    ^^^^^^^^

    This, and a touchdown would be nice.

  • I want to see Hoyer take charge end this Bullshit...

    That and no injuries...

    ... and world peace...

    I expect to see two supremely overhyped QB's, one on each team. RG III because of the NFL's burning desire to have a black elite QB, and JF because he is an enigma.

    I expect to see two QB's with upside, one on each team. Cousins because he filled in admirably for RG III, and Hoyer because he filled in admirably for a few games.

    I expect to see two bad teams duke it out for the chance to get out of the basement.

    Did I read that wrong or did you mean Manziel is over-hyped with no upside? If that's the case you started a war with all the JF "fanboys" on the board
  • put yourself between a bullet and a target.

  • Not that l'm looking for this, but l can just about guarantee the talking heads are gonna fill some air space talking about the Redskins and their offensive name, and draw parallels to the Tribe.

    oh definitely. I can already hear it

    They can try... Unlike the WSH team name, which is a racial slur, "Indians" is not.

    As for the caricature, Chief Wahoo, the worst that can be said of it is that it is not flattering. But caricatures are rarely flattering...

    My $0.02... now bring on the game...

  • tomorrow on nfl network get ready for a big dose of RG3 and manziel. even though hoyer is starting the game (you won't see much footage or talk of him) today it was all about manziel's comments yesterday and how all that means is that instead of starting game 1 he'll be starting game 2.

    this media circus is unbearable at times.

  • So..week 2 of preseason, what do you hope to see out of our team.

    Id like to see a better performance out of our defense. Gilbert in action, and some cameron as well. Will JF play with the ones like has been stated. I know the coaching staff doesnt want to give their hand away in terms of playcalling, but id like to see how they use Cameron with Jf at the helm.

    You should see plenty of Gilbert Monday- Skrine has a thumb injury that may require surgery.

    How long do you think the starters stay in? 1st half?

    That's the plan. Pettine has contacted Gruden to see if he can get the Redskins to keep their #1s in equally long.

  • in sandusky we'd get the "SUNDAY NIGHT at the MOTORCITY SPEEDWAY!!! SPEEDWAY!!! SPEEDWAY!!! ads that would just freak us kids out. laying in bed listening to sports radio and all of a sudden beezlebub is announcing am radio commercials.

  • I can tell you what I don't want to see. Those mind numbing penalty flags flying all over the field for pass interference and defensive holding on tickie tack contact. Not to mention the thirty three yard extra

    point. A flag could and should fly on every play if the stupid rules are truly and fairly enforced. Just another way for the NFL to manipulate the outcome of games to make them more exciting or to tie the spread.

    Way too late for that my friend. I've watched 4-5 games now for various teams and they've been consistently incredible on the flags being thrown. I'm not sure if he will or not, but I only hope Goddell looks at the preseason and realizes you can't have a game like that. I'd believe right now in the preseason that average flags are close to 20-21. The biggest issue for me is all these ticky tack flags result in automatic first downs.

    Add to that I have heard announcers report conversations with refs that:

    A. the emphasis is for pre-season and will not carry forward; and

    B. the emphasis is here to stay...

    ... so we have that going for us.

    Personally I can see the holding emphasis stay, but the contact calls relaxed. Seems like I've seen more hand fighting in week 2 go uncalled.

    On brighter officiating notes...

    - I've yet to see a single "defenseless receiver" call this pre-season despite some pretty wicked, clean hits including Whitner's Week 1 shot.

    - I've only seen one roughing the passer that I thought was a tic-tac call.

    So it seems past points of emphasis have taken root.

    Actually, the game is being broadcast on ESPN, not the NFL Network, no? Plus, I think, locally it is also on NBC Channel 3.

    And what am I looking for tonight? A football game.

    Dragway 42 is still there. I drove by it a couple of months ago. I believe it is a dirt track though.

    Yep....Thompson is alive and kicking too....

  • Offensive touchdowns.

    3rd down conversions.

    Better play from recievers.

    Better play calling from coaches.

    Jon Gruden with a severe case of laringitis.

  • Since I think the decision for Hoyer as starter has been made already, it does not matter what JM does. Still, I hope they both play well and both get at least a TD each if not more.

    I want to see the D shut down the skins to 10 points or less for the game with all coming in the second half against the 2's & 3's.

  • Yep....Im easy....a touchdown and some open field tackles would be a great start!....followed closely by the receivers catching and some positive running yards.....

    Problem is they don't practice tackling anymore.

    So you're going to watch a rebroadcast on BTN?

    Last time I looked the Browns are not shown there.
