Why do you think he's on a short leash?

He's one of the best talent evaluators in the biz, it was a great move to get him here. Gruden has something to prove, McCloughan on the other hand has a resume that gives him serious clout.

Good - Defense only gave up 10 points.
Bad - play calling, Injuries, 2 picks
Ugly - Special teams, penalties

[skinsfaninok]

I'm just glad we didn't get embarrassed. We are a 6 win team folks nothing more. So don't expect many happy Sunday threads here.

Good- Bill Callahan as our OL coach
The OL came to play and did an impressive job, providing 37:54 minutes time of possesion.
Running game
Reed
Garcon
Smith (rookie)

Bad- penalties
Special teams
Conservative play calling
Injuries
Reed, he had 2 miscommunications with KC.

I liked him last year, and I said before the game I was hoping to see halftime adjustments. I also was worried that we wouldn't make any. Losing Djax hurt, but no one cares about injuries, because every team gets them.

Remember, whether we want to admit it or not, this is a rebuild. But a lot of good out there today. I just want that type of effort every week. Give that effort, cut down on the stupid penalties and keep Amerson off the field. Anyone but him. He is just terrible.

good: oline, defense, this year's draft class played pretty well.
bad: no adjustments, penalties, coaching (3&13 draw play, 2&20 draw play, 4&1 FG when we were running roughshod, just a lot of give up/no confidence moments).

that return TD and the dropped ints/ kirk's ints were sort of depressing. kirk was fine, he's not the reason we lost, but he definitely didn't look mind-blowingly great either. DJ going down so early really sucks. hamstring too.

KC had one bad ball out there today. The defense bailed him out on that. The other one was on Garçon. He has to either catch it or not let the defender outmuscle him for the ball.

I'm at the point where I want to see Ross on the field a lot more. Jackson is always getting nicked up and probably isn't going to be resigned next year anyway.

Good:

• Offensive line manhandled the Phins DL on run and pass support.
• Kirk Cousin played well minus the one bad INT
• Alfred Morris was amazing
• Defensive line dominated for the most part

Bad:

• Special teams coverage is still horrible.
• Kai is shaky. Not sure why we got rid of that FG kicker we drafted last year.
• Penalties. A huge sign of lack of discipline. This is primarily why we lost.
• David Amerson is still garbage.
• Roberts needs to be cut. Drops too many passes.

We absolutely dominated the Dolphins in this game in yards and time of possession.


Skins offense: 349 total yards
Phins offense: 256 total yards

Skins passing yards: 188
Phins passing yards: 182

Skins rushing yards: 161
Phins rushing yards: 74

Skins time of possession: 37:54
Phins time of possession: 22:06


Dolphins vs. Redskins - Team Statistics - September 13, 2015 - ESPN


We had 20 first downs for the entire game and we moved the ball easily. Fucking penalties killed us. You aren't going to win any games with 11 penalties unless you have supreme talent to overcome it, which we aren't anywhere close to that.

Good: compete level
Bad: Penalties
Ugly: play calling

[rocnrik]

I can live with this loss IF they address the penalties and special teams…think about if i would have told you before the game the Redskins D would only give up 1 touchdown all of us what have taken that!..cousins had one bad throw and he bounced back from that..The Qb play did not cost us this game..so lets not go there! the penalties as well as at least 2 or 3 possible interceptions we let get away..geez ..why can't our D catch passes..factor in almost miracle type catch the Dolphins D had and the result is loss. I would have liked to see the skins go for it on 3rd and one early in the game vs the missed field goal,at that point Alfred was gaining a lot per carry..but all in all not a terrible game ..a lot to build on and think about it IF the skins had won this game how many post are unrealistic about the rest of season..i can see it now ..WE ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL after ONE win..lets face it guys at best this team wins 7 or 8 games..we gotta be patient!

I don't get the play calling criticism.

What should have been called differently when?

I thought Gruden (or McVay and/or Callahan however it was) and Kirk checking out of plays at the line, did a great job limiting their pass rush and putting us in manageable situations.

I don't know what you're supposed to call when you're looking at 1st and 20 almost all the way through the third.

Bottom line is that when our own mistakes through penalties didn't put us in a down and distance disadvantage we moved the ball.

Like some other posters in this thread have noted, conservative play calling wasn't unexpected and was warranted with Kirk's reaction to throwing picks last year. I don't have any problem with the way the game was called.

They started keying run int he second half and when we weren't in a hole, Kirk moved the ball through the air.

For the first time in a long time, we had a chance to win against a good team in the last 2 minutes of the game.

In the gameday thread somebody noted the clock could have been managed better at the end of the 2nd half to take our possession past the 2 minute warning. This is a legit criticism.

A lot of generalizations about bad play calling and Gruden not seeming like a head coach in this thread with no real specifics.

Well stated.

[punch it in]

Good : KC (for the most part. I think his hands were tied. Only one pic was really terrible) , Oline, Defense, Jordan Reed, Almo.
Bad : forbath, conservative playcalling, discipline, special teams, david amerson.

[DynamiteRave]

The Good: KC, Garcon, Reed, the running game, the d-line, the o-line (blocking)

The bad: Amerson, injuries, the secondary in general

The Ugly: Endless penalties, stupid refs, Gruden's non-existent nuts, DJax being almost as injury prone as Jordan Reed.
