Skins vs Texans Gameday Thread

[BleedBurgundy]

Holy overreactions, kids. Let's see how things shake out over the first quarter given our new offense, new HC and new ST coordinator? We had two fumbles inside the opponent's ten and we weren't going against St. Mary's Special Needs Junior High School (aka Dallas's) defense today. Houston is a strong defensive side.

It's really telling and concerning when your lineman dont help you up. The problem isn't the oline, the problem is rg3's lack of vision and decision making.

I still feel like its twofold; the o-line sucks which makes RG3 suck. Not just because he's running around in the pocket, but because he naturally has terrible decision making when he's under pressure.

It kills me that the guy still doesn't seem to know when the right moment to throw the ball away is. But hey, at least he learned how to slide.

He didn't suck today. To me he just looks like the same guy as last year.

He didn't suck, that much is for sure. He's not the biggest issue of why we lost. Turnovers and special teams play accounts for most of that.


I'm kind of facepalming the people on twitter right now for calling for Jay to get KC in the lineup.

Only thing that bugs me, is how when RG is pressured he runds backwards. A few times had he stepped forward he wouldn't have been sacked, hurried or hit.
Offensive line - looked good running the ball. I think we needed some more runds in there, but given the untimely penalties made it a little more difficult. We basically gave up thowing the ball down the field. I thought we would have stetched the field a little more and at least given the texans something to think about.

all in all, the defense played good - only giving up one big play. Special teams again was a joke.
it will be a few weeks before people start calling for RG's resignation.

I know. I know the whole 'ifs and buts' thing but 2 turnovers inside the 10 yard line, a blown coverage and a blocked punt for a TD are the story of this loss, not RG3 holding the ball too long. People latch to a narrative and refuse to let it go in the face of reality.

If the 2nd half RG3 is who shows up every Sunday, I think there will be more smiles than whining around here. We also don't play JJ freaking Watt every week. Dude is only the best defensive player in the league so if he dominates Tyler Polumbus then you just take that for what it is.

It's 0-1, not 0-16. Live to play another week.

Very true, the frustration is same problems from last year showing up first game. We brought players and coaches to change that, we still see the same shit. I completely understand everyone frustrations.

If I could tell gruden one thing after that game, it would be run the damn ball
