That's Jasons blind side that's open now.

Heyer should do a decent job. I am more worried about Mike Green starting for Horton.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

[quote=DirtyLandry;493610]Heyer will play for Samuels and I believe Green will play for Horton.[/quote]

Thats what they just said. These guys are needed for the big steelers game much more than this matchup, if they can not go. That was a big list of inactive's.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

[quote=MonkFan4Life;493613]DAMNIT ! That's Jasons blind side that's open now.[/quote]

Yeah, but it's the Lions and I feel comfortable with Heyer at either tackle position. I'm more worried about our secondary. LaRon, Los and Smoot are nicked up.

Heyer should be just fine. There lions D is awful to begin with as well as the rest of the team.

CP is lickin his chops!

on the bright side,he is used to playing against the lions being a former bear.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Heyer should be fine. We'll see what Green can do today. He's played for Blache before.

Yeah well I'm not happy about this. Samuels is hugely important, especially to the running game, and with Horton and Springs out and Smoot gimpy, that's a big % of our secondary. We better be real careful today.

CP isn't licking his chops nearly as much with Samuels out, trust me.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

I really hope these players are inactive because they absolutely cannot play and not just because we're resting them for the Steelers game. We're getting to the point of the season were every game counts regardless of if we're playing the hapless Lions or the 5-1 Steelers. I just hope whoever is making these decisons to deactivate these players isn't underestimating the Lions.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. I didn't know Samuels and Horton were even a question mark this week. Both of their injuries occurred against St. Louis, and they both played last week.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

so who else is inactive?kelley,samuels,horton,griffin,springs,and breenan as 3 qb?

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Tackle Chris Samuels was a late scratch with inflammation in the cartilage in his right knee. He participated in warm-ups but was unable to go. Tackle Stephon Heyer is starting in his place.

Safety Chris Horton (ankle) is also out. Mike Green, who has been with the team just a few weeks, is starting in his place. Running back Ladell Betts (knee), corner Shawn Springs (calf), Cornelius Griffin (shoulder) are also out.

QB Colt Brennan, WR Malcolm Kelly, OL Chad Rinehart are healthy scratches.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Rinehart a scratch again huh? What's the deal with this guy?

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Keyshawn just talked about how Shawn Springs will do a good job today taking Detroit WR "Kevin" Johnson out of the game. Sigh. Where does ESPN get these guys? It's awful.

IF Springs was even playing he'd probably do a good job on CALVIN Johnson.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

there is nobody at the game,look at all those empty seats!

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

OMG, Ford Field is EMPTY.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Let's go Skins F the injuries we're gonna kick ass. The steelers win we're tied for first then we go home and let those pittsburgh pussies come to our home were we send em' home crying.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

[quote=GMScud;493631]OMG, Ford Field is EMPTY.[/quote]

Wonder why....they are having a blackout due to ticket sales, or lack there of. Because they SUCK SO BAD. There might be more SKIN fans than lion fans in that place.

They said this was the 1st time in Ford Field home game history this has happened.

LETS GO REDSKINS!

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

:headbange Let's rock and roll baby!!! HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
 

Cowboys punter just jacked up the Bucs returner. I know no one cares, but that hit was awesome.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread

Re: Redskins vs. Lions Gameday thread
