Redskins-Rams: Postgame Thoughts

Wow, I might have to banish my own thread to thread hell.

EVERYONE needs to chill out. If you're too pissed to see straight (which would be understandable), wait until you have calmed down to post. Engaging in personal attacks on the site is not only really lame and typically reserved for the resident 12 year olds, but its a bannable offense. So, let's play nice and look forward to next week's game where we'll keep the Gmen outta the playoffs and watch their team implode.

lol! It's probably best not to post threads about who or what lost a game for us on the sameday that we lose a very winnable overtime game.

Anyways, after everybody opens their Christmas presents up tomorrow, they will calm down, reflect on today, and realize that our team's reasons for losing really comes down to a very thin secondary. Betts' fumble, although hurt us, wasn't why we lost the game today, neither was clock management. Heck, I thought our offense was extremely solid today.

Adding depth to our secondary next year shows us a division winning team that has home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Nice job, punk, now I'm glad you were injured for the majority of your career.

You sound like a guy who was waiting on Betts to mess up so that your argument for Portis would stand up. Betts is an outstanding rusher who got the ball stripped away....point blank...it happens.

Clinton has not brung a superbowl to Washington himself

Betts is showing that he can be a great backup/relief pitcher when healthy. He is no Portis, though, and I, respectfully, believe that some of the "Betts is better than/equal to Portis" arguments are silly given everything we know about both players.

This season, Betts has done better with his oppertunities (although it's splitting hairs). But what gets lost on some is that Portis was badly injured from the first drive this year on. That's why his relative effectiveness was down. Not because Betts is better for the system, and not because of some crazy Brunell theroy.

Next year, we will have him healthy (god willing), and he will be even better than Betts this year. More importantly, he will have fresh legs, something he didn't have this year after getting 350+ touches last year.

No, I wish they had won the football game. I would be highly critical of Clinton had he fumbled that football. And I don't need one football game to make my Portis argument stand up. I can point to a lot of other things, but I've already done that ad nauseum and won't be doing it again. Betts is a good back, but he's not on Clinton's level. I'll take Clinton 7 days a week over Betts. If you disagree, that's fine...I really couldn't care less anymore.

Portis is a good back also and I hope that next year, when he comes back, that he continues what Betts has been doing lately seeing that he is going to be the starter and all.

We were in position to win, it dosent matter. At that moment, if he dosent fumble, we win. Whatever he did earlier, I dont care. With the holes Betts has had, I dont care, Cartwright could have done close to the same shit.

Clutch players dont fumble in that position. More importantly, Clinton Portis dosent fumble in that position. Period, Case Closed. Dont fumble with the game on the line. There is always other stuff that could have gone one way or the other.

Is Betts soley to blame? No, because our defense was non existant. All I'm saying is, we had the game in our hands and he fumbled. That fumble is on him, and Portis dosent do it.

Is this grounds for a ban? It should be. Seriously.

Simply do not post on the site until you can get a handle on your emotions. I know the loss stings, but there's really no need whatsoever for cursing out other people. You're a longtime member and I would think you'd know that by know.

probably but i'd calm down. everyone is upset and it's almost x-mas. be a man it's nothing to cry about.

Many plays (or lack thereof) lost us this game, but at 3rd and 1 on our 12yd line, to call 40 gut and get stuffed for a loss is inexcusable. That is not an Al Saunders playcall, it stinks of Gibbs. I'm not suggesting that some creative triple reverse should've been called, but a 40 gut running play in that situation with 8 men in the box is simply a mistake.

The D was non-existent, as were the wide receivers.

Glad we lost this one - moving steadily on up the draftboard. Merry Christmas all.
