Mistakes happen all the time, but our team cannot capitalize offensively on these mistakes or key defensive stops.

For example, after the Redskins scored their first TD late in the first half, the defense stopped the Seahawks and the Redskins had a chance to put some points before the half ended. Instead they went three out and had to punt the ball. They get the ball in the second half, and they only muster a FG.

You can't beat good teams by giving up these opportunities. We're bad and have issues/injuries on both side of the ball.

On that drive Roberts had a pass that hit him right in the hands. That would have been a big gain. Instead...punt. Biggest missed play of the game.

We also had a lot 3rd and short non-conversions that killed us. I think that opening drive in the second half ended in a FG because of a missed 3rd and short.

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights people

My only contribution... good night folks.

ISSUES .. keyword. The team franchise, offense, defense has serious issues.

Yeah, I'm venting. Sorry .. its just the first week of October, and knowing that we have a less than 1% chance of going to the playoffs, it would be nice at least entering December thinking we have a chance...
