Skins/Falcons goat of the day

They also threw for more than their per game average against us, so it was a bad performance all around.

Without Springs playing.

And you can't tell me he wouldn't have had an impact, not after the Carolina game.

Certainly that was part of it, but we had them locked down for a quarter...so I feel Springs' presence may be a tad overrated.

Either way, doesn't change the shitty performance.

I voted for Campbell.

Ya the D wasn't great but it's old news already - our D sucks. Considering Soft Springs was out (again) and they were facing a great rushing team, I don't think the D played that horrible.

I think Campbell had a bad game especially in the 2nd half. He couldn't handle the pressure at all. Granted the O-line pass protection wasn't great, but the Falcons were sending the house on many plays and you can only block so many guys. The QB has to make the quick read and find the open guy (Cooley) or get rid of the ball. JC looked sluggish today. I found he looked really slow dropping back and didn't show the same composure back there. And that INT he threw was huge and turned the whole tide of the game.

I'm not a JC hater or anything, but for this game he was the goat.

My goat was the coaches.

Campbell was off but he did have poor protection at times from the O line. However, the O line performed well in the running game. The D lived up (or down?!?) to their ranking--going up against the best running team in the league. And they played without Springs--who was missed when the Falcons went at Wright/Jimoh at key times in the game. So it seems that there was enough blame to go around.

I gave it to the Skins' coaches by a hair since they were outcoached. Mora and Co. put the ball in Dunn/Norwood's gut and out of Vick's arm and waited for the Skins to make mistakes. That is the very thing the Skins' coaches should have done (not only for the first quarter but for the entire game). The game seemed to turn when Saunders called that poodle reverse to ARE in the first half. In addition, Gibbs had some dubious game management decisions.

[Redskin]

young QB's make mistakes, he just outright blew this game missing easy passes and giving away a TD. The growing process is painful for the QB but even more painful for the fan. I might be alone when I say this but if we had Mark out there today I think we would have won.

Wow, I guess our expectations of a quality defense has fallen so far that we don't even blink when they get shredded for 250 yards on the ground and instead put the blame on a QB making his 3rd start who had pressure in his face all day.

That's Redskins fans for ya.

So you had higher expectations of Campbell making his 3rd start vs our entire defense??

I'm not sure if this speaks to how bad our defense is or how great some think that Campbell is.

what does this have to do with expectations? this is about this single game, not about what this may teach campbell down the line or whatever, this is about today. not about expectations.

Well obviously if the D playing so bad today didn't bother you, and instead a QB making his 3rd start playing poorly bothered you more, then you tell me what your expectations of the game were today.

I'm assuming that if the D getting shredded for 250 yards on the ground doesn't surprise you, your expectations of the D today must not have been that great.

[Citizens for 81]

Campbell made 2 mistakes, the defense got torched for 2 qrts. I don't see how Campbell was worse than the D.

if you are defending campbell by the him being inexperienced, i think the title of this thread is wrong. its not how they played relative to the circumstances, its just performance. i think its kinda rediculous how u are reacting to people who think campbell was the worst player today, "thats redskins fans for you". kinda offensive

Chill out, you're just missing my point. No big deal.
