Re: Falcons at Redskins Post Game Thoughts

The Redskins are dead last in 3rd down conversion percentage (23.3%). In the Falcons game, we went a despicable 1-9 on third downs, our yearly total so far is 14-60. While we have holes in the defense and our kicker sucks, very few teams are going to win any games with such an atrocious 3rd down percentage. This crappy conversion percentage is the reason why the Saints and Bucs almost came back on us, it allowed the Rams to beat us, and it didn't help us keep up with the Bengals and the Falcons.

I don't know what the hell Kyle has can do, but we can't have any more situations where we don't convert on 3rd and short in the opponent's side of the field. I know the defense is wildly inconsistent, but we missed out on at least three quarters of our defense keeping a top offense at bay on Sunday.
