2005 Point & Laugh At The taterskins Thread

[General_Failure]

Well, they were the last team to beat the Pats before they went on that wicked awesome winning streak.

Those taterskins were awesome in that game. Look at how their drives turned out.

Wow, they totally had the Eagles on their heels with that offensive performance. I mean, if it wasn't for Dawkins cheating and stealing the ball they totally would have won. They were firing on all cylinders, baby!

Offensive juggernauts, those taterskins. How oh how will our defense stop such a phenominal unit from reaching the endzone?

[General_Failure]

We need to put a hit out on their punter. He's just too good.

[PhillyPhreak54]

That's Simoneau's job this year. He needs to do something to earn his money.

[MDS]

Actually he needs to do that to Josh Miller, the Pats punter. The punt he made to pin us back inside the 5 at the end of the game was sick.

[General_Failure]

The fact that you know his name worries me. I don't know why.

[MDS]

The Marlins announcer is named Tommy Hutton. I wondered if it was THE Tommy Hutton, but sadly, it's not.

How many of this guy is there out there?

[MDS]

1 too many. The punter needs to do the right thing and end it.

I'm not sure which one, but one of those punts came on a drive where the Skins had first and goal at one point.  Something like:

Penalty
Sack

No gain

Yeah, but it was totally that interception that kept them from winning.

[SD_Eagle5]

Ramsey looked absolutely horrid, got clotheslined, and now Brunnel is in. Brunnel throws a pick with his second attempt and gets a BS PI call.

[PhillyGirl]

haha, how can you BARELY squeak out a win against a terrible Bears team with a rookie at QB?

Pathetic.

Art on the game. Started his own thread, that no one has responded to, because he is just that big of a taterskins fan.

This game was not really in doubt the moment Grossman went down with injury. The Chicago Bears had no chance of winning a game against a Gregg Williams defense with a rookie QB making his first start on the road. Today, you clearly felt there was no way the Bears could do anything against our defense. We set them up for points and the scored, but, for the most part, other than a blind falling down pass, the Bears offense was going to be and WAS hopeless against the taterskins defense.

Washington has a championship-level defense, coordinated by a top defensive mind. We're going to win games because of that. But, we're not going to be much better than last year with below average QB play by BOTH our QBs as we had today. We're not going to win a lot of games with three turnovers.

We saw today what we could expect to see. We saw an offense with a top runner capable of controlling the game. We saw a dangerous receiver capable of getting loose downfield. We saw a strong, powerful offensive line. And we had QB play where Brunell had a 70.5 QB rating and Ramsey had a 49.4 rating. We will lose games with play like that.

Just not against teams with no hope against our defense. Any team with a remote bit of ability on offense beats us today because we don't put teams away and limit mistakes. We haven't for a very long time. It's frustrating to see the same errors over and over and over and over. It is the definition of our team.

If we ever turn the corner where the mistakes don't define us, but smart, controlled, solid play does, we will be deadly with the ability to create on offense and dominate on defense. We just never seem to get closer to this lofty goal.

This win was unsatisfying because we never seem to improve the one aspect of play that most limits our ability to win. But, winning does give us a bit of momentum to build on. This team is one run of a few wins away from believing it can achieve what it hasn't achieved. You can't start a run until you win one .
