Redskins vs Vikings Gameday thread

[Ruhskins]

While you can point to multiple people/coaches for the loss, I feel that Minnesota's o-line and d-line outplayed the Redskins front 7 defenders and the o-line.

You can fire and hire all the people you want, but until you get solid players in the trenches, you're not going to win many games.

Haslett got outcoach by Norv big-time. Norv made adjustments at halftime, Has didnt

Their d-line played very well too, the Vikes have a good defense and it showed.

I've said it many teams, each of our team's three units are not good enough to carry the other two. You win games by having all your units play well. Offense left a lot of points on the field in the first half and the defense shit the bed in the second half.

I've been reading these non-stop rants of yours and your twin CASkins for two days now and, believe me, it is tiresome at this point. I'm sure you've made your point with everyone by now. RGIII is probably our QB for the rest of the season and there's nothing you can do about it, so try to deal with it.

The Griffin bashing from fans and media is crazy. I actually thought he played well enough for us to win the game. We expect more from him, and it looks like he's still doing some of the same things as last year. But he also made some very nice passes and really helped open up the running game. Garcon could have helped his QB out with a drop that went right through his hands. That would have been a big play. What I want to see is improvement from yesterday to Tampa.

Griffin led two drives to put us ahead in the 2nd half but the D blew those leads.

Some words about the D-Line:

Barry Coefield has been missed.

We've not been able to put on the field the D-Line we've envisioned, Coefield and Hatcher at 100% fucking up Olines. Really looking forward to seeing that.

Someone go back and find my post about Steven Bowen being a huge mistake when we signed him. He's been a major FA bust by Bruce. Bowen needs to go and may be time to move on from Jenkins.

Chris Baker and that arm flailing beast Frank Kearse have been decent.

Gruden was not happy with the defense post game...he didnt call anybody out, but it was obvious in his interview.

I felt like Bowen was good last year but this year it looks like age is catching up with him. He's not even starting anymore so clearly the coaches agree. And what's up with Cofield? I can't even remember what he is injured with.

Well, clearly, it was RGIII's fault for not putting us further ahead. <sigh>

Leg injury with cofield, he's set to return during the bye. I cant wait to see him and Hatcher ballin. Plus I just like the name Barry, especially for a NT

Bowen obviously isn't 100% coming off that knee injury.

III did not play a bad game, but he didn't play a good game either... I'm sick of people making excuses for him... We drafted him to be a top 5 QB and he simply isn't... He isn't going to lose games, but he will never win you games either... That dirt throw to a wide open Garcon really opened my eyes... He will never be what Luck and Wilson already are, and we paid a very hefty price for his services... I can't even remember the last time he won a game... What does that say about him???

And how Haslett still has a job is mind blowing... His defense has never been any good, here or with the Rams... How is he still employed?

I expected that performance by RG3, meh. Made a couple good plays (escape play to Helu, all the throws to DJax), and made a couple terrible ones (Int, last throw, holding the ball). He's rusty, like most would be.

The most aggrevating plays to me are when guys dont help him like the back to back drops by Alfmo and Garcon on the deep pass in the 3rd(?) quarter. We cant be dropping perfectly thrown balls.

Awful, awful, awful loss. Huge opportunity with Cowboys losing and now Foles out likely for an extended period of time.

Let's see what we're made of. Recent history suggest this team will fold in the 2nd half of the season. Another wasted season appears to be upon us.
