Re: 2nd half concerns
 

Turnovers....and of course stupid penalities....if we avoid both, we'll win out.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

Turnovers. Without them these games would be far more inbalanced.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

My vote goes for turnovers. We got lucky against Philly that we recovered the two fumbles if not we probably would have lost the game. In our other losses we have had turnover problems and they probably cost us atleast one win. If we keep turning the ball over it is going to cost us a couple more games knocking us out of the playoffs.

The defensive breakdowns were prevalent in our three losses. Though no one likes turnovers, we gave up huge plays that lost the Denver and KC games, and we never got hold of the Giants in the Meadowlands.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

The turnover situation can be easly fixed, it is a mental problem, a lack of consentration. On the other hand the redskins D especially the D-line has been exposed, and if the problem is not rectified, then teams will continue to exploit the run D for big gains, forcing our O to play catch up, which we have had to do for most of the season.

Turnovers

Turnovers-keeping our O on the field is our Best D

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

Turnovers, thank God we got some lucky bounces last game.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

1. Antonio Pierce and the Giants - when we play them, we need to adjust the entire o and d system because of Pierce's extensive knowledge of the redskins.
2. Big plays given up on D.
3. Need the oline to be more physical in the running game.
4. Need another receiver to step up (other than moss or an h-back)

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

Running game. We need to be able to convert those 3rd and shorts without dropping back to pass. I would love to see Portis getting 25 - 30 touches a game, and averaging at least 100 yds. It would help out the passing game, and keep the defense rested.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

Turnovers is the biggest concern, but in a close second i would say big plays given up by our defense.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

Other - injuries.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

I think its the tuff division. All the problems with the D-line, turnovers, O-line whatever, were 5-3 with those problems. In most years we'd be on track to win the division or be looking real good for playoffs. Because NFC East is so strong we could go either way very easily.

Re: 2nd half concerns
 

If this team does not figure out how to run the ball effectively teams will figure out to to shut down moss and then the only scoring threat the team has will be gone.
