Year in Review 2013
 

Thoughts on overall 2013 Season for Washington Redskins. Anything to individual players, overall talent, team performance, coaching, management or anything that had to do with the season as a whole.

Record: 3-13

Point Differential: -144

Ended Season on 8 game losing streak.

LT Trent Williams named to Pro Bowl

WR Pierre Garcon broke franchise record for receptions.

Here's my year end review (also apologies for starting this thread on a negative note):

Just so I'm not totally negative, congrats to Pierre "not a true #1" Garcon on setting the franchise record for receptions in a season, and for also becoming the second player in NFL history to catch at least 5 passes in every game in a season, but at the same time I'd trade that record in a heartbeat for a better season. Nobody's going to remember it over the 3-13 record or the 8 game losing streak to end the year.

Garbage year , worst I've ever seen as a skins fan and that's sayin something

Re: Year in Review 2013
 

Skins regressed and sucked big time. SHANARAT gets canned.

Thanks Obama!

I really like what I saw from Amerson this year, think we found a solid starter in the secondary.

My biggest disappointments was

1) Ive never witnessed Special team so bad, coverage wise a debacle. Never found a KR/PR
2) Oline took a major step back
3) Never could establish a #2 WR
4) RG3 injury, he wasnt ready to start the season, should have sat til the bye.
5) Kerrigen didnt take that next step I expected with Rak on the other side

I expected the secondary to struggle, It did. I expected London to regress, he did. So my expectations were met, cant really be disappointed in those 2 cases.

Griff was the MVP last yr because he obviously carried the team

Re: Year in Review 2013
 

On hindsight predictable regression in the face of predictably retarded expectations after a overachieving fluke playoff run.

Ill say this, yes really bad year, but I still have hope with some young talent in key area on the team, clear cap space, and the organization is not really in any horrible contracts.

I have hope now. After the last Zorn year, I had no hope. The position of the organization was much worse.

Re: Year in Review 2013
 

Sadly, for me it was more of the same we've seen even since Gibbs came back.

1) Boring games due to getting stopped a ton on third down and constantly giving up third down (we HAD to have the best 1st and 2nd down defense in the league)

2) Making someone famous. Who was that Giant's WR again today?

3) Breaking streaks for the worse (with the exception of Garcon's which was awesome). If anyone hadn't caught a touchdown, hadn't done ________, we were the sure-fire cure.

I REALLY, REALLY don't want to think that last year was a fluke, and I don't believe it is, but damn, this was the worst team I think I've seen us field in my years as a Skins fan. Worst part is: it was essentially the same team that won the NFCE last year.

The silver lining is that we'll have plenty of money to spend, HOPEFULLY a new legit staff, and RG3 healthy during the offseason. I think the defense can at least be respectable by extending Orakpo and by picking up a few pieces in FA and the draft. I do still maintain we have some great building blocks, but we need a few more pieces and someone to not force those square pegs into round holes.

Re: Year in Review 2013
 

Terrible season, and good riddance to all the staff. Special Teams deserves to be thrown under the short bus many times over. Can't believe how many pathetic punt plays, and returns we witnessed. Forbaith did seem to recover, but we really just need to bite the bullet and go with two kickers if he is our FG kicker.

Defense, as has been the story forever, even when we had "top ranked" defenses, can't hold leads, and as the year went on they made fewer big plays, maybe because the offense couldn't capitalize very often.

Offense, again, more of the same. They would show something, but I don't think this team ever put 1 whole game together, this entire season. Which brings us back to...

Goodbye coaching staff. Go your merry ways, and please don't look back.

Re: Year in Review 2013
 

Rebuild the coaching staff. Switch back to the 4-3 defense. Draft o linemen. Re-sign D Hall. Have a full off season with your #1 qb.

Why would they say that? Shit on a shingle is delicious.
