Redskins vs Vikings Gameday thread

If you don't think RGIII is at fault for this game, then by all means, let me tell you about some beach front property I have to sell you in Tennessee...


I'd say the defense was more at fault here. The offense did put up 26 points, even with Robert struggling with holding the ball too long at times.

I feel like rg3 puts us in a better position to win. It was nice seeing Alfmo get open room to run, something that wasn't happening when rg3 was out. But mentally rg3 worries me. Game's on the line and you throw the ball in the dirt with a dead duck noodle throw when your WR has a shot at it.

Rg3 has all the physical gifts and is completely capable of still being a complete QB but dude crumbled when it counted.

Its his first game back in weeks so he gets a pass this week, also there were much more glaring issues on the defensive side of the ball, as this game shouldn't have gone into crunch time anyway.

Exactly how I feel right now, offense runs better with him in game, but that 4th down throw was a total brainfart. Have to hope its rust, and the more he plays the more comfortable he feels. The offensive line struggles today didn't help things. I think its better to live or die with him, that way if he is a bust. You can't keep trying to make it work, the rest of the QBs are just backups. We need to know what we have.

Not sure how rust contributes to shitting the bed in crunch time though. I think by the end of the year there will be great doubt about griffs future here. Great doubt.

I think part of the problem lies in the fact that with top brass and egos and all, no one would want to admit that they bought a pig in a poke with RG3.

There are things he brings to the table that are impossible to ignore - the arm strength, natural athleticism, etc... But other issues that are concerning like the diva mentality, rumors of alienating himself from the team.

I think the rest of this season will really / hopefully put any doubts to rest on whether or not Griffin is THE GUY.

U score 26
D has to do their part, they did not
It's on them, and teams. No return game
not Roberts problem

Roberts stank it up on punt returns today. There were 2-3 instances where he DEFINITELY should've fair caught the ball instead of getting blown up after the catch.

I know they're trying to preserve DJax because he's our golden ticket, but man, what I wouldn't give to see him return at least 1 or 2 punts a game.

I have been calling for Haslett to be fired for what seems like years... The defense and play calling was beyond horrible... Regardless, RGIII had an opportunity to win the game, and he threw one of the worst passes I have seen in a long time... He is not the answer to this team, and he is no where even fucking close to the value of 3 first round picks... We traded to finally have an answer to the QB position for the next 15 years, and he is and never will be that...

Or even Moss or punt returns. Wtf is the point of activating him and having him suit up if he's never going to see the field? Why aren't we making changes where changes could be made?

I feel like we're just slamming square pegs into round holes.

Tough loss, kinda what I expected. D gave up too many plays to a rookie QB, they struggled to get get off the field on 3rd downs. Going on the road after a big MNF win is a tough task.

Wish we would have stuck with the run more. Morris was gashing them good at times. Seems like we always get away from what's working. Griffin played well enough, but didn't make enough plays, mainly the last one. But tossing the loss in his lap is ridiculous.

Today's game boiled down to Norv Turner out-coaching Haslett. Skins nearly had a shutout in the first half, then Turner made adjustments to which Haslett couldn't respond. Physically, the defense played well. Best tackling I've seen all year. I'm hesitant to criticize RG as Minnesota has a top tier defensive line and out pass protection is awful; plus it was Griff's first game back.

Same old Skins. I think the blueprint is out of Grifffin. Blitz him up the middle and he just panics. He made a lot of plays and he sure helps out the running game, but he still has such a long way to go as a passer. But it's his first game back. But the difference in the game was that int before the half. Worst pass ever. Also Teddy B looks pretty damn legit.

Haz, man WTF is up with all the blown coverages? Inexcusable. And Clark just has no athletism at all. Neither does Merriweather. Get Thomas in there the rest of the way.

Sucks to lose but this is pretty much what I was expecting. Close game and could have gone either way.
