Redskins-Bears Reviews (and Analysis)

[saden1]

There's obviously plenty of blame to go around for the turnovers. McNabb threw 2 interceptions, probably should have been charged with a third except his own time-management error prevented it from counting. McNabb fumbled twice on sacks, doubling his season total. That's five potential turnovers on McNabb alone, but only one was actually costly: the pick six by DJ Moore. Torain's fumbles were more costly, and Cooley is more of a "fumbler" than we would be lead to believe. Brandon Banks fumbled on the first play of the game, and only got it back thanks to a miracle roll. There was a common thread in the non-McNabb fumbles, and that's the fact that Chicago CB Charles Tillman matched DeAngelo Hall blow for blow in interceptions with game-changing forced fumbles, and that player of the week award could easily be his -- had the Bears been fortunate enough to recover more than one of those fumbles, which of course was recovered by Tillman himself. Tillman essentially turned every one of the Redskins ballcarriers into a mobile version of the Jay Cutler turnover machine.

McNabb definitely played like crap...I cheered that delay of game penalty...thank god because that would have been the ball game for us. I can't hate on Cooley...that was an amazing pouch out by the Tillman...Got to give Cooley some props for being smart enough to shove the ball out of bounds. Torain I can forgive because he came right back out and played hard and held on to the ball for dear life. All in all this offense needs a lot more work. They are as inept as they come in the NFL.
