I chose dropped passes. Not only Moss but El, Sellers, Lloyd (although a tough one) ALL had critical drops in the game that would have changed the outcome.

They need to shake it off and come back next week with a vengance. AZ is no pushover on defense and they will hit you in the mouth.

I think it's a tie so far between the oline and drops. I think the drops are going to go away down the stretch, but there's not much we can do about the line. It's really hurting us when we play a team with a strong defensive front.

I wish "dropped passes" were changed to "Overall inconsistency / unreliability of the receiving corps"...

I'll go with dropped passes since thats why we lost yesterday and with only two losses on the season, thats most glaring to me....Theres too much blame to go around for the Giants loss, from the very top with Joe GIbbs to the very last player on this team, so I dont think we can call that public enemy #1...Yesterday I can point right to why we lost, so I'll go with dropped passes....

Now clock managment hasent killed us yet, but I think it might. It boggles my mind how the guys on that sidelines are getting paid 20 million dollars, and a girl is sitting in my basement who just started watching football within the year, knows when to call time outs.

The Oline injuries are huge..but honestly I think the guys who have stepped in have done a phenominal job. Obviously its not like having the starting 5 in, but I think these guys have really played hard and well given the circumstances.

Public Enemies:
#1 O-line:
With our Defense playing as well as it is, if we had ANYTHING going for us on offense, we would be 5-0. With a healthy Oline we would have a much better running game. I have seen some hate going CP's way, but he is still getting 6-10 yard carries behind this patchwork Oline; if it were healthy he'd be able to win games or us on the ground. Also, late in yesterdays game especially there were many plays when JC didn't get a chance to set his feet. We may have been able to pull out a W against GB and NY if he was given some time in the pocket.

#2 Drops:
Especially from Moss. It is killing us. Matty is right, if we had a couple more catches in our two losses we'd have won the games. I'll give Santana a pass for now because of the bad weather, but if he doesn't start making big plays for us soon, count this team out. (BTW, I know the wet ball is hard to catch, but Cooley sure was able to, and so was McArdell when he came in late in the game, so that is kinda a weak excuse for Moss, but he has single handedly won many games for us in the past, so I'll give him the benefit of doubt.)

Does inconsistency and unreliability have anything to do with coaching? I think it does.

I would say it has been consistent execution. We always seem to play extremely well in the first half and then lose all mojo in the second.

Drops, easily.

Going forward, I think it's going to be the offensive line, since that has a direct impact on the running game, and Campbell's ability to make multiples reads.

Yesterday, it was the drops...

I think the playcalling has improved the last two weeks. The drop passes have been, in my opinion, the one direct contributor to our 2 losses. There's no disputing that.

However, the clock management is where I cast my vote. I don't care how the clock is managed for 3 1/2 quarters, it's those last 2-5 minutes of the game that matter the most. This is one of the few times over the course of a game when the game is actually in the coaches hands.

It's been a reoccuring theme since Gibbs has returned, and I'm not sure what the problem is to be honest. But it doesn't help our confidence as a team when the game is on the line.

I think we "tense up" when the game is close and when it's in the coaches hands. Look, wide receivers and running backs are going to have off days - days when things just aren't clicking. But the coaches have to be on their on Ps and Qs when the game is tight. We seem so reactionary on the sidelines. It doesn't seem like we're thinking two or three plays at a time during the two minute drill.
