He's not that stupid. It was a smart-ass remark reflecting his frustration. Jay Gruden is a keeper, IMO. Now, as for some of his assistants, he needs to take a hard look, in the off-season, on whether or not they should be retained.

Actually I like what Barry did yesterday. He's so inconsistent with his playcalling, but yesterday he was sending guys and getting after Dalton. Where was that last week???

It's really frustrating to hear gruden say "we got to get back to running the ball" or "we abandoned the run there for awhile". He siad this shit after halftime today.

Your the fuckin head coach, do something about it. I've heard this said 3 to 4 times after games, during games.

I agree. He is the HC, he is the emperor of the team, get it done!!!

I just think that with this staff, they like to throw the ball more now that they have so many pass catchers. It's what they do best. They're never going to be the type that is committed to the run. He may say it but it's just lip service.

I think we win 5 more games. Beat Minnesota, Dallas, philly, NY and Chicago. Make the wild card and win on the road!

Worst case 8-7-1

These last 2 games should have been wins...just brutal.

I appreciate the fight and how competitive this team is...which is a big positive and really defines this team since this time last last year. Other than that pathetic Pittsburgh game, we have played with the intensity which keeps us in every game.

But what is aggravating is when we fucking dominant our opponent (like we did in the first half today, no question) but we can't get the ball in the end zone for td scores OR have lapses on special teams or dumb penalty or turnover which keeps the opponents in the game with easy scores. I've seen this multiple times this season where we should have 2 score or double digit leads,but we let the other team hang around.

this is what pisses me the fuck off. I blame the coaches and the players...

Today was frustrating. At least we're still over .500. Skins are known to rally at the end of the season. We still have a good shot at the playoffs.

I share your frustration that we haven't been able to finish games. It's a damn shame that we failed to pick up wins the last two weeks. We could be 6-2 right now. But we're not.

What we are is competitive. Right now, I'd say there are fewer than half a dozen teams in the league that I'd expect to dominate us in any given game. That's real progress.

All year I've been trying to keep my emotions in check because i believe we are still one off-season (one FA period and one Draft) away from becoming a perennial contender. If we compete for a playoff spot this season, it's gravy, as far as I'm concerned.

Rash changes in the coaching staff or player personnel is the last thing I want to see right now. We're headed in the right direction, so I'd hate to see the decision-makers rock the boat during the season. The off-season is the time to make all of those assessments and decisions, IMO.

[punch it in]

I say we beat Minn, Packers, Philly, NY, Carolina, Bears.

[OmahaRedskins]

PFF has Anthony Lanier as the 5th best defensive player today. I know he recovered the fumble, but i did not notice him most of the game. He did not register a tackle in the game stats.

[los panda]

well that was some crazy shit.

looks like matt jones is worthless after all.

[Bangee7]

First and foremost- this team has fight.

It wasn't too long ago, that we were finishing below .500 every year.

I know it sucks to lose tight games, but....at least we are IN these games to the end. It wasn't always like that.

So, that's step #1.

Step #2 is to learn to finish more of these games & bring home the win.

It won't take take much to get to step 2 consistently.
Josh Norman needs called out by his teammates to cut out the stupid penalties.
He knows better- he'll clean it up.

Hopkins- I am still behind this guy. Yeah, he had a bad game & missed a few make-able kicks. He is still light years ahead of the chumps we used to roll through here.
Anyone remember the (what was it?) 8-10 years of sub-par kickers?
He's still young & he'll reflect & learn from this.

So we get to the halfway point & now have a bye week.
Time to get healthy, look back on what could have been better & get a plan to fix it.

Things are not all bleak...there is a lot of positive to be taken from the crappy outcome today.

We're at the half way mark & we're 1.5 games over .500. We all know it could be more & so do the players & coaches. That should give everyone more confidence & resolve to get the rest of the little things ironed out & start rocking for the second half & the playoff run.

Hail!
