[quote=skinsfaninok;1034408]Huh?

Robert did get down and OOB.[/quote]At least a couple times in the second half, he was boxed in and stopped, but didn't slide or fall down. The *instant* he's downfield and stops his forward progress due to traffic in front of him, he should slide.

Im just guessing but i bet 1999 was the last time the skins scored 45 pts.

There was a game against detroit i remember - around 2007? I know we scored 40 something.
Edit: only scored 34. I guess it has become a fish story to me / lol

re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

Special teams is down right horrible. The defense at times seem to be improving and then at times looks worse. The only thing I know is that Robert Griffin III looks to be back. Jordan Reed is a beast. Roy Helu and Alfred Morris is a deadly combination. The offense will keep us in many games but the defense and special teams will burn us.

The last time we scored 45+ points was 2005 against the 49ers. We won, 52-17.

Tebow? Come on man.

We led the league in rushing last year. It's what we do best.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were just posting under the influence and just.....late for check-in at the Drunk Thread.

GMM.... really? Most of your posts make no sense.

Crazy win. Special teams is very bad.

He did and Brandon Lloyd went low on a tackle on him. The cartwheel game form Portis. He had 3 TDs in that game I believe. Just like Helu today.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

We won. It wasn't pretty. No need to bitch about firing people. My only complaint is Kyle needs to stop running RG3 so much. The kid is eventually going to get hurt again.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

[quote=HailGreen28;1034402]Agreed. Tebow at his best can't make every defender look slow the way Griffin ran today.

RG3's throwing still isn't back to where it was last season. What happened to all those practices he supposedly took part in this season?

That being said: OUR OFFENSE FROM LAST SEASON FINALLY SHOWED UP THIS YEAR!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HTTR[/quote]

RG3 wasn't perfect. But I really liked how he hung in there today. Today was his best game of the year.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

A wins a win. And I agree with other people here about Meriweather and our Special Teams.

What we need to do is cut Griffin and sign Caleb Hanie.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

Two things:

Why is Tim Tebow being mentioned in this thread?

I think 27 points wins the Denver game. I don't think Peyton will shred our D like folks are predicting.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

Honestly, I'm not hating on our defense like some are. We had breakdowns at key times, but otherwise I thought we looked EXCELLENT.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

Given the state of our secondary, didn't we all expect to be playing in a lot of high scoring games this year and hopefully winning them?

From this point of view, the team did what it was built to do: win a high scoring game. I'm gonna savor it.

Look, I've said crazy shit before. But Tebow > RG3 is fictional territory.

We win and score 45 and people r talking shit about Griffin.

I thought he was gonna choke after that INT but he turned in a hell of a game. Can't point fingers at him this game.

The defense and special teams on the other hand.......

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

I've watched football for a number of years and I'm still not sure what a pretty win is.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

Lol. People are still hating on Griffin after him and the rest of the offense carried us today? The defense played great when Cutler was in there and then let McCown become the next backup qb to look great against us when Cutler went down. Amazing.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

So is Shanny and the front office gonna address is special teams issue or bury their heads in the sand?

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

I recorded the game and just got finsihed watching it.Hard to get a good read on the game because Im fast forwarding a lot.RG3 looked pretty good from what I could tell,he had the 1 int,but for the most part his passes were pretty crisp and his accuracy looked a lot better than last week.Need to stop the dropped passes and I wish they'd mix Helu in the mix some more.Defense looked good early but fell apart after Cutler went out.I think we win by more if Cutler stays in,he was not on his game today,even when he wasnt pressured his passes were off.
Cant believe we gave up another td on special teams,unbelievable

He better do that with the defense too, how can a backup QB run like Steve Young all over the field and make plays? McCown hasn't done shit his whole career, today the skins D made him look like an all pro.

What are they going to do at this point? There's no special teams aces sitting on the street or some genius coach who can fix things overnight.

But last week the defense held Dallas to just over 200 yards. This is a flawed team. One week the offense might carry the team and vice versa. Remember, as up and down as the defense has been, they scored AGAIN today.

No need for anyone to hate on RG3 today. He made his share of mistakes but he sure made a ton of plays today. I just wish they would stop running him so much.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, inconsistency and lack of adjustment. After 4 years of this type of D, a change is needed. They have the talent, are healthier than last year and yet look worse. I know London is showing his age but others need to step up. Last year, Orakpo, Neild, Carriker were gone for the year after the second game. This year they have depth with Tapp, Brandon Jenkins, Meriweather is healthy (he's a liability), got better corners and S ( same as last year). It would be nice to get Tanard Jackson back to help in that area.

Things are not bad enough to fire anyone (yet). Players and coaches need to figure things out and play more consistent period.

First thing they need to do is add some speed at KR. Paul and Morgan struggle to get the ball past the 20 yard line.

We need to figure out if Chris Thompson can help us or not. he looked good in preseason but we gave up on him, not sure what Morgan brings to the table that Thompson doesn't. It's sad to think that we can't get a return past the 20.

Teams were a large contributor to the Dallas loss and good lord super close offsides penalty that could have lead to another loss after allowing another punt return TD...this is not "bad luck". Teams are aggressively coming after us on special teams out scheming and finding loop holes in coverage.

Its just really sad how bad we have been, so far looks like a bad hire from Shanny, this was a "his guy" hire. I would be looking around to do something or start spending serious time paying attention to teams.

You think this defense has top talent? I don't.

Re: Skins vs Bears postgame
 

The reason why the Special Teams sucks and the defense is inconsistent is because of poor tackling. You can fire the entire coaching staff, but until players get more consistent with the tackling, things are going to stay the same.
