How will the Team respond?

Southtown15 · 10-28-2007, 07:45 PM

I do think that we can bounce back next weekend and beat the Jets, if and only if we can get away from the boring play calling. Is anyone else here tired of the 1st down pass- incomplete, 2nd down run- 2 yards, 3rd down pass- incomplete, PUNT! Am i the only one that thinks the offense is not being managed very well?

We got the Jets, and Eagles coming up in the next two weeks. Hopefully we can win both of those games, and be 6-3.

We'll see--this is the big question. We'll learn a lot more about our team in the next few weeks then we did today.

I don't think guys quit, for what it's worth. No one has stopped the pats, at all, and we turned the ball over 4 times--that's tough on a D in the best of circumstances. The O struggled, but against a top 5 D on the road. Gotta move along and get the wins we should, and must, get.

i think we'll be able to take out the jets.

Southtown15 · 10-28-2007, 07:56 PM

I think that if they keep running the offense the way they are the season will end up lost. They need to be more creative with the massive amount of talent we have.

skinsguy · 10-28-2007, 07:57 PM

We will redeem ourselves next week and then we have the Eagles at home. I think our guys will move on past this.

It's hard to utilize weapons with no offensive line.

As far as I am aware, everyone on the offensive line other than Jansen and Thomas were healthy enough to play today. Those three fumbles/ sacks were deplorable. I can't be too hard on Campbell, but Gibbs should have had this team more prepared than they were. I mean on third down after the Redskins forced a fumble, the play clearly should have been a draw play to Portis, but nnoooooooooo, let Campbell take a chance to the same side of the field to the same target (Cooley who was covered).

Like every team in the league injuries occur. The question is does this team have enough sense to adjust to its dilemma with nine games ahead of them?
If there a weakness in the line then TE's have to pick up the blitze as other teams seem to do. Portis is not the same runner he was in 2005. And Betts needs to get a certain amount of reps before he shows what he's made of.

And other teams have suffered as well. See the Rams (as has been pointed out). And when we had our TEs picking up the blitz, people started bitching about that too. You just can't please some people

We are not going to respond positively to this loss if we Jason Campbell continues to look for Randle El and Cooley on almost every play. There is no effort to get Sellers, Betts, Lloyd, McCardell or Caldwell into the game. The passes to Cooley are becoming predictable as the Patriots demonstrated today.

Southtown15 · 10-28-2007, 08:46 PM

How is it that at the begining of the season the world is talking about how powerful a duo Portis and Betts will be. Yet, 7 games in, neither has done anything that impressive. We are not utilizing all of our weapons.

SmootSmack · 10-28-2007, 09:04 PM

Kellen Clemens finished the game against the Bills today. Wonder if he gets the starting nod next week

Southtown15 · 10-28-2007, 09:19 PM

I do understand that missing two starters on the same side of the line already handcuffs the offense. But it does not require them to be one dimensional. An incompletion, a short run, and short pass, and a punt is not going to win many games. Im saying they are lacking creativity in the play selection. I cant tell you how many times the offense went three and out today using the play selection i described above. They run the same group of plays everytime while rarely taking any chances.

4mrusmc · 10-28-2007, 09:13 PM

This team should be completely ashamed of it's performance today. They were out played at every phase of the game. I was hoping that this team would not play like this, with it's pitiful display of heart and effort. And JC is in his 3rd season in the NFL, it is time that he starts playing like it. I am truely embarrassesed for this team. Today my wife gave me a birthday gift of two Redskins tickets to see the eagles play at Fedex this year. This will be her first NFL game, and I hope that this team can rebound from this terrible display of an alleged pro team playing professional football with a Hall of Fame coach.
