They ran the ball well and needed to run more. In a game where Morris was getting 7+ yards a run, he should've had 30 carries not 14.

I don't think Morris is a system back but Gruden is using Shanahans running playbook. Not changing a thing in the running game.

Reed either has the worst luck or is the softest player in the league.

I don't think Reed is soft at all... quite the opposite, actually. He's just too reckless. Doesn't give a crap what happens to his body as long as he makes the play. Remember his long catch and run against Dallas last year where he trucked that Cowboys DB while running top speed? Most guys would slow down or hesitate a little, but not Reed.

Fair enough on Morris. I do agree he probably should have got more carries.

What sickens me right now is that yet again we have proved to have the worst yards-to-points ratio in the league. Our offense today, in terms of yards, was 13th in the league -- ahead of the Patriots (who scored 20), Texans (who beat us, 49ers (who scored 28), and Packers (who scored 16), for example. Yet EVERY team in the league, save the woeful Rams, scored more points than the Redskins. Eerily similar to last year in which we had a number of games with more yards, better time of possession, and even fewer turnovers and yet still managed to lose.

We have got to reverse that trend (and by that I don't mean lose the battle for yards, turnovers, etc.)

At least the Cowpukes got trucked and Philly had to scramble. I hope the Giants lose in Detroit tomorrow, so we'll at least have good company, and at least we didn't lose in our conference. Hard to get too down -- right now, we're even with the Patriots, Saints, Packers, and Ravens -- teams with a recent history of winning a lot of games. But we need to bring it next weel, for sure.

Run game looked great...infact if we continued to stuff it down their throat the score would of been different.

[OnceWeWereKings]

D looked good. Our defense only have up, what, 10 pts? Not bad. Special teams.....garbage. Offense....garbage. 6pts? Seriously? Anyone can say whatever...but Griff looks like he really can't read a defense. Time time time is what everyone wants. If I went to work everyday for 3 years and couldn't figure it out after being(one of) the highest rated prospect(s) in my field....I would be shit canned. Just saying....
Flame on, or whatever....but Griff doesn't look like he knows how to read a defense or run an offense consistently.

To me the game plan seemed like they were scared. You can send a back or TE over to Watt's side. There were hardly any passes over 5 yards. You mean to tell me an NFL offense can't run Jackson and Garçon on 10 to 20 yard routes? Either the coaches are coddling Griffin, or he's playing like John Beck. In the end, the game came down to the blocked punt, block fg and the fumbles, 4 plays.

certainly didnt look like we were calling pro pass plays. more of the same. holding onto the ball until you see your guy open vs getting rid of the ball on-time right before your guy makes his break and gets open ... maybe i missed it but did RG3 call a single audible or protection shift?

very disheartening start to see the same issues manifest itself.

I think Gruden is very aware of the right side of the line's limitations. Maybe he didn't really believe the tape when Free Agency and Draft time came around, and wanted to see if he could get more out. But fact is, if the game plan had been skewed more to the deep throws, it would have been worse no matter who the QB was. And, the Skins adjusted and were getting consistent drives after the first one or two. Given that Houston had a new coach, we hadn't seen Clowney/Watt together, and they had their other star who was out most of last year back, I give the team a one week pass.

Now this week, no such thing. All the cards are on the table at this point.

It came down to everything you mention. When you get outcoached, and outplayed those mistakes will haunt you everytime. Good teams can sometimes overcome blunders. Bad teams never do.

Any updates on the injuries?

[That Guy]

we made good half time adjustments, but the playcalling in the first half was bad and not being able to throw it past 10 yards is pretty terrible. looks like the preseason woes carried over.

D looked good, two blocks on STs is terrible. but coverage and returns were better.

kind of a mixed bag overall. it looks fixable, but it also looks like there's a ways to go.

We need a Decade Team or something. Like a special avatar saying you are in the decade club. That be kind of cool. I still got a year to go.

Lol. Ive never actually seen a breakdown - I just know that in my first year I was often referred to as having Earthquake like numbers.
