Decimated Offensive line

well....next week we're at home, against a very VERY VERY beatable team...considering what follows that game, our season hinges on this next game...Rabach and Wade need to play

The offensive line didn't cost us this game, the WRs and Portis (to a lesser extent) cost us the game.

However, the offensive line is shaping up to cost us this entire season. WRs dropping the ball, poor routes, fumbling - these seem like things that can be fixed with practice and coaching. You can't just go out and hire an entirely new offensive line. Campbell seemed to be scrambling more and more as the game went on and we lost Rabach and then Heyer. He was flat out under duress the last few series.

Basically we're screwed unless some of these backups seriously step up and Bugle manages to pull an ace out of his sleeve.

Offensive line collapses = season over.

This has NOTHING to do with Moss's dropped balls and Portis fumbling.

Let's not blame the offensive line for this loss.

No one is blaming the loss on the offensive line. Geez....:doh:

Well, we have a thousand excuses, and a thread for each one. Was it the conditioning coaches? The injured offensive line? Santana Moss? How bout, when everything needs to go wrong in order for this team to lose, they will find a way to ensure that everything goes wrong. This is the type of B.S. we used to see with Norv on the sideline. I love Gibbs to death, but this is loss is on him. This was a charicteristically mental collapse from a weak team that will always find a way to lose these games. This team does not have a winning mentality, it does not have a killer instinct. It is consistently momentum's bitch, and is entirely unable to pick itself up off the canvas when it's down. A loss like this is nothing short of pathetic.

Your kidding right... we are already playing with a replacement RT but RG and a lG we broughts in weeks before the season and now the C and RT go down again?

How are these injuries on Gibbs?

Yep we could and should have won this disapointing but hell it happens...we were 5-11 did you really think we were never going to lose again ?

What's happening to our O-line this year is indicative of just how fortunate we've been the last couple years in that area. Unfortunately, injuries are a part of the game, and the reason why depth is so important. Today we had multiple things go bad, contrary to last week. When we lose there's always someone or something waiting to take the blame, so if we want to play the blame game, there was enough to go around today.

Because so many things did go wrong that could go wrong, I'm not going to get excited about any particular facet that didn't perform to adequate expectations. It sucks that the o-line guys got injured. Right now let's wait and see the injury prognosis of Rabach and Wade before we worry our heads off.

Comcast Redskins post game says Rabach was feeling pretty good and so was Wade after the game. They were both walking around and moving around pretty well.

Heyer on the other hand had to be carted off and his injury seems far more serious.

I think we will need to make some sort of roster move if Heyer is out for an extended period of time. I don't know what's out there, but we are going to need some bodies at the rate this thing is going with the injuries! Alexander (DT) would have had to play RT at the end of the game if Wade didn't come back.

if anyone can do it...it's bugle...the guy is awesome
