Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

After a nights sleep, I still don't know what to think about this game. The cowboys had way over 5 "fumbles" (if you count the bad snaps). Only one went to the redskins. The skins couldn't get anything going offensively, but they did put points on the board and the game's only touchdown. The 3rd and 22 play was unfortunate, but they did an all out bitz and didn't get any pressure: that's going to leave someone open. Defense did well otherwise. The one poor special teams play a game reared its head again, but then Gano hit FGs from all over the place -- even a 50 yarder. I would have felt comfortable getting him in position to win the game.

I'm not going to have a knee jerk reaction (the only one that I did was deleting every facebook friend who was a cowboy) about how this team will do this season. Ugly game, cowboys found a way to win. Redskins didn't capitalize on mistakes. Still plenty of football left.

Next week is a poor Rams team. I think that is more of a test for the 'Skins then tonight was. If they dominate, don't let it be a last second ordeal, I think it bodes well that they can officially take care of bad teams.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

Ugh, just woke up, first post without reading anyone else's stuff.

Last night boiled down to 2 main areas for me, redzone offense, and the FG unit which once again found a way to screw up.

Dallas was begging for a loss last night, disappointed we couldn't deliver.

What? People overreacting? NEVER :-) It was one game, granted it sucks because it is the Cowpukes but it is one game. We learn from it and move on. One thing that is very different about this team than teams the last three to four years is they really have a confidence that they can win. We are headed in the right direction, there will be some bumps along the way but that is part of the game.

We can overanalyze this to death, already are, but we aren't going to change the outcome. Time to drink some coffee and start thinking about St Louis.

Last night was a chance to make a statement and we didn't. Would rather have been 2-1 with the loss coming to Aruzona

Agree completely.
If I were the Cowpukes I would be worried about the ineffectiveness of their Red Zone offense. Granted we were not great but neither was Dallas.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

I have already had a Cowpuke fan rubbing it my face this morning. She was lucky I kept walking esp since I had not had my coffee yet. I find them to be a funny breed. When they win they shout it from the rooftops and punch their tickets to the Superbowl, but the minute they lose they are the first to blame the loss on something or someone else or pretend they are not a Boys fan. Personally I have always found them more obnoxious than the team itself.

There is always that painful lost each year. Last year it was the Houston game, I could not shake that lost, this year it is looking like last nights game.

Because thats what you do Kyle, you put the ball in Rex's on the road ahead. Brilliant.

Dallas did everything they could to give us that game and we blew it. Good teams would have put a spear in their heart. Our Offense is obviously not as far along as I had hoped.....rebuilding is not for the faint of heart.....I might faint....sigh.

You know this is one thing that really bothers me. I know Grossman will never be a gifted athlete. But at least get your fat ass in shape. I have never been a Grossman fan, but I am quickly running out of patience for Grossman as our starter. The Cowboys near 300 pound DE chased down Grossman from behind with no problem.
For those that are saying we are 2-1 and not to worry. I am not worried because we were 6-10 last year, but we played a Giants team that was injury depleted and a Cowboys team that could not find a WR that knew the plays. They had a Safety playing CB and QB with a fractured rib. This loss was UGLY. It should have never been close to begin with.
I blame Grossman for this loss.
This bad placement on the field goal was a bad play, but we should have been ahead by two TD's at that point.
We were 6-10 last year, I say we put in Beck and see what have in him.
WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE IN GROSSMAN. He is a backup.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

The Cowboys offense had the worst performance I've ever seen (or at least i can remember) out of a group of professionals. It was bad coaching. It was bad execution. Whoever is responsible for that debacle should be fired.

And we lost. Can't believe it.

Alan Ball isn't a safety. He never really was, Dallas gave him a shot at safety last year because they had nobody else to turn to. He really is a corner.

I hear you, but not too many QB's can out run a DE when the DE has momentum. The loss was ugly. Our team is not complete though. Grossman isn't our long term answer at qb. We should of won. We outplayed them, outcoached them, out executed them and lost. Grossman had a TD and a int. Romo had a Int no Td's and at least one fumble and he won.

QBs are normally slow players. 4.8 40 times are typical of them. Anthony Spencer ran a 4.7 at the combine.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

I was very disappointed that Banks couldn't give us better field position. On more than one occasion, he fielded kicks short of the goal line and barely returned to the 15. If he's not an X Factor in the return game, Banks is a waste of a roster spot. We certainly could have used Stallworth active when Armstrong went down early.

I was thinking along the same lines with the return game, but I'm not sure it's as simple as pointing the finger at Banks.

The Cowboys kicker didn't have much distance, but he was good at getting hang time on those kickoffs, allowing his coverage to get down there.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

No one here can really believe that I am a Haslett apologist but if folks will take a deep breath for a moment, you might be able to see why he decided to make the blitz call on 3rd and 21. I am NOT saying it was a good call because it sure as Hell did not work, but recall this:
[INDENT]There was a playoff game about 6 or 7 years ago between the Eagles and the Packers. The Eagles had the ball and it was 4th and 26. If they do not convert, the game is over and they go home. The Packers rushed 3 people and dropped 8 into coverage; McNabb (folks here know who he is, right?) hit Freddy Mitchell for 26 yards and the Eagles went on to win the game and advance in the playoffs.[/INDENT]
The flip side of dropping into coverage is that you will give the other QB time in the pocket and that carries the risk of a big play.

Remember that Bryant did not catch the pass from Romo at the first down marker. Had Hall been right there to bring him down immediately, the Cowboys would have had 4th and 5 or 6 or 7. He was not in tight coverage.

Haslett took a HUGE gamble and it bit him in the ass. In retrospect, something less than "max blitz" might have been a better call.

Hall is supposed to be the guy who takes the other team's best receiver when the game is on the line. Last night DeAngelo Hall did not perform.

Blame both of them if you have to assign blame...

Obviously you'd like more balance but I don't have a problem with being aggressive in the 4th quarter. We got to 2-0 with that philosophy.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

Rex. He made 3 very bad throws fortunately he only gave up 1 pick. He was also sacked 3 times but I only put the last play of the game as a sack that was his fault. I would point to play calling as the main culprit that forces Rex into bad situations and for his sacks and somewhat for his fumbles.

2 minute drill. Seriously what the f was going on. It wasnt just the 2 minute drill it was every play, just a lack of tempo and awareness of the clock by the entire team and the coaches. Dallas had the chance to rotate 4-6 players for ever nickel situation all night long. Besides the whole lack of tempo the entire game my biggest gripe was on Gaffeny. Gaffney needs to run out of bounds when he has the chance instead of forcing the team to call a timeout.

Play calling. As someone pointed out earlier this year our zone block running game works in the open field but once we get into the redzone our running game drops off because theres nothing we can do. We need some power running schemes badly. The 3 & 21 play, yeah I get the people on Hall’s side, but honestly that was straight up inexcusable by Hasselt. It was even a all out blitz, it was a LOS containment with a couple rushing.

Snapping the ball. I don’t know what the hell was going on with dallas last night, but ive figured out why we have been real good with a lack of offside penalties, its because our snap count is as easy as it gets. Dallas and Ware in particular were jumping the snap because they knew what was up. If youre gonna use a vanilla snap count that’s fine but you got to put a hard count (or let Rex decide when to use a hard count) in there ever so often or a lack of false starts wont mean shit because we are giving up more sacks and having plays broken down from backfield penetration.

Good point. Remember how vital it was to have a fast tempo on the offense and that is one of the things McNabb could not to to the satisfaction of the Shanahans? Well, last night, the tempo was a lot more like a waltz than a disco.

It's a matter of probability. Cover-0s are easy to burn if you pick it up, and boy our cover 0s have been picked up easily. Actually, if Ogletree wasn't so pathetic, the Cowboys would have burnt us earlier in the game. And Fitzgerald also burnt our cover-0 last week. You rush three, and the QB will need to have a lot of time and luck to make that throw.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

Good point about Banks. It was a moot point ultimately, but I mentioned on that last drive he should have just downed in the end zone and saved those seconds.

I don't mind going all out on 3rd and 21. Don't play soft and let them get 10 or so yards. It was 2 down territory for the Cowboys. Go after them

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)

I think that is what hurts the most. That and having a chance to make that statement against the Cowgurls. A team that played AWFUL and still won. Hopefully we'll come back stronger and play better when they come to our place. A really good ass kicking would help erase this feeling of letdown. I hope we rip the Rams a new one.

Agreed. The best way to be aggressive is lull the defense into some complacency with a few conservative runs.

I realize losing Armstrong hurt our deep threat, but still...

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)
 

The players/coaches that deserve to be smacked are Rexy, J. Brown, and Kyle Shanahan. Rexy showed us and the national exactly why Bears and Texans let him go. Rexy often make good plays AND bad plays. Unfortunately, this time Rexy's bad plays cost us the game.

Trent Williams handled Ware pretty well last night, although he did get away with few holding penalties. But Brown could not handle Ware nor Spencer. Rob Ryan was smart to attack Brown once it was evident that Brown could not handle Ware. We might have won the game if Brown could handle Ware and Spencer on his own.

Kyle called a vanilla game last night, although he did call good plays first several series. But the offense then stalled later in the game. Granted, some has to do with Rexy's bad plays. I wished Kyle would include Davis more in the game. Not to bash on Cooley but it seemed like Cooley could not sting Dallas D with his speed as Davis would. Cooley is one of my favorite Redskins players, but I actually wished that Davis was the primary target over Cooley last night. I really believed that Davis would hurt Dallas D more. Also, I was disappointed that Kyle turned away from running game, especially right after Hightower was running good. Hightower and Helu more than often were always a break-tackle away from hitting homeruns. Kyle have to keep feeding the ball to Hightower and Helu - they will end up making big runs eventually.

Despite what many people, I actually believe Haslett called good game last night. Our D held Cowgirls offense to field goals only. Cowgirls offense could not capitalize on Redskins turnovers - Redskins D held them pretty good. Orakpo's absence in 4th quarter is evident. Although Rob Jackson made a good play, but he could not apply pressure consistently as Orakpo did. I know, Haslett made a bad call on 3 down & 21 yards, but it was sorely based on Romo's play. Romo made a great play on that play. Like Shanny said in post game interview - it happens, sometimes we call right plays and sometimes we call bad plays. Whatever happens, we move on. We should feel good about our defense, now that Landry is back. It looks like our defense will be top 10 this year, which is big jump from last year.
