Redskins vs Bucs Post Game Reaction

[Ruhskins]

Despite the gaudy numbers on the offense (3rd in total yds and yds/game; 1st in rushing yds and rushing yds/game; 4th in total points and points/game), our offense is tied for last in 3rd down conversion at 25.5 pct. This has got to change, especially if we are going to continue to have issues with the defense. We can't give teams the opportunity to come back, and we've seen that happen in 3 games.

Also, I just saw that we are first for most penalties (37) and tied for first in penalty yds (356), this has to change.

I think it goes back to staying out of 3rd and longs. And that ties in with the penalties too.

Amazing when you think about it that we've still been able to overcome that and put up all the points we have.

I do like the fact that we have had a LOT of big plays on offense, something that this team was sorely lacking. I was a bit surprised about penalty and penalty yards, although I am sure some of it has to do with the replacement refs. Still, given all the offensive production, I feel that this team has a lot of potential and it is a frustrating to see that 3rd down conversion percentage.
