Where is SS, is he still celebrating the Jets win?

I think we need to wait until the bye week to start calling for RG3's head. At least then the season will be more than halfway over. No knee jerk decisions til then.

I hear you but if we are saying we are 7-9 8-8 team. Jax at home should make up one of those wins.

I don't think anyone is calling for his head. What's so bothersome about yesterday is we basically ran a high school offense for most of the game. To me it's more on Gruden. He called the game like he was scared. Very easy to put a TE on Watt's side and take his ass out of the game. You have to try and push the ball down the field a little more.

Good little vid in the middle of this article on RGIII.

I didn't have a problem with the plan. We all knew quick passes were going to be called early and often, and that's what the Texans were willing to give all day. I think Gruden would have liked to take more shots, on the first sack Griffin was clearly looking down field. There was simply too much pressure to dial up more long developing plays. To me it just came down to those two turnovers. That's 2 potential TDs left on the field. The entire landscape of the game would have changed if we even just came away with 10 points.

There were also instances where he either ran into the pressure for no reason (one time it took us out of FG range) or failed to actually step up into the pocket to avoid the pressure. Hopefully he can start correcting this.

Griffin has zero confidence right now. I believe SS said it but Grif needs a cupcake game that gets his mojo back.

Sadly Sunday's game probably knocked his fragile confidence wall down even more.

I'm not sure if he's lacking confidence, or the coaches don't have confidence in him. Did we give up multiple high draft picks to watch Griffin throw hitches and screens all day? Yeah the coverage was soft but so what? They have to open up the offense with more medium rage stuff. Get RG3 on the run a little more, do something. That was crap yesterday.

I think the biggest issue with RGIII is that he just didn't have adequate pass protection. He's trying to hang in there and stay in the pocket. But come on, Polumbus against Watts? That's a huge mismatch! Watts was unbelievable yesterday! It was like watching a video game!

If the 'skins had not turned the ball over when they did - especially deep in the redzone, we're probably talking about a good, tough victory. The running attack is outstanding. The passing attack will be better if the pass protection ever improves!

Bacarri Rambo needs to add a little jelly with that toast! Outside of him, the defense actually played pretty well I felt. We all know Foster is going to get his yards, but he didn't kill the 'skins. It continues to blow my mind how rare special teams miscues seem to be the norm for this team. A blocked XP and a blocked punt returned for a TD all in the same game? *sigh*

I keep telling myself to be patient, but man, it's tough!
