Redskins vs. Patriots game thread

[jrtmolar]

why cant JC and the offense do what the Pats did to us? Brady completed what seemed like 100 passes to the middle of the field, about 7-8 yards long. He got rid of the ball quickly. Why cant we do this?

Because their O-line isn't playing like trash due to injury, JC (as much as I like him) isn't Tom Brady, and our wide receiving corps isn't as deep or good as the Pats.

And that, folks, pretty much sums it up.

This is only partially true.
He wasn't slinging it under center all day.
He was in the shotgun...it gives him better vision and more time.
Those are a couple things a young qb can benefit from...especially with a depleted oline.

Cmon....lets get serious.
Not going shotgun at all with a crappy line is a recipe for disaster...when they tried that in combo with a hurry up they scored a TD....now I know it was late....but why do they only try "new" ideas when it doesn't matter?

They should have opened that way....you know the Colts will!
Im not comparing us with them, since we need to stay pretty balanced....but damn...we cant run from standard formations anyways....it was obvious last week we needed a major change on the line or a change in formations.
Shotgun draws work great with a back like portis anyways.

I am very disappointed in this basic adjustment not being made against superior talent. I am losing faith in my hero Gibbs

Sorry, but a trio of Santana Moss, Randle El, Llyod should be the best in the league, and they are total underachievers. O line depletion hurts big time, but doesn't excuse lousy play or playcalling. JC might not be our "savior" at QB after all and might end up like Ramsey.

I think you are really overestimating our talent at WR.

Moss had one great year in 2005. Randle El has shown some flashes but Lloyd?? C'mon, enough with people riding his worthless jock.

I think we may need to look long and hard at our WR group next offseason. I'm really starting to lose my faith in Moss as a true #1 WR.

I am agreeing with this more and more every week. I think every one of us over valued our WR's.

I believe ARE was undervalued relative to what we paid him. I think we're getting our money's worth out of that guy. Moss has checked out with Portis.

Lloyd was damaged goods from Day 1 and that hasn't changed.

People give Jason all this crap for always targeting Cooley, but there's a reason he looks there first.

Lloyd is just a bad teammate. Randel El and Moss are solid, but their little guys and aren't TD threats without a deep ball. We really need a big target ala Art Monk to go with our speed burners. Cooley is good but we need a WR-TD threat in the end zone for jump balls, someone to go over the middle and manhandle CBs and good hands. These WRs are hard to come by, but McCardell 5 years ago is a good example.....

If it were that easy why doesn't the whole damn league do it??
