The Michael "Let's blame it all on Suisham" Wilbon Meltdown.

[FLcowboy]

Don't get me wrong: Seattle is a worthy postseason team, a division champ, a team only two seasons removed from the Super Bowl. They've got a great coach in Mike Holmgren, a big-time experienced quarterback in Hasselbeck and an exceptionally fast defense that, combined with the world's loudest crowd, confounded the Commanders most of the day.

A playoff team ought to overcome those factors if they were supposed to win the game. If you can't outplay the opponent, then you shouldn't win a playoff game.

But the Commanders, for the first time since the Buffalo game at the end of November in the days following the death of Sean Taylor, made the kind of mistakes a team simply cannot overcome in the playoffs.

Playoff winning teams don't make stupid mistakes, and then blame the field goal kicker.

It was all set up so perfectly until the blown field goal and the Collins interceptions. The sigh of relief you could hear. It's coming from Dallas, where the Cowboys, their coaches, a QB and his celebrity girlfriend all exhaled, knowing they don't have to fight off a blood rival with underdog status and absolutely zero pressure in a playoff game.

Well, it really wasn't a setup. The Skins lucked into the lead. Their lack of skill lost it for them. Moss gave up on a play that resulted in an interception for a TD. That wasn't Colllins' fault. And Washington wouldn't have any pressure to play in a second round playoff game where they were the underdog? The pressure would be terrific on them, since they were the team of self proclaimed destiny. They created the pressure by losing all those games in the first half of the season while the Cowboys were winning all those games. They are what they are, the third place team in the division.

You know this means that the people that make ES look bad are the same people who make our board look bad.

[FLcowboy]

29 for 50, 266 yards, 2 TD's, 2 INT's, 3 sacks.

Oh yeah, that's definitely Fathead worthy.

Regardless, Collins was still the best Skin on the field.

Very well put! I never thought about it that way...

 

[hermitkid]

Ridiculous, that's all that comes to mind. If you want to single out individual players the first one I would start is at Chris Cooley. If he catches that ball at the 2 yard line Washington has a pretty good shot at going up by 8.

The offensive unit of Washington bears the brunt of the criticism for coming up short in the first half. The playmakers on offense dropped crucial passes and the offensive line didn't get its act together until the second half.

Then, with the game on the line Collins and Moss combined for some crucial mistakes giving the game to the Hawks.

That's not saying much about the Commanders my friend!


:laugh1: :laugh1:

 

[FLcowboy]

He should have never thrown that pass. Terrible decision by Collins because Trufant was still on Moss. Moss didn't even know it was thrown to him because he was covered so good that play. You have to look at your other options if the CB is still glued on the WR like that.

Moss is their best receiver. Collins was trying to win the game. Sort of like Romo forcing the ball to T.O. Sometimes you have to give the ball to the playmakers.

Riddle me this, Batman?

Did I hear that Gibbs is the first coach to not score any points in the 1st half of a playoff game? I thought I heard that after the 1st half?

 

[FLcowboy]

Ya, a good journalist would rip apart a team that rallied for four wins three days after burying their teammate to make the playoffs but lose in the first round. Not to mention losing countless starters to season ending injuries.

Then why did the Commanders think they had a chance? Why the moaning and excuse making if the team, hobbled by the loss of Taylor, and the loss of all those starters?

C'mon, you have to admit the Commanders were overreaching, along with their fans. This game was theirs to win, but belonged to the Seahawks the whole day. The Skins simply made it a contest for one quarter. The other three quarters, they were pushed all over the field.

 

[mr.jameswoods]

I think you are reading too much into this. I agree with Wilbon. Momentum is everything. That missed field goal was a heartbreaker.I don't completely agree with Wilbon but I see where he is coming from. Had they made that field goal, they would have finished the game with more momentum and confidence and who is to say what could have happened.

I don't consider Wilbon an analyst. I put him in the same category as Jim Rome or any other sports personality. There is a difference between being a sports analyst and a sports personality. Wilbon even jokingly says he predicts certain teams will win because he grew up there or is a fan of the team.

The people that bother me are the actual analysts or journalists that show an obvious bias toward one team. Guys like Peter King and Ron Jaworski come to mind

 

[mmillman]

The foreskins were dominated for three quarters. Seattle just didn't step on their throats. They were lucky to be in the game, let alone blow it because of a missed field goal.

Yup ...... the Coward ran away when he was found out.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Enough with all this Washington b.s. this is a Cowboys forum...

 

[FLcowboy]

But see the Seahawks were OUT of it before that missed FG. And once Hasselback saw that he had another chance to redeem himself and that his previous INT did not HURT the team he was CONFIDENT again and never looked back.

You make some great leaps in assumptions:

The Commanders were not out of it when they trailed 13-0, and scoreless in the first three quarters, yet the Seahawks were out of it when they trailed 14-13.

I don't see the logic here, since the Commanders didn't come into Seattle as Division champs or anything. They were the wild card. Why would the Seahawks be afraid of the Commanders?

 

[SportsAnalyzer]

Ok let me explain myself. I'm a Diehard EaglesHater and I thought that you wouldn't be able to EXPRESS YOURSELF without getting attacked if you wasn't a fan of the team of that board. So I'm a fan of NFC EAST CHAT and there are not a lot of boards on the net that I can go to and discuss the NFC EAST under the BULLETIN STYLE MESSAGE BOARD. ES skins and CZ are BULLETIN STYLE Message boards and those boards are compatible with my internet browser. So I just needed a place to go to and Trash the Eagles and thought that I wouldn't be accepted by the community if I stated I wasn't a fan of that board. And not once did I trash the cowboys on this board because i HATE THE EAGLES. And I was unable to use the scout.com boards this season because they made an upgrade last year and I was unable to post. So I found ES and CZ and thought they were great places to have NFC Chat because they were VERY ACTIVE. Some of you may remember me asking this question earlier in the season


"ARE THERE ANY EAGLES AND GIANTS MESAGE BOARDS SiMILAR TO EXTREME SKINS AND COWBOYSZONE??



And I trashed emmit smith because he had a STUTTERING problem not because I like the Skins. So maybe my screen name should have just been EAGLESHATER instead of SportsAnalyzer. So I came clean since BIGD expose me this afternoon

When the Skins were down 13-0 it was still 2 quarters left in the game, when seattle trailed by 1 and possibly 4, the game was in the last quarter so that's the difference

you dont?


So your thread on this board "Why does the Eagles Offense look better without Mcnabb???"
http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104323



is just a coincidence that is exactly the same as this thread on ES from NFLanalyzer "Why does the Eagles Offense Look better Without Mcnabb??"

http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=223368



Both threads were started at the same time on both boards


and NFLanalyzer (AKA YOU) is a Skins fans responsible for threads such as

"2 reasons why the skins can't lose to the Bucs next week"

"Can't believe it's friday and I'm still sick over what happend last sunday" (Skins loss)

Philly Sportswriter speaks about how good the Commanders Defense is this year



Reading your history there you are obviously a Skins fan


reading your post history here you are obviously a troll



So again i ask why are you here pretending to be a Cowboys fan?
