Bittersweet post game thread.

One non-call I'm disappointed in was Mitchell's PI on Vernon Davis on that big hit he took. I freezed the frame and you can clearly see Mitchell lay the wood right before the ball got there. It's a crappy shot but you can still tell:

Did that lose us the game? No, but it didn't help. Yeah if Doctson catches that ball all is forgiven. TBH I'm more concerned with the L we took in the injury column. On the bright side this bye week came just at the right time.

Edit: Matty did you disable images or something?

Great effort, but how could the defensive game plan not emphasize keeping Smith in the pocket. F#%King bad angles all night long.

It was clear the defensive edges were keyed not to let Hunt bounce out. That's not really that surprising is it? If you are letting Smith or Hunt get a downfield lane, which would you be more worried about?

We were pretty awful in the red zone in the previous year, so that to me remains the same.

Totally agree, just saying the issue remains. My hop was the height of JD and Pryor was going to cure those ills.Not so much so far.

I didn't know anything about Kareem Hunt besides the fact that he racked up yards in the first few games of the season. I figured he would be a speed type back, had no idea he was quite the banger. He looked like what we expect Samaje Perrine to look like.

I know folks are sick of WR talk but that drop by Doctson was literally a team and player altering moment, assuming defense held on. Imagine if that was the winning catch, super frustrating.

I was concerned that Kelley was banged up and that Brown was inactive. Dumb move. That left Perine (inconsistent) and CT (not an every down back) as our only options and time of possession went out the window. Not being able to run and sustain drives kept our D on the field too long, as did dumb penalties and a few terrible calls. Very frustrating.

On to Landover!

I think we have seen baby step progress from both receivers. Had Doctson held onto that it would be a far different discussion right now. He didn't so there is frustration. A few more games and I think both Doctson and Pryor will be making their presence known.

All that said, it is clear that Crowder was by far the biggest beneficiary of DJax and Garcon, and he needs to make himself a bigger factor as Pryor and Doctson start making deep catches.

Preston Smith doesn't line up offsides and Doctson makes that catch the Chiefs get the ball back on their final possession down 24-16. Whole new ball game at that point.

In general, and specifically against other good teams, the game is won or lost on a couple plays.

I thought the neutral zone call on Smith near the goal line was total BS.

Fuckin cheaters man.
