[quote=Takeuon;749207]I like the guy, but he had at least 3-4 errant throws....especially a few of those deep balls.[/quote]

Ok WTF you want Jason Campbell back then?

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

yep, Gano missed a sure fire FG to hve the game tied.

Wish we would have been a little more aggresive on Offense with the pass. We saw some of that in the fourth.

And yes another foot over the safties head and we win by 4.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

Good effort by the team, but there's no "W" to show for so it's just a good effort and that's it. I think this team has a lot of talent and that's what pisses me off the most. If they hold on to those INTs, make better decisions in key situations, and take advantage of turnovers better, they get the "W".

Honestly, we can bitch about Rogers, but I guess it could be worst...he could be giving up passes instead of almost getting INTs.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

yes we have to be pleased as fans for the team plays hard never gives up and has and are in position to win credit the coaching staff for putting the team in this position we have reason to be optimistic

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

No reason to be down in the dumps guys. We had plenty of chances and didn't take advantage of them. Not to shabby against the Colts.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

We had our chances in this one. Pretty much how I thought it would go, I thought it would be a 3 point game either way.

[quote=Hail to the Redskins;749206]Hey... 27-24 vs Colts is all good and dandy...

but 2 big disappointments for me thusfar...

Donovan McNabb & Jim Haslett...

McNabb just does weird stupid stuff at weird times that can make you want to pull your hair out, is completing 50-some % of his passes and is now in 6 games - 5 TDs, 5 INTs.

and Hasletts defense is good for 400 yards allowed to EVERYONE, not just the awesome Colts. At least our defensive guys will be in great shape by the end of the year with how many snaps they play every game.[/quote]

How is McNabb a disapointment?? And our D can give all the yards they want as long as they don't give up points.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

I am listening to the post game show and Mitchell is crazy. We had a chance to win on the last drive, proir to our last drive. I dont know what more he could ask for. Our defense did what they needed to do. They lost, because the offense did not score.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

I feel like this team is so close all over the place. It just isn't clicking 100%. I guess that's to be expected with basically entirely new offensive and defensive schemes plus a major overhaul on the offensive personnel side. If we can stay healthy we are a dangerous team.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

Weirdly enough this is the best I've felt after a loss. We were only a couple HELD interceptions to winning this bad boy. Felt nice to see Armstrong and Torain show some promise for the future.

Don't get carried away. I'm just stating the facts. IMO McNabb made some poor choices is all

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

[quote=SirClintonPortis;749212]Does it matter? He's going to be an UFA sooner than later, and I just can't see them agreeing to a deal. Turnovers are a way of preventing points, and he just doesn't grab enough of them.[/quote]

Well his first job is to cover. If he walks they better have someone that is just as good in coverage.

He's still learning the system. It's weird but he does seem to have moments of brilliance. If he stays healthy then I think you're going to see a huge jump next year. This year though he'll probably end up with an 85 QB rating. However he's so good at throwing the ball deep that it really makes you look twice at his average QB Rating numbers. Also when you look at McNabb's numbers consider this, 2 of his INT's are on hail mary's that ended a first half.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

McNabb is what he is, he makes some plays that we wouldn't in the past, but misses a few head scratchers. If their db doesn't make a spectacular grab the ball was perfect for Galloway (if he catches it)

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

Hey we play 2 NFC teams in the next 2 weeks and these games are more important so lets get focused to go 5-3 guys. GG Redskins way to play hard and tough right down to the last series.

Well unfortunately the media is going to make it sound like the Colts blew us out of the water.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

The thing that ends up pissing me off the most about losing this game, is how big next weeks game is now....and really the next two weeks. I think the Bears and Lions are two teams we should beat, but two teams I'm very afraid of at the same time, especially being on the road. I told myself I'd be happy if we could take a game from either Green Bay or Indianapolis; and I am. We won in Green Bay and played better than I thought I'd see us play against the Colts.... but now these next two games are must win. At worst we have to go 1-1, but I think we're playing well enough where we should expect to win these games....

Overall, there are lots of negative things I could harp on in terms of on the field... but Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback I've ever seen, and he does that to everyone (in the regular season at least), and I'm not upset with our defense too much... I thought this whole team played with heart, a desire to win, and I think they expected to win this football game as well. Kudos to the coaches for getting the team ready and coming out the way they did.... now follow it up the next two weeks and we could be onto something....

Looking at the rest of the division next week, Philadelphia is @ Tennessee which should be a tough game... and the Giants and Cowboys are playing on Monday Night, and we're @ Chicago. I think we have the best draw (assuming Dallas is out of it)... and while I kind of want to see NY put the Cowboys dead to rights, if we can get a win, it might be a game where we're better off having Dallas win.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

Passing game and rush defense did us in tonight. The rush defense was by systematic design: we need to tackle better, but we were willing to give up 5.0 YPC in order to keep the ball out of Peyton's hands. Too many long runs due to shoddy tackling.

We just don't have much of a passing game. We did much better in pass protection than last week, but the pocket was just never clean all night. McNabb made a bunch of errors with his arm. We ran the ball 22 times. In hindsight, it just wasn't frequent enough.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

[quote=Beemnseven;749213]Even with a secondary that can catch interceptions, the offense still has to be able to do something with it. One of the turnovers led to a FG, the other went nowhere.

Look, offensively we're just not there yet. Don't forget, this team has had a stagnant offense since about 2004.[/quote]

We had 10 pts off turnovers

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

[quote=Gtothearry;749211]I didn't like the 3rd and 1 run to the left. We could've got a yard easy on that play and kept driving.[/quote]

If you go back and look at it though, Torain had two blockers and a lot of space in front of him. One of their linebackers made a great play to knife behind everybody and stuff it.

The Colts also lined up for a push up the middle in anticipation of a run up the center, so in reality Shanahan actually called the play perfectly. It just wasn't perfectly executed.

I have no idea how you think this team has a lot of talent. You can' say anything good about the offensive line except TW looks like he'll be great. We have a terrible WR core. Our defensive secondary, LBs, and DL are all thin since the switch in schemes. We are probably stillt he oldest team in the NFL after cutting all those old players.

I think this is an overachieving team, which i'm fine with, but I have no idea how you can say this team has talent compared to other teams.

75% of the QB's would've been sacked 6-7 times tonight.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;749221]How is McNabb a disapointment?? And our D can give all the yards they want as long as they don't give up points.[/quote]

McNabb is one of those QBs who does some things that wow people and does other things that frustrates people.

And the 3-4 can be much better than what we're fielding. The good ones don't give up both yards and points. The current state of the defense certainly not what we want to keep as the status quo. We want it improved so it's comparable to the top 3-4 defenses in the league.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;749209]Totally agree. The D could have done better, the offense could have done better, but overall we were a play away from beating the Colts, which would have been an excellent feat.[/quote]

Peyton was a f***ing monster tonight and he might of had one of his best games picking apart a D, we just seemed so confused but that is what Peyton does.

Every team has talent and we have a few older players like Galloway, Daniels, Holiday, London, which makes our team appear old. we also have some nice young and up in coming players. :argue:
