NC now what is the slogan again? Common sense don't make sense to some people.

I like what you bring to the table NC. But apparently you're unaware that every game changing player ever was drafted in the top 5.

I hope you enjoy Miami getting their quarterback.

THEN, he later easily holds welker, gets the flag thrown on him, AND does a Bart Scott throwing the flag!??!! Bruce Allen, CUT HIS A$$.
Kerrigan and Orakpo, you all disappeared, missed would have been sacks, and got beat by a TE your size, not in the speed game, but the power game, you easily could have tackled gronkowski Kerrigan, and you failed.
Grossman. Do I need to say more? Luckily we lost this game so you can be replaced by a better QB. Luck, Barkley, Griffin, even God damn Tannehill could have won us that game today by making better decisions.

I think you're being a little harsh in regards to Gronkowski. Dude is a 6'6, 270 pound beast with good hands. That's just a matchup exploitation, no matter if it's Kerrigan, Orakpo, or Gomes on him. Gronk is easily in the running for best TE in the league today, and it's easy to see why. Kerrigan's off to a good start this season, but he was overmatched today. Kerrigan is not Landry. Even Landry probably would've been overmatched, he probably would've went for the kill shot and bounced off Gronk like he usually does. The problem with our d today was the poor tackling. I saw a lot of standing around expecting guys to make 1 on 1 tackles today, and I didn't see a lot of players with the "crowd the ball" mentality.

Call me a Grossman apologist if you want, but I'm going to lay the smack down on people laying the smack down on Rex Grossman today.

[Ruhskins]

By the way I love how no one has said anything about Gomes, you know the guy that completely blew the Gronkowski long run.

Also, if MS is going to bench T. Williams for the PF during the Iggles game, he shouldve done the same to Hall for the flag fiasco.

[SolidSnake84]

Grossman might have had his best day as a redskin today, and i'm not joking. He played probably the toughest team today as a redskin, and I feel the team let him down. I was completley shocked that we hung in there pretty much score for score with them.

[GridIron26]

You guys covered all things that needed to be smacked except for one thing - QB pressure IMO.. There was few QB pressures, even though Brady played his part by moving around. But still, defense could not pressure when it was necessary to stop the offense. Brady was frustrated and we didn't take advantage of that.

[skinsfaninok]

Smackdown won't do much for me at this point.. Im proud of our fight and effort today! HTTR

[rypper11]

It amazes me how people can watch the same game and see completely different things. Reading the studs and smackdown is so similar with many players on both.

its been happening ALL season. i dont see him getting double teamed much, he hasnt been able to get consistent pressure this season and needs to add some diversity to his pass rush. he has definitely hit a wall this season imo. kerrigan has outshone him.

Yeah well the chances are statistically higher when drafting in the top 5 of each round

I guess every year, teams selecting in the top five trade way down in the draft to get better players...

...and most of those same teams are in drafting in the same place year after year. /gasp
