If the other team is struggling offensively, as we saw today, it's practically a given that the Skins will struggle too.
Well, the playcalling was quite flaky for almost three quarters. Lots of passes and very few runs. Then Kyle decides to finally call a few runs when our backs are against the wall. That's when we scored.

Yep.. I think me and you were on the same page that game SCP. I was saying the whole game I didn't like the playcalling for the 1st 3Q. Don't qoute me, but it seemed like Kyle was trying "to hard" to prove the Rex is the man to run this offense, and in doing that. He actaully made it harder for Rex to get into a rythem, and get the offense into motion.

I don't think they are spelling Torain enough either. I understand he wasn't getting enough carries so he didn't want to come out, but when the man is running 22 yards in 2 plays, and it takes him forever to get back to the huddle, and get off the turf. He should let Keliand get in there a few more times.

I have confidence in both of those backs now that they;ve had the experience. I wouldn't mind seeing Portis, Torain, Williams in the RB rotation coming into camp. not specifically in that order.

I still can't help but wonder if Kyle is also still "stuck" in Houston where Andre Johnson really could allow him to call pass after pass with little punishment. After all, that Grossman INT for Moss would had a better chance at being a TD if AJohnson was running that route instead of S. Moss

I thought Torain should have been spelled more with Williams also.And whats up with Cooley,he's dropped several passes this yr and now 4 today? You should have 4 in a season,not 1 game.I love Cooley,but its time to either trade him or give Davis the starting nod.And back to Kyle,Ive said it before and I'm gonna say it again,it was a mistake to hire him in the first place,Mike's not gonna let his son be the fallguy,it will always be someone elses fault.

I hate to agree, but I do.. Cooley is the man and my favorite Redskin, but if we can get soem value from him like a 2nd rounder then I wouldn't mind seeing Fred Davis take the role.

It's not like we are running the 2 TE's sets that we dreamed of here. I've only seend them in short yardage situations. Paulsen was played well as a blocker, and catcher in the situations he's put in.

He's had one TD in the last nine games! I love the guy too but seeing him get voted for worst dropped pass of the 2010 season is damn embarrasing :-( C'mon man!

This was a bad drop, but the Skins still scored the TD on this drive AND they won the game, so worst dropped pass of the year? I don't think so.

Agree, it was a horrible drop but didn't matter in the end.

yeah those dropsies started last year.. it's freaking contagious it seems

first we blamed it on JC being too hot on short passes, then this.. then that.. Cooley's gotta catch the damn ball, TEs shouldn't be known for drops

love the guy but Davis is probably the better option now
