Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)

Gano - leading the league in misses and missed 2 more today. God damn it, can we just get better here

Injuries - I hate this b*tch. im sure Silverback is out for the ****ing year.

i was real disappointed we drafted dallas startz instead of mason crosby. as much as someone could be disappointed their team didnt draft a kicker in the 6th round or whatever it was.

did it look like the boys interior rushers schemeatically went low to the side of the line trent was on to try and kinda cut down some of that line so their overloaded rushers on the outside of that side could have any easier corner to turn?

Yeah Brian hasn't had a good year IMO his worst as a pro idk I think he'd be a better 4-3 DE more like a Robert Mathis

Hall is what he is. Right? We've seen this from him since he's been here. He never plays bump and run. Always give a big cusion. He does that cause he can't cover.

I agree. They just need to stick Helu in there and quit all this nonsense with rotating backs.

i think he plays off to give him the chance to try and step up and jump a route . .

It did, im sure that's a strategy for them to get a man up to block the kick. But I mean they didnt need all that effort, its Gano, a guaranteed miss.

Orakpo is unfortunately quite overrated around the league, but whatever..

Impressed with Riley again, Gomes was a guy who I didn't even know existed on draft day and had a respectable debut.

Grossman was a trooper today, I was very very impressed with him all game long. This type of play every week and we're contenders.

I got labeled a D. Hall hater a year ago for saying he wasn't that good, and even went on to point out the stats. There are times when D. Hall plays tight coverage on the guy like he was his second shadow or something, and then turns around and gives up a 3 and 15 play. It's frustrating because the guy could be so much more, but plays with little discipline.


I think this sums up my feelings for the whole team, especially the defense. I really feel it falls on the coaching staff to make sure that these inconsistencies.

Where are all of the Gano supporters???? The guy is a loser. Always has been

it looked like our guys were engaged in contact up high then had boys players diving at their knees, dont wanna sound like a whiny bitch who cries foul but i think the refs could have called 2-3 chop clocks there. it looked pretty obvious, hope the media does some follow up questions

edit - saw a replay on nfl dot com. doesnt look nefarious from their endzone angle.

Haslett and the DBs coach need to fix the secondary. Both of our starting corners gave up key plays and TDs (actually I think Wilson gave up both TDs). We need a young FS with good covering skills, and I guess Landry will be back next season but he needs to be healthy

No DB coach is going to fix Hall (can't teach an old dog new tricks), Wilson is average at best. This team badly needs to draft a cover corner, that why I said QB, CB, OL on the draft, also look for another CB in FA and boot Hall. Please don't sign Finnegan, he's a headcase.

Mike Shannahan - for not going for the 2 point conversion. A 3-6 team should take that opportunity.

Mike Shannahan - for having trust in Gano to make any field goal that is important (I'm an FSU fan, so both games my teams lost this week were because FSU kickers have no testicular fortitude)

Gano - for having no guts, make the damn kick. FML!
