Didn't Tampa Bay get the crap kicked out of them a few weeks ago? Then they go into Pittsburgh and steal one. Atlanta beat up on Tampa, then turn around and get beat by a rookie QB making his first start. It's a week to week league. Skins show up and give Seattle a game but lose a close one.

I am so bummed that we are almost ready to play out the string, and it's the beginning of October. Chalk Seattle as a loss and a 1-4 start. Gruden isn't committed to establishing the run, like most WCO coaches that are enamored with their own passing attacks.

Trouble is we don't have any true starting material in the defensive backfield without Hall. Darryl Green probably could come back and smoke the bums we have in our secondary. If we had a real starting caliber O line, Alfred would get over 100 yards a game and probably more like 130 ypg. No more giving up first round picks for a while. We are not as lucky as the Patriots in the past with the quantity over quality strategy. Obviously, our scouting team sucks, and has done so for a long time. I just hope they bench Robert for the year and let him try and develop into a pocket passer, or just trade him for an additional first rounder or maybe multiple second rounders. At this point, our team is still so thin one man isn't going to get us to the promised land. I rather keep Robert, but odds are 50/50 at best he can stay healthy.

You nailed it, Jay Gruden sadly is not going to be the second coming of Joe Gibbs. It is evident he is too enamored with his West Coast passing game, even though the strength of the team is running the football. Unlike, Gibbs who was a Don Coryell disciple and was likewise pass happy, and did not adjust until an 0 - 5 start. Unfortunately I think Gruden is too stubborn to change philosophy.

I am alright with the play calling since the Houston game.

1st downs are what matter with our hobbled defense.

"Establishing the run" when the defense is playing the run means a lot of three and outs. Everyone, including myself wants Alfmo to finish games with 150 yards and grind defenses over 4 quarters.

Opposing defenses are going to play our run and put the game on our inexperienced back up qb.

Jay has done a good job of moving the ball and exploiting what the defense is giving.

[CRedskinsRule]

We win.

I think we're too banged up to put up a fight. If the defense was pretty healthy, I would say we put up a fight against the running game, and make it a decent game.

Even if the defense was healthy, Seattle's pass rush is too much for our mediocre o-line. Oh well.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Final Score: Blood and Guts.

With that I bid you farewell.

I would feel a lot better about this game if it wasnt in primetime.We shit the bed when the lights come on and so does Kirk.
While many on this board dont agree I think Wilson is a top 10 qb,maybe top 5.He's smart,can run the zone read and be a pocket passer and makes good decisions,plus NOT INJURY PRONE.
Dont see how this will be close,defense cant stop anybody,special teams are a joke,offense is too mistake prone.

Skins pull the upset. Skins 24 Seattle 20. We don't usually win these games, but we usually play them close. This time saint cousins comes thru

Are they still running the read-option in Seattle?

They do some RO plays from time to time.

Regarding this game, Seahawks 56 Redskins 13. Kirk throw five picks and has another fumble. Seattle has two defensive scores and one special teams score, thus the big blowout. Fed Ex field empty of Redskins fans by the third quarter.

(Edited Kurt to Kirk.....and to all of the Cousins fanbois he is still 1-5 as a starter, at this stage I could careless about RG vs. KC debate, I want to see this team win)
