Heartbreak City: Redskins-Saints Postgame Thread

I totally agree. The Skins have scored plenty of points the last 2 weeks to have won but the defense cant stop anyone in crunch time.

I do think this team is very close to being very good and the dumbest thing the organization could do is a major overhaul of coaching and players. That said this organization is always doing dumb things so I fully expect the HC and Cousins to be gone and another rebuild to begin.

This would be a terrible move...I think we are close and I really hope no drastic moves are made outside of firing Bruce Allen, which I would totally be in favor of.

Signing Cousins and keeping him with Jay is the best path forward.

I wish I liked something else more than sports. Between Thunder blowing a 23 point lead Friday night and the Redskins epic fail today, this weekend fucking sucked. Glad it's Monday.

I hear you. I work from home and have had a miserable week. Was going to finally take an afternoon off and watch the Redskins and Nascar. I almost wish they had got blown out, to play so well for 54 minutes and have an epic collapse the last 6 and OT is the ultimate letdown. At least my girlfriend had went home and the nearest neighbor is almost 1/2 mile away so I could vocalize my displeasure without looking like a raving madman. I think I invented some new cuss words and may have scared the cat.

If Gruden called a QB sneak there is a 99% chance we're all having a completely different conversation. But once again he failed. Hell I would have tried a QB sneak on 4th down too if needed knowing how Manusky is just as incompetent as he is. Our HC, OC, and DC all suck.

I dont blame Gruden for not wanting to run behind Nysehke/Roullier/Scerff in that situation. We had passed the ball on 4th-n-short before.

Our HC, OC, DC (in fairness) only sucked for the last 6 mins of the second half. Before that, they we 15 up on a 7-2 home team. Having Spaight/Hall up the middle defense was a huge weak spot and Payton exploited it and we didnt cover it up.

Watching it live, I thought it was intentional grounding .. but seeing this, clearly he is in no "imminent loss of yards".

Brutal call. Shouldnt have let the game get to that point.

Thanks NFL, this makes it ALLLL better -

Thanks NFL. At least they say they’re sorry after they give it to you raw dog style.

Unfortunately, this is the drastic move that is least unlikely to happen. Looking at the big picture, I can't bring myself to believe that the current FO can continue the path that Scot put us on. Smithers is an empty suit and Doug Williams is a figurehead.

I agree.

Coaching is a major issue. Gruden didn't learn A FUCKING THING from the 9ers game...... Just get a first fucking down you douchebag!!!!!! - He's fucking fired for a repeat gutless spineless failed attempt to close a fucking game. Gone.

Had that fucking idiot Vernon Davis caught that pass, this wouldn't even have been an issue. Two HUGE drops from VD. Need more consistency. Does no good if you make a play and then fuck up 3.

I think his 25-31-1 record with the Skins speaks for itself. Also during his tenure injuries seem to be higher than league average. I think that could be more than bad luck. Could the training staff be the issue? Team doctors? Players having too much contact in practice or too little? I think the injuries are more than just coincidence. Fans that say the Redskins are on the right path with the Gruden-Cousins combo probably don't set the bar very high.
