Week 1 Positives and Negatives

There were 5 key plays that changed the game.

The blown coverage on the 76 yard TD and Rambo's poor angle

The blocked extra point by JJ Swatt

The block punt for 6 because of Helu's whiff

The 2 red zone fumbles one by Paul and if you look at the replay the center steps on RG3 foot that's why he falls I still don't understand why he's getting the blame for that one

Mostly our problem is blocking and turnovers

Who’s Afraid of Robert Griffin III? « (http://grantland.com/the-triangle/whos-afraid-of-robert-griffin-iii/)

"Griffin played solidly in the Redskins’ loss Sunday to the Texans"

Zero TDs, and he only turned over the ball once. Solid.


"The worst thing Robert Griffin can be accused of is sending subliminal jabs at Mike Shanahan (whose handling of what should have been his star pupil was embarrassing to watch)"

How about RG3 not wanting to run the system that got him ROY in 2012?


"Yes, many people in Washington cannot stand Robert Griffin because he risks injury too often, trying to pick up extra yardage. "

Missing open receivers? Risking injury by sliding comically?


"Like any abused and mentally fragile group of people, Washington fans are scared."

He misspelled "well-versed" above.


"Robert Griffin III is the first man to electrify this fan base in more than 20 years. "

So the author never saw Joe Gibbs, Clinton Portis, and Sean Taylor.

Guess the author never saw these guys actually win a playoff game. So much more wrong with that article..

I posted yesterday that I thought Cooley would give him(griff) a B grade for the game, meaning he played well. Cooley actually said today on 980 that he played very well.

I don't think Griffin played well, but he didn't play poorly either. Certainly not to the level of grief people are giving him. Blame Gruden for the short passing game, Griffin just did what he was asked to do within the confine of the game plan and what the Texans D was giving him.

I don't understand some fans. They want RG3 to get rid of the ball right away, yet they want deep passes. With our offensive lines, deep passes are out of the way question.

I thought yesterday was a solid effort, but it was a replay of several college games I had gone to, where the one team was dominant, but kept coughing up the ball in the red zone trying to pound it in. The turnovers killed us, but the execution for the most part was pretty good.

Robert was fine I thought. We really need to cut the crap and use our top picks for linemen. We have decent guys, but we still need an upgrade. Williams is getting long in the tooth.

Can't have a -2 to -3 turnover ratio in a game and expect to win, especially if you throw in a blocked punt for 6.

Williams is entering his 5th season and the prime of his career. He is the least of the OL's problems. I agree that the FO needs to draft more linemen, but hopefully Morgan Moses or Spencer Long develop into legit starters.

Lol, 26 years old, 5th year pro = long in the tooth.
