Heartbreak City: Redskins-Saints Postgame Thread

Fun fact from Reddit: With today's loss, this marks the 26th consecutive year the Redskins won't win at least 11 games. Every other team in the NFL has done it at least once.

Jay called in a play for the bubble screen. Kirk checked to crowder for a bubble screen, and Crowder didn't get the check. He didn't know the play call. Kirk threw to where Crowder should have been.

Wrong.

From KC post game interview:

"We had a run play called, and based on the defensive look they were giving, it was gonna be a tough run to get, and we were probably gonna get stuffed and have to clock it and hope for the best for the field goal,"



"I looked over to the sideline out of the corner of my eye and saw the coaches saying, 'Throw it,' and they wanted, potentially, an audible, get to an actual pass play," he continued. "I thought they were saying if you just throw it by Jamison [Crowder], in the general area of Jamison, there's an eligible [receiver] in the area and there's no penalty."

Lets be clear on this, KC did not call an audible.
He did not run the play that was called which was a run.
He did not audible to a pass which he said he thought that's what the coaches wanted.
He chose option C and threw the ball on a play when his 10 teammates are expecting a run.
This is a mental fuckup on the level of Chris Webber and Leon Lett.

I said as interim. Of course he is not the long term answer.If he can't handle the 2minute defense he shouldn't be given even an interim job.

What I really want to see is if Gruden can put away any of these teams coming up. We should beat all of them by comfortable margins.

Losing, even in the most gut wrenching fashion to the one of the top 3 teams in the league just isn't worth throwing out the head coach.

I put equal blame on Kirk and the staff for the miscommunication. You should know on the road with a loud crowd that speaking clearly is gonna be hard. Have a backup plan or signal so you don't need words.

Wrong.

Are you really going to come on here and blame this game on Cousins? I just can't get over that. He may or may not have screwed up that play but so fucking what? He dropped numerous dimes all day, the o gave that high school defense a 15 point lead w/ like 5:00 to play. I don't give a damn what happened on that play, it should have never even come down to that if we have someone that could make a stop.

"I thought they were saying if you just throw it by Jamison [Crowder], in the general area of Jamison, there's an eligible [receiver] in the area and there's no penalty."

Well what the fuck didn't you throw it near him for? You threw it towards no one. Ugh.

Because he executed it like a timing play. He didn't look over there, just threw the ball expecting a receiver to be near. Those plays exist.

Bad call by Kirk and the coaching staff imo, but the game never should've come to that. That's on the d.
