Positives:

1. There is no longer any hint of a QB controversy.

2. The wisdom of not signing Orakpo to a long-term deal was clearly demonstrated.

3. I'm so used to losing now that my blood pressure remained normal during the game.

4. It's amusing to watch the many comical ways Biggers gets trampled while trying to tackle.

5. It was nice to watch three quarters without a turnover.

6. I got a quick glimpse of a Cardinals cheerleader who looked like she might have been hot.

7. I truly enjoyed seeing Snyder sitting with The President of the Apache Nation and his wife. I thought his guests looked stylish in their new Redskins caps and the animated conversation they were having made it look like they had a lot in common. You could tell that Dan was just hanging out with some friends and not using other people for his own self-serving purposes. I like that about him.

Negatives:

No more than usual.

If Orakpo didn't get signed people would bitch, to be fair Orakpo was being held quite a bit today (2 penalties called on Veldheer).

I wouldn't mind if he quit tonight. He is not a game-changing player. I say use the money saved by letting him walk on a FA at another position who can make a difference.

That has been his whole career, every D pass rusher gets held but the elite ones make plays, he has never or will ever be elite. Not worst a franchise tag price tag.

Watching the Redskins each Sunday is like re-watching 'Million Dollar Baby'. You know ahead of time it's going to end tragically and yet you still cry every time.

Positives:
Desean Jackson has been supplying those big plays that have been sorely missed.
I thought Amerson was playing well before he got hurt.
Starting field position seemed slightly improved versus last week.
I got lots of cleaning done during the game and caught a nice buzz as well.

Negatives:
Trouble running the ball.
Injuries in areas where we are already thin.
Not enough pass rush considering the Arizona o-line has been decimated by injuries.

Fu*k Orakpo, and his inability to have multiple pass rush moves, his inability to catch, and his play in general.

Reed has been missed, the guy is good when he's not injured for months on end.

I dunno who was kicking the kickoffs, but there were many unreturnable ones. Much better job.



Negatives:

Cousins. I vouched for you after the Philly game and continued to... Until this game. You are hot stinky garbage. Please, please go back to the bench.

O-line. Wasn't our O-line known for good run blocking? What happened to that?

Alfmo. I don't blame him, I blame the o-line more and playcalling more, but his stats have been treading DOWNWARD. Come on man, is Alfmo even going to have a 100+ yard game this season?

Secondary - Yeah yeah, I know Breeland is a rookie and what not, but that was bad. REAL bad. I mean if Breeland can't cut it, double team Fitzgerald, don't just leave the kid on an island. The secondary is the broken leg of this team.

Orakpo - You could've swung the game in an entirely new direction had you caught that errant pass. You suck. 11.5 mil down the drain.

The refs - You all suck.

I agree with everything you said! As much I hate to said it, Bruce Allen has mismanaged a large part of this roster.....this is the same thing that Vinny Cerratto did to Jim Zorn......Gruden and Haslett has had to work with ineffective spare parts!

how much longer we giving bruce Allen?

I'm not sure that Haslett is the long term answer, but you can't say (with a straight face) that the defense is the biggest problem right now.

This game shouldn't have even been close, let alone a loss. Put this one on all things offense, but mostly KC and his poor performance for 75% of the game.

Redskins fans love to blame a single person and ignore other bigger issues like the turnovers on offense, the lack of a running game, the lack of depth/inexperience on defense, and the injuries.

Yeah I dont put the game on him for sure, but just think in the big scheme of things probably time to go.

The problem with Orakpo is that he is good but not great. He is now making superstar money, smart teams would move in a different direction. You can't overpay for him, he is what he is at 27.

Trent Williams is a baller.

Love that guy.
