Call me crazy but i think with this team colt gives us a better chance to win.
I doubt you'll hear that. On TV the fans sounded louder than at any game this year. Seems like asking for more fan support worked.hammerva said:I can't wait to hear all week how this is the fans fault for not having faith on the team instead of looking in the mirror and realize how awful the offense is
Someone needs to make sure the Redskins have a bye on November 18th, 2051...33 yearrs to the day after Joe Thiesman broke his leg, Alex Smith broke his leg.

The bad news the #Redskins were dreading: QB Alex Smith will have surgery right away on a broken tibia and fibula. A stellar season is over.

More Josh Norman. This time on home crowd: "Wow. What an atmosphere, right? Thank you Redskins nation, you guys showed out in a big way. That was huge for us. Oh my goodness; applauded y'all for sure. That was big time."

Jordan Reed said he or Trey Quinn would have been emergency QBs
Who is the other guy, I want to say number 13? Harris? WR, light skinned, has light brown dred locks.... I’ve seen him make some good plays too.I seriously wonder if Quinn will become the leading receiver down the stretch. He looked very smooth catching the ball. And nice to see Reed get utilized.
Yeah Harris is good. Actually the Redskins have a few good young receivers in Quinn, Harris and Cam Sims (IR). They need to jettison Doctson and sign a deep threat. But Quinn and Harris are keepersWho is the other guy, I want to say number 13? Harris? WR, light skinned, has light brown dred locks.... I’ve seen him make some good plays too.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201410270dal.htmSorry guys.
Bright side for you is IIRC, didn’t Colt mollywop my Cowboys the last time he started vs them?
ETA- May have been the second to last game he played VS us. Point is he’s capable.
He did seem to get some separation, something that no other Redskin WR besides Richardson has been able to do this year. He looked the way Crowder was supposed to look.I seriously wonder if Quinn will become the leading receiver down the stretch. He looked very smooth catching the ball. And nice to see Reed get utilized.
Garcon was solid while he was here. Id settle for that again tbh. I think we have a nice blueprint. If you have a strong D you dont need a top offense. If we can maintain this defense and get better on offense then who knows what could happen. Hopefully Guice comes back healthy and is a stud.The organization has made huge strides drafting all these defensive players and its paid off, but I really hope they do the same for the passing game next year. It would be nice to have a STUD WR in a Redskins uniform. I can't remember the last time we've had one save Monk/Gary Clark/Saunders days...I mean Santana Moss and Coles had solid careers here but week in and week out, it seems forever since we've had a TD catching and chain moving stud in this offense.
Those were dark days...or at least darker than others. I dimly remember being quite incensed that they had won 2 straight, and only had the Vikings game to go before the bye, so why introduce Griffin back for a road game in a tough place to play, when resting him could have given them 2 weeks to get the entire team on the same page coming out of the bye vs the 1-win Bucs at home. Not only had Colt earned that start after a massive upset (I think that line closed at +9 or so) at Dallas, which would have sent a GREAT message to the Team, but I think it was obvious the Griffin wasn't quite ready to come back. IIRC, there was some discord in the locker room over that decision as well, and it didn't get any better after he underperformed coming out of the break. By the time they benched him, we'd gone from 3-5 to 3-8, en route to 4-12. Ultimately, we might not have done much better, but a Colt-led Team with some momentum behind it had a decent chance to enter the break 4-5, come out of it 5-5, and probably in a better place to wind up closer to .500 than ####ty 4-12. Ugh.He did seem to get some separation, something that no other Redskin WR besides Richardson has been able to do this year. He looked the way Crowder was supposed to look.
Harris and Doctson don't seem to get much separation but they do catch contested balls pretty well, and they do block which we haven't seen WR's do much of in years.

Then the next week, RG3 was back from injury and got the start against Minnesota. Then two disastrous performances against TB and SF and Colt was back at starter for a few games until he got injured.
And since we’re on the topic the butt fumble game in question was thanksgiving day November 22, 2012. Sanchez first game as a redskin will be thanksgiving day November 22, 2018.
Didn't Snyder fall in love with Sanchez coming out of college and take him to dinner?
Good memoryDidn't Snyder fall in love with Sanchez coming out of college and take him to dinner?
Wow. I thought Theisman was being overly dramatic when he immediately likened Smith’s injury to his own. Sounds like it might have been about the same.I don’t know what the Skins fan consesus is on Smith because I rarely go into team threads... Schefters latest tweet made it sound like his career might be done. Compound and spiral fracture, broke through the skin and both bones broken. Recovery is said to be “lengthy”.
I've noticed that about Harris also. And about Jordan Reed, who seems to have fallen in love with the sidelines lately. He just runs out of bounds rather than getting the last 1-4 yards out of a play.dgreen said:My problem with Harris is he avoids contact at all costs. Maybe he has a history of concussions. If not, then I really wish he'd show a willingness to take on contact and gain some more yards. One play in particular several weeks ago, he could have easily picked up a first down but went to the ground to avoid contact just shy of the line to gain. Offense failed to eventually pick up the first down. I know a few other times I've seen him just fall to the ground when defenders are nearby when he could pick up another 5 yards.
Reed doesn’t look as in shape this year.I've noticed that about Harris also. And about Jordan Reed, who seems to have fallen in love with the sidelines lately. He just runs out of bounds rather than getting the last 1-4 yards out of a play.
Yeah, I’ve noticed with Reed, too. That’s why I mentioned that I’m not sure about Harris’ concussion history. Reed clearly has a history and I fully understand him not looking to take or deliver a hit.I've noticed that about Harris also. And about Jordan Reed, who seems to have fallen in love with the sidelines lately. He just runs out of bounds rather than getting the last 1-4 yards out of a play.
That's the way it was talked about on morning sports radio --- as something that will keep him out a year at minimum, and may be career-ending.Bojang0301 said:I don’t know what the Skins fan consesus is on Smith because I rarely go into team threads...

Redskins signed QB Mark Sanchez.
The NFL's "meritocracy" spins on. When last we heard of 32-year-old Sanchez, he was being slapped with a four-game PED ban in April. Now he will serve as Colt McCoy's backup in Washington. Sanchez has attempted just 109 passes since the end of the 2014 seasons. Teams have to start getting more imaginative at quarterback instead of recycling the same retreads over and over and over again.

Alex Smith suffered a compound fracture - meaning the bone broke through his skin, per source. Trauma surgeons discovered Smith suffered a spiral fracture in his leg - defined as a long bone broken by a rotational force. Smith, 34, faces a lengthy rehab process to try to return.
He signed a 71 million guaranteed contract. I think w the terms people were saying they could get out after the third year, 2020.How much on the hook are the Redskins for Alex Smith?
I was kind of hoping Smith could have at least been another Brunell and make a jump in the second year. Probably won’t get the chance now.My gut instinct on this: this injury effectively ends Smith’s career. I like Smith, and I certainly want him to get better and also get the money he’s got coming to him...but he wasn’t thriving in this offense when healthy. What about next year...a year older...rusty...and perhaps not as athletic, which was one of his advantages. It just doesn’t make sense. You wait on a guy like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady...I don’t know if you wait on the Alex Smith we saw this year. From a sheer football standpoint — forgetting about contracts—I think it would be good to draft a guy late first round, like Will Grier—and either play him or groom him behind McCoy.
But I also have wondering related to Smith and his contract. Will the Redskins be inclined to stay with Smith simply because they are committed to paying him? Alternatively, can they reach some kind of injury settlement that allows them to pay him what he’s owed without being strapped cap wise? I also wonder if it’s gonna be one of those things where if Dan and Bruce wanted Smith, they’ll stick with him because they don’t want to admit they are wrong.
So I dunno...but I do think whether he comes back next year or not, they definitely need to look QB in next years draft. I think Grier might be had in late first round and think he might be good with Grudens style of play...
Yeah me too. And, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt because he doesn’t turn it over and that was allowing us to grind out wins. I just don’t think at this age and the severity of the injury it’s likelu he returns to form soon enough to make it worth it...I was kind of hoping Smith could have at least been another Brunell and make a jump in the second year. Probably won’t get the chance now.
