Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread

[BaltimoreSkins]

I got into my car to take my daughter to her grandparents and tried to decipher between Huff and Jurgesons senile ramblings what happened when Johnson scored a touchdown on a 4th down play. How'd that happen? any insight would be appreciated.

The defense is no better than last year and seems to give our competition chance after chance to win games...I know it is early....but look at the stats.
If we score 27 points....we should ALWAYS win.
Only crappy defenses lose at home with a 17 point lead late in the game.

Haslett...this loss is completely on you....fix it now

Haslett's track record is not pretty. I'm not sure that performance was his fault, but damn that was embarassing.

Well it could be worse, Dallas could start 0-3 vs Houston next week, and their supposed to be the best team in the NFC

This is my final analysis. Because we were effective in the passing game early on, forced Houston to abandon their great running attack. This actually played to the weakness of the defense. Ideally, you want the opposing defense to have to pass giving your defense a chance to take it away or incompletions. We don't have play making safeties of the such and therefore allowed mismatches. Every big conversion was mainly against the safeties, not Hall, Rodgers, or Buchanon. I'm still scratching my head with the switch to a 3-4 but, regardless of scheme, you have to play to your personnel's strengths. Play more man or cover-3 zone.

I wonder who that is now. Certainly not the Vikings and Cowboys like everyone thought. And it's most certainly not anyone in the NFC West......are the Bears the best team in the NFC?

Arguably the best WR in the game matched up against a Redskins safety.

[12thMan]

Packers are probably the best team in the NFC.

You can't tell in week 2.

No proper NFL safety screws that up. That was a thirty yard jump ball and Doughty didn't get one inch off the ground.

That guy is horrible.

He is that bad.

[skinsfaninok]

Yea Reed sucks, and we have to get 86 the ball more

^ packers, bears, colts, vikings, titans...If we play like we have been on defense against those teams, you can count all those as losses.

[Big C]

2 botched short field goals in 2 games as well. messed up hold week 1, blocked one this week. we were lucky the one last week didnt cost us, today it was a factor in us blowing the game. special teams in general have been a weak point. bidwell's punting hasnt impressed me, the punt/kick returns have been average, and the coverage teams have been average.

We can't beat STL playing D like that

[wilsowilso]

The offensive meeting will be short in STL.

Put Reed Doughty on the chalk board.....laugh out loud and then take the afternoon off.

I played football. That was a joke. We should have had Fred Smoot playing safety on that play. or Stanley Richards.
