It was very frustrating watching RGIII play. He missed a ton of open receivers.
It's mental for RGIII.

This... this is the most damning part of the game.
I made fun of the 'abandon the run' crowd under the Shanahan regime because when you actually look at the drive logs and consider the context of the way the games were going they weren't abandoning the run, they were doing what was working and appropriate for the time.
But today... the passing game wasn't working. Griffin looked slow and confused. Watt looked like he was joined at the hip with Griffin. It wasn't just bad passing, it was bad plays for losses.
We have that one series that resulted in a TD, and our offense opens the next series with a WR reverse for a 9 yard loss.
Bad, bad play calling. The run game was working incredibly well and we couldn't do anything in the passing game, the game was close until the end. Bad coaching.
