Where are the Saunders defenders?

[CRT3]

Did anyone watch this game????? Saunders is making Norv Turner look great.

Example
1. We are down by 10 in the 4th qtr. and he runs the ball from the 5 yard line. 6 minutes left on the clock and Betts gains 3 yards. WTF???
2. 2nd qtr. we just drove the ball down the field twice for TD's. Alot of runs and a few passes ( 12 runs and 2 passes = 14) So the idiot goes pass, end around, pass, punt. Sonny asked Gibbs why they got away from the game plan and Gibbs says they stuck to it and he did not know what Sonny was talking about. Sonny does not press him as this is what he was thinking, he says so after Gibbs leaves the interview. Pass - Reverse - Pass come on you have got to be kidding Al, you just rammed it down their throat 14 plays for 14 points and now you start throwing???
3. NExt series we go back to the run and try a field goal. Long field goal but how did we get ther. RUNNING THE BALL. The next series after this we go back to the all pass because apparently Al thinks we are behind, except for a 1st down on a pass on a 2 and 10. Then 3 more passes and punt. So 5 and out here.
4. The last example is on the one with the clock stopped with 2nd and goal to go. Throws then runs. Can't ram it in because apparently we can not run against this team, then lets the clock run after running a draw on 3 down so rush to the line on 4th and throw a dead ball. That is what does it for me. That series of play calling was the nail in the coffin. FIRE AL, ship his butt back to KC.

It seems to me that the Skins should have known exactly what they are getting when they signed Saunders - they didn't sign him thinking that he would be calling a straight up running game. The guy has been a very successful offensive coordinator playing the game in a pretty specific way which is what the Skins hired. Now, it turns out the we currently don't have the personnel to carry this out and it may be that we should have hired more of a 'Joe Gibbs/Redskin' type guy - hardly Saunders's fault.

However, give the guy and the players time. JC is going to improve and I believe that we have the weapons to make it work. Let's see how the rest of this season and all of next season goes before calling for Saunder's head.

Not Al's fault. Gibbs is to blame. Gibbs is the one making Norv and for that matter OBC look great.
