Panthers vs Skins - Gameday thread

Has the NFL figured our offense out? Does that explain the past two games?

More like they are beating themselves....

Penalties, drops, bad play calling, penalties. The last two games, Griffin didn't play mistake free today either. This was an across the board failure.

How often does a skins receiver make a play like SS catch. Logan Paulsen has the best hands on the team now....

Garçon is sorely missed on our offense because he is our #1 wr who can put fear in the defense.

Typical plays from a poorly coached team.

Was probably just trying a little too hard to block that punt. We were in a situation where we needed to block it... can't fault the player for trying too hard if that was the case.

Pretty much this. Offense is killing itself really. Penalties(13) killed us today, and going 3-15 didn't help either.

Shouldda tried the fake onside kick!

Something other than kicking it directly to the other team lol... i wish they didnt take that timeout and saved it :-( ... not much diff. In time wen we only had 18 secs left to begin with

Just got back from taking my kids to the fair. Haven't even gone to ESPN.com, but looking at the posts, Shanahan is getting HIS blame passed on down the line to Haslett and Danny Smith. Nothing changed since last week, so I guess we lost. Right? Lost to a 1-6 team? Just wondering how long its gonna take for people around here to realize what 4 people on this site have been wondering for a long time. Why in the hell do you all still believe Shanahan is not to blame?????

Another way to look at it even. If Mike S. is such an elite coach, taking into account ALL of his excellent creme de la creme successes in the ultra powerful early-mid 2000's AFC West, why is it taking so long for him to build even what RESEMBLES a contender? Remember what Rave said, the team he inherited was not that bad talent wise. So what gives? Obviously, the team is being sabotaged from the inside, because Mike WILL build a winner. Its just not going to take about 3 MORE years, and not for RG3 to learn anything or build a rapport with anyone, but now the entire Defense (entire secondary, depth at EVERY position) and the OLine is in question, as is our awesome receiving corps. Its not Shanahans fault that he is absolutely leaning on two rooks that even playing at their all pro level cannot make up for the deficiencies all over this team. But we were close. Again, its not like we are getting blown out, right???? 21-13 is respectable. But its the injuries, right? Ever taken a look at the Panthers injuries on their defense?

Like GTripp said, the offense is moving backwards, there is a big chance that the offensive line has completely opverachieved this year due to a fast mobile quarterback. Other than TW, the rest are garbage. THE REST. none of the other 4 would even sniff a starting spot on a contending team. This team, franchise is still a mess. But the whole aura and attitude has changed at Redskins park? Alot of good that has done us. 3-7 with an all universe QB that cannot continue to bail our inneffective MESS of a coaching staff, on all 3 sides of the ball, out. I hope and pray this is Mr. "Got a job cause I coached Elway"s last year. But I think its gonna take another year of "didn't get blown out, we are close" to get it through peoples heads.

And for the record, if this team wasn't down on itself after the Gmen last week, entering a bye week after losing to a horrid Panthers team with half their defensive starters out and letting that stew is not going to do us any favors moving forward. Shanny might struggle to get to 6 wins this year.

At least we are younger, right?

/end rant

Defense are not really figuring us out. We are beating ourselves.

B Mitch is just unloading on this team on the post game show.... and deservedly so.
