BRING ON THE REDSKINS


No more waiting, watching, wondering - the date and opponent are set. Next Saturday, January 14 at 1:30 pm PST the Seahawks will begin the progressive dismantling and destruction of the last monkey on the Seahawks' back - the decades elusive playoff win.

Come back often, we have a lot to talk about. And GO SEAHAWKS!!!

UPDATE: Drop in over at bizarro world, our nemesis for the week. Heck, I might even invite the author over to the gameday chat!

  1. BRING ON THE REDSKINS, BRING ON THE REDSKINS. I CAN'T WAIT. WHY CAN'T WE PLAY THEM TOMMORROW.

    I AM READY TO SEE THE FIRST SEAHAWKS PLAYOFF WIN IN MY EXISTENCE. LAST TIME THE SEAHAWKS WON I WASN'T BORN YET.

    I WANT REVENGE. WE NEED TO MAKE UP FOR MISSIN A LATE FIELD GOAL. THIS TEAM IS HUNGRY, SEATTLE IS HUNGRY, 12 Seahawks Street IS HUNGRY.

    I DON'T WANT A CLOSE GAME HIT EM IN THE MOUTH ALL DAY. LET SCOBEY SCORE ON A KICK RETURN. LET THE DEFENSE SCORE 3 TOUCHDOWN, BRUNNEL CAN AND WILL MAKE MISTAKES. LETS PLAY MISTAKE FREE FOOTBALL.

    LETS BEAT THEM 50-0 AND SEND JOE GIBBS BACK INTO RETIREMENT. I AM SUPER PUMPED THAT WHY I AM WRITING IN CAP LOCKS.

    I CAN KEEP RANTING BUT I WILL STOP HERE.

  2. While I don't fear the Redslurs, and I'm looking forward to erase one of our early season defeats, I was kind of hoping to play the Bucs or the Giants, to take advantage of the rookie QBs.

    Watching the Giant game now and it looks like Carolina will be going to Chicago next week!

    Lucas looks good.

  3. I can't believe none of the pundits are talking about the horribly inconsistent officiating job in the Washington-Tampa game?

    Washington intercepted that pass and then fumbled it on the tackle, but the refs called the guy down by contact, so Gruden couldn't challenge.

    Then, Cadillac fumbles, a skin comes out of a pile with the ball, and they let the play continue. How could that guy NOT be down by contact.

    Then, in what SHOULD have been called in the Jeremy Shockey TD in the Giants-Seahawks game, Tampa is screwed out of a TD catch late in the game.

    Apparently the refs have it in for BOTH teams that entered the league in 1976!

    It's the classic situation where the officials get it wrong the first time but then correct it the second time. That's just unfortunate for the team that loses out the first time. (I saw the end zone replay that showed clearly that Caddilac fumbled.) NFL officials have the most difficult job in pro sports (lots of players and ground to cover) but the NFL also has the worst officials. (The league is too cheap to develop and pay for full time officials. These guys are insurance salesmen and high school principles during the week.)
    ---
    The difference between the Sheperd incompletion and the Shockey phantom TD is that on a play where the receiver is falling down on the catch then he must maintain control through his fall. The Shockey play was a different category of incompletion. The league said the play should have been ruled incomplete on the field because he didn't get the 2nd foot down.

  7. SEA-TURD EATER:

    You have no idea how funny you are. The only storm I hear in the distance is the thunder of laughter and derision over the Redskins' record setting performance yesterday.

    I'm not sure what game you watched, but what I saw yesterday was the deadskins take the record for the worst "winning" offensive performance in NFL playoff history.

    What a freaking joke. If this is what the skins are bringing to Seattle, I'll roll out the Blue carpet for them.

    Ummm, Sea-turd eater, unless you haven't been paying attention, if not for a left upright getting in the way, we would have run the NFC East this year!

    Enjoy being "King for a Day", cuz you're going down in Seattle next week.

  11. I'm just glad I get to see it. If our game had been on Sunday, I would have been flying back to school.

    As for the comment about the "so-called division winner". Dude, have you looked at the standings? We sort of ran away with the West.

    Its time to get revenge.

    To be FACTUAL...Washington faces these dilemas:

    *3000 mile ride
    *Worst stadium for a visitor in the NFL---BAR NONE
    *Rain
    *A pissed off team from the loss
    *A pissed off team from the screwjob PI call
    *A team with one demon left to slaughter, after slaying the other 100 or so in the last 18 weeks
    *Best offense in football...and yes, over the Colts...do your homework
    *FULLY LOADED...thats right, no major injuries like last time...EVERYONE is here...if you thought we gave up a ton of yards recently, and get killed by the passing game recently...you didnt do your homework...our secondary will finally be back, healthy, at the same time

    Washington

  14. >>> As for the comment about the "so-called division winner". Dude, have you looked at the standings? We sort of ran away with the West. <<<

    Greetings, Seahawks fans. As a Redskins fan, I was pointed out to this site and think it looks sharp. I'm looking forward to our game this Saturday.

    I wasn't going to say anything but noticed the part I quoted above and *had* to write *something* about it.

    True, the Seahawks ran away with the West, and also hit a quite nice 13 wins, but when you look a little closer... you have to admit that Seattle has had a wonderful schedule this year.

    Jacksonville may have been the best team that they faced off against, and the Seahawks lost to them. The 'Skins and the Giants are two other good teams they they went up against - and they lost to the 'Skins, and by all rights should have lost to the Giants.

    Next up is in my little mental power ranking list would be the Dallas Cowboys; the Seahawks beat them 13-10.

    Really convincing.

    Actually, you may as well throw in the Falcons and the Seahawks 3-point victory over them.

    (The Colts would easily be the best team that they have played, but they didn't play the real Colts so I won't give them credit for that.)

    As for the rest of the schedule? Sorry if I don't get excited about the Seahawks beating up on the 49ers, the Eagles, the Cardinals, the Rams, the Texans, and the Titans.

    Now, I'm not completely dissing the Seahawks here. I'm just saying that they had a good team and a good schedule, and good on them for taking advantage. You take wins where you can get them, and 13 wins is still 13 wins - that's better than what the 'Skins did!

    But I don't think it's fair to say that the Seahawks "ran away" with the division - in the sense that they were so much better; more, that the rest were so much worse.

    The Seahawks are a strong team. As a 'Skins fan, I am seriously nervous about Alexander - first and foremost - and a solid team offensively and defensively, otherwise. But of any of the teams in the NFC that the 'Skins could be playing next week, I'm thinking the Seahawks have to be the most beatable.

  15. TrickyBuddha - welcome to enemy territory!

    While we did play in a soft division this season, you can't say we should have lost to the Giants without also saying we should have beaten you straight up in DC in week 4.

    Josh Brown is MONEY from that distance, and you guys got lucky that the upright got in the way of our rightful victory.

    And soft division or not, if you can't beat us straight up at your house, how you gonna deal with a 3,000 mile road trip and 60,000 screaming fans??!!

    Just ask your fellow NFC LEAST team, the 11 falst start Giants, how easy it is to play at Qwest field.

    Your offense put up 41 yards passing and gave up close to 200 yards to CHRIS SIMMS for crissakes. Wait and see what Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander can do with a full slate of receivers, and a healthy defense.

    It should be a great game, well for us at least!

  18. Tricky, First of all welcome to the blog.

    Second, we've been dealing with persons that hold to the logic you just conveyed all season, so pardon us if we sound a little tempermental about it.

    Regarding your "little mental power ranking list", let's give it a run down.

    First of all, a common misconception is that the Seahawks got 'lucky' because their kicker missed three potential game winning field goals. In actuality, it is the Giants who were lucky - The NFL admitted that one of their touchdowns was illegitimate. The three field goal opportunities should never have happened. It should have been a seven point win outright.

    And keep in mind, THIS IS THE GIANTS TEAM THAT BEAT YOU 36-0. YOU WERE SHUT OUT . How convincing is that?

    Then you have the narrow victories against the Falcons and Cowboys. I'm not sure what you are getting at here, with a three point win not being convincing. How much would have been convincing? What would you have called the Redskins four point win over the hapless Cards? Ovewhelming evidence? Your two point win over the Bears? A thesis?

    Don't even get me started on your loss to the Raiders.

    Anyhoo, I look forward to the matchup on Saturday. I look forward to seeing this much vaunted defense make like swiss cheese.

    You are welcome to the blog anytime. Might I ask how you heard of it?

  19. I love what Sean Salisbury just said about the Redskins coming to Seattle:

    "If Santana moss doesn't have a big game, they will not win in Seattle. If it's a shootout, they will not win in Seattle.

    "All 120 yards of total offense will buy you is a bus ticket, an apple, and a road map home
    ."

    Posted by JoSCh

  22. Howdy folks, and thanks for the warm greetings! Sorry for the length of this post, but you guys make me wordy!

    First, I found this nice blog by visiting the Washington Post, indirectly. There was a sidebar that said "blogging this article" and linked to a 'Skins blog. *That* site had a message from this blog inviting 'Skins fans to check out the hometown of the upcoming opponent. So, the well-lit roads and pleasing street signs brought me here. :)

    Secondly, I currently live in Edmonton, Canada. That might not seem important, but my point is that our local affiliate is local to Seattle, and so we get Seattle games all year long and are always hearing about Seattle in the news. I have to abandon the house for the local sports bar to keep up with my 'Skins. ;) My point is that there�s a lot of Seahawks on TV and I�m not impressed. Beat my �Skins this week, and I�ll be impressed (and sad). Beat Carolina or the Bears, and I�ll start to think that the Seahawks might be having a good year � despite that lax schedule. Beat the Colts or whomever makes it for the AFC to the Superbowl? Well, I�ll be surprised. In other words, respect is earned. Y�all might be tired, but until you beat the big boys you gotta keep hearing it.

    And for the record, saying you probably should have lost to the Giants was maybe unfair. But for a team so good as yours, such close games against the NFC Least! Well, I don't know what to say... ;)

    Thirdly, I didn't consider it worth mentioning but I think it's easy enough to dismiss the issues of a 3000 mile ride, rain, and an otherwise angry team. That's called life in the NFL; you deal with it (unless you play for the Saints!).

    Best offense in football? Do my homework? OK, I did my homework. It looks like KC has the best offense � according to NFL.com. Arizona has the best passing offense. Atlanta has the best rushing offense. Seattle has the best scoring offense, which is probably what you meant - by scoring 40+ points against power forces like the Eagles, Texans, and 49ers. But like I originally said, everyone runs up the totals by beating up on the hapless, so I won't criticize your birds any more than that! ;)

    Fourthly, the 'Skins earned a whopping 120 yards of offense and � what? � beat the Buccaneers! That's what! You want to bet we can�t do that again? I don�t think you want to take that bet. We already took that roadmap, that apple, and that bus ticket, and parlayed it into a trip to Seattle � we�re more than ready to do it again. We believe!

    From firsthand experience, you guys should know that the 'Skins defense changes teams in ways that they don't want to be changed. And you should also know that the offense does just enough to earn that win - particularly the last six weeks. Well, at least enough to win � sometimes a whole lot more.

    So, fifthly, you can talk all you would like to about the 'Skins getting blanked by the Giants (in round one) or losing to this team or barely beating that team - but we're not the team puffing up our chests and doing everything we can to validate ourselves because we're so deadly afraid that we're going to lose our first match up in the play-offs � again! We're the team that needed a big winning streak just to make the playoffs, and the team that probably shouldn't have won on the round against TB, and probably shouldn't be winning on the road against Seattle. But guess what? We�re getting it done! And the road is only getting harder, but I stand by my original words � any team is capable of beating the �Skins this week, but I�ll take Seattle over the rest. You�re our best chance to make it another week! ;)

  23. Very zen like, but WTF are all the weird symbols? I wonder why it did that. It's not consistent, pretty bizzare. Unless its a freaky Slurs/Buddist virus you've sprung on us with your trickery!

    Anyway, most of your response is opinion, welcome and appreciated, but not debatable. Some people think cucumbers taste better pickled, to quote Dave Chappell. That said, scoring offense  and scoring defense are what win games, not yards for and yards allowed. And that is where the stats will show that the Seahawks should beat your team. Also, I hear Vegas likes Seattle, they gotta keep them lights on somehow. 9.5 point favorites, it just doesn't look good for your boys. That is a sucker bet if there ever was one, trying to get people to bet the underdog to cover. I smell blowout. Regardless, good luck to you this weekend.

  24. Good post, tricky.It seems to me that you feel that the Seahawks haven't really proven anything to your satisfation, that essentially the jury is still out. But that's why they play the games, isn't it?

    We'll, I'd say I wish you luck like JoSCh did, but I'd be lying. I really want you to lose a fair fight. I can at least say I wish you team to come up uninjured, unlike many Steeler fans rooting over a broken and pronate Bengals QB.

  25. (Apparently my trickery was sprung; my virus failed. Maybe next time. Or maybe I just wrote the post in MS Word and copy-and-pasted it into the comment box. Oops! :))

    You're right, JoSCh, I'm not arguing based on stats and provable propositions. Why? Because if games were determined by what makes sense, well - the Redskins likely wouldn't even be in the play-offs.

    The Seahawks have scored more TDs than anyone else in the league. And they've let up less than the Redskins. They're 8-0 at home, while the 'Skins are only 4-4 on the road. The numbers continue on!

    But I don't think they matter. They didn't matter the first time these two teams played. Why should now be any different?

    What does matter? Why, it's the intangibles, of course. That's what's gotten the 'Skins this far.

    Why is Gibbs 17-5 in the play-offs? Why is Holmgren 0-for with Seattle in the play-offs? Why are the 'Skins winning six in a row after being shut out by the Giants and losing to the Raiders? Why are the Seahawks losing to decent opponents, and only beating up on the weaker opponents? Why are the 'Skins costantly in tight games, and, lately, winning? Why are the Seahawks losing to GB, and almost losing to SF or Tenn on the road? Why are the 'Skins getting turn-overs, and using them to get points even when their offense isn't getting them?

    Intangibles.

    I'm not so foolish as to think the 'Skins are a lock to move on to the next round past Seattle - but again, of any team in the NFC we could be playing right now, I'm more optimistic about our chances knowing that we're playing Seattle - a team that just doesn't seem to get the intangibles going their way often enough.

    Let me ask a question. In the few years I've been paying attention to Seattle as a result of seeing them on TV all the time, I've seen a lot of excuses. Holmgren couldn't handle the GM and Coaching duties. The owner wasn't ponying up for good players. Good players didn't want to come to Seattle. Players aren't healthy at the right times. Players can't catch the ball. Etc. I know, I know - I'm forgetting a lot of them!

    Well, you're at home, everyone is healthy, and your front office is straight. What will be the excuse if you guys don't win it all this year? Uh oh!

    ;)

    PS Here's a Seahawks quote for you guys. Any guesses who said it?

    "You know, people didn't respect us. We came in and tried to earn respect. Obviously, we didn't get it done today."

  26. I can't wait until 7:00pm Eastern when we can FINALLY be rid of that "haven't won a playoff game since 1984" mantle.

    You're right about intangibles playing a large part in NFL games, and if you've been paying attention to the Seahawks this season, they've been leveraging the intangibles to erase ALL of the perennial knocks on this franchise.

    And while our historic futility in the playoffs may bring you some comfort, remember that history means even less than statistics.

    Giants have won two superbowls, but that didn't help Eli Manning. Tampa has won one, no help for Simms the younger. Cincy has been to the big dance, no help for Palmer/Kitna.

    What matters is what happens on the field for 60 minutes on Saturday. If the action on the field is anything like that on the forums, it should be a hellava game.

  27. Tricky,

    Your last post is so full of double standards and dubious rhetoric that it's difficult to know where to start.

    "Why is Gibbs 17-5 in the play-offs? Why is Holmgren 0-for with Seattle in the play-offs?" 

    You're right, it is the intangibles in this case. But it would be more accurate to say "Why WAS Gibbs 17-5" and "why WAS Holmgren 0-fer". Why? Because for this season, Ruskell and company have purged the bad character guys, and brought in players WITH the intangibles you speak of. That is the difference between this team and those of seasons past. If you truly follow the Seahawks as you say, I'm surprised you don't know this.

    "Why are the 'Skins winning six in a row after being shut out by the Giants and losing to the Raiders?"

    Because they are horribly inconsistent. If they had better character, and the intangibles you speak of, They wouldn't have those ass whoopin's on their record. If you look at the Seahawks schedule this season, you will see no such game, with the exception of the opener, but that is such distant history now that it hardly merits consideration. So who has the intangibles?

    "Why are the Seahawks losing to decent opponents, and only beating up on the weaker opponents?"

    Umm, the Seahawks have a winning record agains 'decent' opponents. And beating up on weaker opponents mean we lack intangibles? You must mean something else, because that sentence, at face value, is so pointless and stupid it could have come from a Rams fan.

    "Why are the 'Skins costantly in tight games, and, lately, winning?"

    And the Seahawks AREN'T? WHAT? If I were you, I would regret typing that. If this demonstrates that the Redskins have some sort of intangible, then the Seahawks have it too.

    "Why are the Seahawks losing to GB, and almost losing to SF or Tenn on the road?"

    If you don't know why the Seahawks lost to GB, then you know nothing about the Seahawks AT ALL. And don't make be pull out all the eggs that the 'intangible skins' have laid this season. Lousy argument.

    "Why are the 'Skins getting turn-overs, and using them to get points even when their offense isn't getting them?"

    Probably because they have an agressive, ball hawking defense, and a creative and resourceful DC. But that's just straight up good football. And it's one side of the equation. Seattle leads the league in giveaways. If that is what the skins are going to depend on to win, it's going to be attacking the shark at the teeth.

    I really expect better, more thought out conversation in this blog, Tricky. Please bring coherence and a logical foundation to your posts, or I'll just get bored and move on. I don't see much sense in talking in circles.

  28. I'm going to start over and simplify my point here. I'm responding to so many varied points that *my* points are losing focus and I'm confusing people.

    There are 4 teams left in the NFC Superbowl hunt: Seattle, Chicago, Washington and Carolina. My favorite team is Washington - and that leaves me, as a fan, with three teams to potentially see my team play: Seattle, Chicago, or Carolina. Now, I want to see my 'Skins win, so I want to see them face off against the team that gives my team the best possibility of earning a win.

    And that team is? Seattle.

    And since the seeds have us playing the Seahawks, I'm pretty happy.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the Redskins are more talented than the Seahawks. I would never say that because the Seahawks have scored more TDs than the Redskin; they have allowed less points than the Redskins; they have a pro-bowl RB in Alexander who's just a force. They have an experienced QB. They've brought in some talented defenders, and those guys have paid off. And they've been consistent. I'm not trying to compare the Redskins to the Seahawks straight up. On paper, I don't think it's even a match. Maybe the only Redskins offensive players I take over Seahawks based on talent are Jansen, Cooley and Moss.

    But when I bring up the soft schedule and the excuses and the past post-season failures, I don't bring them up to say that the past is equal to the present and because it happened before it will happen again; I bring those points up to suggest that there is a climate there. A climate of doubt. Is Holmgren good enough to lead us to the promised land? Can we win in the playoffs? Is our 13-3 record for real?

    This is part of the reason why I hoped we'd face off with the Seahawks. The other reason? Well, let's just say that the Panthers scare me. They've been to the Superbowl. They've won some big games. They've been in pressure cookers. They've got a team that believes. They've got a coach that believes. They have talented players. There is nothing to say against them. Oh, and they just shut out the Giants.

    And the Bears? Not as talented as the Panthers on offense, for certain (kind of like the Redskins). But they've got a defense that just doesn't break. I think the 'Skins only beat them in the regular season because the Bears were adjusting to life without Grossman. Their defensive line has come alive since, they've found their identity, and I just get this feeling of worry when I think about the Bears. Still, I'd rather play them than the Panthers.

    PS I don't follow the Seahawks. I'm subjected to them. ;) Ha. :)

  29. There is no "climate of doubt" here this year. You can hear it in the 67,000 screaming fans. This is the season of expectation. The only doubt I see comes from the many who do not follow the team, from those who do not see the subtle but real difference in the makeup of this year's team.

    You've talked in very abstract terms - a "climate", "intangibles" - nothing of real substance, just rhetorical crutches in your attempt to fabricate an unexplainable and ficticious condition. It's obvious you feel that the Seahawks are not for real, but beleive me, none of us in this blog agree with your doubts. We have faith in this team. Not a blind faith, but one based on established facts, the record and stories that began when Paul Allen ousted Bob Whitsitt and hired Tim Ruskell. Ever since, the heart of this team has been transformed from what was expected by many to place 3rd in the NFC West to the team you see today. This team accomplished this mostly by heart and determination, and this continues to be the greatest asset this team posesses.

    You'll just have to wait and see. You may doubt now, but on Saturday you will believe.

  30. Our redzone defense is right there with the Bears at 2nd in the NFL...and we are 1st in redzone offense...


    Believe me, the way I see it...the fans in that stadium will carry the Seahawks on their backs if they have to, but I dont think they need to...Seattle has been polluted with jerks and me first players for several years...Holmgren has differences with the FO, in particular a guy named Bob Whitsitt---last year Whitsitt was fired, and they brought in the BETTER BE Executive Of The Year, Tim Ruskell...he cut all the bad apples (talented or not)...and replaced them with guys with heart, nonstop motors, and a never quit attitude.

    I understand the feeling of that in the past, I sometimes dont trust this team...but they kept surprising me all year...people say we were lucky, but they obviously didnt watch our games, not one game this year could be considered lucky outside of the first Rams game, because where everyone says we caught a key break...they failed to mention the opponents' key breaks.

    Im a little offended that you consider the Bears as a more dangerous team, but im keeping in mind that Washington is different from Seattle, and matchups are more important than talent/stats/whatever else...and Washington would probably have to grind out a game against them...I just dont see how Seattle is such an easy victory, and for once this year...we are full strength

    Washington will have to run away with the game in the 3rd quarter, or there will be trouble. Seattle has proven a million times---against good defenses (yours included) that they can drive late in the game 80+ yards for a TD to tie or take a lead...Washington will need to play a full 60 minutes consistently dominant, or they will have trouble...Seattle's offense doesn't make mistakes, so there is no room for error for the Redskins

    We're the obvious favorites in this game, and to be honest, I might start believing in curses should we somehow lose another playoff game...I dont see it happening, which would confirm its a freak occurence, valid point...but this team is different---and the fans aren't just saying that

  31. I'm a Skins fan and it boils down to one thing: How can you even imagine being beaten by a team that's divison competition was St. Louis, Arizona and San Francisco? On the otherhand, Hasselbeck is a good QB and nothing needs to be said about Alexander that hasn't been said with his performance. Skins have a mediocre Offense and an above average Defense, thats what they got going for em. Seattle has been dominate with 13 - 3 under their belt, plus have home field advantage. Guess that's it.
