...everything is fine:

(stolen from Wash Post today)

defensive line that struggled to stop the running game of the Carolina Panthers

aftermath of a performance at Carolina that included few -- if any -- positives.

The most alarming developments for the Redskins were their inability to stop the run on defense and the across-the-board breakdowns suffered by their revamped offense.

He was running right through us," Redskins Coach Steve Spurrier said. "Nobody did much to talk about. . . . Hopefully we can tackle him a little bit better in November when we play him again. Time will tell."

But there were major questions about the defensive line's sturdiness even before training camp, and none of the concern was eased when the Panthers averaged 5.4 yards per rushing attempt.

I'm kind of upset that we didn't do a better job against him

Hopefully we can learn to play within the rules and learn to catch the ball," Spurrier said. "If we can do those things, we'll have a lot better chance.

We just made little mistakes," Coles said. "Once everybody gets on the same page, we'll be fine. It's still early. We've got a long way to go."

Said Johnson, "I don't think there's any reason to push the panic button yet."

We need to work the kinks out, iron out some wrinkles. We can play better. We're definitely disappointed in our play. But we'll get it going, no doubt about it."

Just PEACHY.

Pre-season!! All the Carolina game did was show what we already knew...New lines, O and D, are gonna take time to jell. The O line, IMO, will get it together. The D line is the biggest concern, way too many question marks. No run stoppers equate to shortening the game. Teams will pound the ball, use up the clock and keep Spurrier's offense off the field. Ought to be interesting, hopefully Edwards will get the defense straightened out, but the D-line is woefully short on talent.

What was the final score, anyhow?

Granville,

The boys didn’t look very good against Carolina. If they keep this up I think they are going to re-do the fight song. Here is the first stanza of the new version (you might want to start practicing it).

Hell, it’s the Redskins.
Hell, Misery.
Braves are a floor mat.
Wipe your feet on DC.
:wah: :wah: :wah: It must have been a somber post-game locker room:
Stephen Davis ran through the Redskin(excuse me :barf: ) defense at will.

Signs of things to come?:biggrin:

Another year, another dismal season....

:biggrin: I really do have to admire you diehard Redskin fans: No matter how bad those poor, wretched, underachieving excuse for football(SUPER BOWL) wannabes perform, somebody always finds a silver lining in the way they perform, (or don't).

The weaker ones(ex-Redskin fans), have already jumped ship to the Ravens.

Hell its the Redskins...
Hell, misery....

Wipe your feet on D.C...

It's got a catchy ring to it it, dontcha think?

Oh, there's always next year, eh?

:biggrin: ...that there's already(a holdover from last year) grumbling about Coach Spurrier's reliance on his college coaching mentality.
Is it true he's hired Danny Weurfull(sp?), Wearyfull?, and added him to his quarterback corps?

Geez, I wonder if Ken realizes he could become a very rich man with those revised lyrics to the Redskin rollover-and-die song?:biggrin:

S. Davis

I don't think we will miss his unique ability to fumble the football at the most inoportune time and cost us the game. I was tired of that habbit of his and the whole league knows he is a fumbler so they go after the football, and get it every game. His last carry for us was in the beginning of the game he fumbled and was injured on the same play. Carolina can have him good luck

Well, almost... I have always been, and always will be a redskins fan... But you have to turn on a falcons game every once in awhile to watch Vick work his magic... Is there a single preseason magazine out there without him on the cover??? Not bad after only your first year as a starter.
Vick, broken bone in leg, out at least six weeks of the season. Is it a sign of more injuries to come?

Nah, just a freak accident. He wasn't do anything different that what any other QB would do in that situation... Unlike his 1st ever game in college... After lighting it up early, he pulled this bonehead move and sprained his ankle... Note where to takes off from, and where he lands... With people hitting him...

Say what you want about Vick, but not many people at any position on the field can do this, especially a QB...

Vick is without a doubt "The Real McCoy". I really do not believe his career will be a long one though....

They showed a definite improvement over the last couple of weeks.

However, much of their success depended on "trick plays"- was that a "flea-flicker" I saw on the reviews? Maybe they'll throw in a "statue of liberty play" in the next game.:biggrin:

Unfortunately, my team (New York blue) is not making progress as fast as the garnet and gold team is. Seems they'd rather fight among themselves then against other teams. :rolleyes: Oh well.

Improvement???

Why, gentlemen, they whooped azz on a fired up, awesome Ravens D! 16-0. Home field. Super Bowl.

On the other hand, the Ravens have less offense than ever, so,
8-8, no play-offs.

On the other hand, Ramsey is a tough SOB and looks like he is getting it. 10-6, play-offs. Beat Eagles, Giants and Cowgirls twice each.

On the other hand...

And now we sing...."Fight, for old...."
