Redskins vs. Seahawks Gameday Thread

Ok so fire Haz. We still have Riley, we still have Biggers, Bowen isn't any good either. This is more of a personnel issue. It's more of not having enough good players on defense.

Look at the Cowboys with Marinelli, no Clayborne, Ware, Hatcher, MLB (Sean something), Bruce Carter and others and still play agressive competitive defense, it reflects their DC. Haslett looks lost like our D does many times. I would promote Baker as DC.

Lol... Ok "bro", you aren't? I think any fan watching their team fail for 23 years and go 4-18 since we thought we turned a little corner... Meaning, we've actually hit a 22 game stretch that may be our worst ever directly after that...


The trick is, not to take is serious. Lower your expectations and start being a realist. If you saw this team as anything less than a 7-9 or less (9-7 if everything went right), you are delusional. You already knew our DC was shit, and many of the same players from a 3-13 team were still on this squad. On top of that, we have a first year NFL coach feeling his way into the position. Now add the injuries to all of this. It's not going to be a surprise if the squad ends up with only 4-6 wins. We have some critical starters out of the lineup and match the Dolphins for the most injuries. Then to get mad because we don't beat the reigning world champs? Just setting yourself up for stress/anxiety for no reason.

I find it laughable that people expect the 85 Bears on defense. We're not a good team and to even have a chance at winning, both sides of the ball have to play well.

I was expecting another blowout like last week. We played slightly better, but no single unit is going to carry the other with this team.

Too many "moral victory" type comments tonight. The only reason the score wasn't much worse is that the Seahawks shot themselves in the foot with penalties all night long. We got a couple of long passes and one late drive that was halfway decent. That's it.

Baker has never been a DC. The change will have to happen off season i think. Actually, the defense settled down and played ok after a terrible start. They kept having bad field position but held Seattle on a few drives.

Cowboys are playing well on defense. But it's early. Long way to go.

My point is they play with intensity all the time, we don't.

Mistakes happen all the time, but our team cannot capitalize offensively on these mistakes or key defensive stops.

For example, after the Redskins scored their first TD late in the first half, the defense stopped the Seahawks and the Redskins had a chance to put some points before the half ended. Instead they went three out and had to punt the ball. They get the ball in the second half, and they only muster a FG.

You can't beat good teams by giving up these opportunities. We're bad and have issues/injuries on both side of the ball.

On that drive Roberts had a pass that hit him right in the hands. That would have been a big gain. Instead...punt. Biggest missed play of the game.

ISSUES .. keyword. The team franchise, offense, defense has serious issues.

Yeah, I'm venting. Sorry .. its just the first week of October, and knowing that we have a less than 1% chance of going to the playoffs, it would be nice at least entering December thinking we have a chance...

We also had a lot 3rd and short non-conversions that killed us. I think that opening drive in the second half ended in a FG because of a missed 3rd and short.
