Colts-Redskins Postgame Thread

On one of Luck's td passes the wr ran a short cross and no one even covered the guy. I mean no one. I'm sure they practiced against this play in practice. Why the communication breakdown?

I'm not even mad though about the d. Yeah they can't rush the passer but they played well enough for us to win that game.

I'm guessing here, but since it was the end of that "all pick play" drive, my guess is that after being torched over and over on pick plays they said "ok maybe passing WRs up would be nice idea?" but the info either didn't get to every body's ears, or one of DJ and Dunbar forgot about it and stuck with his player.

Watching that play again, just before the snap you can see DJ talking at Dunbar and pointing at Hilton, then Dunbar points at Hilton, that would mean Dunbar was responsible for Hilton but lost him in traffic, Hilton was outside and went inside while the TE and the inside receiver both went inside.

Blown coverage on what seems to be a late audible. That shit happens. More mad at Manusky for not adjusting earlier in the game, or at least during that drive.

How to beat wr picks plays ? Go zone.

All Luck was doing was getting to the line, moving someone or just seeing how we would line up to see if we were in man. So you disguise it or audible out

Yeah, we ought to try that once in a while. Our DC sucks.

I think Luck is generally overrated at QB, BUT he is a bright guy. The ignorance by Manusky to adjust is simply ego...him and Gruden have this effing ego and I cant figure out why. Are they generally stupid?

Season 5 for Gruden and we are still having Offense performances like that last week.

Its a serious problem imo. a serious problem that he simply will never be a good HC.

He’ll always be overrated on this board no matter what he does.

I think they don't have the stones to roll the dice on high risk high reward plays.

Everything seems to be telegraphed because they are always playing the percentages.

Way too early to throw the season into the toilet. Having said that, I do understand the concern of seeing how badly this team performed against the Colts, and looking at the teams the 'skins have to face in the upcoming weeks - it can be a death nail in the coffin of Gruden's coaching career with the 'skins, or it could turn out to be an impressive turnaround. I can't blame everything on Gruden and I won't. I can point out so many adverse, unwinnable situations that Gruden has had to take this team through - things beyond his control. But, I wont say he's totally innocent either. This team has to have 10 wins this season. I believe that. I think that is the only way Gruden keeps his job.

Me personally I think Gruden has to make the playoffs in order to keep his job. 10 wins and missing the playoffs might still keep him safe. 9 wins would have to be a big discussion. Less than 9 wins, no way. Most of his talk over the summer i took as "we are primed to win right now". Even telling Alex that we aren't building the team around him, we've already built the team and just need him to lead it. Like all we were missing was the QB.
