(http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/redskins/)Washington (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/redskins/) (0-2) at Houston (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/texans/) (0-2)
A week too late, Clinton Portis gives the Redskins a 118-yard rushing game. But it's not enough to stop David Carr. Has anyone noticed how well this guy is playing?

Houston 24, Washington 13

:D

They're probably going ballistic over at ES.

[CowboyWay]

Sometimes I have to ask myself whether I enjoy a cowboys win more, or a redskins loss more.

Its not as simple as you may think.

:D

Skin fans need to look on the bright side. Should this continue they may get the #1 draft choice next season. Could be a good ideal for the skins to lose this game aginst the Texas so that should they tie at the end of the season they could get the #1 overall after all Houston would just waste yet another over all 1st pick.:lmao:

But then, wouldn't Denver get that pick?

Actually someone else gets there #1 Pick which makes it all the better:suxskins:

[tomson75]

The almighty Adam Shefter picked the Texan's on NFLN too. yippee.

[aznhalf]

But then, wouldn't Denver get that pick?

:eek:

I still don't think anyone really knows what went on in that trade. Some people say it would be a straight swap, some say that its based on value. Who knows.

It would be great though if the Skins get a Top 5 pick and have to swap down to the late 20's all for TJ Duckett:laugh2:

[Sam I Am]

I suspect the Skins will take down the Texans. I think Mr. King is just trying to start a fire in the nations capital.

[Doomsday101]

But then, wouldn't Denver get that pick?

:eek:

Ouch, I think your right. Sorry skins fans no soup for you!!!:lmao2:

[superpunk]

It's really too bad that Plummer is looking equally inept as Brunell.

Otherwise the pick swap would be almost assuredly an enormous difference.

Here's to Jake Plummer getting off the scnhnide.

[Kangaroo]

I found out what it is. The Basic if the Redskins are worse than the Broncos they swap positions so if the redskins finish with the #1 pick and Denver has the 25th pick bahahahahaha all that for freakin TJ Ducket. This may get funnier by the week.

The Broncos agreed to terms on a three-way deal that will send Lelie to the Atlanta Falcons once the paperwork is completed. The Falcons will send, according to two league sources, running back T.J. Duckett to the Washington Redskins and the Redskins will send a combination of draft picks to the Broncos.
Based on the teams' finish this season, the Broncos, at best, could end up with the Redskins' first- and third-round picks in the 2007 draft if the Redskins finish with a worse record than the Broncos.
In that scenario, the Broncos and Redskins would flip-flop first-round picks, with Denver moving up in the opening round and the Redskins moving down. The Broncos would then get the Redskins' third-round pick as well.
If the Redskins finish with a better record than the Broncos, Denver gets the Redskins' third- and fourth-round picks in April.

Draft picks? The RedStinks don't need no stupid draft picks! They got the great St. Gibbs to turn any bum player into a HOF candidate! (that is, if said player can just learn that damn 2% of the playbook)!!

[Yakuza Rich]

Count me in at :laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1: my arse off if Washington winds up losing to Houston.


After all, it's all part of Gibbs' master plan.

***? The Redskins gave up a possible 2007 1st round and 3rd round draft choice for Duckett? At ES, they say Gibbs in running the show. I can't believe Gibbs would do something so freakin stupid. This has Synder written all over it.

It also had panic written all over it. And "Portis' injury is way worse than we're telling anyone" written all over it. And "Portis injury is a chronic thing" written all over it.

It also has "Denver bent us over AGAIN" written all over it.

Think about it. Denver traded them Portis for the best corner in the league and a second round draft pick. Now, Portis is injured, so the Skins panic. Atlanta gets Lelie, Washington gets Portis, and Denver gets a thrid, and possibly a big move up in the 2007 draft.

Champ Bailey, 2nd rounder, 3rd rounder, and a possible high draft pick for Portis.

Yeah, that front office hasn't screwed anything up. :lmao2:

Well, if St. Gibbs allowed the Midget to do something that stupid, then he is at fault also! And he's supposed to be a HOF coach? Sure he is....

[Danny White]

I just finished having a discussion on ES on this Duckett trade issue.

Apparently, there are circumstances under which Denver and Washington swap first rounders, but it's not automatic, and under no circumstances would Washington be forced to give up a high first round pick.

It's actually a very creative trade. Apparently, the trade stipulates that Washington will give Denver a pick or picks roughly equivelent to "400 draft value points" as defined by the draft value chart. So it's probably a high 3rd rounder or possibly a low third and a low fourth or perhaps even a third and swapping a few places in the first.

I'm not a draft value chart expert, but I think that's the gist of it (according to the "brain trust" over at ES) so take it for what it's worth.

I was disappointed. I had dreams of a 0-16 Redsk*ns having to give the #1 overall pick to Denver.

Did they have actual credible sources or did they make it up?

[Danny White]

No sources... it seemed as if it had been a much-discussed topic over there last month when the trade first went down, though. I'm sure they have their version of AdamJT13 over there to get to the bottom of things like this. Plus, I think they even have Redsk*n front-office guys that troll around on the message board.

I'm not saying what I posted is 100% accurate, I'm saying that's the story over there. And honestly, it makes a lot more sense than the idea that they would conceivably give up the #1 overall pick for the #32 overall pick. I have to think even Snyder isn't that stupid.

If I was running the skins I would not do any more trades with Denver. If I'm running the Cowboys I don't play with Seattle either. :laugh2:

[SultanOfSix]

I'm sure they have their version of AdamJT13 over...

There's only one AdamJT13 and he belongs to US!

[Chocolate Lab]

Great sig pic, Danny. :laugh2: :bow:

I don't agree. Gibbs has done this kind of thing his whole career. Long before Little Nepolean ever became the owner. I think that was all Gibbs.

I remember reading somewhere that the most places that Denver can move up is 9 from like 31 to 22. Apparently the trade is so complex that it can end in almost a thousand ways. I don't have exacts, but i know that denver doesnt just automatically get our 1st rounder

[peplaw06]

I was wondering if the Skins brought back Bobby Bethard as a consultant or something

[Rampage]

i don't see them losing to the texans

[Mansta54]

I picked the Texans also. The foreskins can't score, they can't cover on D and the have zero pass rush. That's a bad combonation. Johnson and Moulds will kill them.

[Mansta54]

i don't see them losing to the texans


I do!!!!!!

[pancakeman]

There's only one AdamJT13 and he belongs to US!
:thankyou: :worthy2: :bravo: :clap: :bravo: :clap:

[Mansta54]

Sometimes I have to ask myself whether I enjoy a cowboys win more, or a redskins loss more.

Its not as simple as you may think.


I've asked myself that same question many times.. The both feel soooo good!! :lmao2:

[Mansta54]

Texans 24 Foreskins 13

[HTownCowboysFan]

There is NO way that's happening. None.

I'd love it, although I hate the Texans. But they are HORRIBLE.

Do you agree that there's more of a chance of the Texans beating the Redskins than any other team in the NFC East? Because it strikes me that Philly was in trouble early in that opener with Houston.

Philly's offense is WAY better than what Washington has shown, and their D looks better too. Washington is without Springs another game right? I wouldn't say there's no possibility... stranger things have happened.

[LeonDixson]

I suspect the Skins will take down the Texans. I think Mr. King is just trying to start a fire in the nations capital.

I think so too. I don't think their defense will up 24 to Houston.

[FLcowboy]

I feel the same way about seeing Philadelphia lose. I got to host my neighbor who is an Eagle fan last week, and it made my day to watch him squirm all through the 4th quarter and overtime as the giants came back to win.

[big dog cowboy]

Should the Texans actually beat the Redstinks, that is really gonna leave a mark. All that money for a 0-3 start? Ouch! Oh the best part? Week 4 they play Jacksonville. I smell a train wreck.

[vlad]

118 yards? these guys crack me up, but lets go texans

[TheSkaven]

The almighty Adam Shefter picked the Texan's on NFLN too. yippee.The Texans are a dreadful team, as much as I'd like to see it happen, I can't see the Skins losing this game. I think the 49ers have a better chance of upsetting the Eagles than the Texans beating the Redskins.

That's an amazing picture

[yeppers]

Peter Queen is an Idiot. Im a 'boys fan, n i gotta say his articles are soo damn off. His bias shows through everything he writes.

I guess he was wrong with that prediction. I was hoping he wansnt but it proves how much he doesnt know.
