Re: Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down

Jason Taylor played a great game as did Fletcher. Why Fletcher is not going to Hawaii baffles me.

Zorn called a good game too.

Zorn called a good game???? Can you give some examples of good play calls, I thought he made some absolutely horrible decisions this game.

Zorn tried to run the ball in the 4th quarter to no avail. The run blocking was just plain and simply awful. Let's not forget that running the ball in the 4th quarter is how we beat both Dallas and Philly earlier in the season. So he basically was going with what had worked before. This is another example of how the o-line brings this team down.

Okay, but after five consecutive possessions in opponents territory that ended with three-and-outs you think it would be time to adjust the playcalling and Zorn did not do that.

Thumbs up to Jason Taylor. It took em up until week 16 to show up to the party but nonetheless a player we cant give up on. I expect him to get to the QB next week in SF too. Itll be nice to have a healthy Jason Taylor next season.

DeAngelo Hall...RE-SIGN HIM! We Will. Hes Ours.

Re: Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down

thumbs up- Zorn's play calling. he called winning football. that game was all about field position.
thumbs down- Zorn, for trying that long field goal. the redskins were lucky that baby wasn't run back for a touchdown

Re: Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down

Thumbs up - defense and special teams; they put us in great situations to crush the Eagles pretty much the whole 4th quarter
Thumbs down - JC and the offense; had great field position in the 4th quarter and couldn't drive the dagger home. I don't know about you guys but JC is is not looking like a pro QB the last half of this season. I know that the o-line has a lot to do with the production of this offense, but he is not making good decisions. I would like to see an open competition going into next years traning camp.

Re: Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down

One other note about that 54 yard FG attempt, did you notice how Zorn called a timeout right before it?

Way to go for trying to ice your own kicker, Jim.

this is something that coach is definitely going to have to get better at. it seems like any decisions made on the sidelines are never made before hand. its always chaos. lets start thinking ahead, and save some of our timeouts

Come on dude! This was the first game in about two months where he actually had protection.............at the start of the year he had protection and did great. He'll do fine next week. He just needed one game of protection to get over his fear of being hit every single play.

Big Thumbs Down to Jason Campbell. He is terribly inaccurate, even when he isnt being pressured. There is simply no excuse for that. Hopefully we can trade him in the offseason. I'd take a 2nd rounder for him and be very happy.

Well I was buying into the O Lines fault until I watched the Dallas/Giants game. Both Dallas and the Giants O Lines had trouble protecting their QB but they still managed to get the ball down field. Also both of their O Lines gave up more sacks then ours did when we played them. While we do need help on the line I'm starting to get tire of all the excuses for JC.

Up: The D, and the punter.

Down: Campbell. He couldnt hit water from a boat yesterday. The few times he did succeed the receivers need to make great catches to reel in poorly aimed balls.

There were a few times though where it looked like the receiver maybe didn't run the right route. For example, there was one time when Thomas had to turn back in on a pass. And I suspect that there was a miscommunication there and I'll give the benefit of the doubt to JC there. I think they just need to play more together and that should get better.
