[QUOTE=sdskinsfan2001;1293731]McKissic is one of the most unknown really good football players in the NFL. He is an absolute stud for us. Give that man an extension.[/QUOTE]


He is the x factor. Came up huge last year too. Always in big spots. McKissic is an absolute gamer.

[QUOTE=CRedskinsRule;1293725]I think the refs saw Ryan's head kick up and called it. Was a bad call, but even a worse choice by Chase. He could have wrapped Ryan up rather than the forearm, or he could have used open palms and pushed Ryan out/down. Either way he set himself up for the penalty with the elbow placement.

100 percent he did. And if you watch again he thrusts it in that direction- also agree last year he would have made a big play there perhaps a strip sack. He is not the same. When someone like that is this far off and consistently for four games it is a code red problemo. Someone has to work with him to fix him and if that someone isn’t on the staff well than adjustments have to be made to the staff.

[quote=calia;1293716]I see we had 6 penalties for 85 yards. Geez that’s a bad ratio. The replay on Chase’s penalty is unreal - the league should be shamed of itself for that one.

Well I'd say at least 3 of the penalties were bad calls. The first 2 long pass interference calls and Chase's sack were bad calls. (Ironically the pass interference late in the game that they picked up flag on probably shouldn't have been picked up).

Re: Falcons postgame
 

I cant believe that call man, and it was late as fuck. It was almost like the league did that on purpose

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1293724]This is why I don't understand why they played their last possession, before we took the lead, so conservatively. Their offense was kicking our defenses ass all game and their defense wasn't really stopping us at all. Why would they neuter their offense that was dominating, to trust their defense, that was not? Coaches just love playing it safe even if the whole game says otherwise.[/quote]

Yep. Smith started coaching like he didn't want to win the game.

Re: Falcons postgame
 

I'll take 2-2. I'll take the W. I'll take the Heinicke excitement along the ride, that's fun to watch.

Positives: OL, McKissick, McLaurin, Carter for the KO return TD (how long had it been before this one?)

Negatives: [I]This. Defense. Sucks. Ass.[/I]

The call on CY might be a little ticky tacky, but it is an elbow to the head and neck area, or close to it, and you know [I][U]in 2021's NFL, it's gonna be a flag 90% of the time.[/U][/I] How about going for a [I][U]good ol football form tackle[/U][/I] ? As has been said, he's not in a good mental space right now, that's a typical example of "oh imma blow him out it's gonna look good in the highlights" vs making what you're supposed to do. Then you see him running to check his guys after the play is over on TFLs he had nothing to do with while his squad has given up 30 points to a bad offense.
[I][U]This is partly on the coaching staff, he's a kid[/U][/I], get him in the right place, he is clearly not right now.

One last thing, let's not act like we didn't get many breaks too. That [I][U]flag on McTyer[/U][/I] doesn't get picked up 98% of the time. Falcons [I][U]dropped many balls[/U][/I], and [I][U]at least 3 easy INTs[/U][/I], including one in the endzone...

Re: Falcons postgame
 

People picking on the int's dropped, I have three thoughts:
1) we have seen lots! of cb's drop ints. As has been said, that's why they are CB's not WR's

2) nearly all of us wanted our qb's the last few years to put the ball up and give our WR's a chance. That's why 50/50 balls are called 50/50 balls.

3) On at least one of the "dropped" ints, McLaurin did the job of a receiver and broke up the int when he couldn't pull it in.

Finally, we had 0 turnovers, no fumbles, no ints. That's the stat that counts, not the almost's or shoulda coulda's

Yeah agree. McCain had an int (CY questionable call), Holcomb made an awesome play but the ref blew the fuckin whistle too early to negate a fumble, and Fuller dropped a tip ball int…end the end, zero turnovers by both teams.

I just love the fight by TH, Terry and the rest of the offense. I think we scored two TD in the last 6 minutes of the game to win it. Boom, that’s good shit man.

Re: Falcons postgame
 

William Jackson and Landon Collins are expensive busts, I haven't seen shit from Jackson except getting burned constantly. Both Suck!! Time to cut Hopkins too.

Re: Falcons postgame
 

Yeah our DBS are garbage right now. Fuller has been toast all season too

Re: Falcons postgame
 

I’m watching a defensive line that to a man generates zero pressure, and a secondary that can’t cover a twin bed with a king sized sheet, and so many people think replacing JDR will do anything. Lol. I’m not saying del Rio is doing a good job, but this defense has got to be one of the least talented Washington defenses I’ve ever seen.

As for Heinicke. Man oh man. The guy is a total gamer, constantly engineering drives in clutch situations and everyone is talking about what he can’t do. Jesus Christ, he’s had five career starts. We’re complaining that he’s taking to long to go through his progressions? He’s missing open receivers? Yeah. He’s had five career starts. My goodness.

Re: Falcons postgame
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;1293758]Yeah our DBS are garbage right now. Fuller has been toast all season too[/quote]

At least he has made a few plays here and there, McTyer, Jackson, Collins and McCain haven't done shit. Again, Jimmy Moreland should have been kept. I would cut Collins tomorrow and start Reaves.

Re: Falcons postgame
 

Fuller been bad. But Collins and Bostic should be benched. Even cut. They don’t help.

I can’t believe how incompetent Ron and the front office didn’t upgrade the LB. we got 5 strong safeties and not one free safety, big mistake by the front office again. McCain hasn’t been good. He blew the long td coverage and missed multiple tackles. He can get the fuck off the team too.

Seriously, Moreland played a lot better in slot than Fuller.

These dumb fucking coaches. Last year Everett, Curl and Reaves were much better than McCain and Collins at Safety. It’s not a fuckin argument

Re: Falcons postgame
 

Judon tonight is what we need from CY

Re: Falcons postgame
 

I am done with the defense. They were supposed to be the strength but they aren't. Clearly the offense needs to put up 35 or better to win. The good thing is that they have shown the ability to put points on the board and with Samuel's getting on the field it clearly made a difference.

We have taken the Cowboys plan from last year... Crazy.

You're right it's not like dropped INTs are a complete fluke or should be considered certainty to go the other way.

I was mentioning it mainly for those saying we were somehow robbed by the Zebras, like we got many breaks too, and also to be aware that Heinicke is playing in an exciting to watch but dangerous way, and in some games those INTs won't get dropped.

We got away a bizarre win, I'll take it as a W, we probably won't get any other type of Ws this season anyway.

Re: Falcons postgame
 

I really hope Logan is OK. He is a huge part of our offense. Gonna be tough to go without him if he misses a significant amount of time.

I didn't see much of the game, watching on Redzone, but was it just me that got the impression the D walked off the field after that play and all but ignored him lying in pain in the EZ? Was it just the way the broadcast focussed on the guys coming off or did guys go back out to check on him?

If they didn't I'm beginning to think there's a culture problem on D (what with the lack of hussle already highlighted).

Maybe just in part due to being lost in the moment, don't think they have that kind of culture problem, think you are looking for culture issues where ther are none. There are issues, everyone is baught in apparently and yet the results remain bad, not a case of them not giving a crap about each other though IMO.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember last year that after Collins went out with his injury is really when our defense started putting the pieces together. I'm sure that's the correlation, and not the causation....but I distinctly remember the units gelling more after he wasn't back there anymore.
The lbs needed help in the off-season, but wasn't addressed. We all knew that. Dl was the strong point, and our secondary got the job done down the stretch last year. On paper we had 1 weak unit.
They have seemed to regress exponentially. It's a real head scratcher.
Offense is producing way better this year. Makes sense with the upgrades, and having a qb that is at least average by nfl standards. Our qb carousel is a joke, but even more so the last 3 years.
This team is really hard to have any kind of expectation for. I thought we would come into the year as 9-8/8-9 +/-. Now I'm afraid we are 3-12 4-13 +/-.

Re: Falcons postgame
 

I've been critical of Heinicke but his leading that game winning drive was great. Unfortunately the D is still bad and had ATL had 20 more seconds Heinicke's efforts would have been for not.

On a side note, I listened to the broadcast on the radio for the first time in maybe 2 years, it was a tough listen. Julie Donaldson is terrible and MeAngelo Hall isn't much better. This is a far cry from the days of Sonny, Sam, and Frank.

You are not wrong.... the correlation being Curl bringing coverage ability to the SS position and Everett and Reeves working on the back end when Apke was benched. They got abused in the first 8 weeks, much like now, but they also played many more good teams early in the season

Washington's offense finally with several big plays in a game.

Taylor Heinicke had 4 deep completion today (20+ air yards). Per
@NextGenStats
, that's the most deep completions by a Washington QB in a game since Kirk Cousins had 4 in Week 17, 2016.

7 plays of 20+ yards today
