Falcons at Redskins Post Game Thoughts

wrong cult. You made the statement that no matter what transpired to RG3, we would have lost the game, period point blank.

My point is that we could not have known what would happen, but if recent history is any indicator of possible outcomes, then my statement is that it would have been very reasonable to assume RG3 had plenty of time, talent and opportunity to win the game. A player of his caliber can very well make a difference in that situation, and it seems that you would dismiss everything he has done over the course of the first quarter of the season, and chalk it up to him performing well against poor defenses and the like. Your statement is ridiculous, but if you would like to keep arguing it, go right ahead. Fact is RG3 is a playmaker, and him leaving the game definitely hindered the team, as well as our chances of coming out of the game with a W, which was WELL WITHIN REACH, no matter how you would spin it.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda; If, If, If. We lost to a great team, I'm not upset. Our QB is expected to play next week, according to reports.

When you watch a game, do you ever have a feel for the game like "I don't see this team winning" or "Theres no way the other team is coming back we got this" or "I don't see us winning"? I had that feeling today when I was watching the Broncos game, our game, our game against the rams, watching the Bears beat up the cowboys, to name a few recent games. I just felt like once RG3 got hurt it just solidified the fact that we weren't going to win the game, and thats why I said with him in there, we probably wouldn't have won from what I saw for 3 quarters (yes, I'll give it to you that he plays his best in the 4th quarter) from our team, Atlanta had a plan and did it well. This is a done subject. On to Minnesota, whom I think we'll beat IF RG3s playing.

Just got to watch the game, and am thankful for DVR because that was excruciating and "regular speed" would have killed me lol. The Falcons played their worst three quarters of football in the last three seasons, and then finally started to look like themselves in the 4th quarter. Up to that point Ryan was totally off his game. But you knew he'd get his head straight at some point and we'd lose (regardless of RG3's injury).

Once again we we're soundly outcoached in all phases of the game. The league has completely got Kyle's number unless he puts the game in RG3's hands.

After five games there are three resounding facts that any honest, intelligent observer has to make:

1) This defense is garbage compared to the one Mike and Bruce inherited.

2) Our best downfield targets are guys Mike and Bruce inherited. As I've said since the end of last season, Fred Davis is our best target and Moss second, though the way Kyle and maybe RG3 as a consequence force the ball toward other WRs, namely Garcon, our best WR isn't getting much work. Garcon just isn't very good.

3) And most importantly, the Skins are still far and away the worst team in the division.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it has gotten almost ridiculous to come here (I won't even go in to ES) and read posts defending the Shanahans, or anything about the current regime. These guys (not the players) are losers, in every sense of the word.

We have RG3, but to save him we've got to get a real coaching staff and FO in place.

I like how you get all upset when "the Shanahan apologists, especially a mod" belittle someone's opinion yet you seem to have no issue saying that whoever disagrees with you is basically not intelligent

I was at the game and it was very close until RG3 got hurt. I think that event deflated the team.

I really hope Shanny cuts Cundiff and signs Rackers plus Merriman. We need someone on the front 7 to command attention and free Kerrigan to make plays. He can be in a rotation with Jackson and Wilson.

Shanahan is not as good as people think. I think he needs replacing, but after this season of course. But that being said, he has done some good, namely RG3, Kerrigan, AlMo and Bowen, along with giving Perry Riley a shot to become a great player, which I believe he will be, and soon. But it just seems that Mike doesn't surround himself with the type of staff that is solid. I have said this before, but the game might have passed him by a bit, because in 14 calander years, I believe that an NFL head coach with his "history" should have had more than 1 playoff win. The defense is offensive, but there is hope with RG3. Its funny that the one game he quits using him as a second running back is the game he gets the shit knocked out of him, and gets knocked out of the game. That lad needs to know the situation, and understand that the extra two yards he got on that scramble was not worth that hit. Especially when you are trying to get an extra few yards for billy cundiff, who is gonna fvck it up no matter where the ball is on the field, 25 yards away or 55.

I don't know why everyone is hating on Shanahan.

I don't know why everyone is hating on Shanahan.

Because we lost and damnit, someone needs to be held responsible.

I blame Justin Snow

If only they had the offseason to get into a groove together. :doh:

Damn Cundiff is full of excuses.

Some of you guys are great sometimes. Honestly the D did fairly well at times today and gave the offense a chance to win. RG III could very well have won this game.

The defense now has three touchdowns this year. This team can win now if it would stay healthy.

Why are guys now saying Garçon sucks when after the Saints game he was the next big thing? Fellas this team is very young and will be adding more youth next year. When Shanny said this deal would take five years well.. It's going to take five years. Adding youth and developing the talent. Doesn't happen overnight.

I will say this one more time as it pertains to the Falcons they won against playing our fourth round rookie in crunch time.
Till then we had the game under control.

BTW Morris continues to impress the hell out of me, and Grant after he shakes off some rust will be a nice spell back for AM.

so I got home watched a bit and cundiff is just awful, wtf man?? Griff needs to learn how to throw the ball away, Morris looks really good, oline did a OK job , Wrs still aren't doing much, defense did a solid job. Kerrigan is amazing, Jenkins looked good.

Pretty much I think we win with griff in the 4 quarter but shit happens. This team isn't a playoff team anyway and Atlanta is just better. I still see 7-8 wins. As for some who have asked if Mike is going to be on the hot seat? I still think he's here one more year for sure.
