Expectations for the rest of the season...

[Gary84Clark]

Gruden and that Chucky offense is out dated anyway.

[JoeRedskin]

^^^ lol righhhhhhttttt.

The offensive scheme is fine, when properly executed. You know, like hitting open WR's in the flat in the red zone rather than taking a sack, or hitting D.Jax when he is running free behind the defense, or hitting Garcon wide open in the middle of the D when the play design uses D.Jax to drag the safeties downfield and A. Morris to drag the LB's upfield.

Gruden's offense is actually very well-designed by scheming for the opposing teams particular defensive tendencies, incorporating the particular abilities of various skill players into the play design, and anticipating how defenses will react to them. The yards are there for the taking, but between Griffin and the O-Line, a lot of them get left on the field.

I was at the Oakland game last year and that's when I really saw just how bad RG3 was playing. Our wr's were wide open and he just didn't throw them the ball. They didn't cover Santana all day. Some of the wr's were getting frustrated, you could see it. Here we are 13 or so starts later and it's the same things. IMO he just doesn't have it.

This week I just want him to cut it loose. Don't care if he throws a few picks. No more happy feet. Don't try and scramble around, keep your eyes downfield, set your feet, climb the pocket and sling it. That's all I want to see. QB 101.

Constant frustration seeing RG miss open receivers. I remember it a lot with Moss last year and now it's like RG doesn't see anybody.

Maybe he needs a beta blocker to slow things down internally lol

In case anyone hasnt heard RG-3 is focusing on San Francisco. Lmao

[Daseal]

Here's my layman's opinion. Throughout RG3's entire career he was able to turn his mistakes into big plays. Understandably, that makes you sloppy. If you constantly wiggle out of a bad situation and make it a great one, you get used to doing that and learn to rely on that. During the playoff game vs. Seattle, RG3 lost that ability for the remainder of his career.

RG3 is slow. RG3 does not have acceleration anymore. RG3 cannot turn botched plays into big gains with his legs. I've watched him get caught from behind by defensive linemen. His rookie season, no LB would catch him from behind and he would glide by a DE. He's had so many surgeries on his legs and he's lost that explosion that made him special. Now he's having to rely on his head and his arm more than his legs and he's failing. It's clear he doesn't have the fundamentals. We paid too much for a kid that is nice but lacks football intelligence and football fundamentals.

i'd like to see the players stop talking to the media, so they don't have to spend so much time talking about what they (or someone else) said last time they talked to the media.

it'd be a shame to waste these last 6 games 2013 style. there's a lot of work that needs to be done.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone so optimistic to think we will 2 more games this season?

If I had to wager I would say we finish the year 3-13. At SF, at Indy. At Giants. Cowboys, Eagles. Get the Rams at home, but they just crushed denver. There is really nobody except Oakland and the Jags that I would feel confident about playing. That being said I wouldnt be surprised at all if they beat us either. Times like this my mind always takes me back to 14-0 against Seattle at home! What has happened since that point could not be further from what I thought was going to happen from that point on. If we werent on our way to the Superbowl that year I figured we would be serious contenders for years to come.

This game was horrible, easily the worst of the year, but it was just one game. Gruden so far has had two really bad losses out of 10 games(the game against New York in which we were destroyed by injuries and this one), so why would I expect this level of play to be the new norm? I fully expect Griffin to play more like he did against Minnesota than against Tampa Bay for the rest of the year.

[Bucket]

Here is my prediction.

RG3 gets pulled in SF game.

After loss, Colt starts next 4 games and leads us to 4 straight wins finishing the year 8-8.

[rocnrik]

WILL NOT WIN ANOTHER GAME THIS SEASON!! unless they bench RGIII…then they might win two….top 5 pick in the 2015 draft..thats what we need. Robert is lost right now and my guess is he will get benched at SF and Colt will come in and make some plays..but not enough with the crap defense we have..trust me the skins are right now the worst team maybe in all of pro sports..total failure and it starts at the top..I have been FAN since 1969 I can't take it anymore...

[REDSKINS4ever]

Just let the starters play......play close attention to areas of need like offensive line, safety, and quarterback......

[NYCskinfan82]

I'm really disgusted in my team right now. All this gossiping going on is turning my stomach. I've always been a team first guy. They've got me wanting to chant RG3 RG3. How can you be saying first guy there last to leave then say he doesn''t want to put the time in. There is something your not telling me. Gruden gave up to fast 2nd game dislocated ankle never backed him. F Gruden IMO. I'm a REDSKIN fan firstvbut this I don't like.

Gruden has two going on three years of RG3s work to evauate him. And working with him this entire season so far, whether RG3 played or not.

We had plenty of gossip the last two years. And people blamed Mike Shanahan. Now there's still gossip.... oops.

What's important that is something nobody told you... apparently, is that RG3 has sucked this season. So bad that if it weren't for the INTs Cousins outplayed RG3, and McCoy is outplaying RG3.

Maybe it's the system. Thanks to all-22, people can confirm that our WRs are getting open. It really looks like RG3 can't read the field as a pocket passer. And it's not a matter of "just getting it", it's a skill that has to be developed like practically any NFL technique. The pass play is a lot tougher to read from the QB position on the field than the fans eagle eye view from TV.

If only we had an offensive coordinator and head coach that ran a system RG3 could do well in. One that didn't rely on RG3 reading at least half the field, but instead relied on his good play-action and running skills and making quick decisions on simple reads..... but that's crazy talk. As RG2 said: “You name one quarterback out there that would rather run the football than throw the football and I’ll show you a loser.” (*cough* Wilson Kaaepernick Newton )
