Another botched hold/block field goal. it's ALWAYS something. Holding flags negating TDs, blocked field goals (2 in 2 weeks) and it's not just THIS game. It's been horrible for a couple years now.
The bad hold wasn't Danny Smith's fault. He wasn't out there holding. Rocca just choked and messed up the hold. It happens. But it shouldn't.
The penalties on kick/punt returns though has been a glaring problem for the past 2 seasons though. I feel like every time we get a good return.. which is already few and far between.. it gets called back.

Apparently outside Santana, we have no other WRs.
So what else is new.

That's Smith's fault that Rocca fumbled the hold?

IF anyone is to blame it is the coaching staff. No real adjustments made at halftime that would allow for more than the one TD to be made. If your QB is struggling, you call plays that will help him out.
I agree with this. I blame the coaches more than I do Rex for this game. What the **** was Haslett thinking going on a all out blitz on a 3rd and 21 when you KNOW your CBs are mediocre at 1-1 coverage. Mind boggling. That in itself sealed the game. I think they should have ran more screen passes to counter the blitzes. I saw nothing really special from the play calling. Haslett did do a good job for the most part tonight, his one mistake came at the worst possible moment.

Somethings never change. At that something is Rex Grossman. He is addicted to turning the ball over. He loves it. Please trade into the top 10 and get either Luck or Landry!
Im so tired of never having a qb. F BOMB F BOMB F BOMB F BOMB.
Grossman even saw the guy coming and still decided to carry the ball in one arm, on the inside hand. I learned when i was 7 to carry the ball in the outside arm.
Ps I also liked Hasletts punt block formation on 3rd and 21. WTF was that????
I have never seen that before in my life. They have Dez Bryant the guy is huge! You have coverage over the top and make someone else make the play. It was a fu**ing gift wrapped present. Then Hall has to facemask too. Worst loss I have seen in any sport in a long time.
Agreed. Grossman is always a turnover machine, that's why 29 other NFL teams passed on him during free agency. There is no Good Rex/Bad Rex. There is always Bad Rex and occasionally you get lucky with a decent game.
But that's the decision the people in charge have made. Disgraceful loss tonight. Despite Dallas making a dozen key mistakes and missing multiple key people, the Redskins still lose.
Oh but they'll somehow stumble past a bad St. Louis team like they did against Arizona, go into the bye 3-1 and everyone will start talking Super Bowl again.

Rex looks despondent at the PC. Makes me feel better, not sure why. McNabb would be all smiles.

Rocca...Jacks the ball. He gets a pass.

It's a trend? Another guy on ES actually did research on D. Smith's special teams and had the numbers/facts to prove his point about the special teams. Needless to say, it wasn't good.
