I hated that call. Sure we didnt execute but when u need one yard i think you go forward from snap to finish.

Thats what I was thinking. A slow developing run play when they are already crowding the line of scrimmage since its 3rd and short. Should of just handed off to Morris right up the gut.

Was the last play a designed qb draw? If so that's gutsy to say the least but it worked great

I don't know to be honest....to me it seemed like it wasn't a designed QB draw. But I haven't heard/read anything saying that it wasn't.

Robert Griffin III's 76-yard touchdown run, in his own words - Washington Times

"We kind of felt like they were going to pressure us in that situation. [Offensive coordinator] Kyle [Shanahan] called a good play.

"I saw the double A-gap blitz. I was thinking I’m either going to throw hot, or if they miss this blitz and don’t hit it the right way, then I’m going to run for the first. I saw that they missed it, took off running and got to the sideline; thought about running out of bounds because everyone has been telling me that lately. You know in certain situations, and I felt like I had the guy outflanked. I just took off running. The rest is history.

to be honest it really didnt look like it and from rg3's press conference it didnt sound like it

Damn briscoe would have had a big catch and maybe score he was pretty open

Yep and a lot of Redskins Nation wanted to see him on the field now, this is why you take their opinions with a grain of salt. Im not calling him off yet though. Hankerson dropped a few head scratchers and hes coming together as a possession WR.

Tired of seeing the "Fire This guy" after our best win of the season. Everyone is screaming for Hasletts head, but still dont realize that we have two safeties that wouldnt be starting for any other team in the NFL right now, and we thought we could sugar coat it with a great pass rush but we lost one of our best pass rushers.

Im not covering for Haslett because hes obviously not perfect, but nobody is perfect and not every play call is perfect.

Btw.. people can complain about our "college style" offense but its pretty much unstoppable and a hybrid of something nobody has ever seen. Its mostly possible with RG3 and Kyle/Mike did and awesome job this season coming up with this scheme. I enjoy watching it.

I rewatched a lot of the game and the Vikings picked their poison yesterday. They want to stop Alfred "Bently" Morris and they did for the most part but RG3 showed he can beat you with his arm and legs as well.

Most important thing today for me was not defense, offense, special teams...

6-12 on 3rd downs

You guys are talking about his long td? I agree. It looked to me like he saw the opening and tucked the ball and took off. I think it was not a designed play.

Barring some injuries that might be the last time we see that guy on the field. That was a really really bad drop. He didnt hear footsteps or anything and the pass was perfect. If he catches that and scores RG3 would have gotten me like 58 instead of 38 fantasy points. Damn u briscoe.

It's a shame to be honest, I'd really like to see us develop these young WRs. Although I must say that Hank had some nice catches though.

Niles Paul earned his roster spot today, the FO gets credit for this one, even if he's only destined to be a SP superstar.

M. Williams played his best game of the season, and he's looking like he could be short-term solution (couple/few years) at FS given the other positions that will be critical to address. He's tough as nails and showed some serious football IQ on the INT today.

Was Lorenzo Alexander dominating as OLB today? If so, that's the biggest surprise of the season. When I saw him both Fletcher and Riley were also on the field, so Zo must be outside. He's got a great nose for the pigskin and has enough power to create pressure even against interior lineman.

Fred Davis and Tana. When these guys get work we have the best chance of winning. Hopefully Garcon, Hankerson or Morgan develop into a #1 type possession WR but until then keep Moss in the gameplan early and often.

1 game bro, he has sucked the other 5...the only solution he is is for the rest of this year.

And I dunno about Lorenzo (1 game as well) I think they played him at OLB. Saw a lot of Keenan Robinson today so maybe Haslett wasn't happy with Rob Jackson and Chris Wilson.

Mmm, I think M Williams has shown adequate skills and a solid physical presence out there. Where he was a bit lacking is in game smarts, but today he looked more comfortable and had a definite start-worthy game. Can't I be optimistic w/o getting crapped on?! Geeeeeeeeeeeez!!

Was an amazing game, RG3 is truly a superstar and will keep us competitive and good for a long long time.

Not to be picky - but I'd like to see more passing yards than all of these running yards. Obviously invaluable to have the running when things break down, but I still don't like seeing the called runs / option plays. Anyway, I know it was a good defense, we were missing Garcon, and he hit 77% of his passes - so I know he's just as good a passer as an athlete / runner -- so the potential is there for killing it in the passing game... but having almost as many running vs. passing yards in my mind is not sustainable long-term. For example, I'm scared about exposing him to the NYGiants d-line / lb core..
