Good, bad and ugly. Post game reactions vs Dolphins

Gruden just doesn't seem like a HC.

???

Did Joe Gibbs "seem" like a head coach after his first 5 games? We would have booed him mercilessly on line, and our current owner would have canned him. No doubt in my mind.

Oline and dline play were very encouraging

Crazy how the part of the team we focused on in the off season is playing better, isn't it?

For all of the hoopla and drama around this team, this is the most stoked I've been in maybe 5 years (2012 aside). Saw a lot of encouraging moments today.

Give Scot another 2-3 years working his magic and we'll be formidable across the entire roster, I guarantee it.

Good - Defense only gave up 10 points.
Bad - play calling, Injuries, 2 picks
Ugly - Special teams, penalties

But after those first 5 games, the rest of the year, you saw a guy who could adapt. They did finish his first season 8-8 after starting 0-5. The only adapting Gruden has done through a full year plus the start of his second is he isnt so negative in his press conferences. Im hoping he can figure it out, but so far, he is showing no halftime changes or any changes to his offense to fit personnel better. He is showing he knows 1 system and very little changes even within his system when it calls for it. I do find it scary that in-game changes are minimal and changes to his system is none regardless of who is playing, which is why I call him a play caller and not a coach.

I'm just glad we didn't get embarrassed. We are a 6 win team folks nothing more. So don't expect many happy Sunday threads here.

My point was that Gibbs would have been fired after 5 games and you would have cheered.

Perhaps Jay G. knows he was facing a monster D line and gave his guys a chance keep his QB upright. Which he did. I thought our core problem areas of O line, D line and QB showed up and I choose to give the coach some credit.

Good- Bill Callahan as our OL coach
The OL came to play and did an impressive job, providing 37:54 minutes time of possesion.
Running game
Reed
Garcon
Smith (rookie)

Bad- penalties
Special teams
Conservative play calling
Injuries
Reed, he had 2 miscommunications with KC.

People need to realize this is our head coach's SECOND YEAR of EVER being a head coach. We hired a General Manager within THIS CALENDAR YEAR.

I know we all want to win and the losing starts to piss you off but jesus fucking christ what did you expect to see out there today???????

All we've talked about all off season is "It's okay to lose some games as long as we look improved." DID WE NOT LOOK IMPROVED??

Yes, there were still blown plays and things to fix but thats expected when you're REBUILDING. We knew we couldn't fix the entire team in one off season but I saw DEFINITE improvement.

It's disgusting to see some of the "fans" on here throwing in the towel when iBADt's week 1. Have some faith and support your fucking team for once and maybe they'll reward you with some harder play.

Pretty much agree with this:
But feeling a bit......pissy
Good Cousins mostly. Get the int's in check and we have a QB
Oline basically stiffed and RAN on BIG maybe the best D-line in Pro ball
Pushed their ass around. Suh....who?
Defense...Whoa shit, we have one.....secondary a maybe..please stay healthy Dhall
Sacks with no blitz? WTF???
ALMO...WOW!

BAD
F...n penalties.
O and D catch the damn ball!!!
Picks....enough said
Teams will b the death of me!!! F... Me!!!

As S2 has said fans should b ashamed...we are in FULL rebuild mode and trying to find which way is up. We had more good than bad today and some REAL good
As Gruden said, needs to be tuned up and cleaner, BUT we competed.
I Really wanted to win that game as we had them on their heels and we let them come back. It hurt, but I'm ok with it and happy about the future.

I liked him last year, and I said before the game I was hoping to see halftime adjustments. I also was worried that we wouldn't make any. Losing Djax hurt, but no one cares about injuries, because every team gets them.
