I think it goes back to staying out of 3rd and longs. And that ties in with the penalties too.
Amazing when you think about it that we've still been able to overcome that and put up all the points we have.
I do like the fact that we have had a LOT of big plays on offense, something that this team was sorely lacking. I was a bit surprised about penalty and penalty yards, although I am sure some of it has to do with the replacement refs. Still, given all the offensive production, I feel that this team has a lot of potential and it is a frustrating to see that 3rd down conversion percentage.

Or maybe we should be 3-1? I'd be more upset if we were playing really smart (i.e. no silly penalties) and struggling to get our offense going.
Maybe we should be 4-0 actually. Im just being real - i see an offense that if garcon can stay healthy and smart is going to be ferocious by the end of the year. If i had to lay money on the line though SS and pick a record im saying 5-11 maybe 6-10. I mean the Bucs arent good. We trashed their run d - but i already knew we had a good run game. I am in love with our offense. My two biggest problems with the team are of course the secondary - who hung in there yesterday and gave me faint hope on that end but mainly is ms and ks taking their foot off the gas when we should be putting nails in coffins. Its as if they dont realize what they have in rg3 yet?

I only cuaght a quick glimpse of the clipping penaltgy but it seemed sorta iffy to me. Looked like he tripped into him. Am I wrong about that?
I believe it was Kory L and i didnt see a trip. The Oline was getting out to block Polumbus's side and in the flow to get to the outside he was beat and went right at the back of his knees taking the guy out. I thought it was a pretty clear call.

Funny because just a couple of years ago so many people were all "Oh man, look at the Bucs! They're 10-6. They turned things around so quickly! Why can't we???? Blah, blah blah"
Love how when a QB struggles it's all because of the coaches but a QB does well and it's in spite of the coaches
Key injuries for one. But more importantly, offenses didn't have to try as hard last year to outscore our offense
Ravens and Steelers (two perennial AFC powerhouses) have more penalties per game than we do.
****ing idiotic. What the **** did you draft RG3 for if not to use his ****ing talents. This whole "they run RG3" too much is ****ing stupid.
I got nothing
Let's rehash the Carlos debate
Also moving forward please don't say my ideas are ****ing idiotic. I never have or never would disrespect your opinions that way and would appreciated if you extended me the same respect.

These are the type of penalties I was referring to. That is a reflection of coaching. IMO.
Shanny should have yanked Garcon's ass outta the game and dressed him down on the sidelines in front of the entire team. No excuse for that play.

Even you said a few days back you got tired of the Wizards and their management and basically gave up on them. Some of us on here today kind of feel the same about the Skins right now (though I am not giving up; I am more or less saying I am disappointed in the product).
Dude, When life gives you paper jams, turn them into paper footballs!

Really?
He's only on pace for 4,000 yards passing and 1,000 rushing.
