Redskins 31 Browns 20 post game talk

The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am in the play calling.

I was just sitting here remembering how pissed I was at half time.

Initially, they show a very balanced approach and the offense was humming. Our opening drive was 10 min or so.

The Oline was clicking, and Jones was running as hard as he ever had.

And then McVay, Gruden, or whoever (Cooley says McVay calls the plays, but Gruden has to have a big influence) start going 5 wide with empty sets we stall, eat very little clock, and our defense is on the field for an eternity.

1. If running is working why go away from it? They came back to it at the end. The Patriots and us are apples and oranges. They find a weakness and exploit it till they can't anymore like calling the same play 5 times in a row. They force teams to play in ways they don't want to. We are allergic to success and go away from it on our own. The same BS explanation of the fades will no doubt be put forward. "We saw matchups we liked" The offense was walking it down the field with ease so obviously there were match up advantages happening when the oline and Jones were kicking their butts.

2. Our defense looked like pure crap in the 1st half. I don't see how Jay could have any confidence they could come up with a stop after that 1st half. The turnovers are great but really unpredictable. Why wouldn't Jay and/or Mcvay call plays in a balanced way to eat the clock and protect the defense, especially since Cleveland looked clueless at stopping it?

It's like they outsmart themselves.

Jesus.

I hope all the pessimists here will forgive me for believing that we can win the division. I believe that some of you are over-estimating our competitors and under-estimating our own team. We have many strengths as a team and we can improve some of our weaknesses during the season.

I underestimate no one, I knew the Browns would be tough. If anything Pryor and Crowell are under appreciated, I was very impressed with those 2.

I see back to back division champs. We are deeper than the rest of the division, and we have the best front office in the division. When other teams start falling off because of injuries, we will get stronger.

I think they may become more balanced now that we have, IMHO, a bigger and more powerful OL group with Arie at LG and Long at C. They moved people today.

Somebody explain to me how the defense is so bad even after adding Norman.were the players we let go that good ? I thought the team was supposed to be improving. who are we missing the most this year. is it the players or is it the scheme. Im not worried about the Offense and special teams but this is a bad defense.

The DL and OLB are very average. When you cannot stop the run or rush the passer, mediocre is the best you can hope for.

The Redskins needed DL help and got none... no help at safety. It is a myth there is good talent on defense, or good coaching.

You beat a team you should have, and you barely did that. Goodbye Joe Barry please.

Strong safety, ilb, and dt/de...these are areas where we are not getting good play or its inconsistent play. Also, 2 younger players who looked good in preseason but haven't shown the expected growth...breeland and Preston smith...a lot of unmet expectations so far this year. We are leaning on these two to perform and it hasn't been good.

Players like wil Compton, Norman, and Chris baker have been good, but they need some help.

Our first two draft picks need to be DL.
But I said that for the last draft and McClue got us zero.
I'm still not that much of a McClue fanboi.
