I already made a best Redskins game thread. So what was the worst Redskin game last year? (and don't say all the loses, pick one)
Heres some candidates:
Rams- Josh Morgan made all of us pissed off by chucking the ball at Finnegan. Had he not of done that, we more thank likely would have had that game sent to OT, where anything could have happened. We also lost 2 key defensive players in this game in Orakpo and Carriker.
Bengals- It was our first Redskins home loss. We had a chance to tie the game late with under 2 minutes to play, but RG3 was sacked and that was the game. It was though a fun game to watch. AJ Green also destroyed our seconday.
Falcons- We lost to a good team by 10 points, but it was also the first game we got hit with the reality that those RG3 injury rumors were real, when he got concussed and knocked out of the game.
Giants- The only NFC East loss last year. And you can argue that we should have won that game had GOD DAMN MADIEU WILLIAMS OF RAN WITH CRUZ AND NOT BEEN FLAT FOOTED!!! This was also the game we lost one of our best offensive weapons in Fred Davis.
Steelers- They literally kicked our ass. We beat ourselves too that day. RG3 threw probably four TD passes on the opening drive: the problem is that only one of them was caught. Then Mike Shanahan got the brilliant idea that he should send his recently injured QB on a wheel route down the field to catch a pass, only to get leveled by Ryan Clark. If there was ever a game that you would say "We deserved to lose that game" it was this one.
Panthers- Again, another game which we beat ourselves. This was the game that Kyle Shanahan called the same F***ing play on the goal line to get us stopped on 4th down. Credit the panthers though for playing good defense against the option. Also the one good thing out of this loss was that it sparked us to win 7 straight and make the playoffs, as well as Shanahan giving the whole "Re-evaluate speech".
Seahawks-This one hurt for many different reasons. Was it a bad game like the Steelers game? Not really, but we had a hobbled RG3 most of the game. We had a 14-0 lead and were playing great, beating that team which is slowly becoming our newest rival. A lot of people said "If we had a healthy RG3, we win this game." While I don't think its a sure thing, I believe that we certainly had a much greater chance of beating them and would have definitely put up more than 14 points. This as we all know was the game when we all saw RG3's knee bend in a direction we all know it shouldn't go, with most of us instantly knowing that he tore his ACL. It was also the game where Sherman and Browner were bullying our WR's, trash talking (as usual), but best of all, Trent got the 'final word' with Sherman after the game.
If I had to go with a least favorite, I have to go with the Steelers. It was the only skins game last year which I was heavily contemplating changing the channel. Plus theres only 3 teams in the NFL that I despise, and the Steelers are one of them. It also stings that the next time we get to play the Steelers will be in another 4 years (in a meaningful game that isn't the preseason).
