Best quote from the whole article..

"A loss just means they remain an inconsistent and flawed team, still."

RGIII is fun to watch win or lose. He probably had an average game today, but he needs more help from his teammates and the coaches i.e. play-calling.

We were out-coached today. Not just on special teams, our offensive and defensive coordinators were bad today (Haslett really bad, but Kyle worse than you think). Mike was right there with them. Today's game was reminiscent of the last two seasons in that it's hard to see us contending under the current regime.

I'm sure people will miss this but Trent Williams played awful. I expected Polumbus to struggle but man the oline struggled today. I am disappointed in their performance.

Trent Williams had an up and down day. Robert Quinn is a great young pass-rusher who will be putting it on offensive linemen for a long time in this league. He beat Williams early on for a sack, but was held at bay for most of the rest of the game. Chris Long was the real terror, despite not actually getting a sack.

Williams dominated Quinn on the ground. Shanahan used Williams as his bell-cow in plowing the road for Alfred Morris, who ran a majority of his plays to the left. It was disappointing to see Williams give up a sack, but I would not use that to categorize his day as playing awfully.

- I would like to see our team act more like professional athletes, and less like street thugs. The scoreboard is the deepest wound anyone can show you.

Absolutely disgraceful how our guys let the chippiness get to them -- I am so sick and tired of DHall getting in everybody's grill. I understand that he is the professional athlete and I am just a fan and jawing is part of the game but why can't you just act like a professional, beat them play after play, and then celebrate when you make a really great play? and no offense, but his walk just does not back up his talk. And Josh Morgan needs to be severely disciplined for his actions -- he essentially cost the game.

Also, RG3 is taking too many hits -- he threw his INT right after taking a big hit and I am not saying there is a 1:1 causality but there had to have been some lingering effects.

I have no idea why people think Danny Smith is a good special teams coach -- every time the special teams makes the headlines it is for the worse. Making us suffer through Suisham and Gano...

I wish I could find a video of the defense today, and the snaps. The one were it's 3rd and 5 and C. Griffin is playing a 15 yard cushion. He starts back pedaling before the ball is even snapped. Ended up 20+ yards off the LoS and the Rams exploited it with a flanker route to the RB. He got 15 yards before anyone was near him.

We are going to need to score a lot this year.

This was a game where we were competitive. A 3 point loss is nothing to be ashamed of. Plus the Redskins are putting points on the scoreboard more frequently than in the recent past. I feel good about this team.

So far my prediction that this secondary may break the league's, passing yards given up, record is right on track. Sheesh! Fletch solidified my choice for new jersey this game though, he is unreal.
