Our offense is Pathetic

I don't like Aikman as one of the broadcasters/commentators in the booth for the redskins games. He just pretends to be unbaised, but if you notice - he will discretely say negative comments and critize the redskins (especially critical with Campbell's decisions), but say only good things about the opposition.

Campbell made the wrong read, he should have waited a split second longer, Smoot is lucky that he wasn't called for the force out - I never heard that before in my life: being lucky for not being called for a force out. Pay attention, it's like he subliminally injects these thoughts into your head. I wanted to put it on mute, but I like to hear the game.

Oh yeah, I like the criticism of Campbell's long passes being too flat. I don't know if I agree with him or not, but I don't want him making me think like a damn cowboy like that. Because that's also the first time I heard something like that too - a pass being too flat.

I guess if you want to spin it that way, but I don't buy it personally.

Aikman is pretty fair and balanced with all the games he does. I've heard him say plenty of positive things in regard to the Redskins. It all depends on what you choose to hear.

I agree. For my money, Aikman and Buck are as good as it gets, and that includes Madden and Michaels. The only reason they had Albert and not Buck yesterday is b/c Buck did the ALCS on Fox Saturday night.

Smoot didn't and shouldn't have been penalized on that play. That play was legal - I never say his hands in his facemask or anything like that. If you are saying that he was blocking his vision of the pass/ball without touching the receiver - that is perfectly legal.

No its not. Its called face guarding and its illegal.

That's what I thought until I listened closely. I just don't remember him saying something positive about the redskins without also saying something negative.

I don't know anything else to say. Speechless. Our defense is too good for this.

You and the rest of the defense played great. The wideouts need to remember the fundamentals. Any one of those drops could have changed the outcome of the game. I think things will get better ..one bad game doesn't turn a good player into a bad one. JC put up a great effort with little help. I just wonder where the intensity is in the receivers. Looking at them during the game, they didn't seem very amped up.
Keep doing what you're doing. We love you guys. You are the best.

Well if he was perhaps it was Betts fault for not getting deep enough on his route.

Either way I don't think we have conclusive enough evidence to say it was a coaching blunder. Not when there was a wide open guy that JC flat out didn't see. The play was there, the execution was not.

Maybe Betts didnt get deep enough, good point. My point is Betts was the 1st look, if he's open he gets the ball. He was so he did. JC executed the play correctly.

No its not. Its called face guarding and its illegal.

If I'm not mistaken, face guarding is no longer a penalty under nfl rules.

Ask Jerry Markbreit on ChicagoSports.com (http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/askthereferee/cs-061212askjerrymarkbreit,1,2292725.story?coll=cs-bears-asktheref-headlines)

Can you call pass interference on a defender if he is turned toward the wide receiver, not looking at the ball, waves his arms, but doesn't touch the wide receiver at all? Say the ball is in the air and hits the defender in the arm because he deflects the pass. Again, he doesn't touch the WR, but isn't looking at the ball either. --Dawn Polomsky, Phoenix, Ariz.

Many years ago, there was a penalty on pass plays for "face guarding." What you describe is face guarding. There is no penalty under current NFL rules for this act, unless there is physical contact. If the ball hits the defender, as you describe, the play would be legal. It is dangerous for a defender to turn his back on the direction that the ball is coming from. If he contacts the intended receiver, it would be pass interference because the defender is not playing the ball. You seldom see what you describe, but it would not be a foul.

yeah, it's only a rule in college now I believe. Stupid cause it's a 100% judgement penalty. Plus...who cares about that play, it didn't affect the game in the end.

The coaching staff is killing this team. They mismanage the clock, take a timeout and then call a 2 yd pass play when they need 3 for the 1st down.

There is a lot of talent on this team but the coaches stink.


UR CLUELESS!
