Falcons at Redskins Post Game Thoughts

[skinsfaninok]

Hank really hasn't impressed at all since drafting him, Morgan is solid and PG just isn't 100%. Moss is old but he still could give us some good play as he did yesterday. My favorite out of the bunch is Robinson personally, I feel he's going to be a very good slot WR

I didn't see the the Falcons board screaming to fire their offensive cordinator because they had two plays that threw passes to a backup center.

Shanahan came in and said it would take 5 years. I'm willing to give him that. He's done a lot of good for this franchise and we are currently 1 game out of the division lead.

I have a strong feeling if we win next week, and go in to NY the following with the division lead at stake. The vibrations of failure could change around here.

Everyone is so easy to scream failure. I understand everyone has different opinions, but this day and age NFL isn't perfect.. People and teams will get better or worse. I believe we are getting better.

Packers got beat by the Colts yesterday, and they are now 2-3.. The worse team in the NFL last year just beat the team that was in the Superbowl. I believe we were an injury away from perhaps winning against a team that is now 5-0 this year.

We are not as far off as people think in my opinion.

Fair enough except the comment about not one team that is perfect. Actually 5-0 is perfect and of course the falcons board isnt screaming- they won? There is a big difference between the skins being in the beginning of their third losing season in a row and last place in the division again and the falcons throwing two passes to their back up center. There is nit-picking and there is being sick of losing. I think anybody that follows the nfl would agree that redskins fans should be a tad bit more upset with the current situation in washington than the falcons fans in atlanta. We are still a team with a lot of question marks and the falcons are a team that is considered a super bowl contender.
That being said - i will leave shanny out of this because like it or not he is here. My positive thought is there is a ton of parody in the nfl and we are not buried in the nfc east by any means. I hope rg3 is back sunday and we win against minn. we have all of our nfc east games in hand and maybe just maybe we turn this around.

Fair enough, but there is also a big difference between 5-0, and 16-0. We can have the perfect discussion later down the road in the season. 2-3 is not is not 6-10 or even 2-14.

It's scary how accurate that is LOL!

I also wondered why Grossman wasn't the 2nd string. Isn't that why we have him? To come in and get us out of a jam? A little unfair to have a rookie QB try and come in cold off the bench and try and win the game.

Yeah I thought that was a poor decision

. The problem with the defense came on third down as they allowed nine of 17 to be converted. That’s how you let a team run 81 plays – 33 more than the Redskins. It didn’t help at all that the Redskins were only one of nine on third down, making them three of 20 in the last two games combined. This has been a season-long issue and if they don’t improve here, it’ll be tough to sustain consistent success. As Robert Griffin III matures, it’ll help the conversion rate. This was not his best game, injury notwithstanding. Back to the third-down chatter: The offense needed to help out the D more. If the idea is to keep an explosive offense off the field, they failed miserably. You can’t give the Falcons 81 plays and expect to hold them down. They have too much talent.
Pretty much sums it up.

You refrenced green bay as the team in the superbowl. He was pointing out that the giants were that team because they won it. Anywho......

I said this yesterday and somebody (forget who) lol'd me. Lol'd me can ya believe it? Lol
Edit: bucket you lol'd me in the gameday thread. I said i thought grossman was better than cousins (obviously meaning rite now as a backup - i did say cousins was a wasted pick - i stand by that - rex would be a better back up for the short future and still think the pick could have been used for secondary / line? And we will have time to replace our backup )

I don't know, I personally think Cousins is better then Grossman. So Cousins threw 2 INT's thats exactly what we got out of Grossman each game last year so the team is no worse or better at second string QB.

In the perfect world the team would be putting up 20+ points more then their oponants and Cousins could see some action in the 4th quarter. Maybe he should get more practice time since RG3 knows the offense pretty well. Let Cousins get more practice time so if he has to come in he will be ready.
