Redskins vs Bucs GameDay Thread

[MTK]

If you had told me before the game McNabb throws 2 TDs and 0 picks, Torain runs for 172, and our D holds their running game in check, I would have thought definitely a win for the Skins. Just so frustrating how it seems at least one phase of the game holds us back on a weekly basis.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

In April we will be loving this lost, trust me.

Bringing one or two of the Goodmans in to replace Brown and/or Campbell. Replacing several scouts.

A high pick to me just reminds me of how much we stink, I'd rather be winning games to finish on a high note.

Exactly what I've been thinking lately. I mean we find new insane ways to lose each week.

Loss probably would have been easier to swallow if we hadn't had such a strong drive to pull within one point at the end of the game

True, but this game was about more lost opportunities than just the kicking game. The end of half clock mismanagement really gave the bucs hope, we score a td there & it's maybe a different game. In general the red zone O wasn't sharp. Both td's were on 4th downs, which they deserve a lot of credit for, but it shows we had trouble there too.

I also don't like to criticize db's for being in position to make plays, but usually Hall makes that pick in the 1st quarter & has 6. Fletcher also dropped one.

The announcers said we mismanged the clock but we got to run our three plays and try for the FG so waht was actually mismanaged? It didn't look that smooth but we had plenty of time.

I am so god damned tired of some of you guys talking about patience, when this clown coaching us this year is no better than the clown we had last year. I'm sorry, but at $7 million per year Mike Shanahan is the most overrated over paid, over hyped coach in the NFL this year. It's one thing to be wildly optimistic tempered with some patience, it's another to have glaring deficiencies and flaws week in and week out. That's not a patience issue, that's a competence issue.

The personnel decisions have been questionable, the play calling and clock management has been suspect, and Shanny continues to feed us BS at every presser. I'm just not convinced that the talent level between mos NFL rosters, ours included, is that great.

It's year 1 dude. Shanny is not responsible for the previous 20 years that have you and much of the fan base boiling over. He has been here for 13 games which for the most part he is playing with players he didn't select. How can we all criticise Snyder so much and then act just like we all accused him of acting?

Not to have gotten more from Torain's best day as a pro performance is a little disheartening. Not being able to finish drives is the chief culprit.

They were one in the same basically. We left an easy 7 points out there on teams alone.

This is the moodiest team I've ever seen. They change from being brilliant to pathetic almost on a drive by drive basis. First half was awesome. And you know what adjustments the Bucs are going to make at half time. But then we don't adjust accordingly to those adjustments and play right into their hands. Man handled in first half, then not a single first down till half way through the 4th. It's very peculiar to watch.

Didnt we get a delay of game penalty coming out of a time out? It was a complete f*ck up by mcnabb and shanny.

And we gave them a short field on the kickoff fumble which they scored 3? So thats 10 pts...i think, dunno i was drinking heavily at that point
