If Moss is out - can ARE and Lloyd step up?

jdlea · 11-03-2006, 09:48 AM

This could either be a huge step forward or an even bigger leap backward than they have already taken. Without Moss, Brunell might actually learn how to throw to someone without Moss, Cooley, or *insert RB here* on the back of their jerseys. However, I don't think it's going to happen. It'll be about the same thing that happens when Moss is in there. He'll look to Cooley and the backs most of the game. Whatever, I'll be on the road during the game.

As it's been pointed out, it's not whether ARE and Lloyd can step up (they can), it's whether Brunell can throw to someone who's not 89, 47 or 26/46. He's going to have to this weekend, and I think he'll be ok.

Guys really there's no way neither Moss or Portis will miss this game they will stuff a hole bottle of pain killers just to be out there this game is Huge it's the season

probably the last meaningful game of the season they won't miss it

You guys KILL me with this Brunell stuff. The man CAN throw the ball to other people. He'll be fine, and he'll have a freakin rocket on him after sitting out for so long and resting.

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-03-2006, 09:55 AM

Sure he CAN, but WILL he?

BDBohnzie · 11-03-2006, 09:55 AM

Of course he can....he just chooses not to. And now, he has no choice but to look downfield at someone other than 89.

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-03-2006, 10:00 AM

I have an idea. Put Moss jerseys on ALL receivers.

BrunellMVP? · 11-03-2006, 10:00 AM

lets not forget that he's also nursing an injury.

Dude blah, blah Really?

You can honestly say with a straight face that IF you lose and sitting with a 2 - 6 record there will be other meaningful games in the season???

With a 2 -6 record you can honestly sit and say The season AIN'T OVER..... Come on.

We all Know that IF you win this game and end up losing the other 8 and that game cost us the Playoffs you'll be chearing like crazy.

We might Suck but hey We Stop the Cowboys..... So yeah It's probably the last meaningful game of the season.

YOU win you still have hope, you can screw our season..... You lose season is over the only things left to look for is when JC steps up at QB and What to do with the first pick of the draft

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-03-2006, 10:15 AM

At 2-6, mathematically it's not over. That's all I can say about that.

Moss: 28 catches, 435 yards
Cooley: 21 catches, 218 yards
Betts: 23 catches, 193 yards
Lloyd: 11 catches, 164 yards
Randle El: 18 catches, 167 yards
Portis: 15 catches, 155 yards
Sellers: 9 catches, 50 yards

So, he looks to throw to other people than Moss; their names are Betts and Cooley. On that list it's 47 catches by backs, 21 by cooley and 29 by receivers not named Moss. 28 by Moss. So, if he doesn't play, they're in deep trouble.

You're right man. I can't stand the sorry ass Skins fans who say stuff like, I don't care if we go 2 - 14 and beat Dallas both games. That's bs. That's a losing attitude. Personally, the Skins can go 14 and 2 and drop both games to Big D for all I care. I want them to win! Dallas doesn't mean much to me. Hell, go 10-6 and 0-6 in the division, if they make the playoffs I'll be pissed that they lost all divisional games, but I'll be happy as hell that they made the playoffs. They need to win games, I don't care who they come against. Just win baby...

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-03-2006, 10:21 AM

Yeah, I mean if we lost to Dallas twice and won the Super Bowl, I'd just shit on them anyway. It wasn't that they were the better team overall, just the better team THAT PARTICULAR DAY. It's defeatist to be like that.

BrunellMVP? · 11-03-2006, 10:56 AM

dallas makes me sick. i hate seeing the jersey's on the metro, i hate seeing them about town, and i automatically hate the person wearing it. that said, i'd take loses to dallas anyday for a winning record (we all would). I think the point of the 2-14 thing is, if we are going to win only two games, we prefer they be against the boyz.
