The after London semi-meltdown thread.

[skinsfaninok]

we should have won yet another game, all 4 games that we have not won, only 1 game was a sure loss. We could be 7-1 right now. It happens, overall the team fights hard and u cant complain about that. Kirk played a good def today and lit them up. Hop has to make that kick. the tie always helps the teams over .500. Bengals gotta be sick that they didn't win after being up 20-10.

4-3-1 is better than 4-4

We just don't know how to win. Coaches and players. We are getting there. We are better than last year, but the record may not show it. The last two weeks have been brutal.

Well I assume Scot McC. will do what he does every year and improve the team if he sees an opportunity to do so. And if he doesn't, then *gasp* we might actually ask Doctson to be a reliable player because we're counting on him. And if he gets injured again then *double gasp* hopefully our depth will step up, just like Vernon Davis did the last two weeks, and the way Robert Kelley did today with Matt Jones out!

It is always something isn't it? Do enough on O and D to win the kicker misses a chip shot. Its just never ending.

Nothing personal but "we just don't know how to win" literally two weeks after winning 4 in a row. I know we're 0-1-1 the last two weeks but seriously?

[punch it in]

Norman really had a rough go with the holding. Plus the three misses.
Preston Smith play today?
FU Hopkins you little shit you suck.
Really questionable play calling.
Breeland is working his way out of a job.

Cousins, Crowder, and Reed. Man I hope I can say that for years to come.
Bye coming at a perfect time. Lets get healthy and win some games down the stretch. Namely because if we win one redskin1980 has to go away forever but also it could get us into the playoffs....

If I'm Gruden I'm taking the fine and saying "that was the worst damn officiating I've ever seen, the crew and the NFL should be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed."

[calia]

If you had told me that Cousins would throw for nearly 200 more net yards than Dalton, we'd win the turnover battle, we'd go 100 yards on the ground, we'd win time of possession, Cousins would get sacked only once, we'd have 3 receivers over 90 yards, we'd have only 1 turnover total (a bomb that is picked on third and very long -- basically, a punt to the Bengals 14 yard line), we'd have 3 sacks of our own, including a sack-fumble -- I'd say we'd score close to 40 points and run away with it.

Nope. Not this team. We mush have the lowest points to yards ratio in history. Our red zone offense is putrid. And coaching is a real part of that.

DARE TO BE GREAT, GENTLEMEN! Seriously, I beg you.

[QUOTE=sdskinsfan2001;1154197]We're not winning the SB. But making the playoffs 2 years in a row would be excellent progress. So that's what I want. This tie might haunt us later.

We need to run the ball more. Gotta keep pounding it even if it doesn't work immediately. Both to have the run be a threat and to wear down their front 7.[/QUOTE

We are not playoff caliber and the league is a heavy passing league. The days of
AP and co are fading away.

I agree. The call on Garcon was painful to see and consequential to the game. We had two defensive holding calls that were likewise astonishingly bad. And yet the Bengals can do cheap stuff that can get guys hurt and get away with it most of the time.

The league gets the results it wants. Sports is money and that is the end in itself. The whole thing is rigged somewhat to maximize rating, etc. Do you really think the kneeling stuff alone is responsible for the loss of TV ratings? More folks are waking up to the fact that it is almost a scam. The product if you want to call it that, quite frankly sucks.

[sdskinsfan2001]

We're on pace for a record that would normally qualify for the playoffs or would be really close and we made it last year. We're playoff caliber I'd say.

[SFREDSKIN]

Penalties killed us today, 5 on Norman alone, ridiculous!! We have to stop beating ourselves. Special team also sucked today.

[FlyerSkin]

Those calls onNorman were pretty much legit, but the one against Garcon must have been one of those phantom calls that kept the Skins from driving for the winning score. Most calls are legit, but too many are made out of the air and are momentum changers.

Kotwica has been exposed!
