Redskins vs Bucs Post Game Reaction

[CRedskinsRule]

Onto the poll, I honestly don't know how to choose between the 3 selections.

RGIII stands alone(on the Skins) in his ability to sprint for touchdowns, read the defense and get the job done at the closing bell. Does anyone else have the feeling that the lack of chaos (read replacement refs) at the end of the games would have made a huge difference in our last few games? How you don't choose him for MVP of the week I just don't know. BUT

Alfred Morris put up 100+ against a defense that had limited DeMarco Murray, the Giants and Cam Newton/Panthers combined to less than 100. He had a Riggo type run to the endzone from the 39 yd line, and d*** if every time he is pushing that pile you don't think he's gonna get one ... more ..... yard. SO I guess he ought to get it, EXCEPT,

RK really is making the other offenses account for him, and our d needs that.


Who am i kidding LOL

RG3

RG3

What about Cundiff kicking the game winner! Who cares if he misses 37 of them - he was obviously keeping it close so he could win the game and win the poll.
Of course RG3.

What plays would you have had them run?

They should hAve gone for the throat at the end of the half.

Well you do have to balance the fact that he is a rookie and in that spot up 21-6 the last thing you want is a huge swing in momentum with a pick 6 or something. Overall they've done a great job with him.

Remember the blocked put in the aint's game, that swung momentum.

Right now I think I trust him more than any other player or unit on the team. Going forward I think I'd like to see them shift towards letting him control the situations rather than simply controlling the situations for him. By my eyes he's ready.

Well in Madden they go for it on 4th down on our own 20 and throw deep balls to Garcon on 3 consecutive plays .

It wasnt fourth and twenty. It was first and ten with two minutes left in the half so not sure where you are coming from? SS they have certainly showed the ability to move the ball down field in a number of ways so take your pick. My point was that they were content to go into the half up 21 -6.
Saints game was another example yes. Moving the ball at will but during the two min drill at half instead of going for the throat. We clammed up and it cost us a td on the blocked punt. Jeez guys you know its ok to second guess some things the skins do - im not going to call you a bad fan. Really.

He isnt playing like a rookie. In the saints game our apprehensiveness cost us 7 the other wAy. I have seen nothing from rg3 that tells me he will fold under pressure and throw a pick six. If he does he does. Im never ever going to say " oh my god - they should have sat on that lead and not let rg3 throw because he was moving the ball at will! ". Ever.
Also matty dont get me wrong. I think they are doing a great job with rg3. Im just saying dont stop doing it when you get a lead. Lol

I don't think they were content at all. Are you saying they should have gone deep or something?

Good for you bro. I've been pretty disappointed in the name-calling as of late, which almost uniformly seems to come from Shanny apologists.

Name-calling from mods though is extra lame...kinda reminiscent of ES if you ask me.

Agitated posting begets agitated posting. And some posts ARE just totally ***ing idiotic. Not saying I agree in this particular case (or not) but in general I think when bad ideas are brought up they should be pointed out.

Play-calling was most definitely an issue in the 2nd half, and in combo with the secondary it allowed the Bucs back in the game. I don't remember a single deep pass in the 2nd half. Not that we're connecting on a lot, but the threat of it is worth the risk, and even if it's picked the field position on a deep pick isn't scary like a turnover near the LOS.

Bottom line is if we're going to have any chance of winning a few more games (looking at the schedule) this offense, and I'm referring to coaching/play-calling here, needs to put 4 quarters of football together. Since week 1 I think we've seen about two good quarters from the offense in each game.

Obviously the same goes for defense, but I don't wanna seem greedy
