punch it in 09-09-2013, 10:53 PM Bad...first half, run defense(but damn Mccoy is a beast), Rambo looked not just like a rookie but a liability, penalties, missed fg, Kerrigan concussion, the safety.
Good...Second half, Griff looked sharp and the shot of him on the bench in the midst of the comeback shaking his head just screamed "ok im ready now", Hank, Kai's kickoffs. edit..HELU
Bottom line is that when your star player isnt playing like one it is going to infect the entire team - the D gets tired and frustrated, the run game doesnt work rite, the wr's get dejected, but as soon as Griff found his rythym mid way through the third quarter it energized the entire team. I am still just as confident that this team is going places this year as I was at 7:14 pm tonite. I am completely chalking that up to a warm up game for Griff - I wanted them to put in KC and give us a chance to win, but in retrospect now, I am happy they let RG-3 work out the kinks because the next 15 games greatly outweigh week one.

skinsfan69 09-09-2013, 10:55 PM We were soundly beat by a better team. Let's give credit here to the Eagles. I think this entire town overlooked Philly and forgot how good McCoy is. How good Michael Vick can still be. He's really in the perfect offense and really made some nice passes. But what surprised me most was their total disrespect for our offense. They blitzed us constantly.
skinsfan69 09-09-2013, 10:57 PM Someone mentioned this in the game thread. RG3 got hit a couple of times, but I'm glad he did and shook it off.
My big concerns going forward are:
- Alf's running game
- Lack of pass rush
- And our perennial issue with the Safety position
Things to look forward to:
- A midseason form RG3
- Hank developing his WR play
- Helu pass blocking as the 3rd down back
Why are you worried about Morris? He had one bad fumble but that pitch was on RG3. Not worried about Morris. I'm more worried about the shitty blocking I saw.
WillH 09-09-2013, 10:57 PM I had a feeling that they would have RG3 play conservatively within the pocket to start, but I didn't anticipate him struggling like he did. It wasn't until he started playing loose and moving around that he started playing like himself. I don't mean to suggest that he can't play from the pocket, but perhaps it s just too new to him, and he is too much in his head trying to find the balance between running wild and being immobile. He'll find it, and I really hope he does soon.
GTripp0012 09-09-2013, 10:57 PM 0-1 isn't anything to get worked up about, as the first week tends to be the least predictive. Anyone remember how good the 2011 Redskins played in the opener?
0-2 is a different story. If this is a playoff team, we'll take a lot of frustration from this first half out on Green Bay. Problem is, they're looking to do the same thing to us. There's no such thing as a must win in the first two weeks, but even good teams that begin 0-2 usually don't recover to make the playoffs.
Green Monk Machine 09-09-2013, 10:58 PM Devestated. I will not forget this game. How do we rebound, have an early bye, and play out this shedule when we drop games to lesser teams? I feel so blindsided by this loss.
Next weeks packer game isn't even being televised in the Bmore area, instead they are showing 'Romeo must die'.
FML.

I'm not THAT worried about him, but I just expected him to be better. Hopefully the game shook off his rust.
HailGreen28 09-09-2013, 10:59 PM So is Griffin's knee still hurt, or is it psychological?
And he was getting killed in the pocket. One of those slams was straight out of WWE.
mooby 09-09-2013, 10:59 PM It looked like RG3 seemed to shake the rust off in the second half, hopefully that carries over to next week. Just a slow start and our defense being the first to be introduced to Chip Kelly's up-tempo offense obviously didn't help. Things to be concerned about for me going forward are the lack of a running game and the back end of our defense.

Well I would say Philly started to play a little prevent too. Griff did not play well at all. It was almost like the Eagles knew he wasn't running so they just blitzed.
