We pretty much allowed ourselves to yet again buy into the midseason hype that we were better than what we actually were. The thing that kills me in the total lack of consistentsy in terms of intensity. We beat the Packers only to flop the rest of the way. Damn, our last playoff win was 17 years ago. I was 30, now I am pushing 50. I hope to watch us win a playoff game before then.

The Redskins' last playoff win was actually 12 years ago. We beat Tampa Bay in the Wild Card game after the 2005 season.

Awww, man! That game sucked turds, outside of us getting the win.

It was right at that moment that I surmised Mark Brunell was falling apart, and was basically done as a starting QB in this league. That dude basically stunk up the joint the following season. He could only throw short routes, and it took everything in him to throw it deep. Horrible!

Re: Off season begins.

Anyone else on the final pick today also, just a little even, feel like Garcon (and this is rare IMO) flat out got beat TO THE BALL? .... Cuz after the replay i kinda felt that way.

Cousins had three options. Run into fg range on first down. Throw it away. Take a sack. All three would have probably led to at least a tie.
He chose to throw an errant pass.
Fuck him.

I agree, but was just asking about the play on the ball. Just seemed like he got beat to it, didnt step into the pass whatsoever or even try to last ditch effort knock it down

Kirk got greedy and trusted his Arm to make the play, he should have ran the ball for a few yards..

Yeah I know. I would have to see it again, but I think it will be a loooong time before I can watch that. Lol. Even if he did though it really doesn't matter. You cannot throw that right there for any reason whatsoever. But we all know that.

He also had Reed open which is where I thought he initially was going to throw till he saw Garcom across the middle but by the time he could wind back up DRC had made up the yardage.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

Re: Off season begins.

The run game starts up front. Our front 5 got owned. We could have a ran it all day but when you're getting 2 yards a pop at a certain point you have to move on and try something else.

And we lose. When we run the ball and have a balanced offense we win. Period. We don't win with cousins throwing the ball 35+times. He's not Brady, brees or Rodgers. I don't think mcvay understands that fact.

LG and Running back needs to be address in the offense first and foremost. Then we need to resign a starting WR and make a decision who starts on the opposite side. How about TE? Reed, Niles Paul and carrier all seem to be injuried off and on throughout the season. Vernon Davis is an old man....zero surprise if we look at TE middle round in the draft and we should.

To simply say the offense is "just fine" is absolutely the biggest smoke and mirrors bullshit with this team.

I agree with this. And you can simple look at our offense and see how many weapons we have, yet the formula for stopping us is simple: take away the running game, get to Kirk Cousins and rattle him - your good! That's exactly what happened yesterday.

The formula for success is simple: Build offensive line, build the defense. We have enough at the skilled positions for it to all fall in place.

It's not that simple - that's like saying, just build the roster and go win.

We need a little retooling on the O line. Can AK or Nsechke play LG? We need an upgrade there. We need to resign at least one WR and that is banking on Doctson panning out. D is the real project. A starting FS, safety depth, NT (if we stay in a 3-4; not sold on that), and at least one more DE, preferably two. I wonder whether we have Murphy beef up again and play DE and hope that Gillette can get healthy (may be a pipe dream to think we actually get something out of him). I think we need MLB help too. And CB depth. Hopefully, with better play up front, Breeland can have a better season (and Norman too). But a LOT of work to do on D.
