Skins @ Birds Gameday thread

[Schneed10]

I echo the frustration - the Eagles trade up to two and get what appears to be a MVP candidate by his second season. We trade up to two and get a fraud.

We never get to make the leap. It's disheartening.

Eagles are the real deal and figure to be so until Wentz gets an extension and it gets hard to pay everybody. Until then they're a force to be reckoned with.

I think this says a lot.

Look, Jay isn't Walsh or Lombardi, but he knows offense. If Jay is sitting Pryor and Pryor is healthy, it's because Pryor can't do it.



@JReidESPN

Pryor thing is a problem. Front office didn't do Kirk any favors. If you're gonna let Garçon and Jackson walk, gotta get him a proven guy.



Pryor was a huge mistake. That's the norm with this team. Huge mistakes. I guess the positive in this is that he was only signed for a 1 year deal. At least we've got that going for us.

Looks like it now, but we looked smart during training camp... I agree with people here saying it's coaching.

Why can't we have our receivers play to or above expectations the way Dunbar and Nicholson (and Moreau to a certain extend) have ?!

We never will as long as Bruce and Danny are here. Get use to it.

Yup. Just a couple of money guys that no shit about football. Gonna be another long twenty years because they aren’t going anywhere.

This is the truth. There is practically no problem we have now that wasn't created by Snyder ignoring and then forcing out of the organization competent player personnel executives and coaches.

Bruce is just a puppet; someone for Dan to hide behind because he is so unpopular.

But like I said in a previous post everything is gamble especially with personal.

Oh well, we win next week we are 4 and 3; you can build off that.

Wise words.

As infuriating as last night's game was, (and trust me, when you stay up until 6am so see this, you're infuriated), it's just a loss in a game where we were the clear underdog.
The team that beat the Raiders and the Rams and could've beaten the Chiefs is still here.

I like how their QB is stronger than our front 7 players. Do the Redskins have a weight room and stength & conditioning program? Looks like they send them to the local gym to mess around and do some curls.

We're an 8-8 type team. Those teams always have a few games a year they look good but just as many games where they don't.

There are definitely some plays we left on the field. But our coverage talent got exposed. More huge plays and 3rd down conversions.

And Gruden was terrible last night. That's the type coaching people want you fired for. We make 3rd and 1 look like 3rd and 21.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Very disappointing loss. I feel like this team could easily be 5-1 (or 1-5 for that matter)...

Last night any chances at the division took a significant hit. Philly essentially has a three game lead on us now.

The next four games are critical - against NFC teams that currently have equal or better records. In my opinion, the Skins need to win at least six of the remaining eight games against the NFC to have a shot at the wild card.

Yep. Pryor was a 50/50 gamble, obviously it doesn't look good but there's still time to turn it around. They knew what they were getting. Next year Kirk needs at least 1 reliable receiver to take pressure off Doctson and Crowder.

You are 100% correct. Winning starts at the top and winning teams aren't run by the yo-yos running the Skins.

Sometimes I wonder if the way the FO handled the WR situation in the offseason was in part to minimize KC's weapons so they could justify letting him go. With Snyder in charge I think anything is possible.
