Marques Colston
 

This is where we are going to miss SP. Colstons a$$ should have been benched with that CRAP performance. Dropped balls..fumble. Hard to win a game when your #1 receiver looks like he'd rather be taking a nap.

Re: Marques Colston
 

He played like garbage. I don't know what can be done about that. Everybody looked horrible. If we can't beat a team with a rookie QB in our house then who can we beat? That game was supposed to be a gimmie!

Re: Marques Colston
 

It was not just one guys fault. The whole team played crappy ball.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Re: Marques Colston
 

Same sh*t as last year. Fumble, wtf, and that missed catch!!!!!!! Colston, get the F better bro, or kiss the curb!

Re: Marques Colston
 

i dont know whats up w/ colston. sure, he was covered well on those drops, but, that used to not matter! colston used to ALWAYS come down w/ those balls!

i had wondered why i read very little about him in camp, as far as highlights go. i had wondered why he wasnt doing anything in the preseason games. he apparently has lost the ability to get open!!!! granted, the redskins has a great secondary, but, still! whats up, colston? and whats up w/ ALL of our recievers?

Re: Marques Colston
 

I am not gong to focus on Coleston.... Morgan dropped a lot also..


Why Will They Not Put ROBY in??? That dude did not drop a pass all season. He has good hands.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Look. The fumble out of the end zone is like one of those one-in-a-zillion plays that happens every once in a blue moon, and it's completely crazy and there's almost nothing that you can do to prevent it. The problem is not that Colston fumbled while going for the end zone on an absolutely crazy play, the problem is that the whole rest of the **** team did not respond to it, with elevated intensity and drive, and a better performance to make up for it. Crazy stuff happens in football. When it's not one guy's day, the others are supposed to step up. That didn't happen.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Well it must be really crazy then cause this same thing happened with him last year. He didn't have any ball control, it wasn't like the ball was stripped.

Re: Marques Colston
 

You mean the fumble play against Green Bay when he BROKE HIS COLLARBONE? Give me a break. Like you could do better. Colston is fine. Good thing you are not a coach. Let's bench him and put in Joe Morgan, maybe he won't drop the ball. Wait what. That play was one in a million.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Check and mate!

Re: Marques Colston
 

There is only one way to express the way this team played today...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Re: Marques Colston
 

As soon as Colston caught the ball, the defender's arm came from underneath and popped it out. It wasn't like he didn't have anybody on him. He did drop a couple, but lets get real, aside from Graham and Moore, the rest of our guys couldn't catch a cold.

Guy has a bad game and you're ready to get rid of him?? Thank god YOU don't call the shots on this team. He's only the most consistent WR this team has ever had.

I know people are mad about the game, but saying stuff like that is just plain stupid.

Re: Marques Colston
 

No offense, but even with SP on the sidelines, Colston would not have been benched...

Re: Marques Colston
 

yeah, but.....

where has colston been all camp and preseason? it doesnt seem to be just this game. i dont know if its a lack of conditioning or what, but, he certainly is getting open, either. its not just the dropped balls. kinda hard to catch the ball w/ a defender all over you like flies on....

Re: Marques Colston
 

i mean, ISNT getting open

Re: Marques Colston
 

Hurt foot, maybe? Dude was listed as questionable going into today's game. Not good enough for you? "Lack of conditioning" my ass. He need to heal faster, dammit. Why can't he just grow a new foot if we need him to?

Re: Marques Colston
 

apparently he has feet for hands now, too

Re: Marques Colston
 

He couldn't have been 100%, Makes you think where he was at percentage health wise

Re: Marques Colston
 

It looked like a preseason game. I'm thinking that the team thought it was unimportant.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Thank you. He was barely cleared to play today. If you couldn't tell he was hurt just watching him run his routes you need glasses.

Re: Marques Colston
 

He has at least one game a year like this. Remember the pack last year? That fumble hurt bad. Remember the 06 NFC champ game?

Re: Marques Colston
 

Hope that ws it, hope that was why we didnt see much of sproles too

Re: Marques Colston
 

was he hurt all through camp and preseason, too? i thought this foot thing was recent.

seriously, i dont know the answer to this question. maybe, he had a hurt foot all along and i just didnt know about it. if thats the case, then i hope thats all it is, just a hurt pinky toe.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Colston has been nursing his foot all through the preseason, just aggravated it this week...

Re: Marques Colston
 

Nothing new for Colston.
Just one of his cold days.
I hope this game's performance pissed him off.

Re: Marques Colston
 

cut him now !!!!!!!!
cut him now !!!!!!!!
cut him now !!!!!!!!
cut him now !!!!!!!!
cut him now !!!!!!!!

oh god one game does not make a season. we were not sure he would play 48 hrs ago. now we have a lynch mob

Re: Marques Colston
 

He made some big drops. That said, had he made that one over the middle for a first down, we probably wouldn't have seen him for the rest of the season.

I was honestly glad he didn't catch it.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Drew has led some of his receivers into some exposed routes lately...

Re: Marques Colston
 

It's been like that for years. It is what it is.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Why you want to get all personal? Last I checked, I don't get paid millions to catch a football. Which he obviously had a problem with today. Its called expectations. He has made every catch he dropped today and then some but when we need a play, fail.

Who said anything about getting rid of him. I said bench. If you are not playing up to par, why are you in there? Let someone else have a try. How much worse could it have been? Roby has been on fire so far this year, yet he doesn't even get the chance at receiver.

Where? Where is he listed as questionable? I looked through the threads on here, didn't see anything. Never heard word one of this until now. If this is true, well then that would explain things.

Again..see above. Was not aware.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Ok, well, they put Morgan in, how'd that work out? If you benched every guy that didn't play well, you'd have Graham & Moore running a 2 man offense.

Ingram did nothing. PT had 2 good plays. Bench the entire oline. Drew threw 2 INTs & took 2 sacks, so you want to put Daniels in??

Colston had a bad game. It happens. You don't go around benching your best because they aren't having a great day.

Re: Marques Colston
 

Colston always fumbles. He did against the Packers and also the lions in the playoffs last year for sure. and he has had so many fumbles over his career, I have lost count. Colston is not consistent, never has been. He has some talent, but Drew makes him look a lot better than he really is. When we HAVE to have a big play, you can count on Marques to drop it or fumble it.

Re: Marques Colston
 

I can't help it, if you are complaining about the team, but don't know which players are injured or not. It's called an INJURY REPORT, it is required by the league, every team does them, and it comes out officially on the Friday before EVERY game. They have been doing them in the NFL since at least the 1960s. You should check them out sometime, you might learn something.

Re: Marques Colston
 

SMH at this post. You make Colston sound like he's Reggie Bush. Colston always has one of those bad games once a year. He has been one the most consistent Wr's along with Lance Moore. If I remember he has converted the most 3rd downs of any WR in the league. Go back and watch games from last season and see how dude was money.

Re: Marques Colston
 

OK you are right. I am sorry I am so inferior to your vast knowledge of the game and it's workings. You are just mr. wonderful. Must be nice to be you huh? To be able to sit there and not have a care in the world if your home team plays well or not. Must be nice to not care. Not care that since the offseason began we as fans have taken more sh!t from every angle possible than the history of the NFL. Must be nice not to put so much care into your team. The same team that talks about how much they play for the fans. That after every natural disaster they have come out strong for there fans and they will do it again. Must be nice not to care that the thought of your team coming out flat after there name has been dragged through the mud every which way possible but couldn't do what they have been known for doing.

I apoligize that I had my hopes up for a victory. I apologize that I thought the team had a chip on there shoulder and had something to prove. I bought into it. This game was a trend setter. This was a must win to set the tone. All progress that we thought the defense made was non existent.

So again, must be nice to be you. To just sit back and criticize other people for maybe being a little to emotional because you such a cool guy. One day I hope I am as cool as you.

Re: Marques Colston
 

damn

Re: Marques Colston
 

Anybody notice how all the guys who we re-upped with big money were not their normal selves today?

Re: Marques Colston
 

Meh.

One bad game does not a season make.

We started off last year 0-1 also.

Re: Marques Colston
 

No; there was the occasional play like that now and then, but I find it's happening more frequently per game now...

And I'm not beating him down for the loss; it's an observation that is there...
