Skins v Eagles post game thread

[Stacks42]

Yup. My seats are right next to the visitors tunnel in the corner of the endzone. Skins fans started leaving at halftime!! Eagles fans started to pour down to get closer to the action and see the Eagles at the end. Even Marcus Vick was there, it made me sick!

All is well friends, we will be fine. One bad game, doesn't define this season

Well said.

I'm a little pissed. I saw D. Hall, Garcon, Merriweather, and Fred Davis boozing it up around 11 pm Sunday night in Arlington. And it seems that 3 of those 4 didn't show up to the game on Monday. I thought players had curfews.

Willie Parker says Redskins were about partying not football
By Dan Steinberg

“[In Washington] they weren’t about football; they were about partying and stuff like that. When you’ve got one person trying to come in and be straight about football, I mean, it’s never gonna work. You appreciate Pittsburgh a little bit more after going somewhere else and seeing what another team has to offer.”

There's too many stories describing our team thusly. Sure guys, you made it into the NFL, live it up. But don't you think you'd have more fun and build on your career if you didn't party for instance the night before a game?

Haha...they should have gotten drunk after that performance. Where were they in Arlington?

They started out at Bracket Room (new sports bar in Clarendon) then went down to A-town, that's where I saw them. Fred Davis goes there a lot. They all seem like good guys, but CMON MAN! its the season opener on Monday night, take a night off.

Yeah those places are too young for me!

Well, a bit of a depressing start to the season -- getting crushed in the first half at home by a division rival on national TV. We rallied and made a game of it, but lots of things have to be corrected. it is a long season, and every year, we win one I think we're not likely to win, and lose at least one that I would have predicted a W -- let's hope that defines our first two weeks and that we pick up a W in Green Bay.

I thought Perry Riley was outstanding -- he and Kerrigan were really strong; Fletch and Rak were pretty quiet and that is a little disconcerting. To me, the biggest positive was Riley's play -- he was everywhere. Hankerson looked solid as well, and I thought Moss was his reliable self as well. Some positives to build upon, but we need to do it soon. Green Bay is going to be a challenge; we ought to beat the Raiders, and then we also have Detroit before the bye and they really did a number of the Vikings (even holding AP to a very modest rushing total). We really have to get two wins before the bye somehow -- we cannot dig ourselves a hole like we did last year, and the bye is so early that we won't have any time to regroup as the season wears on.

Did you actually see them drinking alcohol or were they just there?

Sorry Skip but that's BS.

That wouldn't have helped with the other miscues, like the fumbles, tackling, blocking, etc. It was team effort.

Yup. RGIII did not blow any coverages, etc. Many players looked bad. Everyone looked uninspired, players and coaches alike.
