Skins v Jets - Positives and Negatives

[Ruhskins]

Lack of scoring in the first half continues to be an issue; let's not act like everything is great in the first half during these games.

In the two wins, the Redskins have had double digit leads in the first half; while in the four losses, the first half lead has been by 5 or fewer points. In this league, unless you have an elite defense, you can't nurse a small lead over in the second half.

Within the past two weeks, the team has had a +2 turnover differential; with the defense having 6 takeways (5 of these takeways came during the first half). Out of these 6 takeways, the offense has only been able to score 16 points off turnovers (13 of them against the Jets).

We've had plenty of opportunities to be significantly up in score on these four losses, but have wasted them by settling for FGs and/or not taking advantage of turnovers caused by our defense. I think this is the frustrating part and why I criticize Cousins, Morris/Jones, and Gruden.
