F$ck Dallas! Game thread

The line struggled to block and the RBs couldn't pick up a blitz so KC was under pressure and forced to hurry all night. I thought he played pretty good considering.

He didn't throw a pick - that was good. Yes, he was under pressure. However, he did nothing consistently to make Dallas back out of it - either by passing over or around it, audible out of plays that were headed in to the teeth of it, or making pre-snap adjustments to the blocking. Maybe he did some of these, but I didn't see it.

Lots of reasons we lost - mostly b/c no one did enough to win. KC was very much part of that equation.

Not sure I'm buying into the criticism of the play calling. We've got an o-line with two starters on the IR while one starter is a rookie playing a position he never played before; and TE depth is a mess. Behind all of that is a QB who's basically a fourth round rookie. Last night they played a very strong defense that had ten days to rest and prepare.

Under these conditions, I would expect a conservative game plan, particularly with a tight score, which it was last night. The running game never got going enough to really open things up, and that Lee dude seemed to break up all the screens and bootlegs. So the number one priority of the Redskin offense was to not turn the ball over, which they didn't do. We saw good situational game calling; it just didn't work out. Sometimes you just lose games.

Kirk's reluctance to change plays at the line was definitely a problem. There were a number of times the Cowboys linebackers showed their hand with a good ten seconds left on the play clock and Cousins didn't make adjustments. He needs to get better at that, and there's no reason to think he won't.

Special teams + offense stunk, but really they are more talented then we are. We are screwing up the division by playing above our ability.

Yes. Yes there is. There are plenty of reasons. Again, not a rookie folks.

I do! That's what it's all about and I couldn't care less how we get there. What's the matter with you? Did all that sun in San Diego or that shitty loss to the Cowturds bake your brain? Once we get to the playoffs I promise you that you'll be happy about it regardless of how it comes about.

Keep the faith. HTTR!

I literally don't want to go to work this morning because of that loss. Don't want to hear everyone's shit. Losing that game sucked hard. We just can't take 2 steps forward.

Also, Kirk became waaaaay too predictable with his fake hard count. It was almost done in the same rhythm every single time, and you could see Sean Lee starting to time it every snap. This kind of stuff should be recognized and changed through the course of the game.

I didn't hear Greg Hardy's name called too much in the game, Trent Williams did a pretty good job blocking that side. Blocking Hardy mostly one on one is so small feat but Silverback was getting it done.

I get the hate on the offense. The performance wasn't good at all but let's be honest with ourselves. This is a team that won 7 games the previous two years. A lot of factors went into that but the main issue on this team has been the level of talent. SM has done an admirable job in just one year of finding players who can contribute (especially on defense) but the talent on the offensive side of the ball last night wasn't there.

We have the makings of a good OL in the future but neither Long nor Leribeus are gonna part of that. Both aren't good. Scherff is good but still learning. He seemed to learn fast last night which is good.

We literally had one tight end active last night. One. And he is the one who can't block. We had to play converted Tackles if we wanted to go with a two tight-end set. Chop that part of the play book out.

KC is not a guy right now who can extend plays and make magic happen. Give him the keys to a good car and he can drive it. Give himt eh keys to a crippled car with dead weight on the interior line, no TEs, and an under performing running game and we're doomed.

The scheming sucked according to many...I don't see how we can scheme much better given the constraints last night. I'm no Gruden apologist but being more aggressive last night probably gets us killed.

As DJax would say "You can't do epic stuff with basic people"

Tell me about it, I work with a couple of Cowboys fans who have literally not said a word to me about football in over a month and I guarantee when they get into the office today (I arrive an hour before them) they will be stopping by my cubicle to act like last night's ugliness just won them something. Ugh.

And that Jason Garrett smirk/smile walking across the grass. Just painful to see.

It is a TEAM sport Raves and gentlemen. How anybody can be talking about anything other than D-Jax is beyond me. Lets just look at what happened again shall we? It was a division game against the Cowboys whose backs were to the wall big time. They came to play. It was an ugly penalty filled game but with about 2 and a half minutes left in said game our D came up big and they punted to us. If D-dick just takes the straight path we are roughly 25 measly freaking yards from attempting a game winning fg. But that asshole RUNS BACKWARDS FOR 23 YARDS AND FUMBLES ON THEIR 7 YARD LINE!!!!!! Eff everything else that happened in that game. It was ours to win UNTIL D-DICK PUT ON HIS D-DICK CAPE AND RUINED IT! That is all.
