Time for the Jets

[skinsfan242]

Ok the game was embarrassing! We got beat every which way possible, the 2 yard passes on 4th and 4 are ridiculous. But it is only one loss to a team that is clearly better than everyone else. I wish we made some adjustments but you can't win when your QB fumbles three times. I wish we watched some Film and covered Varbel on the goal line or blocked him for that matter. We didn't adjust at halftime they just took what was there all game. The only way to look at this is WE HAVE TO BEAT THE JETS.

We got killed and how we respond is important. The coaches have to look at themselves and this next game will tell alot. So lets just move on and see what we have to do to beat the Jets and go to 5-3.

What do we need to do and should we consider replacing Wade? I don't think it would have been that bad if he didn't get torched over and over. While we didn't play that well you can make an argument that our line played well with the exception of Wade, Campbell seemed to have time and they weren't getting a rush up the middle or on samuels side. Wade was just getting smoked all game and only 1 person was hitting our QB.

I agree, we must win. Luckily the Jets blow, so it'll be an easy win.

Are you kidding me? Have you watched the Redskins for the last like 15 years. There are no easy wins.

I can promise you it's not going to be easy.

A lot of it depends on who they start at QB. -EDIT- Now Clemens has been named the starter. -EDIT-

Clearly, Pennington is not to blame for their 32nd ranked defense, one that is almost as bad as ours was last year.

However, the fans and media are taking their frusteration out on Pennington, who is not doing spectacular, but is playing pretty alright all things considered. He's got no help from his running game, but the Jets passing game is still about average.

So in an attempt to correct the only part of their team that is right, the Jets have just announced that Kellen Clemens, their young gun will start against the Redskins this week. Clemens was underwhelming at the end of the Buffalo game last week.

Also mentioned in the decision to replace Chad were words such as "spark" and "grit".

Does any of this sound familiar? If so, you might be a Redskins fan.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets hand it to us this weekend. We have zero offense, our defense is beat up and tired, a lot of key guys are banged up pretty good, and we are playing on the road.

I keep waiting for this team to turn the corner, but the offensive futility combined with the myriad of injuries will be hard to overcome this year.

We'll find out what the team is really made of this week. After an ass kicking like that you either come out pissed off as all hell or you curl up in a ball and suck your thumb. It's gut check time for the players and coaches.

Great post...

This is our 2nd "Must Win" game. We have to beat the Jets...and preferably beat the shit out of them. We need to get into late '06 form... and just run the ball, stop the run, and catch them cheating with the play action.

Wade is clearly not a nfl caliber starter. Fabini is clearly not a nfl starter. They are not doing well. Run blocking is a major issue and pass protection is not their strong point either.

Our "backups" should be a little better than this. I don't expect them to jump right in and be no bumps in the road, but you've got to be better than what they are. Maybe the fact that we haven't had a draft in about 5 years could be contributing factor.

Anyways, the Jets are next and our offense has got to do something. The offense is really bad, often. They are good occasionally. If the "O" can't get it together we may not win another 4 games. I believe this week is a season changer. I have no idea what to expect out of the skins at this point.

According to some people around here, Todd Wade is every bit as good, or even better than Jansen... After watching him decide to block NOBODY on several plays yesterday, I have to disagree.

Regardless of how bad the Jets defense is, the Washington offense is still going to stuggle without some sort of cohesion along the offensive line. I think they'll beat the Jets, but it's going to be a lot closer than people think, unless they come out swinging, and pissed off.

Yup. On that note, who was Vrabel beating for the sacks? Was it a back, tight end, Wade, Fabini, or some combination thereof?

On one of the sacks, Wade looked at Vrabel, then looked inside, and Vrabel just ran right around him untouched. Wade didn't make contact with a singles defender on that particular play. On a few other blitzes, Wade just whiffed on his pickups.

Fabini looked just as bad, but most of the blitzes were coming from the edge, so his poor performance was overshadowed a bit.

I think this is the game where Portis can get his first 100 yard game of the season.

Hopefully we can bust through the line and Knock Pennington Out,But we need to stop that west cost-short pass-1 check down Pass= First DOWN every time Crap.The D needs to step up Big time because after yesterday if we get into the playoffs god willing, the Superbowl, Odds are The Pats or the Colts' will be on the other side and we cant match up with them playing like this.I can totally see us as The ravens,Defense does win Championships,Cause The offense isnt working right now.

I heard the reason Gibbs did not get made at Belichick for running up the score was beacause Belichick was going to give Gibbs some game film on the Jets before he left town
