Ugly week 1 again... Post game thread.

[mredskins]

High probability we go 0-4, I say 1-3 but that Rams game is on the road, might be tough to win. Anywho even if we go 0-4 changes won't come until the off season.

Funny Stat: Trent Williams (1 TKL) and Brandon Scherff (1 TKL) each had more tackles then Junior Galette (0 TKL) in the game.

I don't see 0-4, If we beat the Rams I'd say 2-2 is possible. The nfl changes week to week. If we lose to LAR then I'll say 1-3.

Well the Chiefs just spanked the Pats so doubtful we win that and Oakland has more budding talent on offense than we do. So I'm thinking maybe 1-3 but most likely 0-4

I believe that Jay Gruden values players' knowledge of the system much more than he should. Production is what counts. Football is still about blocking and tackling. I don't think our best players are on the field.

For example, the OL needs drastic change. There is nothing wrong with giving another OL combination a chance since the current one isn't working. And we need to start thinking outside of the box.

Try Roullier at C, move Trent to LG, and start Nseke at LT. Then we'll run the ball. I'm ready to argue this with anybody.

We may beat the Rams. I really don't see us beating the Raiders or KC.

I felt yesterday like everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I mean Crowder's fumble? Jeebus. I just hate that we start so slow every year and that's on coaching. I think the most noticeable thing for me was the lack of chemistry with receivers (Kirk also looked a little tight). Defense looked VASTLY improved to me. We didn't constantly get gashed with the run game against a pretty good offensive line. We got pressure, we stuffed the run and did pretty well in the passing game. I know Wentz had over 300 yards, but it as a couple of fluke big plays. Maybe I'm just excusing it, but thought the D played pretty well overall.

Lauvao I'm still hating on SO much. I know he's just one player, but he just lets SO much pressure in. It's one thing to have a bad player, but he is the pure result of almost all of the pressure up the middle.

I think if Kirk can work out his timing with the new receivers, I think the offense will be just fine. I worry that next week we'll see a lot more of the same if we keep turning the ball over, considering Aaron Donald is just as good as Cox. Rams looked good, but still not worried about Goff. Their offensive line is not quite as good as Philly's.

I have hope, but was frustrated yesterday for old reasons at the same time.

8 months of anticipation to watch that? I knew having Pierre and D-Jax gone was going to sting. I still can't believe the Redskins let both of them go. Pryor won't come close to filling the void left from either one. I think I invented some new cuss words watching that game.

Until we can hit some plays over the top expect every team we see to blitz. Gruden needs to move Doc over to X and give him some of Pryor's reps. The guy isn't a number one wr so stop trying to make him into something he's not.

Doctson isn't a #1 either

At this point, we don't know what he is bc after full year he cant get on the field because he's soft.

He may be soft but he was out there yesterday and Gruden wanted to force feed Pryor.

Doctson needs to be out there period. And Gruden wanted to play Grant.

No surprise. Jay Gruden was not a qualifed head coach when we hired him and never will be. Doubt if a real GM across the league would have even given him a shot. Bruce Allen the politician playing President/GM (a position he's not even qualified for) wanted to hook his buddy up from years ago in Tampa. Snyder keeps Allen around because he can follow orders, play the part, talk the talk, and his dad was an icon. It's still a mess with this organization from top down.

You won't win anything if Jordan Reed who shows up on the weekly injury report is your only offensive threat. Outside of him, Trent Williams, Kerrigan, and Norman, the roster is still filled with below average and mediocre players forced to start (Ryan Grant) and we are starting a project at rb, Ziggy Hood at NT who probably wouldn't even make another teams roster, a QB transitioned into a WR as our #1 who had 1 good season and is still learning how to catch the ball, and backups like Morgan Moses as starters on the oline to protect our turnover prone slightly above average QB that will lose more games than win. We've wasted high draft picks on "safe" guys like Scherff instead of drafting a true impact player, Doctson who currently is just a name, and Cravens who decides to quit before season start to figure out his life.

Good coaches can make average players play better. Good players can make average coaches look better. Dysfunctional management hiring bad coaches coaching bad players results in what we saw yesterday.

6-10

the other side of the coin.

we (collectively) knew that the Skins would lay an egg week 1. That's what a Gruden coached team does. But, it wasn't as big an egg as the last 3 years. It looked like they got the dust shaken off by mid 2nd quarter, and kept it a competitive game.

The offensive line will get better, even if we see TW move to guard and bring Nsekhe in. (I always wonder why Nsekhe couldn't make the shift to guard).

Defense can defend the run a lot better, and also can defend the perimeter plays well. 3rd downs need to get better.

KC will not have another 4 turnover game this season except maybe against the Giants.

Crowder was dealing with something about his hip. I didn't know that. I think the offense gels next week.
