Redskins-Rams: Postgame Thoughts

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

1). The run game looked awesome for the first half and really puttered out in the 2nd half.

2). Clock management was a joke; someone needs to tell the coaches that you want to KEEP timeouts when you're down in the 4th.

3). Betts' hands are nowhere near as good as as Portis' and he, along with the defense, cost us the game with his late 4th quarter fumble deep in Rams territory.

4). The pass defense is disgusting. It's the worst I've seen since the unit was coached by Edwards.

5). Sean Taylor has been playing like a 5th round draft pick, not the 5th overall pick. He's taking poor angles, blowing tackles, and isn't making the game-changing plays he was supposed to make with regularity.

But, the silver lining is that we'll have a better draft pick.

My thoughts....



F*CK!!!

Terrible pass coverage and all around secondary play.

My goats of the game...

Defense - The Rams have some great weapons on offense, but come on.
Betts - He learned a lesson about 2 hands today.
Campbell - Awful completion percentage.
OLine - I think they flew home at halftime.
Randle El - Seriously, who calls tails?
Daseal - Just because.

And depending on tiebreakers, may keep NYG out of the playoffs w/ us letting the Rams win today.

Daseal Sucks


Seriously thought...

If we get rid of Springs or Portis, I'm going to take a long hard look at myself and see if this Redskins thing is really for me. Our defense is 100% different when he is in. In addition, I dont give a fuck if Betts runs for 10,000 yards a year. He's fumbled away 2 games for us, so label me unimpressed by him.

Don't get down on Betts, he's one of the big reason's this offense has improved so dramatically recently. That being said someone needs to work with him on securing the football, but he's been better than anyone expected, offensive MVP.

I dont care. We've won 1 football game, thats all I care about. I dont give a hoot if its Osam Bin Ladin in at running back. If were winning, I'm happy.

Were not winning, I'm pissed.

He has been running through huge holes. Did you take note of what happened to his production when those holes disappeared in the second half?

Oh yes, but the Rams offense was on the field so much, that it gave their defense plenty of time to rest. Fact of the matter is, our defense is just pitiful. Losing Springs early on really hurt.

I'll agree with that. Just think, if he catches that INT on the first play, he doesn't get hurt on the second.

You're goddamn right he has, but everyone wants to give him a pass because he's behind Clinton and has had 5 straight 100 yard games, guess what? They haven't won that many of em. He's fumbled away 2 games this season on drives that should have given the team the lead. This one would have put the game away. Nice job, punk, now I'm glad you were injured for the majority of your career.

Betts fumbled away two games? That's a bunch of BS. One play does not lose any game. The defender made a great play on the strip. Sometimes you gotta tip your hat to the other team. Bulger is a really good pocket passer and he just carved up our secondary. They were just better today and made more plays. For you to attack Betts by saying your glad he was injured for the majority of his career TOTALLY CLASSLESS. As a Redskin fan you should calm your ass down before writing such stupid things.

I will agree that it is classless to wish injury on someone, I've said that a million times and only fell into that because I've been drinking. However, that play lost the game today. You can't argue that. If he just gets tackled, or puts two hands on the football, the Skins win the game. You really can't give me any kind of credible argument against that. If you say the D should have made the stop, I'll agree, but it never should have happened like that. That play cost that team the chance to put the game away. Drunk or not, you won't convince me otherwise.

Oh, and the fact that 2 potential go ahead drives this season ended with Betts fumbles, kinda supports my argument...

You just can't blame a loss on one play. It makes no sense. Yes he should not have fumbled. But honestly that was a great play by the defender and not too many RB's would have held on to the ball in that situation. The defense gave up over 500 YARDS OF OFFENSE.
