Skins-Vikes Post game good & bad

He clearly states that scheme wise they could have done better. I dont think he is defending Haslett as much as he is blaming the players as well as Haslett. Like the Redskins....a weak defense.
Either way that guy is gone for good by next year. Hopefully sooner.

How many times do we keep saying that until it comes true?

As usual, Keim nails it:

i miss Portis. I loved when he would knock the snot out of defenders blitzing the QB.

Offensive coaches need to adjust to our poor o-line/pass protection. Every game, we seem to wait until the 3rd or 4th quarter to throw a screen pass that always goes for a lot of yards. And every time I ask why we wait that long to do such pass.

Thats an impossible question.
Edit/ Colt was probably feeling pretty confident after monday night. He gets the ball out quickly and understands the scheme. Of course Griff is the more athletic qb with the stronger arm etc etc.
Can you honestly say Colt would have lost the game? Im not saying one would have had a better chance than the other but I just dont think with everything going on rite now that its fair to say he would have won or lost. Who knows? Wish we could have a do over and find out. Lol.

That is an impossible question. RG3, from a statistical stand point, is the guy you want at the helm out of our 3 quarter backs. That's without question, and he played damn good for his first game since the beginning of the season. The thing is, statistics don't mean everything in football. Morale, momentum, confidence, and leadership are all real and important things.

I'm a bit superstitious admittedly, and I believe in Karma to some degree or another. Having Colt McCoy play his heart out and lead us to two game wins back to back, the first time since 2012 mind you, and then say "hey man, thanks for leading us to get those wins, but go to hell kid, Robert's back." That's bad joo-joo. Say what you will about McCoy, but every player on the field that night in Dallas was running on all cylinders with him behind center.

Whether there's tension in the locker room or not, I can't tell. Only the players and the coach have a feel for that, and it's better for everyone that it stays that way. I just hope that if there is they resolve it quickly. I'm not sure about you guys but I could give a damn less who's behind center. I want to win, and I'm sick of not doing so. Let's get a good look at RG3, and I pray he performs and takes this loss and turns it into a series of wins, but if he can't deliver wins, we need to find out who can.

No joke. Portis was da bomb in pass pro.

As an aside, given the defensive melt-down in the second half, and the breakdowns in protection, Colt also loses the game. I don't think he puts 26 points up against that defense.

If the D doesn't step up big time in Dallas, we're all talking about how Colt had a delay penalty and took a sack when we were in field goal range to win it. Colt was good and I like the guy, but let's keep some perspective.

The main question for me coming into Minnesota was this: will RGIII play better than he did at Houston. Answer: yes, without a doubt. Too bad we didn't win it, but that's the key to the rest of this season. RGIII getting better, making strides, getting comfortable with the O and his receivers. He's played only TWO games this year. That's the problem.

After thinking about it (and halfway calming down from Sunday), Gruden is in a really tough spot.

He has to get players to go out and compete when there isn't much left to play for this year.

Coming out and expressing a lack of confidence in a coordinator and then asking players to buy into that coordinator's plan creates disfunction. He needs to back his coaches until he is in a position to change.

Quick question about the Vikes game. How come the 'skins didn't put DJax back for punt/kick off return to add a spark? He was absolutely dangerous when he'd return kicks for Philly. My mind kept going back to the Eagles/Giants game a few years back.

Probably want to save DJax for something really important. No sense getting him hurt, it's not like we're going somewhere. Besides, Roberts has looked good and secure and very un-Redskin special teams like, let's not mess with that.
