Even with 2 straight 3 yard gains, you only have a 3rd & 4....and the 'skins have lots of plays for that.

This team MUST RUN the ball more. I know McVay has a great passing game plan, but I felt like we were starting to tire Cincy out,but we didn't stay committed.

Once a defense tires, that's when the big plays usually happen...a broken tackle or a defender who's just a step slow to react.

Now that they know what they have in Kelly, I'd love to see them rotate in a fresh Mack Brown & start overwhelming defenses.

Just think about the play action fakes that would open up.

Ill take 400 in the air n 100 on the ground all game every game. Its all about the RZ. Thats where we need to figure something out. We had big plays. We dont need big plays in the RZ.

But hey in retrospect anything different seems good. Lol. Ill never get that kick out of my head. I know it was not the super bowl but it was London. Different type of football sunday - up early. Only game on. It was right before the bye so you get two weeks of victory celebration. Damn.

I know you keep dwelling on the kick, but seriously, it should never have come down to needing that kick.

We marched up and down the field on them....over 500 yards of offense and only 27 points.

I sure as heck hope our coaches are re-examining their red zone offense.
1 TD in 4 tries inside the RZ (25%) won't win many games.

To me, that continues to be the biggest failing so far this year & hopefully the bye week will help get the proper focus on it.

McVay (and/or Gruden) need more help with their Red Zone play selection.

You are 100 % correct. I was really just referring to Buckets strategy after the timeout. Yes i wanted Hopkins head on a platter. Totally over it. Of course no game is decided on one play. A million things could have changed the outcome of that game. Our RZ offense being number one like you mentioned. It is nothing short of mind numbing terrible.

I've favored Rob to start since he is a much more instinctive runner, but hopefully his threat to take the job will compel Jones to run with far greater urgency and decisiveness.

One injury I didn't read a lot about: Duke Ihenacho's concussion... That hit was scary, he was knocked out cold, I hope, for his safety, he doesn't return to the field for at least 2 or 3 weeks... Which really s*cks because I think he's by far our best safety. Whitner is getting there but so far I remember him both missing a few tackles and getting beat on coverage.

Sorry gentlemen, I'll try to behave in the future. Hope I can match the standards expected on this board.

Couille.
