Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

Has it been confirmed Dan Snyder / Bruce Allen force Jay to play RG3?

My biggest issue with the team is the defense. When the defense plays well, we usually win. When the defense gives up 29 to the Vikings, we lose. How do we give us 29 to the Vikings?

RG3 has his issues, but every young QB does.

Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

Based on WillH's brilliant system, here's my breakdown of the remaining games.. What my heart wants (ie. RG3 starts to play lights out, Oline Long/Moses start & do well, Defense starts to show up, PThomas starts/does well, etc).. Completely making up our chance of winning these games:

Game...................Heart..............Brain
Tampa Bay.............90%...............65%
at San Francisco.....50%...............25%
at Indianapolis........50%...............10%
St. Louis.................70%...............40%
at the NY Giants......60%...............20%
Philadelphia.............50%...............10%
Dallas......................70%...............50%


Totalling it up:
Heart - we're going to win about 4-5 of next 7 games, record: 7-9 or 8-8
Brain - we're going to win about 2 out of next 7 games, record: 5-11


Doesn't quite matter since either way we miss the playoffs.. Unfortunately the better we do the lower the draft pick, and it would seem that's what we're playing for now...

Woohoo! It's Hanktime, baby!

On a completely unrelated note, I became a huge fan of Sean McVay today. I have no idea [URL="http://www.redskins.com/news-and-events/article-1/Redskins-Add-Hankerson-To-Active-Roster/14649f21-1a1e-4cab-b162-a24e8e95f092"]why[/URL], honest.

Donte Paige Moss, and I would take Demps and Pryor, if this was Madden

3.2, that is my guess

Thanks Ethat! It's just the only way I can make sense of my conflicted feelings about this team. It's either that or I acknowledge that the Redskins have me teetering on the edge of multiple personality disorder . . . Who said that? Me. Stop talking.

Also Lanier Coleman, Mo Hurt, Arrelious Benn, Tony Moeaki and Tim Hightower

Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

It bothers me that Gruden called the collapse of the defense against Minnesota a "collective" failure. That's because when everybody is to blame then supposedly nobody is to blame.

It bothers me even more that he went on to say that "no one coach" is to blame. I read this as an indirect defense of Haslett.

The way I see it, if the whole damn defense can't figure out their assignments, then there is indeed one coach to blame and that coach is the DC. If the defense continues to look clueless and the DC is not replaced, then there will be another coach to blame, the HC.

What is he supposed to do throw his DC under the bus? Even if it was primarily his fault they lost the game, you win as a team and you lose as a team. I think everyone in the world knows Haz is on his last leg. Gruden didnt need to say it, nor should he have.

As always (or usual) a good balanced writeup by Keim

Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

I want to see as many young guys on the field as possible.

Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

For myself, the best thing the Skins have going for them is that Gruden is truthful about how the team and each individual plays. With Shanahan you always got BS, but Gruden tells it like it is. With RGIII Gruden knows he won't win. The Skins would be better off with McCoy or Cousins starting. McCoy deserved to start the Vikings game, should have started, and maybe the team thought McCoy deserved to start the game too.

Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

The Skins drafted RGIII but I think they really got RGZero.

Re: Expectations for the rest of the season...
 

So now the Skins have to figure a way to draft a "Tom Brady" QB in the sixth round of the next draft.
