[quote=Gary84Clark;1085143]“We had plenty of chances offensively to do something: We threw a pick, we had the ball at the 40-yard line down three with four chances to get 10 yards and we couldn’t do that,” Gruden said. “Defensively, we missed some assignments again and gave up big plays, and special teams.

As painful as it was to lose in the manner that we did. This did make my day!

We seriously need a kicker who can put the ball in the back of the end zone on kickoffs. If Forbath is going to be getting XPs blocked, and missing go-ahead 33 yard FGs in the 4th quarter, I'd like to see what Hocker could do in a real game, given the chance.

Ha. Don't get me wrong, I like winning. But, I'd much rather see a game like today where the skins look like a professional team than the Houston game where it looked horrible.

Re: Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game
 

My notes on today's game:

1. ST lost this game, and Kai gots to go!
2. Cousins played a hell of a game (not looking good for team RG3), but he choked. He did, he had the win in his hands and he couldn't deliver. Sorry team KC, but until he wins a comeback, this will be hanging over his head.
3. Why couldn't we get a sack? Was last week a mirage? Were their receivers just getting open too quickly? Is Foles Jake the Snake incarnate?
4. Perry Reily needs to work on coverage, badly!
5. Did Merriweather even play today?
6. I was boosted for DJax and his F U touchdown!
7. Redskins are starting to look like a contender, if they could just get out of there own way.
8. I can't wait for South Park, sh#% looks funny as hell!
9. We want NY!
Edit: 10. Cage Match: Saden vs. Gary84Clark, two crazies go in, one comes out! I'm taking bets.

For the record, I'm team Redskins, I don't care who wins the starting QB job in the long run as long as winning games comes first! Bruce and Jay are gonna have one hell of a decision to make in a few weeks, and however this plays out it will be the defining decision of this Front Office.

I gotta say, when we got the ball back in great field position I thought that we were going to win. I was secretly hoping they would put Redd and his fresh legs in and let him steal the win, but what ever the case the fact that we couldn't get a first down at that point was purely pathetic.

After last weeks game and specially with Helu banged up (that was reported last week) I was expecting to see more Grant and Helu. I love the way those 2 play, Grant looks like he's been around for a few years, runs great routes and is smart. Redd would have been great to use today since Morris was getting pounded and would have spelled him without missing a beat.

Last week Roberts and Grant made some big plays, I have faith in them regardless of rookie status.

Re: Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game
 

I am adjusting my fandom. We didn't win but we did good. So much better than before. Who needs a win as long as the stat sheet looks good.

Dont know how we're going to do with out DHALL honestly

Breeland will do fine. We should stay close in games now.

I like to think we're capable of beating the Giants, but if Hall, Hatcher, and Reed are all out, our chances get a lot slimmer. Hopefully we get good news on those guys this week. On that note, having another game so quick really sucks. On the bright side, I guess, we'll have a long week to get healthy and prepare for the toughest game of the year.

It's gonna hurt having Hall out however, I AM excited to see more Breeland. The dude is a gamer. Forced fumble today and nearly a pick. He makes plays and once he has some real live games under his belt I could see him panning out nicely.

I said this in the offseason and I stand by it, Amerson and Breeland are the new 1 & 2 Corners for us in the future. Lets see how they play together.

Now if we could only get those Safety positions shored up....

Re: Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game
 

We lost DHall in that game....

Thats worse than losing Griffin because we have nobody to replace him
And get a surprise pick 6 or multiple pick game. Amerson and breeland are capable and ready to step up but hall shadows the opposing one probally my fav player we got this sucks.

Re: Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game
 

Tracy porter??? How does he go from being a #1 in oak last year being a tackle machine not too much blown coverage few nice outings to not being able to get snaps over biggers?

Re: Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game
 

Like my prediction stated, the O was good the D not so much. If this team is going to have to score close to 40 points each week to squeak out wins then its going to be a long season.
