Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives

[Bucket]

RG3 can't come back soon enough. Hopefully give this team a spark.

Defense doesn't create turnovers. Period

Kerrigan
K. Robinson
Amerson

On the bubble - Baker, Jenkins, Riley


Not including rookies on here, because all rookies are basically bubble players anyway. There are some who will def be back (Murphy) and some who may not (Jackson Jeffcoat... Btw, who?)

I'm on the fence about Roberts. Solid return guy, but has dropped way too many key passes in the past two weeks (I'd give him a pass on the fumble, b/c I don't think that was a fumble).

I thought Compton looked solid today. Was way better in coverage then Riley has been all year. I even saw him making corrections to Robinson before the snap

Positives

I was at the game and was nice to see a ton of Redskin fans there. I think some activists had a demonstration about an hour away in Scottsdale but nothing close to the stadium.

Negatives
Zero pass rush. You gotta be able to rough up Palmer, force bad throws.

Those turnovers were gutwrenching

[Hijinx]

It is a shame, you look at this schedule and there are winnable games there, but this team continues to disappoint. Three out of next four games are vs awful teams but I bet the Skins only win one or none. At this point it is best just to tank and get better draft picks.

There are so many holes on this team, I can not see them being competitive for another 2-3 seasons.

I don't care how good your offense is, to win games you have to have a defense and special teams that can make big-time game-changing plays.... turnovers, blocked field goals, return touchdowns, etc. But we never make those plays. Instead, we're the ones giving them up every f*cking game. Not saying this is the only reason we suck, but this is something I notice all the time.

<sigh> A whole new generation of Redskins fans like me is growing up knowing nothing but failure. If this team can't start winning soon they're going to lose a currently solid fan base. Who the f*ck wants to root for a loser team like the Redskins?

Keenan & Kerrigan are the only guys on this team that I care about having a spot on the D next year.
(Edit: Starters. Can throw in Amerson, but he's not a #1.)

O-line minus Trent can be completely flipped. I like our skill position depth.

Kirk can go, he's not worth it any more. Let's move forward with RG.

If we had a better offense in the past two games, we probably would have won them. But, yeah our other units cannot come up with game-changing plays.

I really like Gruden, but I'm worried that maybe loyalty to Haslett will kill his career here. Haslett needs to go.

[ethat001]

1) We first have to admit, currently we suck.

2) However, let's be a little more fair to Jay Gruden / Haslett / Bruce Allen. Every team has injuries, but we've been hit hard. We've lost:
- starting QB, NT, CB#1, CB#3 (Porter)
- played this game w/o: CB#2, MLB#2, OLB#2 (Kerrigan)
- most of year w/o TE#1, backup safeties (Nacho)

Admittedly Arizona has still been 5-1 despite injuries to QB/etc -- but almost every other team in the league would suck without their QB & key players.

3) We NEED to draft early round O-linemen. Dallas just beat Seattle, with only one sack and >160 rushing yards, with a stellar Oline. We have a lot of needs, but ignoring our trenches is why we have a lot of "superstar players" but few wins. We need to fix the line, the no-name players in the trenches to win against good teams with pass rushes. We need to be able to run with A.Morris again.


POSITIVE: At least I get my Sunday's back.

[SouperMeister]

Until the Skins get serious about rebuilding the O-line, the offense will be inconsistent at best. RG3 was dynamic enough as a rookie to overcome this weakness, but other than Trent Williams, I would not be upset if we ditched the rest.

[Dirtbag59]

For some reason this is the game that I always think of when I think of Kirk Cousins

MSU won 33-30
Cousins stats were 27-50 (54%) 300 Yards 1 TD 3 INT

He has his good days but it always feels like there has to be at least one Interception.

Remember when we had a QB controversy...those were the days.....well not really, but they were certainly preferable to whatever this is.

[hagams]

At least we have a 1st round pick this year.

Never had a QB controversy. I stated Cousins was playing well enough to be a good QB. Now that teams have film on him its difficult to judge what he will ever be. The good thing is hes great off the bench and if he keeps playing like this, we can resign him cheap because nobody will want him lol
