The Half Time Threads-Merged Edition

[Da_Truth]

Am I dreaming or does this o-line kick ass?

[SeanClintonRamsey26]

i kno i do in my boy ramsey... he'll be there starting on septemerber 11th, and he'll be 1-0 on spetember 12th

[Paydirt]

The Skins are looking pretty good tonight to me. Brings back fond memories.

[authentic]

are my eyes deceiving me or is Ramsey 12-19 for 141 yards, 1td, 1int.... though the pick was for a TD, Ramey is having a pretty solid game against one of the top defenses in the league.. i can't see the game right now, but according to these posts , Ramsey is playing like absolute garbage... whats up with that?

[New]

Minus one play, and I agree with Aikman. The pick cant be 100% attributed to Ramsey. Thrash has to make that read as well. I am extremely happy with our play AND PATRICKS!!! HAIL!

:dallasuck

[LoGiK]

poor decision to risk the pass to cooley..sellers was open

[fuji869]

Ben Roethlisberger 6/15 57 0 1

Patrick Ramsey 12/19 141 1 1

[New]

When the dust settles, I believe this is the game that Ramsey will build on! Bad pick (for a touch), but not completely his fault. The receiver has to read that as well. He still looks like he's trying to work on the touch pass, but when he rips it, WOW, he's all over it. I'm happy with what I saw!

[authentic]

don't know about you, but it looks good to me!!

[ERIC THE REDskinsfan]

O-Line was very solid.....very solid....looked great on the runs....let's keep it up.

Man, I think we're all gonna like Moss.....how 'bout that speed?!?

[LoGiK]

as long as Ramsey continues to keep a positive TD/INT ratio

[TheSteve]

No, Ramsey is the antichrist. Come on BRUUUUUU-NELLLLL.

[JWB]

According to JB it was "ugly"......wha? JB where's the love! Yea Logik I agree. That pass reminded me of Ramsey's first interception last week.

[authentic]

damn it , i have to wait until 11:30 (after the Ravens game), before i can see the replay of the game... RATS!!!!:mad:

[LoGiK]

God only if Ramsey stops F-ing under throwing HIM WTF! HE HAD 2 TD's to moss.....im kinda angry :)

[TheSteve]

The posts that Ramsey is playing like Garbage are the haters who cannot take their glasses off. Ramsey isn't playing like Marino, but he has rebounded nicely from the INT off of a miscommunication and has played well.

[New]

Look good enough to hang around this year! As much as I want to love Portis, he still leans forward almost dramatically and tackles himself when it seems like if he just stayed upright he'd bust it. He still looked good though! HTTR!

[damachete]

Ramsey was a little above horrible. That's all. 6-8 of his completions were underthrown.

[sweet daddy]

the guy had one bad pass...and numerous great passes...

our offense scored 10 points to the steeler O scoring 3...

big Ben looked bad...

[LoGiK]

Ramsey is looking solid, He just needs to work on stop under-throwing his recievers on the deep routes...its very frustrating when Moss has the d-backs beat and he under throws moss...

[New]

I agree Sellars was WIDE OPEN, but COOOOOOLEY is the going to be the man inside the 10!!! Might as well get it started now!

[project myu]

Analysts and so-called experts will be saying, "We should have known starting with the Steelers pre-season game. It was so obvious!"

[TheSteve]

poor decision to risk the pass to cooley..sellers was open

It was NOT a poor decision. Do you want to run a no risk, pitty patty scaredy cat offense? Dumping it off to Sellers when Cooley had his man BEAT and had POSITION is the definative sign of a QB who lacks confidence. Ramsey put the ball in a position where Cooley had one or two options: Catch it or knock it down. He caught it. Case closed. No more of this play it safe crap. You don't win in the NFL by playing not to lose. Give me a freaking break.

[New]

Wow, for a change it pays to live in Dallas (SUCKS!)!!!

:dallasuck

[NoCalMike]

Those types of catches are what seperates teams that are 6-10, from teams that are 10-6......I mean you have to have people who can catch passes that aren't always PERFECT and on the money. Moss came back for a big catch and Cooley wouldn't be denied in the Endzone. That tells me we finally have players that are willing to take that extra effort to WIN.....

I mean how many times last season did throws get made that weren't necessarily perfect, but were VERY CATCHABLE, and either the WR gave up o on it, or it bounced off their hands....

[pR0JEkT 21]

Yeah the skins are doin ok except for that crappy Int by Ramsy. It was a 34 yard Int return for a touchdown. Even though hes gone 141 yards passing or something like that, that Int he gave up is killen us. Thank god we are still in the game for now..We need to stop with the penalties too thats for sure. I think we get the ball after halftime lets see what happens.

[SittingBull]

Hopefully as the season progresses Ramsey will take advantage of the opportunities presented to him. A couple of better throws and this game could easily have been 21-3

When Ramsey's our QB Id rather throw to the open reciever...I stick with my decision....POOR decision to throw to Cooley. Good athleticism ability by Cooley.

[New]

Inconsistent is more appropriate, but waaaay better than what we've seen. The bottomline is Gibbs isnt showing ANYTHING. It isnt hard to defend, and there is very little deception. When the real bullets start flying, I'm comfortable starting the year with Ramsey at the helm and this DEFENSE beating the crap out of people all year long!

:dallasuck

[skinsmania123]

TheSteve is right! It was a great decision. It was well placed.

Terry Bradshaw is supporting Ramsey, while JB is saying Ramsey is inconsistent.

[LoGiK]

Half Is Over Back To Football!!

[Eparadox]

Look, that pick was not entirely his fault...1st, a guy gets through the line untouched, 2nd, Thrash was running a route where he should have been paying attention to what was going around him, and 3rd, Troy Palamolu is a beast of a safety, hehe.

[jbooma]

This game shouldn't be close, but we are tied the way the team is playing we are dominating. If Ramsey would stop with the mistakes this team can be dangerous.

[sweet daddy]

come on guys...he threw a TD pass and your saying he shouldn't have thrown it...

your showing your propensity to cheer for a player and not for the team

[New]

Guess the final grade goes with the outcome. TOUCHDOWN! Looked good to me!

[authentic]

what do you guys think, should gibbs play Rams in the beginning of the 3rd quarter to see what he can do?

[jbooma]

He should not have thrown it, period. He should either take the sack or throw it away.

[jbooma]

I guess Gibbs wants to see Mark.

[Phat Hog]

Unfortunately, stats alone don't tell the full story...

[TheSteve]

Listen, Cooley made a great catch, but it wasn't spectacular in the sense that I was asking myself, "How did he do that?" The only reason Cooley was able to make that play is because Ramsey put him in a position to. Ramsey didn't throw a terrible pass into double coverage with Cooley standing still. Ramsey threw a good pass with Cooley having a step on his man that allowed him to get the catch. It was a GREAT decision. Just because you have some vendetta against Ramsey does not mean that you can discredit his good throws and expect people to take you seriously. Ramsey has made some subpar passes tonight, but that was not one of them. Get rid of the pessimistic sour grapes attitude dude and look at this game positively. We whupped the Steelers. Without that INT we would be dominating. And the INT was a result of miscommunication on a broken off route that Thrash should not have cut off. Incidentally, that was the 2nd time in a row Thrash ran a poor route.

[Thiebear]

Did o.k. against the BEST defense in the league...
The announcers even said that it wasnt all on Ramsey with the Int...
AND that is the worst that Pitt looked on Defense this preseason with all the yardage...

I'll take it.. 15-1 vs. a 6-10 and its a tie game.

[skns4life]

:helmet: :helmet: :helmet: Anyone notice our WR's new little thing after they make a first down catch?? How they get up and spin the ball?>haha...Thats pretty cool...how they're all doing it...even A.Brown...sorry guys ...i'm loving what i'm seeing...GO SKINS!!!!!!!! :point2sky

[New]

What does everybody think. MAN THAT WOULD BE A FAST TRIO!!!

:dallasuck

[laurent]

It's amazing, the same guys that always complained about how Ramsey doesn't give his receivers a chance to catch the ball by slightly underthrowing are the ones that would be crying right now had Ramsey put too much pepper ball on the ball and overthrown.

We played an amazing first half from an offensive standpoint and absolutely dominated the line of scrimmage yet the chicken littles are out in full force again competing on who can pull of the biggest drama queen act.

Can't you ****ing kick back just for once and enjoy what's slowly unfolding down on the field? The line is DOMINATING, receivers are getting open and our RBs rip off one huge gain after another against last years number one defense.

If you don't have anything nice to say right now you're in the wrong ****ing place. Burn your jerseys and adopt the Patriots for all I care, you're not Redskins fans anyway.

[Underwater Ally]

Guys, lets face it. It doesn't matter who our QB is or even who our running back is. With this Offensive Line, we have a very potent offense this year. This is the number 1 defense in the NFL and we are moving the ball very well. The pass and run, play action and screen plays are all complementing eachother perfectly. Get ready for big things guys. This starts now!

HAIL! :logo:

[newarkredskinsfan]

Ramsey did play a good first half and the defense just shut them down.

[New]

WELL SAID! It all starts in the trenches. PERIOD!!!

[Tulane Skins Fan]

you guys realize that qb's do that on purpose. and that moss was the only one capable of catching that pass, and that it bounced right off his hands and should have been caught. you realize all of that, right?

[GOSKN5]

I know we have struggled a little with Ramsey in there and there have been plenty of mistakes.... with that being said....

WE HAVE OFFENSE.....

We look incredible on the ground... Portis would have had 200 yards tonight if he played the entire game.... Betts looked good Cartwright looks good and I am pretty sure NEMO will come in and bruise some steelers....

We also threw the ball downfield some of the passes were underthrown... but that will come with time and practice.... i think Ramsey will be alright... if we can just get rid of his mistakes we will have a serious offense on our hands.....

The running game is going to be our bread and butter this year.... Portis is going to dominate.... Eliminate penalties and turnovers and get some pretty good quarterback play and we are contending in my opinion....

[authentic]

i just reviewed his stats on nfl.com, and he ran 8 times for 48yrds.. that 6yds per carry. Not bad for his first action!

[laurent]

There's no point in reasoning with the chicken littles. They have made up their mind and no matter what transpires on the field, they'd rather see the Redskins struggle than be wrong.

[Underwater Ally]

:laugh:

Exactly! At least I'll credit Aikman with being the most friendly of the analysts. Check out the thread I just posted. I agree, this is a very good thing we've got going, and it starts tonight!

:wave:

[newarkredskinsfan]

Aikman did say that Ramsey had a good half. And that the pick was not good but he seen alot of good things out of ramsey.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

that arrington isnt wearing that horrible plastic facemask thing. he looks great out there too
