I docked myself a few reputation points for using that "silly stat line."

I think you guys have drank waaaaaaaaaaay too much Joe Gibbs Kool Aid.

Because you can't form a coherent argument or because you are wrong? :cheeky-sm Kidding, of course.

LOL! Do you guys watch other teams? Or are you just Redskin homers that don't see outside the box?

Look around. Alot of teams pass to set up the run. Alot of teams pass to loosen up the defense and then come back with the run later. We can't run so why try to play ball control and run the clock out instead of trying to maybe pass more to get more points? That running out the clock crap has lost us games. It almost lost the Ariz game and it lost the Giants game. It lost games in 05 and so on.

I was watching the Clev. game this past weekend and they made an consistent effort to get Braylon Edwards the ball downfield. Not throwing stupid little pussy ass screen passes that don't work. They threw it to him 15-30 yards downfield. Why aren't we doing this with Santana? He's our big play guy. Right? Is Clev any better than we are at the skill positions? They have a better line right now but we can still throw down field with our line. We just don't try to.

Yes, I watch plenty of games. I also have statistical, factual basis for my arguments rather than just spouting anecdotal nonsense.

So the whole Washington sports media and many former players that agree with my opinions are spouting anecdotal nonsense??? I'm just not a stat geek ( like you ) that lives and dies with numbers. Stats never tell the whole story.

Everyone involved in this thread needs to chill. This thread is quickly headed to a lockdown.

Dude I'm fine. Mheisig always seems to go out of his way to attack me. Calling me a crack head and a loser and what not.

I'm not sure why you keep changing the issue. You said that this isn't the 1980s anymore and teams don't run to set up the pass. You were wrong, so now you are changing the question to "Can you pass to set up the run?" Yes they can, but that wasn't the issue you first posed.

BTW, implying that we are idiots who can't see out of the box and that you are laughing out loud at us isn't going to get you very far.

I said alot of teams pass to set up the run and those happen to be the best teams in the NFL. It's a copy cat league right?

BTW... Did I ever call you an idiot? No. I may call some people homers, Kool Aid drinkers and stat nerds but I don't attack people personally.
