Dont deflect the fact the Skins just gt their arrse handed to them in a big game at home on Monday night. Dallas will have Romo back along with many other starters and key reserves. They will be back to the team they can be. Get real. Lets see the Giants without Eli and Dallas with Romo.Didn't the Cowboys just get their asses kicked yesterday? Just askin'.The Redskins are who I thought they were.

This has as much to do with Moss being out as anything else. They can't throw to the WR's without Moss out there.Being a Portis owner in a PPR league, wish the redskins would be down more often. Portis never gets any passes when they are leading.
nope. back in.Portis may have gotten hurt on that last tackle

Nope, not even close. The Cowboys were the "presumed Super Bowl favorite" out of the NFC. The 'Skins are an improved team aiming for the playoffs. I can tell you right now that I expected my team to be worse than 6-3 right now, while you definitely considered your team to be better than 5-4. Just keep spinning alibis for Jerruh and his brilliant personnel strategy that brought you such shining lights as Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger.Hey we agree on something dude.

That was about it then, because he was on the sideline otherwise. They even went to Michelle Tafoya for a quick update on that, and she reported that he was fine to return to the game but that he was still over there on the sideline.Thanks, I thought I saw him on the field.

Dallas has to have the BIGGEST "off and on the bandwagon" group of fans you'll ever see. This may be the most awesome case of
in the history of the Shark Pool!
That's quite true, and why Washington still needs a legitimate #2 WR. Randle El cannot step into Moss's role. Nor can either of the 2 drafted rookies, at least not yet. Perhaps one of the rookies will later this year or next year; perhaps it will take another free agent signing, but the Redskins still need to improve their WR corps. T. J. Redskindzadeh doesn't sound too bad.Tatum Bell said:This has as much to do with Moss being out as anything else.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsb..._skins_int.htmlSteelers Fans Forced Silent Count
From Jason La Canfora at Redskins Park:
In what may be the saddest testament yet to the sight of the Steelers' fans taking over FedEx Field last night and dominating the lower bowl with all the terrible towels, the Redskins offense had to go to a silent count at times, at home, because of all the noise the visiting fans were making.
"We had to go silent at least a couple of times," one veteran player said. "It was loud down there, espeicially on third down. I never seen anything like that, at home, with 90,000 people there. It seemed like they had more fans than we did. That was sad. They had guys like Troy [Polamalu] raising his arms on third down and all these people are yelling and screaming for the Steelers. It was pretty sad, man."
That's about as bad as it gets, folks. Not sure how that happens with a 100,000-person waiting list and all of that good stuff, but I've never seen anything like that before. Steinberg has more on the topic, too.
So about those terrible towels. Lots of 'em, right? Loud, right?
"We actually went silent count one or two times out there," Chris Samuels said. "I mean, Jason called it so we had to basically obey it."
(Much, much more on this issue here, with better quotes and Casey Rabach explaining why they turned to the silent count.)
Wait, that was the home team? Using a silent count? Because of the noise from fans rallying behind their defense?
"Uh huh," said Pete Kendall, who said that had happened to him elsewhere but admitted he was a tad surprised last night. "I mean, that's not the reputation or the expectation I had of the fans here," he said, "but who am I to begrudge somebody from making a profit by selling their tickets? I'm playing for money, and they're watching, and it's their right to do what they want with their tickets."
How many Steelers fans were there last night? Unclear. A lot. Enough that, after walking from the parking lot to the press box, everyone was talking about it, hours before kickoff. Enough that when Antwaan Randle El ran out before the game, the boos were obvious. Enough that, in the final minutes, when Pittsburgh got an interception, a writer who couldn't see the play guessed that something bad must have happened to Washington, judging by the roar of the crowd.
My original guess was 15 percent, but I was mocked for going too low. Was it 20 percent? Was it 25 percent? Some writers guessed as high as 30, and the Washington Times went with 33 percent, although I still say that's way too high. Your guess on the percentage?
And as long as I'm asking questions, why does this happen? Why does it happen with Penguins games? Do Pittsburgh fans have more money? More passion? Fewer outside interests? Fewer job responsibilities? If a Redskins fan isn't going to hold on to his tickets when his team is 6-2 and playing a home Monday Night Football game for the first time in six or seven years, exactly when is he going to hold onto his tickets? Or is this just an inevitable part of playing Pittsburgh? Here's what Cincy columnist Paul Daugherty wrote after a Bengals game this year:
Nobody wearing a POLAMALU jersey had to worry about getting his face smashed in. The black-and-gold-clad visiting home crowd twirled its Terrible Towels for three hours, shooting a figurative middle finger at the Bengals fans, as they have the last eight times their team has played at Paul Brown Stadium, all Pittsburgh wins. It's disgusting, really, but what else is new?
So, is this exaggerated? Was it a middle finger? Were you embarrassed? Proud?
"You know, I'll be honest with you, it was kind of surprising there were a lot of Steelers fans in the crowd," Jim Zorn said. "It reminded me of the Super Bowl in '05 when they were giving out those yellow towels and stuff like that. I don't think it affected us any, but it was unusual to see so many yellow towels."
"Hey, I watched those little yellow towels up there," Samuels said. "They had a lot of people here. But they're right down the highway. I didn't expect that, but they had a lot of people show up."
"I was surprised to see as many Pittsburgh Steelers fans in our stadium tonight," Jason Campbell said. "You know, there was a LOT of them and I was definitely surprised to see that many of them in our home stadium. But our fans was loud when our defense was out there, they gave us a lot of opportunities, [they were] behind us. And if we could have just kept them in the game so they could feed off it it really could have went in another direction."
Im normally hesitant to throw around such high praise, particularly to a rival group of fans. But Ive shared that thought for many, many years. Those Steelers fans are rabid. They always seem to travel. They buy everything in sight. And they love their team as much if not more than any other fans Ive ever come across. Too bad Washington's O was so pathetic last night that they couldnt calm down that towel-waving bunch of hooligans. Nice win last night, Steelers fans.Leaving little doubt who has the best fan base in the NFL....maybe all of sports.
