Skins fans across the bar were awfully quiet yesterday, especially around 4:00.

Highlight of the year as far as I'm concerned.

here's an awesome sig from one of the dumbasses over there:

QuoteCampbell Week 3: 27-41, 65.8%, 340 Yards, 2 TD, 1 Int, 21 Rush Yards, 0 Fumble Lost

Campbell 2009 Season (To Date) 69-102, 67.6%, 793 Yards, 3 TD, 2 Int, 65 Rush Yards, 1 Fumble Lost
*****
Campbell 2008 Season: 315-506, 62.3%, 3245 Yards, 13 TD's, 6 Int's, 258 Yards Rushing, 1 Fumble Lost

Campbell 2009 Season (Projected) 368-544, 67.6%, 4,229 Yards, 16 TD's, 11 Int's, 347 Yards Rushing, 5 Fumbles Lost

Verdict (Ongoing) Campbell is Improving

the projected numbers for this season are mind blowing. i don't what's funnier, thinking that he'll throw for 4200 yards or that he'll do that and somehow only throw 16 td's.

those people over there are farging rediculous.

A thread about someone spotting Snyder's plane in Denver....speculation runs wild that The Dan is there courting Shanahan

QB Eagles · September 29, 2009, 01:45:40 PM

Sweet. We should think about what other rumors we can start over there.

General_Failure · September 29, 2009, 02:14:41 PM

I hear they're offering a 2nd and Cooley for Kolb. Run with that.

QuoteHolmgren eyeballing D.C.?
Posted by Mike Florio on September 29, 2009 8:36 PM ET
Former Packers and Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren has been making no bones about his desire to return to the NFL in 2010.

And we've been hearing for months rumors that Holmgren would be very interested in becoming the next coach of the Washington taterskins.

Earlier today, Peter King of SI.com provided some meat for that bone, in an appearance with Chris Russo of Mag Dog Unleashed on Sirius XM Radio.

"I've heard a lot of people say in the last few days, 'Oh, Holmgren wouldn't want to go to Washington,'" King said. "Keep one thing in mind in December when all this stuff starts to go down. Remember where you heard this. Mike Holmgren last year, Thanksgiving weekend, I'm sitting in his office in Seattle and he says, 'You know, I'm going to take this next year off but after that I'll give you a cool little theory for what I might do.' I said, 'What?' And he says, 'I've coached in the Midwest with Green Bay and I grew up playing and coaching out west -- Brigham Young, the 49ers, Seattle.' And he said, 'I'd really love to try the East Coast. That brand of football where you wake up on Sunday morning and it's the most important thing. There aren't 800 things to do. Where you're in East Rutherford or Philly or Washington and it's so important.'

"He said, 'I'd really love to try football on the East Coast.' So do not eliminate Mike Holmgren when you start talking about coaching candidates for [taterskins owner] Dan Snyder."

So we think it'll be Holmgren and Shanahan jockeying for position in D.C., and the taterskins and Cowboys in a possible tug of war to get their preferred candidate.

That's why we don't rule out the 'Skins launching the process before the end of the season, in order to get a crack at Holmgren or Shanahan, before Jerry Jones does

I hope he goes there, ES gets all fired up, and the inevitable failure happens.

On another note, his quote about how football is viewed on the East Coast fires me up because it makes me realize how lucky I am to be from a city who cares so much about sports.

I couldn't imagine being from a city like Houston, or even worse Miami, where they simply don't give a shtein.

Sgt PSN · September 29, 2009, 11:34:55 PM

yeah, miami would totally suck. i couldn't imagine trying to fill the sports void in my life with miami beaches, nightlife and smoking hot latina women who will do anything for a green card.

PhillyPhreak54 · September 29, 2009, 11:38:05 PM

I know that, because it'd be the same as being from San Diego.

But I'm talking about sports only.

QuoteWhy is there so much angst among Skins fans?

September 30, 2009 1:00 PM

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley

Let's face it: The taterskins have one of the most frustrated fan bases in the league right now, and a lot of that has to do with their past success.

Longtime Beast and Hashmarks enthusiast Dan Steinberg of the D.C. Sports Bog looked at some numbers this morning that illustrate just how agonizing things have been over the past decade or so.

* Here's what other teams in the division have done since the taterskins last won an NFC East title. Eagles: five division titles, two wild cards, 10-7 in the playoffs, one NFC title. Giants: Three NFC East titles, three wild cards, 6-5 playoff record, two NFC titles, one Super Bowl title. Cowboys: One NFC title, two wild cards, 0-3 in the playoffs. taterskins: Two wild cards, 1-2 in the playoffs.
* It's been nine years since the taterskins hosted a playoff game, which is the fourth-longest drought in the league. The taterskins have also gone 18 years since winning a Super Bowl, which is the seventh-longest gap for a team owning a world title.
* I think there would be even more angst had the Cowboys won a playoff game in the past 13 years. taterskins fans dislike/hate the Cowboys more than any team in the division. I think fans have taken some solace in the fact that the Cowboys have gone through a similar drought. But it still feels like the taterskins are the most dysfunctional team in the division. Is that fair to say?

QuoteHaynesworth: Tampa was too tempting

Haynesworth

TAMPA, Fla. -- Albert Haynesworth just finished a very interesting conference call with the Tampa Bay media. It's been well documented that the Bucs were a player for Haynewsorth in free agency.

The taterskins got him and Haynesworth said part of his choice came down to the fact he thought Tampa was too nice. Seriously.

"Tampa was probably my first choice," Haynesworth said. "It was kind of a repeat of when I was coming out of college where (Georgia) was my first choice and I went to Tennessee. I like water, I like boats and I like sun. Coming to Tampa, there was a whole lot there. I have a whole offseason. If I went to Tampa, it would have been too much of a mix."

Haynesworth also admitted the Bucs offered more money than the taterskins.

"They really came after me hard in the few hours they had," Haynesworth said. "After I told the taterskins that I was going to come to the taterskins, (the Bucs) made their strongest stand. They offered more than taterskins. But I said I was here."

The logic continued to be a little offbeat throughout the conference call. Haynesworth apparently didn't think a lot about the fact Florida has no state income tax before signing with the taterskins.

"I made more money last year with Tennessee," Haynesworth said.
