Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread

Anyone know what set off the skirmish at the beginning of the game between Norman and Brutton?

Where do I start? First off welcome back Drave! Second off, where the eff is our effing post game thread? Buncha slackers 'round here, I say. I should call you fellows the Washington Redskins! har har har. But really, who am I to talk shit considering I have had the luxury of not watching the game yet, thanks to my new 2pm to 1030 Mon-Fri work schedule. Seems like I didn't miss much. I hope this is yet another case of TWP overreacting again, but I checked the order of the scoring and if it's as bad as it looks, maybe we should settle in for another looooong season. Anyways, it feels weird being the only semi-cheery fellow right now, so deuces until I go watch this game so I can also wallow in misery.

I really just want to play good teams and win the running game battle. We took a shelling tonight there.

We still have a lot of work on improving the front 7 on D and a couple spots on the OL. Looks like the running game is going to be a trouble spot again all season on both sides.

At least this famous fan was pimping in his badass suit:

We need a smack thread cause I have a lot of smack for that piece of shit that they laid.

At least you replace it with length and girth, sounds perverted.

As bad as Knighton is they may want to resign him on the cheap. He's probably eating himself to death right now, but we just don't have any presence inside at all.

Maybe Nix is better than Knighton? At least he's younger, weighs 332lb and has a nickname, "Irish Chocolate".

Positives:

We still have 15 more games.

Negatives:

No running game
No stopping the run
No stopping the pass
No pass rush
Bad QB play
Tons of penalties
Bad coaching on offense and defense

I know our defensive line is average, at best, but could Joe Barry be any less creative than a 90+ year old couple having sex. Not only was he blah, but he was doing things tonight which seemed to lack football nuances, IMO (ie, not allowing Norman to follow Brown in certain situations, staying in a soft zone when Roethlisberger was smoking it like a cigar, not blitzing enough to mask D-line weaknesses, taking away runs on the edge).

Barry showed no ability to put players in the right position for success. A long, long way to go for this season, and I still feel we'll be able to win this division. But if tonight's showing was a sample what we'll see from this defense throughout the duration, then cronyism could doom Gruden.

I agree with this whole post. Based on this game, its hard to have any faith in our defensive calls. Everything Pittsburgh did worked. Even the couple stops they got could have been 1st downs with better passes. Watching a 33 year old RB torch our defense was sad!
