That debacle at the end was just pathetic by the refs. Never seen that before.

A perfect ending for a Shit game and season

Couple positives:

Orakpo looked great last night. Dominated Beatty

RG3 looked good and Garcon had a decent game.

Amerson has had a great rookie season, thought he was good last night.

It took Rak a while to get going this year coming off that injury but I think now it's clear we need to lock him up for the long term.

So he beat out a shitty LT. Also, didn't some of the teams the past few weeks sport backups LTs?


I'm for signing him, but it would have to be a average salary. (much like his play)

5.5 sacks the last 4 games is quality production regardless of who you are playing. He's winning the battles he should. We can't say the same for Kerrigan can we?

If Rak ends up with double digit sacks you can bet an "average" contract offer isn't going to cut it.

It would be a huge mistake to overpay him. I would not. I agree with you about Kerrigan though, guy has gone unnoticed the past 5 games.

I agree. Rak has not played great. He's been hurt 2/3 years and this year has played okay. If he wants a reasonable salary, sure. If not, I'm okay with the Rob Jackson era starting for the millions in cap space we'll save.

Let's set this straight, he missed 14 games last year, other than that he's been a rock in the lineup only missing one other start.

I think the FO needs to be careful not to overpay.

LOL nice

It's over folks. An uninspired effort by all but RGIII and probably Cofield. We are abysmal in so aspects of the game, it boggles the mind. Our punting situation deteriorates every week (why aren't we evaluating possible replacements?). The o-line is piss poor save Trent. They didn't even run block particularly well last night. The WR situation is also poor even putting aside Garcon's terrible day. Aldrich Robinson had zero catches despite a lot of PT. On D, zero push from the D line except on June rare instance Cofield. Bowen, Jenkins, Baker, and Golston are simply not starters in this league. Wilson was not good (again) and this wasn't Hall's best outing either. The safety play is awful - opponents' TEs just run unchallenged through the middle of the field (what, you think our LBs can cover?)

And the coaching is awful. Collinsworth, who I respect as an analyst, is often right. And I generally agree that stability and consistency lead to good results, and that a revolving door of coaches is very disruptive. But the consistency we are getting with the Shanahan regime is consistently fluctuating between mediocrity and outright suck (save for the inspired second hard run last season). But teams can bounce back and show significant improvement from year to year - look at the Cardinals, Panthers, Chiefs, and Lions - all very much improved from last year. And I don't think the salary cap is a big excuse. The Chiefs signed Alex Smith and the Lions got Bush, but none of the other teams did a lot in free agency last year.

We need new coaches across the board, period. I have never been a "fire the coach" kind of guy because I think it is so horribly disruptive. But this is no longer justifiable.

I'm not saying over pay, but he should get paid top 10-15 money at his position.

Brian Orakpo is diversifying and improving his game

I'm still indifferent to Orakpo. I just dont' want us to put a bunch of money into him and it ends up not being worth it. I'm fine if we sign him, and I'm fine if we allow him to walk.
