I honestly think he has no control of this offense at this point in his career. I almost think he is confused out there.

There is a reason the great QB's want as many reps as possible before the season starts.

Very true. He just doesnt look like the same player as last year.

The offense was trash yesterday, I think we all can agree on that. Every part of it except a half decent run game that the Skins decided to abandon when they were up by two scores was just atrocious.

I will say this about the defense, even though I think they played well for a little more than half... For some reason when the Broncos started to make a comeback the DB'S and LB's were playing off the receivers. It seemed that Manning went 5-8 yards every completion and then easily scored touchdowns. It was just easy quick outs, hitches, and slants the entire way down. The defense never dared Manning to throw deep.

When they were physical with the receivers they created turnovers against Peyton Manning in probably his best year in his career, and the Broncos offense was pretty average.

I guess when it works this team decides to abandon it...

I agree with Garcon, our passing offense sucks.

it tough to throw when the pass scheme is too go long with bad pass protection.

But was Kyle going to adjust to quick read, 3 step drops? of course not. Screen game or draws? Of course not. Or how about just stick with running the ball

That is some thing a good team like the Broncos or Packers would have done. Not the Redskins.

Redskins basically seem to think if it is working they are going to try to stop it so do something else, and if it doesn't work they would never think you would be daring to do it again so why not keep doing the same thing that has not worked.

It's this stupid mentality of "putting the ball away by throwing a deep bomb". I'm sick of this stupid play calling. I'm sick of seeing the team on a 2nd or 3rd short situation and throwing a 30 yd pass inaccurately b/c RG3 is running for his life, he's throwing into double coverage, or it is overthrown by 10 yds.

This loss bothered me a lot more than I thought it would. I am really bummed out about the way it happened. In particular, I'll never understand why we went away from the run in this game. How could that happen after we doninated them with the run in the first half and then took a two touchdown lead in the 3rd Quarter?

When we closed the half with a time-consuming 95-yard TD drive featuring a dominating rushing attack, I thought that was the veritable model of how to beat the Broncos. There, on the sidelines, sat the great Petyon Manning and the rest of the Broncos' explosive offense - right where we wanted them. By the time the Broncos got the ball back, there were only seconds left in the half and they did a kneel down to end the half. That was perfect!

Then, things got even better in the second half when the D rose up and provided us with a two touchdown lead! At that point, I could envision the Skins shoving the ball down the Broncos throats by continuing to run the ball - shades of Joe Gibbs, John Riggins, and The Hogs. I had that grand old feeling again!

Then, out of the blue, no more rushing. I couldn't and don't and will never understand how Kyle Shanahan could have abandoned the running game when it was clearly the key to winning the game!

Well, the bottom line is that I've lost faith Kyle Shanahan and, by extension, Mike Shanahan. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if Dan Snyder allows Mike to finish out his contract or that Mike would continue to keep his own son Kyle employed as OC. Regardless, I'll continue to support the Skins. But I tell you now, fellow Redskins fans, we're going to suffer because of it.

For one thing, we're going to continue to see Kyle take us out of games with stupid playcalling. Also, and this is the worst part, Kyle is going to get RGIII seriously injured. All RGIII should have had to do on most second half plays was to hand off, thus taking no hits. Then, the devil whispered in Kyle's ear.

Bottom line his dad needs have some balls and yank the play call sheet from his hand.

Yeah Kyle sucks at play calling period. He literally is never consistent and his plays are very predictable. Also I'm beyond tired of this WR in the backfield shit.

I don't understand this desire by certain coaches to pass the ball when they have a good running game. Baltimore is a good example of a team that has a good running game, yet insists on being a pass first team.

I also don't understand why our coaches don't adapt to the reality that we have a subpar offensive line. They are easily right now our worst unit on the team.

I think it's just because even the most efficient rushing offenses in the NFL don't put up a lot of points because it's difficult to get yards in chunks.

There was a run Morris had yesterday to the left where he broke a tackle and got to the outside, and a more explosive runner might have been able to get past the safety and take it the distance. But for Morris, it was only a productive run of 15+ yards. And ultimately, that's why they have to throw for their points. Even when the running game is working great, like it was yesterday, its still complementary.

I think it's give and take w/ Morris. Yeah he may not break off Chris Johnson type of runs, but he also makes yards when yards are not there. Besides, all the best offenses throw for their points.

Morris is very, very, very good. He's just as good as he was last year. In some ways, better. But he's just a complementary player. Morris can be this awesome, and it won't prevent the Redskins from going 4-12 if they can't get production out of anyone else.
