Bedlam In The Beltway
November 17th, 2014
Yes, Joe knows this is a Bucs site. But Joe thought he would give you a taste of what it is like to be a Redskins fan in the Beltway today. In short, there is unrest in the streets.
Redskins fans are in full-blown meltdown mode after losing to the previously bungling Bucs, the now 2-8 Bucs who got their second win yesterday by clobbering the Redskins at FedEx Field.
In this CSN Washington video, former Redskins return man Brian Mitchell took off the gloves and unloaded on his former team like you won’t believe. It was beautiful. And all because the Bucs beat the Redskins.
Enjoy.

Joe I live here in DC and there were people throwing RGIII jersey’s to the ground and stomping on them. There having debates about starting Colt the rest of the season! IT’S GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 17th, 2014 at 2:16 pm
Applause !!!! why do we never hear that fro OU local media and former players….?????????
November 17th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
LOL!

If your Nfl team gets beat by the bucs, then coaches get fired, Gm’s start looking for other jobs, players will question themselves.
To get beat by the train wreck that is the bucs, is the ultimate team insult in the nfl!

RGlll hurtin. Cam hurtin. Vick hurtin most of his career. What’s that say about running QB,s?
November 17th, 2014 at 2:24 pm
He’s hurting because he has no offensive line. Saw a stat last week where in last three years, Newton has been hit 548 times. Next quarterback (can’t remember) was hit 278 times.

Telling you, that stadium yesterday was a weird experience. Everyone was just trudging in to the stadium like it was a funeral. No excitement, no optimism. The opening interception, even before the game really got going, got very little response from the crowd. They were not surprised at all and the boos were coming down hard before the first quarter was even over. It got way worse than that until people just left. I felt like i was at Ray Jay

We might have lost had Colt McCoy played yesterday. That tells you all you need to know about the descent into awful RGIII is on. Redskins definitely have a much higher than anticipated odds of drafting a QB than anyone could have thought. Jameis to DC would be incredible, from one enabler (Jimbo) to another (Snyder) would be a debacle.
November 17th, 2014 at 2:28 pm
@Joe – that’s why the logic of drafting a scrambling QB as a remedy for a porous OL is faulty. The OL needs to be addressed before you bring in that shiny new QB because they get hurt otherwise and they’re not developing that way

@ Patrick in VA
Told you I had a hunch we would win that game!!!!
I am in trouble though…..one of my Dr.s is a huge Steeler fan & the other is a Redskin fan…….I’ll add Dr.s to the list of people to be kind to…..like persons that serve you food or work on your car…..
See…”meaningless” game fans…..this meant something to the Redskins….
You “tank” for draft pick crowd lost yesterday……tanking is for losers!!!
November 17th, 2014 at 2:38 pm
First Pittsburgh, now DC. It’s hysterical hearing these fan bases freak out over a loss to the Bucs! Funny, I didn’t hear any comments about the half-empty stadium like we usually get. My favorite shot of the day: Bucs fans in Sapp #99 and Cadillac Williams #24 jerseys celebrating a Mike Evans TD!
November 17th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
@TBBF – I work among a group of redskins and I don’t even want to rub it in. I almost feel like I need to apologize to them. They seem like a bunch of whipped dogs.
November 17th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
@ Joe can you give context to that stat your dropped about Cam Newton? Did all those hits take place behind the line of scrimmage? I think it’s worth noting their team’s win percentage is over 70% when Cam Newton runs more than 10 times and only 30%when he has less than 10 attempts in a game.. With stat in mind it’s its logical that he’d take many more hits!

Less than two years ago, the Washington Redskins made a franchise-changing deal when they traded with the St. Louis Rams to get the second-overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, selecting Robert Griffin III. To get that pick, the Rams received three first-round picks and a second rounder.
Did anybody see that trade as working out in any fashion other than it has? I’m no RGIII hater but that was an absurd trade. Even if RGIII turns out to be another Russell Wilson and takes the Skins to the SB it was a BAD trade.
I just hope we don’t do something as stupid just to get Jameis!
For a closer look at the results of that trade in real terms…

Lol
November 17th, 2014 at 2:43 pm
BTW The RGIII damage is over yet.
2014 First-Round Pick
The Rams greatest haul in the deal could come in the next draft, as they will receive the Redskins’ first-round pick this year, which as of right now, stands as the second-overall pick.

I posted this yesterday, but I was at the game (sorry you guys haven’t seen the Bucs win in person, it was nice) and the fans were pissed. They were chanting for Mcoy to come in to the game. The fans were calling for Gruden to be fired. They were booing their team when they came off the field. It was pretty bad.
November 17th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
Music to my ears. I was at this game guys, I was also at the Baltimore bucs game. The redskins were more pissed off than we were when Baltimore came to town!
November 17th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
@SPBF – I think that article is a little dated. The draft pick to come that they referenced was this most recent draft so the skins have their pick this year.
That said, the skins definitely not only misevaluated the talent in RGIII but gave up way, way too much to get him
November 17th, 2014 at 2:51 pm
Mike Shanahan ran RGIII into the ground and literally ruined Griffin and in turn, the franchise.
November 17th, 2014 at 2:56 pm
ahh… that was satisfying. like taking a leak you’ve been holding for an hour.
GO BUCS!
November 17th, 2014 at 3:04 pm
I drove down from NJ to DC to go to the game yesterday, It was as glorious of a moment leaving that stadium as I’ve ever experienced as a victorious visitor in someone elses house.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:05 pm
Read today’s Washington Post. Its almost like reading the Tampa Trib on a Monday. I feel sorry for the fans (well – almost) because I know what its like.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:19 pm
And i know many wont (want) believe:
Just like that guy said (and you can say the same about the bucs): there are many factors.
management: getting wrong players
Players: being bad
Coaches: doing wrong, shiddy playcalling, weak playdesing etc.
Who in his right mind lets a LB cover an NFL WR?
Who WITH THE RIGHT INTENTIONS would let a DLiner let cover a shady RB man to man???
See: the redskins playdesing on offense was horrible. IF you truly wanna win, and you got a RGIII type – you don´t use the Sullyvan offense from Tampa a year ago…..
If you got Payton Manning you wouldn´t try to force him playing QB-Option plays all days, would you?!
AND JAY GRUDEN HASN`t BECOME A SHIDDY PLAYCALLER JUST LIKE THAT..
problem is: THE NFL IS CHEAP SOAP OPERA MAKING BIG PROFIT….
November 17th, 2014 at 3:20 pm
ha ha. THat is classic. Nice outburst mitchell.
They did some very Buc-like things yesterday. Getting that muffed fumble, then a first and goal, and then missing the field goal. How buc of them.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:22 pm
I live in Richmond Va, They’ve been done with RG3. They’ve been a joke I’m just glad we beat them so that will shut them the hell up all summer when referring to my bucs. Now we can get to the draft since we got that out the way.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:25 pm
I can’tview the link but that just who B. Mitch is. The clinton portis vs brian mitchell feud is epic and hilarious lolol. You’ll might wanna look into that
November 17th, 2014 at 3:30 pm
He’s hurting because he has no offensive line. Saw a stat last week where in last three years, Newton has been hit 548 times. Next quarterback (can’t remember) was hit 278 times.
—————
That’s because he doesn’t know how to throw the ball away. Like RG3. Matt Ryan’s offensive line is horrible too. He’s not getting sacked like that.
Cam Newton is overrated and overhyped. Period.
What’s his record as a starter? That’s all you need to know. You are what your record says.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
I live in Southern MD and sat in my car during my lunch break, just to hear the local sports radio. Apparently RGIII and Jay Gruden should never step on the field again. I enjoyed every minute of it.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:25 pm
No clue.
November 17th, 2014 at 4:46 pm
It looks like Bruce Allen has completely wrecked 3 franchises. How this guy is still employed defies logic.
November 17th, 2014 at 5:55 pm
I was there yesterday as well. Left there feeling like we finally accomplished something. Where are my new found bucs fan who made the skins fan take a selfie with us after the game???
November 17th, 2014 at 6:25 pm
@stpete
The Redskins have 3 wins currently, how could they have the 2nd overall pick? It was a bad trade it looks like, at least they identified a need in a QB and went for it.
November 17th, 2014 at 6:31 pm
Redskins on NFL network this afternoon has been awesome. Robert throwing everyone under the bus. Saying good QB’s like Manning, Brady, Brees have bad games when the rest of the team is playing bad.
Jay Gruden said Robert was not even close to being good enough to what we expect from that QB position. He was taking 3 steps when he should’ve taken 5. Taking 1 step when he should’ve taken 3. Reading the wrong side of the field. AND he said he was fundamentally below average.
I started drinking eggnog today just because it felt like Christmas!!! The snow up here didn’t hurt either.

“Losing to the Bucs would be a disgrace.”
“I’ve got nothing to say.”
— New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning before and after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Buccaneers 1st Ever Win, 12/11/77
November 17th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
This is reminiscent of the of the 1977 season when New Orleans fired Hank Stram after we beat them, and the the next week, St. Louis fired Don Coryell after we beat them.
Is Jay Gruden next?
November 17th, 2014 at 8:25 pm
Living in the DC area today has been sweet nectar. I just can’t stand Skins Fama, so listening to the total implosion and loss of control by the fanbase has made this win 10 times better than normal. Hail to the Redskins.
November 17th, 2014 at 10:56 pm
Is that a picture of Rostaman, Buddaboy or one of the many other supposed Buc fans that post out here. I bet it is.
Patrickbucs, remind me never to let you shop for my groceries. Just because I haven’t had steak in a year doesn’t mean I want to pay $50 a pound for it from Savealot.

Remember this little tidbit of info if the Bucs actually string together a couple more wins this season and move back a bit in the draft order. I think hte Skins gave all those picks up just to move from 6th to 2nd to grab RG3…. I am NOT saying the Bucs should Tank for Mariota or “Go winless for Winston” as I am with Booger McFarland in the debate whether the Bucs should tank down the stretch as hyped by The Fan’s Marc Ryan….. Bucs need a franchise qb but remember for every Andy Luck there is a Jamarcus Russell, Cryin’ Leaf, Tim Couch or RG3; there is no guarantee that Winston or Mariota will become a star…… Good debate over if winning a few games now is more important for the Bucs than insuring a top 2 or 3 pick in the draft….. Look at the turmoil the Skins are in now: wouldn’t they rather have all those draft picks back from the Lambs?????
