Play calling by Gibbs and GW.

[BDBohnzie]

Not having Patten yesterday hurt the Redskins. People may bash Patten, but having his speed and ability on the field only helps...

Having missed the game (I DVR'd it, did a fast forward thru the first half, and when I realized that's all the scoring I did, I turned it off and booted the game into deleter space), did Portis get niched up at all? With Betts out, that could be why Portis didn't see the ball much. Also could be that no lead is safe, and throwing the ball is a quicker way to score points.

The Skins have had a lot of injuries this year, that affect the core of the team. Missing Taylor last week, Griffin both weeks on Defense have affected the unit. GW's system is exploited because the personnel running it isn't getting the job done. This is basically the #3 unit from last year (sans Pierce and Smoot). Those 2 here would be void because the biggest problem is getting pressure on the QB.

The Skins need to dig down deep and find out what they're made of...
