If we don't turn it over 4 times I'd bet we would have won by 10.
We were our own worst enemy today.
true that - lasting impression will be the td to cruz though - but yes we beat ourselves - i still say we win the division

The thing the bites the most about this game is the effort that RG3 turned in, yet our fate was the defense's hands.
Let me say this. Yes, the turnovers and penalties were egregious and unacceptable. But you don't let Victor fukcing Cruz run free on a fly pattern with a minute to go. That is simply unforgivable. And yes, I'm calling for Haslett to be fired.
Yeah, I'm baffled as to why our CB's didn't bump at the LOS to throw off the Timing and why we didn't have one Safety back just to eliminate that sort of play.

I blame Shanahan and Allen. Almost halfway through year three and our win loss record is the worst of the Snyder era.

Another one for moobys list...
Most definitely. A lateral move to the Redskins as d-coordinator? Sure, why wouldn't that be appealing to someone on an elite team with a good defense? Why don't we just see if we can get Dick LeBeau over here?
Make no mistake, Madieu Williams cheating towards the line in preparation to stop the short throw cost us big time today, but I believe the turnovers on 3 consecutive drives cost us even worse.

The foretold division leading/SB bound Eagles are in shambles, the Cowboys don't seem impressive this year, and the Giants were almost beaten. Its a possibility if this team can figure out how to resolve the secondary issues.

Overlooked is that the NYG's scored 26 points last week against the ferocious San Fran defense. This is not some pansy offense that rolled us.
At the same time, no way Cruz should be behind the entire defense on that play.
I am with GTripp ... that fact that we are starting M. Williams is somebody's fault. The personnel choices that ended w/ him starting need to be reevaluated. On the other hand, calls for Haslett's head at this point strike me as foolish and unneeded desparation.

Osi Umenyiora on RGIII: "That guy is flat-out unbelievable. I’m not even going to lie. That’s the best quarterback we’ve played this year."

Both of our safeties are out. Who exactly should they have brought in that would have done any better? I floated this before (not you) and still haven't received a answer to this.

Turnovers killed us. No need to look much further for the reason why we lost.
+1 and we fought our guts out.

So you want to go back to trading all of our picks for washed up players and signing lazy players to 100 mil contracts over drafting RG3, Morris, Kerrigan, and other younger players. Shanny deserves a fair amount of lumps, mainly trading for McNabb. But we have some pretty good young players, and we could rarely say that during the Snyderatto era.
Ok, after reading most of the chicken little stories, I might as well add one for Mooby's list.
If we are blaming people on the sideline for the Cruz catch, I say we blame RG3 for it. He is supposed to be Superman and clearly he didnt circle the globe fast enough to reverse time and give us another shot at that play. Trade him for a 7th rounder in 2035 and lets move on with the rebuild. Am I doing the hate for my favorite team properly?
