Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs Browns)

[GTripp0012]

He's not a Redskin, but:

Romeo Crennel -- In a game that could have got his team back into the chase in the AFC North, he avoids for the second time in three games making a QB change at halftime when it is obvious that it can only improve his teams' chances of winning. Then you get a first and goal at the one yard line, and you end up going backwards because you can't call a play that relies on your QB to do anything. Despite a relative meltdown from the Redskins from that point on, the game was all but over when the Goal Line stand was made.

We outplayed Cleveland a lot more than the final score suggested, but if they had changed QBs at half and Quinn plays even mediocre, they probably beat us.

For those of you counting, that's two wins this year that Crennel has cost the Browns.

HOW ABOUT GIVING SOME PROPS TO OUR DEFENSE! Essentially we stopped them 7 times on the goal line. Yeah they got it on the final 4th and 1 with that play action fake. But we were all flying around all over the field! I mean those hits by Carlos and London yesterday were SWEET!

We have said it for two games. Who cares about the score as long as we have the higher number.

I will take a season of 16-0 with a SB win and all the scores where 3-2, the final score means nothing it is the W that counts.

New Orleans, St. Louis, Cleveland. And we've said it numerous times the past few seasons, too.

Of course I'll take the wins, but this thread is supposed to "Lay the Smack Down." Our lack of scoring when compared to all other offensive statistics is pretty glaring. We only have 4 offensive turnovers all year (3 of which came in one game), we're 3rd overall in rushing, 7th overall in total yards/game, yet a paltry 23rd in scoring. 23rd. Let it sink in. Points win games. Fortunately our defense is bailing us out. We have to score more.

Great point. Is M. Kelly healthy, I don't see him on the injury report? I'd really like to see us take a shot or two with him in the Red Zone. He's a big, physical, athletic target. Inside the 20, take a shot with him on a fade a couple times a game and let the kid make a play. Same thing could be done with Davis if we get him matched up on the outside with a SS or LB. Even if they don't make the play, it makes the D play more honest covering the outside corner in the RZ.
