Positive - We didn't get blown out.

Negatives - Everything else?

Lol I think I got it right.

"—The postgame locker room atmosphere was not exactly festive but in the opinion of many in the media there was too much laughter and joking around going on among players for a team that just lost to fall to 1-4. You don’t necessarily want the atmosphere to be funeral-like after a loss but it should be a bit more somber than it was. "

from Tandler article...thats a problem in my opinion.

Id like to see reporters ask Gruden about it today in the presser, but the Vets on the team should be handling that as well.

That's a huge problem. It doesn't matter who plays QB, CB, or any other position if folks don't give a crap about losing.

Some of the vets were part of the clowning going on.



This should be Jay Gruden.

Gahhhh....already looking forward to the first 2015 draft thread.

It's a lost season - there's no doubt about it. I'm not sure in hindsight how many of us were justified thinking that maybe things were going to be different this year. We were certainly right to have hope - afterall a new coach and some new players always initially brings some hope.

But we still had the same old typical redskins problems to begin the year - Questions about the offensive line, special teams, and defense. No solid identity at QB.

I also wonder how patient Dan Snyder will be with Jay Gruden - things don't look to good right now and I don't think it's crazy to imagine 1-15, or 3-13 team. Is there anybody out there that we could beat besides Jacksonville?

They say the plan is to start RG3 at week 8 - i don't think that's very smart because by then we are already playing for next year, and if by some reason we are still in the playoff hunt (most likely not possible), you might want to keep Kirk in there if by some way we are still in playoff contention....

Positives
1. We didn't quit.
2. We didn't get blown out.
3. The defense played well at times.
4. Cousins played better and didn't throw a int this game.

Negatives
1. The defense didn't adjust quick enough to stop Wilson on the read option.
2. The defense did not tackle well and allowed to many yards after contact.
3. Our pass rush did not stay in their rush lands which allowed Wilson to run wild while playing man 2 man defense.
4. Our special teams continue to play poorly this season.
5. Jordan Reed misses another game.
6. Playing at home is not a home field advantage for us.
7. We are last in the NFC East.

My blameometer is starting to focus more on BA than ever before. We have some real dumbf*#ks on this team.
Edit: just for the record it has been focused on Snyder n Haslett for a while now. Im just trying to share the blame to be fair.

Positives: Most of the tough part of initial schedule is over. Of the next 5 games, we have Tennessee, Minnesota and Tampa Bay (combined record of 4-11). Really optimistically, if we do what we should & win all of those, and get really lucky & win against either Dallas or Arizona (??) -- we could be 5-5 in Week 12.

Negatives: After that point, we'd have 6 really tough games down the stretch (SF,Colts,STL,NYG,PHI,DAL)

Yeah, we've been down this road just like a Thursday night game against the Vikings was supposed to be a winable game yet they got dominated, and the Vikes second string TE looked like a Hall of Famer. Not buying it, this is the same old Skins and another 10+ lose season.

Agreed. I love seeing how fans are predicting "certain" wins are so sure of this team. This team has won what, one game in the last 13? And that win was over a woeful Jacksonville team. Suddenly they can go 5-5 down the stretch or whatever?

No wins on this schedule are a gimme for this team, not with their talent or attitude for sure.

Surely you jest. I don't think there's anybody that we "should" beat. I'd bet there are fans on those teams' websites saying the same thing about us, i.e., "we should beat the Redskins". And they would be right, too. Yes, those teams are very beatable and so are we! We are not a level above those teams; we are smack in the middle of that class of teams.

The good:

• No INTs
• Showed some deep play potential
• 2nd half adjustments looked good (even if the execution didn't)
• Low # of penalties
• Low # of sacks

The bad:

• 3rd down eff. on offense -especially those 3rd and shorts
• total lack of a running game
• the 1st half gameplay on D- Did they watch any tape? FYI:Wilson can run
• Not going for it 4th and short
• the tackling or lack there of
• the lack of speed on D
• Special teams as usual- esp that fake kick Sea ran and the on-side kick

I honestly can't blame coaches on this one. There is just a lack of talent on the field. Partly it is them still recovering from the cap penalty, but a big part is the lack of 1 round picks because of the RG3 trade.

The FO had their work cut out this offseason.

The Washington Post believes the likelihood of contract-year OLB Brian Orakpo getting a big pay day from the Redskins is dwindling.

Orakpo, playing on the $11.455 million franchise tag, has just half a sack through five games, and has graded out as a bottom-11 pass-rushing 3-4 outside linebacker at Pro Football Focus. The Redskins could choose to allocate that money elsewhere in 2015 and pay OLB Ryan Kerrigan handsomely while developing second-round rookie Trent Murphy as Orakpo's heir.
