Let RGIII improve over the bye along with the Defense Oh and we get some people back after the bye dont we? Don't count us out yet

At this time....RG3= average NFL QB. He had Moss open for a TD and overthrew him, doesn't stay with the plays long enough, but on a few he really hung in there and made some nice throws, on others the line just broke down and he had to run for his life. Made a great play to Helu. Just watching it from the game, the entire offense just looks dysfunctional.

RGIII telegraphs his throws way too much by staring down his receivers. Defenders are reading his eyes and thereby get good jumps on the ball. Perhaps this is a result of the fact that RGIII has yet to have a normal NFL off-season to work on such things. But he won't be elite until he learns to use his eyes differently.

This. His tunnel vision toward his first read is also killing drives, where the 2nd or 3rd option is wide open but RG misses it. I swear moss is open more than any other offensive player on the field.

Man a win can make the kool aid taste good

Cowher won't go to a team that he has to build. He's old. And I doubt he coaches again anyway

Enough talkin' about the Giants (sorry Giantone! )

Glad to see the 'skins win. They needed it, badly! Looks like the stars might be aligning for them. Possibly playing for the division lead in two weeks? Things are wide open in this sucky division.

Here are the guys I'm impressed with: Amerson, Orakpo, and of course, Kerrigan. On offense, Helu, Morris (before he left the game), Hankerson, and of course, Garcon.

Still very disappointed with our linebackers and the tackling. They made the Raider's third string running back look like a pro bowler.

Griffin struggled. The offense was pretty anemic until the later part of the second half. Things have to greatly improve if the 'skins expect to go into Dallas and beat the Cowboys in two weeks. Thank God for the bye week!

griffin hasn't played lights out but neither has Wilson, Luck Or CK either.

Haslett still needs to be fired. We played a depleted raiders offense. Sure we looked good, but I'm still thinking of the Eagles, Packers and Lions putting up huge numbers on our defense. If we had played Oakland week 1 we'd all be in agreement he should be fired now. But because we have the taste of a win some fans are like " well..you know we did look good yesterday so maybe he should stay.."

No, you fire him. One good game doesn't make up for 3 bad defensive games. I don't care about the timing, it's the results I care about and we've had one good result and three bad results. Fire him now while we have 2 weeks to tweak and do whatever with the defense rather than midway through the season when you screw up more than just the defense but the teams whole mindset.

That's been the trouble with finger pointing. as soon as we have Haslett condemned, the defense has a stellar day and Kyle becomes inept. We shift focus to Kyle and Haslett reverts.
The team won against a more struggling team. Had we lost, I had my pitch fork and torches burning for weeks ready to storm the castle, but we didn't. If we lose to Dallas and or Chicago, we can pretty much pack in the season. However, if we don't, the division becomes less distant and they could set sights on getting there but it will have to make these games count.
If we get through Dallas and Chicago, we can take lumps in Denver, rebound with SD (section 221), Minn, Phil, and all of sudden these games have REAL value towards the division.
I see Denver, SF, KC, ATL as only being able to lose 3 of the 4 and the team has to fight its way through the division and elsewhere to finish 10-6.

At least for the next 2 weeks I have a glimmer of hope that hasn't been crushed.
The one thing this team is fairly well at is- knowing the path ahead and getting wins, when the Cowboys, Giants, and eagles are also known to string a bunch of losses and fail.
We just have to knock out some mighty teams and I hope with Jackson and Jenkins, Robert is getting healthy and ready to whoop some ass.
That's all I got for today- optimism

they turned the sack attack up to level 11.

griff is looking more like his healthy self each week.

if we improve the open field tackling; we're on our way.

For those keeping track

Our offense ranks 9th in the NFL.

Defense ranks 31st (with Philly being the worst)

But we rank 2nd in the league in sacks with 15. Only Kansas City has more with 18

Just curious....what's our offense in converting 3rd downs? Or scoring? We had 3 points at halftime against Oakland.

Im curious why the offense is garbage the first half? Why are starting so slow and why RG3 has the worst QB rating in the first half in the league outside of Jacksonville?

Why does Kyle and the offense look completely unprepared the first half of games? Anybody?

Because honestly we don't have much talent on O, Morris and Griff and Garcon.. thats it
