Official Skins/Steelers Game Day Thread

[Blondie]

The 2nd preseason game of the 2009 REDSKIN season​

What shall this season bring? Where is Miss Cleo when we need her?

Anyway........let's do this!!!​

My very first OFFICIAL GAME THREAD on this great site.

Let's give the SKINS some love guys and gals!!

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!​

Time to tailgate, fire up the grill, open a few, and talk some football.

 

[Boone]

Although so far, my tailgate consists of me, myself, and I, and I'll have to listen to the game on the radio, it beats living in the desert.

If there is a God, the 'shorten pre-season/add 2 games to the regular season' rumor will prove true. I'm ready to sacrifice some innocent creature for it if necessary.

 

[Blondie]

If you have the NFL channel, you can get the game tonight. It is being shown on that channel.

Bless their hearts for showing it!!!

 

[Boone]

I have directv for the Sunday Ticket, but can only access it once the regular season starts (directv satellites aren't where my dish can pick them up). Grrrr.... I enjoy listening to Sonny, Larry, and (when I can understand him) Sam though

 

[DieselPwr44]

So...

What would you like to see tonight or in Boone's case, hear?


Me: A competent drive on offense that results in points would suit me just fine.

Seeing some pressure applied to the opposing QB would be nice too.

Would also like to get a look at Rayner in the kicking game.

How bout the rest of you?

 

[Boone]

No injuries for starters.

#1 - Protection for Campbell.
#2 - Some holes for our running game.
#3 - A solid special teams effort (ST are always underrated)

Did I mention no injuries?

 

[Blondie]

I want to see what our O line can do.

I honestly am not confident at this time.

 

[Om]

Not exactly short and sweet, but here's my game day wish list.

Pass pro and a running lane or two from the OL.

A little downfield action from JC.

Some swagger from the D ... the first signs they might be who we think they are.

 

[BobDiamond]

I love watching a game, but sometimes these preseason affairs are just aggravating. I'll try to keep my expectations in check

Multi-Hail

Yessir, Bob.

Long offseason + Your team on TV = False Impression it's a real game.

Unless they win big of course, in which case preseason matters.

Wash Times reporting that Malcolm Kelly will start opposite Santana Moss.

Wash Times reporting that Malcolm Kelly will start opposite Santana Moss.

Very Interesting....


Looking forward to seeing if Kelly can take advantage of this opportunity tonight.
If he can hold up,what a boost to the passing game he could be.

 

[Blondie]

My friend Jose C. and I are going to watch together. If I keep putting him to my mouth I won't make it the entire game.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
