Tough loss. Proud of how they battled on the road against an undefeated team though.

Agree...grant is too slow. And I saw the replay...that int is on grant IMO.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

[QUOTE=skinsfan69;1125088]The game was lost in two areas.

1. Playing that horseshit prevent defense on Atlanta's go ahead drive. I put that on Barry. You can't play that bullshit defense in the NFL against a high powered offense.

2. The coaches for calling that wr screen that got blown up. Throw the fucking ball to Crodwer in the end zone. Just playing not to fucking lose there.[/QUOTE]
This game was lost on the first half when we only put up 7 points, while our D was playing well and limited the Falcons to 3 pts and had two takeaways.

Yet I see it a bit as a moral victory. The old Redskins would have fallen apart and embarrassed themselves.

Sorry - my mom's dead, but thanks for asking.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

We played them tough, and the offense really struggled most of the game. I think the pick is more on Grant, but I question the decision to throw to him in that spot. They definately were missing Jordan Reed out there. The defensive line struggled at times today also, too much getting out of position and breaking containment.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

Don't know why people are looking for scapegoats, our team played a helluva ball game and we should all be proud of them.

HTTR!!

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

[quote=Coff;1125090]I don't know. It's really hard to get an idea of how high exactly the throw was. If it was at the right height, it was still behind Grant. A good throw would have put that ball into his gut, and there's no way that's where that ball was going. If Grant didn't slip, I can still see that ball being intercepted, perhaps off of Grant's fingertips. If Grant was supposed to break to the sideline, the throw would have been perfect. Again, it may have been Grant's route running or it may have been a poorly thrown ball. The replay isn't clear enough.

Regardless, I don't really give a shit. This game, while painful to lose, was a major step forward for this football team. Couldn't get the ground game going, QB was off on his throws, a number of bounces went against us, it was on the road against an undefeated team, and we took the game into OT. A few more games like this and I might not be so ashamed about being a Redskins fan.[/quote]

I guess I'm just thinking Grant was going/supposed to plant and comeback a step or two while floating towards the sideline. Agree on the second half.

Welp, it gets stupider

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

This loss in Kirk..not because of the pick 6 but because he just wasn't accurate today. Blaming him though isn't meant in a scapegoat way. He played pretty well but just was off. It happens. The team fought and gave itself a chance. I'm not hysterical about this. More stuff for the team and Cousins to grow on.

Almost like being in high school again, isn't it? lol

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

[quote=Coff;1125077]Grant fell down trying to readjust to the throw being nowhere near where he thought it was going to be. The ball was not thrown to where the receiver was. Either Grant ran the wrong route or Cousins read it wrong; either way it's too early to know; we're going to have to hear how it is explained in the post game.[/quote]

That is what I thought. It seemed everyone was running curl routes (including the inside receiver) but Kirk threw it to the outside which surprised Grant.

I would like to hear the play call as well.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

Kirk had one of those weird up and down performances today. He made some big clutch throws, but then was also pretty inaccurate in sports on throws where we had WR's wide open. When I try to make sense of Kirk I think the biggest question I have is "How long into his development is he?"

His issue doesn't seem to be lack of knowledge of the offense, as he is usually making the correct reads, but his delivery of the ball was just not there today. Throwing high, throwing behind.

Also, what happened to this team's running game? How did our O-line seemingly go from a run blocking beast but bad in pass protection to the exact opposite? Are defenses stacking the box because they don't fear the passing attack?

The defense? Hard to be upset at all with them despite giving up that drive in the 4th quarter. They held this game in check for well long enough that gave the offense a chance to do something, anything to extend their lead.

What it looked like to me was that Grant falling down and Kirk's throw were not 100% related to why the INT happened.

It looked like Kirk rushed a throw because he felt pressure. This is one flaw in Cousins's game that we saw more last season, and a little bit this season. He feels pressure and looks to avoid the sack so he will hurry a throw before a target is out of their break, which leaves the ball in no man's land or in this case, in the defender's hands unfortunately.

If Grant does not fall down, I am still not convinced it is a catch. Maybe he gets a hand on it and it goes incomplete, maybe there is no INT, or at least no return yards on the INT, but that ball was throw way wide.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

No reason to be mad or down about this game most people had us losing big. Skins are at least competitive this yr. We all said 7 wins would be an improvement so I don't see y anyone would be shocked with a loss on the road to a 5-0 team

More like Middle School D-Rave. HTTR tough loss but I kinda starting to grow on this defense a little. Just a little

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

The great - we are way better than last year.

The good - missing some guys, minus the last drive in 4th quarter, defense played well.

The bad - the decision to play prevent defense on the road against a loaded offense. Show some originality, dial up some pressure, aka man up! Cousins accuracy. It leaves a lot to be desired.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

HOW ABOUT THIS SIMPLE TRUTH!! WE LOST TO A DAMN BETTER TEAM..they are 5-0 we were 7 point underdogs and took it to overtime..dang it some of you fans just don't get it..all you want to do is blow the team up every year and start over.

Yes but in those two instances the game was on the line. The wr screen? Ok I can sort of live with that since it worked before. But to sit back in a soft zone when there was plenty of time for Atl to drive down the field was plain stupid. You have to play some man there and maybe send a little pressure. Try and win it over play not to lose. Just inexcusable.

Agree! I think the Skins have turned the corner and are moving forward .It was a great game and I realize it doesn't make anyone feel better but the Skins are for real and it's a long season as I have always said it's where you finish that matters.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

We had the game in hand and just could not seal the deal. Kirk did not have the best day and the Run game was.....ill
Still, we damn near put enough together on the backs of our Defense (several of whom were enjoying their first NFL start) which was....devoid of several key players. Not to mention injuries to key offensive guys...
I'm ok with it
Last year we would have coughed it up on the bad side of 34-3
We DAMN near have a Football team.......HTTR

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

I think we're close but still searching for a winning formula

Sometimes playcalling is sharp sometimes not

Sometimes we get pass rush sometimes not

Ditto penalties, explosive plays, etc

22 carries in a ballgame this close doesn't meet the standard for me

Have to be more creative with the run game, less predictable....run from spread formations not just base on 1st down...surprise them with pass on 1st...don't be afraid to call back to back runs.....mesh the base pass offense and the base run offense to function from some of the same formations...don't be afraid to run against 8man fronts we did it against the Rams and seemed to put that game plan on the shelf...give A RB enough carries to get a rhythm. I don't care anymore if its Alf or Jones but give 1 of them the bulk

Gotta get better in the run game if we're gonna win this year

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

Lets go Pats and 9ers. We can wake up tomorrow tied for 1st.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

Just saw the Freeman catch that was overturned. How was that NOT a catch. unbelievable.

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

I listened to the first half but my kids had races in the afternoon so I missed most of second half. During first half thought D played well, O was off though. When KC was placing the ball Garcon had some crucial drops. KC still struggled with some accuracy and the running game just couldn't get it going. Bottom line we had an opportunity to walk away with more than 7 pts in the first and we just couldn't finish the deal.

Right call according to the rule

Re: Redskins v. Falcons Gameday Thread
 

[quote=Mattyk;1125136]Right call according to the rule[/quote]

Then the rule is wrong. He took two steps, he launched/lunged for the TD, and he had clear control of the ball when he brought it back to his body. I don't know how the rule should be written, only that it needs to be written in such a way that a rational replay view can call that a touchdown.

I still believe that the answer is full time refs with rational rules. Having competent full time refs that look at enough tape that they "know it when they see it", and rules that allow for the obvious right call to be made would make the game more enjoyable.

They giving the team a chance to win every week!! The head coach suppose to be a offense guru.
