Well, when the Texans offense was playing well and Wade Phillips took over the defense, they were very good. Last year's offense was that horrible, that the defense couldn't do anything.

The one thing I was surprised was how easy is was to run vs that D-line. It is like they only know pass rush. Even on play action, bootlegs Reed was ignoring the runner and going for Rg3. I bet a screen pass would have went a mile. At least it would have made them slow their pass rush.


If the Skins just ran more, held onto the ball it could have been a win.

The run game did very well today.
I'm disappointed we didnt run more and force the safeties up to the line.

to our OC: you got 2 Lamborghinis in the garage and didn't drive any of them!?
BTW Tyler Polumbus is better off on the practice squad.
OPEN IT UP!!

Just curious. What were you (or anybody) expecting out of a Polumbus vs Watt matchup? Do you realize JJ Watt is the best defensive player in the NFL? He routinely makes RTs look like pure shit. It's on the coach to devise a plan to negate him or provide extra blocking.

Not many guys in the league can handle Watt. It certainly wasn't going to be Polumbus, Moses, or Winston off the street. We still had our chances and didn't get it done, simple as that.

It was game 1 of year 1 of a new coach, one that is committing to developing RG3 into more of a pocket passer. I think we may want to give it just a little more time. Gruden has preached patience since he got here. Wilson, Dalton, Luck, etc are all still growing too. And they're not coming off knee injuries and coaching drama.

I hear you but the losing is getting to folks.

Riddle me this.

How many months has it been since the Redskins have won a meaningful game?

December 2012 - the win over Dallas to win the NFC East was the last win of consequence. It's pretty sad when you have a team full of playmakers, but can't challenge the opposing defense aside from passes to the short flat. I refuse to believe that Houston took away all other options on the field.

Dude, are you kidding me? We have been losing for almost two full decades, with some one round playoffs appearances. The last time the Skins fielded a really competitive team was in '99, and in that I mean a team that could have gone to the big dance. 2012 was nice, but we weren't as dominant as in '99. Gibbs' appearances were nice, but how are you going to get anywhere with Mark Brunell? The folks in here are diehards and losing is unfortunately second nature to us.
