Rod Gardner is now the Redskins' top-rated passer. Spurrier will probably put him in as QB instead of Ramsey next week ...

Meanwhile, can someone explain where the Seahawks' defense was all day?

If there was one thing that came out in the Post after last week's loss to Dallas, it was how often Ramsey was hammered by the Dallas rush. The guy was a floppy doll watching the opposition swarm over him like a flood. This week he and his stunt double QB get 27 points! Did Chad and the boys phone in their entries this week?

NUTS!!!!!

We just couldn't get it done. It was hard fought all the way and Washington just kept digging. Now St. Louis can tie us for the divsion lead with a win tonight. It's a thrilling ride so far, and it's get even moreso with each coming week. Hang onto your seat, it's gonna be a blast all the way to the finish line!!!
GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!

They just could not stop the momentem of the interseption/fumble in the endzone, they played their hearts out though.
GO HAWKS!!!

Here is my two cents (worth a lot less)...

Okay…..
After removing myself from the situation for a spell, I am ready to cure the Seahawk ills…

In the vein of “Dr. Phil” it is time to GET REAL….

All favoritism out the door. Time to take a look NOT as a Seahawk fan but an NFL fan at our team.

RIGHT NOW:

This team is not even CLOSE to contending.

The other three home wins (Pittsburgh, New Orleans and Chicago) are MILDLY respectable.

The New Orleans game was victory one. I would call that an “adrenaline win” based upon all the hype placed on the new defensive coordinator and Holmgren’s pressure to win now.

Then there was the win in Arizona. 38 point victories are difficult to come by in the NFL, so this is not as much of a BORING win as first thought. Still, Arizona IS Arizona…

Wins at home by one point over division rivals are wins, yes. But that’s all. Just wins. Barely. Not much to get excited over there. Just barely winning against your division.

Then Chicago. No Anthony Thomas. Chandler’s first game.

The Pittsburgh game was maybe the best win at home. The Steelers are DEFINITELY better than their record.

Which brings us to the losses. All on the road.

It is SURELY no crime to lose to the Packers in Lambeau.

It is surely a crime to lose to Cincinnati AND Washington when they are in the middle of turmoil and quitting on their whole season.

Yes, overall this 6-3 record does not look like something that will exactly SCARE other teams into submission.

BUT…..

This patient can right the wrongs before 6-3 becomes 8-8. But it won’t happen without some changes.

Here is my prescription:

1. SPRINGS GOTTA GO: Shawn, you have NEVER REALLY been the bright apple on the tree, which is why I won’t miss you. You HATE Seattle. The feeling is starting to be VERY mutual. Good luck trying to CHEAT some NFL team out there that you are worth millions in the off season. You are overrated. You are injury prone. You are pathetic. You, my dear Buckeye, are a ‘cancer’ on this team that had been in remission until you reared you ugly head this year. You will not be missed.
Not only has #24 been TOASTED all year, but the play of Lucas and Trufant makes this benching an EASY DECISION ( I would THINK).

2. DEFENSIVE AGGRESSION: The dropped balls in Washington didn’t come from just the wide receivers. Rhodes did NOTHING to TRY to aggressively pass rush a HORRIBLE TEAM that cannot HANDLE a pass rush.

Where is the defense that WENT AFTER PEOPLE in the first few games? I see no passion. I see no aggressiveness. I see no attitude….

I SEE NO CHANGE UNLESS WE START TO TAKE SOME DEFENSIVE RISKS!!!

3. SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE RECEIVERS: “Poor Darrell… that’s okay. Get the next one” needs to be REMOVED from the offense vocabulary.

And not JUST from Holmgren. Hasselbeck, I know you said, “ I don’t think yelling at these guys (when they drop balls) would work..” Guess what Matt? NOT YELLING ISN’T WORKING EITHER!!!! Maybe a benching for a play or two and some PUBLIC BLASTING on the field would damage their precious overly inflated egos.

This was supposed to be the team’s STRONG suit (WR). But it has been a liability. The “three Stooges” are not exactly spreading fear across the NFL with their underachieving.

4. PLAY 60 MINUTES. This team has either started strong or finished strong, but they have YET to put a strong effort for 60 minutes. Some people are excited by that. “Hey! We haven’t played our best yet…”

Well, save THAT phrase for when the Seahawks are sitting home in December because “playing our best” never happened and they are not in the playoffs.

There, I said it. 6-3 is FAR from a playoff guarantee. This team COULD be 6-10 still. And 9-7 is not a playoff guarantee anymore. All that takes is a 3-4 record for here on out and 9-7 here we come..

All in all, I see a 6-3 team that BARELY wins at home and losses to ANYONE on the road. Wow. Not exactly a reason to go out and plan that trip to Houston, eh? See, the NFL schedule MAKES you play 8 home games and 8 road games. Sorry. We have four more road games, and it’s against teams (BLT, STL, SF, and MIN) that make Cincinnati and Washington look like…uh…Arizona?

I am afraid that if the above is not addressed, we might have WISHED for a 9-7 season when all is said and done…

Okay, I’ll hang up and listen.

MOSES PREDICTS GAME NINE!!!!!!
Posted by MOSES on 11/6/2003, 5:38 pm

HAIL TO THEE, O SEAHAWK FANS!!!!! IT IS I, MOSES, HERE TO PREDICT THE SEAHAWK/ GAME!!!!!!

LAST WEEK: Let it not be said that the Seattle Seahawks are not giving their fans plenty of excitement…. And heart conditions….. WE ARE 6-2 !!!!!

The Seahawks travel to the FAR EAST this week to visit the place where our nation sends our finest citizens to make laws and run the country….

Hollywood?…. NO! Washington D.C…. Home of the White House, The Capitol Building , and drug induced mayors…

( ring…..ring….. Marion Berry ??? Marion Berry ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

The Redskins limp into this week’s game losers of the last four in a row. Steve Spurrier (who is STILL looking for Southwest Louisiana Tech State on his schedule) has learned the hard way so far that in the NFL the “Fun and Gun” is nothing but a Red Ryder BB gun that seems to have “poked the eyes out” of any chance the Redskins may have to win games…

( ring…..ring…..Christmas Story ??? Christmas Story ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

Their quarterback Patrick Ramsey has faced more “down time” on the ground than computers hit with a virus at Microsoft. And their running backs have been so unfulfilling that Ramsey has had more people lined up behind him than Republicans waiting for tickets to a George Bush $10,000 a plate dinner.

Not only that, but the defense has played so poorly that if it was the “national defense” we would all have been speaking Russian a long time ago…

( ring…..ring…..Leonard Breshnev ??? Leonard Breshnev??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

BUT……..

This team is still a real force to deal with. Their defense has one “For sure” Hall of Famer in Bruce Smith who can STILL get it done on quarterbacks. They also have perhaps the FUTURE in defensive standouts in defensive back Champ Bailey and linebacker LaVar Arrington… So there IS talent here.

BUT……..

No Marvin Lewis to help those youngins out this year. And it has shown…

You know, a lot of noise has been made by the Native Americans about the supposed “offensive” nickname of the Redskins (and any other name that has dared use a picture of an Indian as a mascot). I will not go into the political views regarding this matter for I Moses do not believe that this is the place to proclaim controversial views.

( ring…..ring….. Rush Limbaugh ??? Rush Limbaugh ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

No, I do not come to debate. I come to help out. Maybe this week’s TOP THREE can help the Washington Redskins find a happier and more “politically correct” mascot for their NFL team.

So, here from our office in OUR NATION’S CAPITAL comes……….. (drum roll)….

“THE TOP THREE NEW UN-OFFENSIVE FOOTBALL NAMES SUGGESTED FOR THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS ”
3. THE WASHINGTON MONUMENTS: Go you….uh… obelisks?
2. THE WASHINGTON INTERNS: And all of the cheerleaders can dress like Monica Lewinsky!
1. THE WASHINGTON UN-OFFENSIVE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM: No offensive mascot. No offensive team color. No labeling numbers on the uniforms or possible offensive labeling brought on by names on the uniforms… Just plain white uniforms with plain white helmets…

Wait! That uniform is already taken in COLLEGE football!

( ring…..ring….. Joe Paterno ??? Joe Paterno ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

Still, I must admit that I wait each day for the Olson twins to boycott Minnesota baseball and U2 to boycott Notre Dame football…. BUT I DIGRESS…

THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR the redfaces
1. LaVAR ARRINGTON: Can be a single handed wrecking crew.
2. LAVERANEUS COLES: A constant threat deep.
3. PATRICK RAMSEY: Very fragile, but if he gets in a rhythm…

THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR THE SEAHAWKS:
1. SHAUN ALEXANDER: Should run rough shot over this defense.
2. CHAD BROWN: We need his passion. We need his SACKS!
3. DARRELL JACKSON: Did he exercise the “dropsy demons” last week?

SO, CAN THEY DO IT?????

MOSES PREDICTS:
SEAHAWKS 31
Washington red faces 19

SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE!!!!!
MOSES

HEY MOSES!!! WHAT'S FOR DINNER FOR GAME NINE?????
