Our offense is Pathetic

Another poster said that with the outstanding defensive effort, this looked like 2004 all over again, and I couldn't agree more.

I hope you meant '05, because this team has nothing in common with '04. No QB controversy, a WR corps that (when healthy) is a damn sight better than the Coles/50-50 combo we sported then, a drastically improved offense (15th in the league in total offense as opposed to 30th where the '04 team finished), and so on..

9 seconds at the end of the game is at least one more play and can change things dramatically, especially being only down by 3 points.

And you never know, if the timeout is called before the 2 minute warning - would green bay call a pass play to try to put the game away with the redskins playing run. It's not that much of a stretch, considering Favre and co's gambling mentally.

Time was not our enemy at the end, momentum was. That, and the pathological inability to make a play by anybody not named Cooley or Campbell.

Speaking of the spot of the ball, the spot after Cooley's catch and dive for the first down marker was absolutely pathetic. I figured that we would be looking at 4th and under a yard instead of 4th and a yard and a half. Still doesn't excuse the poor read on the 4th down play. Bottom line though, there were numerous opportunities to win this game and the offense just didn't get it done.

I personally would not compare this offense to 2004's offense. That offense was terrible and had not hope for improvement. This year's offense has put the redskins in position to win games. 2007 to me is way different.

The only thing I can see our coaches did wrong was clock management at the end of the game. Other than that, it was individual screw ups on offense that cost us the game.

unfortunately, i dont think it would have mattered.

When you're down by 3 with a little over 1 minute left, one big thing that you are working against is time.

Of course the offense needs to make some plays, but it doesn't help to waste precious time on top of that.

It wouldn't have...9 seconds would have been all we got, and we had a turnover on downs to end the game, so it's not like the 9 seconds would have mattered at all.

Seriously! If it wasn't for Gibbs fumbling that ball (which was recovered for a TD), Gibbs bumbling that reception that ended up getting picked, Williams failing to get more of those picks, or Saunders getting blown past for sacks, we totally would have won that game. Damn you coaches!!

You are correct, Gibbs didnt do any of those things. Maybe they need to coach the players better on technique. The bigger problem is Gibbs and the coaching staff dont seem to put the O in positions where they can succeed. Gibbs cant control if JC throws a short pass to Betts missing a 1st down by a yard but he can call a play for a young Qb where the 2 yard pass is not the first read (and blow a TO to call it).

what about portis,I have a 300 dollar portis jersey my wife bought me 2 years ago what the f#$k am I supposed to do do with it, any suggestions?


You spent $300.00 on a jersey? Did it come with a lower section 50 yard line tickets?

The coaching staff put the team in a very good position to win. They put Moss in position to catch the bomb down the sideline, they put Lloyd in postion to catch the bomb down the middle of the field for a TD. They put the players in a number of winnable situations and they PLAYERS lost the game.

I can really see why some people have a problem with you. You make no sense.

Campbell rushed his read on that 4th down, he had McCardell wide freaking open but he just rushed and dumped it to Betts. I'll chalk that up to his inexperience and not anything to do with bad coaching.
