Griffin missed an easy throw when it mattered, offensive line sucked, defense FORGOT to show up most of the second half.

RG3 makes the O line look bad by holding the ball for 5 seconds.

Bowen was horrible, I have never seen a 300 lb DL knocked 10 yards out of his gap.... twice

I never knew they ever like looked good...but you can't discredit the Vikings D they are pretty good

Int before halftime with 10-0 lead which turned into a 10-7 lead was horrible.

U score 26
D has to do their part, they did not
It's on them, and teams. No return game
not Roberts problem

Roberts stank it up on punt returns today. There were 2-3 instances where he DEFINITELY should've fair caught the ball instead of getting blown up after the catch.

I know they're trying to preserve DJax because he's our golden ticket, but man, what I wouldn't give to see him return at least 1 or 2 punts a game.

Yes this game was on haslett. No doubt. Dude has been a loser his whole life. How he stays employed is one huge mystery. Especially through a coaching change the year after he breaks records for defensive ineptitude.
That being said, we gave up alot for Griff. The hope was he would be a top five qb. I have not seen that minus one 5 week run his rookie year. He has been hurt. I get it. He is in a new offense i get that. Those things have nothing to do with him continually holding the ball for too long. Where is your internal clock? Those things have nothing to do with a horrendous int before the half. You CANNOT make that throw. Take the ten point lead into the half. Those things have nothing to do with throwing the ball in the dirt on a 6 yard pass play and the SEASON on the line? There has to be accountability for those things. So like i said let him play the rest of the season. If those brain farts dont stop than I am done making excuses. Than it will be time to move on.

Or even Moss or punt returns. Wtf is the point of activating him and having him suit up if he's never going to see the field? Why aren't we making changes where changes could be made?

I feel like we're just slamming square pegs into round holes.

Tough loss, kinda what I expected. D gave up too many plays to a rookie QB, they struggled to get get off the field on 3rd downs. Going on the road after a big MNF win is a tough task.

Wish we would have stuck with the run more. Morris was gashing them good at times. Seems like we always get away from what's working. Griffin played well enough, but didn't make enough plays, mainly the last one. But tossing the loss in his lap is ridiculous.

Today's game boiled down to Norv Turner out-coaching Haslett. Skins nearly had a shutout in the first half, then Turner made adjustments to which Haslett couldn't respond. Physically, the defense played well. Best tackling I've seen all year. I'm hesitant to criticize RG as Minnesota has a top tier defensive line and out pass protection is awful; plus it was Griff's first game back.

I feel like Haz didn't make any adjustments. Sometimes the defensive schemes are so bad I wonder if he's watching pre-game video to study what kind of schemes he needs to be calling against certain teams or if he just runs the same set every game and adjusts from there. Like, you're against Patterson and Jennings, they're no scrubs, they're fast guys! And for some reason, you're calling zone defenses so they can run right by the CBs? All these soft ass zones were ridiculous and leaving dudes wide open all over the field.

The secondary looked bad and confused, but the schemes Haz were calling weren't doing them any favors.

Same old Skins. I think the blueprint is out of Grifffin. Blitz him up the middle and he just panics. He made a lot of plays and he sure helps out the running game, but he still has such a long way to go as a passer. But it's his first game back. But the difference in the game was that int before the half. Worst pass ever. Also Teddy B looks pretty damn legit.

Haz, man WTF is up with all the blown coverages? Inexcusable. And Clark just has no athletism at all. Neither does Merriweather. Get Thomas in there the rest of the way.

Sucks to lose but this is pretty much what I was expecting. Close game and could have gone either way.

Goin into game I thought Bridgewater needed to have a good game to beat us. Was totally wrong. He played like crap mostly with missed throws, but still got the win. Skins were outcoached today in every phase of the game. Haslett called a soft game without any adjustments and Gruden was too pass oriented even with Morris balling.

What's most frustrating is watching this team outcoached season after season. Seems like the quality prospects just won't look at our team anymore. Maybe because of Snyder's past behavior? Or maybe because the FO sucks? Hard to say looking on the outside in.

Bridgewater missed some but overall I was very impressed. He actually climbs the pocket when he's pressured, has really nice footwork and keeps his eyes downfield. These are things Griffin is still struggling with.

This is a great post and I agree with you on everything.

I have always felt that people come here to DC to get paid - not because they seriously believe they have a chance of winning / developing players, etc..

It's even tougher to be a coach here because you won't have total control of the offense and moves like today prove that the owner is going to tell you who you should play, even if you, as HC, feel otherwise...
