Postgame thoughts

LOL......I just can't believe some of the posts on here. Here I thought we actually won yesterday.......oh wait, that's right.....we did win. Reading these posts you wouldn't know it.

It's already been said a million times so I won't restate it all again, but I'm with Matty on all of his posts. Unless you guys have severe short-term memory loss, you'd have to be blind not to see that the offense looked a lot better yesterday than last year. We dominated the field on both sides of the ball. Yes, we've still got issues getting it into the endzone......and those issues MUST be worked out if we are going to beat better competition........ but if you had told me last year that we'd get 300+ yards of total offense, run the ball for almost 5 per carry, and dominate time of posession......I'd be a pretty happy camper.

You wanted us to open up the offense: we did. You wanted to take shots downfield: did that too. You wanted a better YPC average for Portis: accomplished. You wanted better pass protection: done. You wanted less rediculous penalties and clock management issues: significantly reduced. You wanted less 3-and-outs: done. Yet all some of you can do is bit#h and wine like little girls. I'm just glad I didn't log on until today so that you all didn't kill my buzz yesterday from enjoying a win and a promising improvement over last year.

I'll just end with a plea that we not give up on the entire season before we actually lose a game......Please.

Yet all some of you can do is bit#h and wine like little girls.

I nominate this for post of the year.

Not sure I care what you are saying? We suck....bottom line. And you keep coming up with excuses as to why we are going to be good and keep getting disappointed......don't call me an a hole again.

then please stop acting like one. I'm sorry if you think I have no right to my opinion, or the right to express them. And i've come up with no excuses, I just said we kept it close last year... how the hell is that an excuse? So I have no idea what your responding to, but its obviously isn't something I said.

I'll second that, his entire post by the way, not just the part about acting like little girls even though that was great.

You win dude.....we'll keep it close this year.....but we won't win more than 6 games because of our inept offense.

Thank you, thank you. :food-smil
I'll gladly accept the nomination and consider it an honor just to be nominated. :D

Our "inept" offense had more yards than 14 other teams yesterday.
Our "inept" offense had fewer penalties than every other NFL team except for the Chiefs, Lions and Steelers.
Our "inept" offense held the ball (T.O.P.) for longer than all but 3 teams yesterday.

Again, we need to work on getting the TD instead of the FG, but I hardly think our offense looked "inept". Want to see inept? Look at some footage of our early games last year.

I'm looking at the replays from Moss... then the replays from Coles

Coles missed HUGE opportunities and dropped a couple passes
6 catches for 66 yds.

Moss made big plays and had no glaring mistakes
4 catches for 92 yards

cya Coles

Then I'm looking at the replays from Patten and then the replays from Gardner

Patten had limited action but like Moss, no glaring mistakes
3 catches for 19 yards

Gardner was... he had... he made... can't seem to find him on the field
0 catches for 0 yards

cya Gardner

Gardner's new team scored 20 points and 350 yards ----- 0-1
Coles' new team scored 7 points (junk time TD) and 390 yards of offense ----- 0-1
My Redskins; only 9 points and 323 yards offense ----- 1-0

15 more games to go, but we're doing just fine if you ask me

I've been saying all offseason... if we have a top 16 offense and a top 10 defense we'll make the playoffs. We're built like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens and we just need the offense to manage the game and let the defense win it.

The Offence didn't do as badly as the score board would sugest nor as well as the yards total would make it seem. No TD's is something to worry about. It seemed to me there were not enough shots taken down the feild. The running game isn't going to produce if they can stack 8 men in the box. I think the biggest problem is the red zone offence. Three red zone chances ended in 2 FGs and a fumble, not good enough. The next biggest problem was turnovers 4 fumbles and 1 INT(almost 2 INT). Nothing is a team killer more then turnovers.

The D was amazing, yeah we needed more pas rush, but they only let them in our red zone once.(As a result of a fumble) Any game where the Skins give up less then 50 yards rushing is almost certainly going to be a win.
