Really hard to judge what would have happened if Grant kept his footing. I do not think it would have been a pick six though.

The game was lost in two areas.

1. Playing that horseshit prevent defense on Atlanta's go ahead drive. I put that on Barry. You can't play that bullshit defense in the NFL against a high powered offense.

2. The coaches for calling that wr screen that got blown up. Throw the fucking ball to Crodwer in the end zone. Just playing not to fucking lose there.

This game was lost on the first half when we only put up 7 points, while our D was playing well and limited the Falcons to 3 pts and had two takeaways.

Yet I see it a bit as a moral victory. The old Redskins would have fallen apart and embarrassed themselves.

Yes but in those two instances the game was on the line. The wr screen? Ok I can sort of live with that since it worked before. But to sit back in a soft zone when there was plenty of time for Atl to drive down the field was plain stupid. You have to play some man there and maybe send a little pressure. Try and win it over play not to lose. Just inexcusable.

Lets remember their kicker who had been perfect missed 2 makeable FGs.

Tough loss. Proud of how they battled on the road against an undefeated team though.

Agree! I think the Skins have turned the corner and are moving forward .It was a great game and I realize it doesn't make anyone feel better but the Skins are for real and it's a long season as I have always said it's where you finish that matters.

We played them tough, and the offense really struggled most of the game. I think the pick is more on Grant, but I question the decision to throw to him in that spot. They definately were missing Jordan Reed out there. The defensive line struggled at times today also, too much getting out of position and breaking containment.

Don't know why people are looking for scapegoats, our team played a helluva ball game and we should all be proud of them.

HTTR!!

This loss in Kirk..not because of the pick 6 but because he just wasn't accurate today. Blaming him though isn't meant in a scapegoat way. He played pretty well but just was off. It happens. The team fought and gave itself a chance. I'm not hysterical about this. More stuff for the team and Cousins to grow on.

[NoCalHail]

Kirk had one of those weird up and down performances today. He made some big clutch throws, but then was also pretty inaccurate in sports on throws where we had WR's wide open. When I try to make sense of Kirk I think the biggest question I have is "How long into his development is he?"

His issue doesn't seem to be lack of knowledge of the offense, as he is usually making the correct reads, but his delivery of the ball was just not there today. Throwing high, throwing behind.

Also, what happened to this team's running game? How did our O-line seemingly go from a run blocking beast but bad in pass protection to the exact opposite? Are defenses stacking the box because they don't fear the passing attack?

The defense? Hard to be upset at all with them despite giving up that drive in the 4th quarter. They held this game in check for well long enough that gave the offense a chance to do something, anything to extend their lead.

No reason to be mad or down about this game most people had us losing big. Skins are at least competitive this yr. We all said 7 wins would be an improvement so I don't see y anyone would be shocked with a loss on the road to a 5-0 team

You act like we lose to Patriots, or Packers!! Better yet you act like we scored 30 points and lose a shoot out!!

[sdskinsfan2001]

The great - we are way better than last year.

The good - missing some guys, minus the last drive in 4th quarter, defense played well.

The bad - the decision to play prevent defense on the road against a loaded offense. Show some originality, dial up some pressure, aka man up! Cousins accuracy. It leaves a lot to be desired.

HOW ABOUT THIS SIMPLE TRUTH!! WE LOST TO A DAMN BETTER TEAM..they are 5-0 we were 7 point underdogs and took it to overtime..dang it some of you fans just don't get it..all you want to do is blow the team up every year and start over.
