Post game and what needs to be done going forward.

They sky isn't falling just yet, but it's hanging low. The Saints game is going to be a tough one. (Underestimating comment of the year!) I had figured we'd win one of these two games (Vikings, Saints) and go into the Thanksgiving game against the Giants at 5-5. But now, very likely heading into Thanksgiving at 4-6 the way the Saints are playing. Then again, none of us saw the Redskins beating the Seahawks in Seattle, with all of our guys hurt, so I'm sticking with the "Any Given Sunday" mantra.

Even if we're 4-6 after next weekend, we're staring down a very light schedule. The Cowboys will be without Elliot, and we saw what happens when they don't have Zeke in there. We have the Giants twice, the Broncos, the Cardinals, Chargers, and Falcons. Am I missing anybody? If any team that is 4-6 by the end of next week has a chance to end at 10-6, it's these Redskins. All, very winnable games. Sure, likely scenario is they go 8-8, which honestly, will probably wind up being a pretty good achievement considering the injuries to all of our key players and our brutal first half schedule.

It was a classic let down game and let’s face it the Vikings are solid. On to New Orleans, hope we can get healthier that’s the big key.

Vikings looked every bit of a 6-2 team coming off a bye.

Tip the cap to Case Keenum and the offense for being able to run and execute a playbook.

What needs to be done?

Figure out how to stop the Saints running attack and take your chances with the secondary vs Drew Brees.

Or injure Drew Brees.

Just hyper focus on next week. Win in the Superdome and that door stays cracked open.

Prior to yesterday, I would have said, "Bring on the Saints!", but KEENUM looked like Brees yesterday. Will we get Matt Ionniinininininnidis back?

Yup. Depth sucks, and we're really missing Ionnaidis and Allen. I kinda expect our pass rush to suck for the rest of the year. Rushing 4 used to work early on but with our injuries I think Manusky needs to start getting more creative with his blitzes because right now there's no rush.

we've had the most unimagined, vanilla, unispired and retarded defense for over 10 years no matter who the coordinator - it's fucking brutal to watch every week. I dont think we have run a stunt, or delayed blitz or anything creative one time ALL SEASON - IT MAKES ME FUCKIN WANNA VOMIT.

PLAYCALLING IS GARBAGE BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL, IF COUSINS MAKES A FEW OF THOSE THROWS ON TARGET IT MIGHT MEAN 7 NOT 3 - whats with kicking the fg on the second trip downfield at the end of the game but not the first? - I understand 4th and 25 is hard... but if your gonna take points just KEEP taking points... or i was just drunk and gruden made the right call, but, i doubt it.

I see 2-5 being the worst record possible. We split with the Giants, and beat Denver.
I see 6-1 being the best. We lose next week than win out and squeak in to the wildcard spot. If we somehow win next week than the playoffs is a real possibility.

The "worst play(s) of the game" were the two dumb ass back-to-back run calls when we still had an opportunity to get back in the game.

One of 'em was a run up the gut by Thompson on 3rd and 1, and then a run on the outside on 4th and 1. Why not throw the ball, as we was having success?

Those 2 were also terrible. Stong argument for that to be the worst play(s) as well.
