The good, the bad, and the ugly from Redskins vs. Seahawks | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

—The postgame locker room atmosphere was not exactly festive but in the opinion of many in the media there was too much laughter and joking around going on among players for a team that just lost to fall to 1-4. You don’t necessarily want the atmosphere to be funeral-like after a loss but it should be a bit more somber than it was.

<sigh> Definitely a negative...
Why was the defense so night and day at times? If we weren't forcing one of our 9 3-and-outs, we were letting Wilson and Lynch walk all over us. That said, the defense played well enough to win. Meanwhile, the offense outside of Jackson was at very best mediocre, and that dumb little squib kick thing concocted by Forbath and Gruden was part of the reason.
I laugh at the people who are saying we should have went for it on 4th down deep in their territory. WTF is really all I can say. You take those points and you be happy against the best defense in the league. When our defense had a chance to stop the Seahawks on 3rd-and-4 late in the game with us down by only 7, I was extremely grateful Gruden had taken the points. It was the smart thing to do.
Loved DeSean Jackson. If not for him, this game would have been a blowout. And this was against a good defense... I thought he disappeared against good defenses? <sarc>
Morris fumbles more than a lot of backs, but he's still young. In AP's first three years, he fumbled a total of 19 times. Morris has a ways to go to reach that.
Pierre, Pierre...
On to Arizona. We've been competitive in every loss so far except New York, and that was partially at least due to the injuries. Our depth is better than last year, but the injuries have killed us. I'm guessing we'll be really close to full health against the Cardinals. Definitely a winnable game.
