[quote=Bucket;841146]I understand your frustrated, but what would Beck do tonight that Rex didn't? The play call was average on both sides of the football. WR's were not open, and the 3rd and 21 blitz call was an awful play call against a team that has limited options at WR.

In reality we basically have 2 WR's that are possesion WR's and a deep threat at TE who got locked down tonight.

I'm not being a douche bag, i'm being a realist, but you calling for the backup QB when we are 2-1 is just being a dumb shit, and that's my opinion..[/quote]Calling for Beck in this situation is not being a dumb shit. Here's reality, we're probably not making the playoffs this year and if we do and play a quality team we'll get bounced. We know who Rex is, he's a streaky player who makes too many mistakes. He doesn't make the right reads and get the ball out under pressure on a consistent basis.

We don't know who Beck is. Did he crap himself in the TB game, yes. IMO that's why Rex is starting. We need to see if Beck can be anything, if he can, we've solved our QB problem. If not we're in the same situation in the off-season as we are now....still needing a legit starting QB.

People can say Beck is garbage, but we don't know. He won't be any worse than Grossman has been.

I also felt we just got tired and winded in the second half. We seemed pretty crisp in the first, handled their pass rush -- but there was a meltdown late -- just didn't seem to have the same intensity.

Running game?????

Re: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

and then ESPN cuts back to Steve Young busting his balls, saying he looks like a little kid.

Re: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

so, uh, how long before Witten and Romo go ahead and get married, forming the basis for "Brokeback Mountain 2?"

Re: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

[quote=NC_Skins;841180]I agree with this. I blame the coaches more than I do Rex for this game. What the **** was Haslett thinking going on a all out blitz on a 3rd and 21 when you KNOW your CBs are mediocre at 1-1 coverage. Mind boggling. That in itself sealed the game. I think they should have ran more screen passes to counter the blitzes. I saw nothing really special from the play calling. Haslett did do a good job for the most part tonight, his one mistake came at the worst possible moment.[/quote]What was he thinking? That's easy. He was thinking that they haven't blocked it all day.

Was it a bad call? I think it probably was. Did the play fail because of the call? Hardly. Romo could have bought time just as easily against a four man rush.

We don't disguise nearly as well as the Steelers, but we clearly have the talent that they do on defense. That ability to confuse the QB is worth a lot. We won a lot of small battles with Romo tonight, but when push came to shove in the 4th, he had Haslett's number for sure. But that's what Romo does.

[quote=NC_Skins;841185]It's a trend? Another guy on ES actually did research on D. Smith's special teams and had the numbers/facts to prove his point about the special teams. Needless to say, it wasn't good.[/quote]

Well if some guy on ES said it, then it must be true

Seriously though, what sort of trend is there that shows this is Smith's fault?

[quote=SFREDSKIN;841169]A lot of folks here sound like a bunch of whiners, it was a tough game and the skins are a hell of lot better than last year, this is not the end of the world, I see them contending for the division.[/quote]Dallas played like they were trying to throw the game. If this is a tough game, we are in deep trouble.

Re: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

We got exposed by a really bad Dallas team. At least, Dallas will get smoked by the Lions next week.

This could be the game that sends us down Suck for Luck Street. Its a must-win game for the Rams next week. We could be in big trouble. Why are we so bad in the red zone?

Re: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

Yeah... You can't win them all..

Let's go 3-1!!! We need it after this lost.

I didn't say because some guy on ES said it. I said the facts and numbers were posted in regards to special teams. It wasn't just a dude calling for D. Smith to be fired.

Why does any coach get fired for Smoot? It's called accountability. Why does a coach get fired when his team goes 1-15? Is he out there throwing the passes? Making the tackles? Kicking the field goals? It's not his fault so why is he fired? Because he's held responsible for the play of his team. By in far, our special teams have sucked the past couple years. To say otherwise is...well...having your head buried in the sand.

we all get the 2 hr rule after a game like this. Crazy shit will be forthcoming until further notice.
