[QUOTE=WillH;1174422]Cowboys looked bad.



Anyone else feel like KC and Oak look beatable?



I think we probably match up better vs KC, but it's an away game.



If we can go into the bye 2-2 I think that's a good start to this season, we can come out of he bye against SF and then get some payback against Philly and we are 4-2.[/QUOTE]



Depends on what Redskins team shows up. The defenses we are playing are pretty nasty - and the Chiefs D could create headaches for our O line. Raiders are a notch below but stout. Taking 1 of those will be a barometer if we can pull it off.

[quote=mooby;1174388]Words to live by. I have respect for that offense, but Dak thrives because he's got a nasty o-line, 1 elite and multiple solid receivers, and a stud running back taking pressure off of him. I suspect many teams will look at the Broncos gameplan today and try to force Dak to win games without leaning on Zeke. Then again the Broncos D is nasty so it remains to be seen how well teams can duplicate their gameplan.[/quote]

This game was the longest I've had to take a look at Dak, and I'll give him credit for taking what's there, but damn, I don't think he's a good QB at all.
Just average at best. Even the slightest bit of pressure and he was overthrowing people BAD.

I don't think he ever had to be more than a game manager until yesterday, he's always had great support around him. Hopefully we'll see how good he really is now.

Giants suck! I guess eagles are the team to beat.

Watching MNF at Hooters with a couple Cowboys fans and Giants fans and a fellow Skins fan. The shit talking is HOF level.

Re: Around the NFL Week 2.
 

Gibbs wouldn't let any of the players cross the line. That's amazing. And he still won every week. He was awesome to his players and his replacement players. GOAT!

Re: Around the NFL Week 2.
 

Giants, Cowboys and Eagles all lost on a week where we won. That doesn't happen nearly often enough.

That 30 for 30 was awesome. I remember that first replacement game at RFK where Ed Rubbert was dropping dimes to Anthony Allen. I believe that he still holds the single game record as a Redskins for receiving yards in a game. I don't think it's acknowledged. And then of course the huge upset Mon night when the Cowboys have 21 regulars playing. That was such a great time to be a Redskin fan.

It's pretty clear so far that the Giants are bad, I mean they can't score at all. 13 points in 2 games against 2 avg at best defenses. Yikes.

young players who have always had success when they come face to face with adversity and failure...its always a question how they respond. Dick Gobbler has had everything given to him and has received nothing but praise since the start of him playing football. OSU, Rookie on a high profile team such as Dallas...Sunday was very telling. As well as his behavior off the field. He feels like he can do anything he wants.

No they aren't bad ,they stink,if this proves anything it proves the Giants must dump Reese! But I will say those Defense's are better than thought.

Re: Around the NFL Week 2.
 

in the 2nd quarter with 3:30 minutes left Eli was under pressure, and just collapsed. He wasn't touched, he went down on his own. My son and I watched it several times in slow motion. He's a big Eli fan, and just blamed the line period, but Eli absolutely just dropped.

I tried to cue the play up, but never know with NFL vids
edit: you will have to watch on youtube. the play happens at the 4:30 mark on the video.

He did that against Dallas too where he would collapse when he felt pressure. I don't think he used to, but he definitely is an easy sack this year.

McAdoo sounded bad throwing Eli under the bus...not a good look. There is no question about it.

Brandon Marshall is done...he looking effing terrible and he doesn't care anymore. Why not invest in the RB position or Oline instead of getting Marshall? Makes no sense

Interesting article, but given my general disdain for Yahoo "news" I would not be surprised if it comes out he was paid by the NFL to give voice to this piece.

I think NFL PR would not be too happy about this line:

"There are also cases of opioid overdose deaths where the brains show signs of early aging, including tau accumulation."

Opioids are not as big of an issue in the NFL as are concussions, but there have been some rumblings about its use by teams and the health consequences. This has also been brought up by former players advocating to use alternatives (such as medicinal marijuana).

Can't blame Tom Coughlin this time.

Re: Around the NFL Week 2.
 

Just looking at the power rankings ( I know, I know . . . Why?) and they're such crap. Dallas gets jocked no matter what. SMH

Anyways, this is from ESPNs on the Redskins (17th up from 24th):

"Washington can be a force when its rushing attack gets going. Over the past three seasons, the Redskins are 15-2-1 when rushing for at least 90 yards as a team (3-13 when they don't). The 229 rushing yards Sunday against the Rams were Washington's second most in that span."

That stat is, Wow ... just wow!

So, if Thompson, Perine, and Brown (while Kelly is out) can keep this going, it looks like we can overcome our struggles at WR.

This is pretty hilarious. Idc about looking bad in the media on this one, we already look bad for the whole RG3 fiasco. I'm glad we drafted Kirk, otherwise it could be a hell of a lot worse.

I'm still not sure on McAdoo but Jerry Reese should be fired right now ,this week!The O line has been Eli's problem now for three years and as you can see he is gun shy now ,he hears people coming when they aren't,the run game has suffered as much as Eli has but with all that said Eli fuck up down on the one and letting the play clock run out.The Defense needs to wake up too, piss poor tackling ,same thing on special teams ....it's freaking fundamentals.The pass rush is there but we have no linebackers,none .McAdoo's play calling was absolutely some of the worst I have ever seen.

Doesn't come up but yeah he did it,I saw it.

I honestly don't fault Eli there, he knows he's not going to escape so why risk taking a big hit. QBs take sacks all the time.

On the Dallas sacks I agree, but this one, had he stayed up there was space for him to run or pass. He might even have scrambled for the first down, there was that much open space in front of him. (I know open space closes fast in the NFL)

I am leaving work early today to take a nap so I am all fresh for the TNF game tonight.

SF vs. LAR; BAM! Can't wait.

Seriously is the worst matchup every week just automatically the TNF game.

It's yet another shitty TNF matchup but I'm kind of looking forward to McVay vs Shanahan

[quote=MTK;1174673]It's yet another shitty TNF matchup but I'm kind of looking forward to McVay vs Shanahan[/quote]

I'm interested in that aspect too, but also just to see another game to gauge how good the Rams are. Like, did we beat a shitty team or a mediocre one? That helps inform us in making a judgment on the Redskins - how good are we?

Did we need a final TD drive in the 4th quarter to beat a 4-12 type team, or did we need it to beat a 9-7 type team?

If they're a 9-7 team they'll wax the 49ers.

Of course the 49ers pushed the Seahawks pretty hard so WTF do I know about them? I guess I'm a junkie too, lol.
