Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

If Rex has a couple of bad games in a row, then I suppose we'll see Beck. Rex won the competition with Beck to start the season but my perception is that he didn't win it by a wide margin, so why not give Beck a chance if Rex falters?

Nevertheless, I don't think that Rex played badly against Dallas. I thought the Dallas defense played well. The Redskins had little success running the ball, their receivers were not getting separation, and Rex faced a lot of pressure from the rush.

If Rex has a bad game against the Rams, then I would count that as one bad game by Rex for the season.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

Bradford acted pretty flaky when he got a lot of pressure from the Ravens DL.
I think Rak and Kerrigan will mess him up a bit and force a couple of turn overs.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

Yeah, I wouldn't put all of the Dallas game on Rex. The pick he threw was horrible but there were some ify calls by Kyle IMO. I think overall, it falls on the offense as a group.

[quote=hooskins;841925]Really, Beck already? I had hope that our fan base had changed a bit but apparently not...[/quote]

If Grossman stinks it up against the Rams, I don't think a QB change by game 5 would out of the question, nor should it be. Grossman may have the edge in a practice setting but Beck may be better in a actual game setting. We don't know until we try.

Personally I dont want to see the change only because Rex is the QB he should see it thru and I'm really sick and tired of the QB issue. But realistically there was a close battle for the QB position and the QB issue still persists if Rex does not perform well Sunday.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

As far as the Game. I think we will either blow them out or we will lose. Its all riding on Rex and his ability to convert in the RZ

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

Rams are Giants lite. If we don't win, burn it all to the ground.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

It's so funny..

Rex doesn't play at a pro bowl level every week, and people want to pull him. I was rooting for Beck in the offseason, and that's no secret but if we put Beck in, we are looking at 7-9 instead of 9-7 and people need to realize neither QB is our Franchise QB.

This loss was the best thing to happen to the Redskins I think. The taste of this defeat can stay in your mouth for weeks, and it'll give them the fuel to punish some teams down the road.

It doesn't look good for the Rams. I'm hoping the run game will get rolling, and if Rex throws for 300 and 3 TD's people will be talking about how he's changed, etc etc... It's going to be a roller coaster all year.

You wont see Beck this year folks unless Rex is hurt, or he plays at a level of a QB rating below 30.0

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

I do not want to see Beck. I don't think we can blame Rex for piss poor play calling... the recievers having trouble getting.open, and the o line decline late in the game...
he didn't win us the game, but he didn't lose it either

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

A desperate team is a dangerous team, the Rams are desperate right now. The worst thing the Redskins can do is to convince themselves that because they are a bad team they should win just because they're bad. For some reason I can't get 30-16 out of my head.

However, I join in chorus with those who say the Redskins should win...17 -13

Listed as probable last time I checked.

One things for sure. We have to run the freaking ball ourselves. The problem against Dallas was the lack of balance.

I will admit though his athleticism and arm strength are getting more and more appealing as the weeks go on. Still it's to early to pull the plug on Rex. We knew going in that he was going to have good days and bad.

Unfortunately Beck made similar mistakes in pre-season. Unfair to Beck and the entire O to try Beck on a short week, so unless Rex plays much better against the Rams, I'm making a change after the Bye.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

Will Grossman have all his weapons at his disposal? will Armstrong be healthy to play? I don't recall Stallworth doing much in Dallas. Will the blocking be there for Hightower and Helu?

What ever happened to the Skins targeting 6-8 different recievers? It always seems to come down to the Moss and Cooley show. The team can win this game but there has to be a better game plan, better play calling, better blocking, and better execution. That said....

31-24 Skins.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

Seems the world is back to normal. People see Grossman as a up/down QB again, and not a Hero carrying the Redskins to a undefeated season, and experts are picking the Rams to beat us this week making us the underdogs once again.

I'm glad everything is normal again

We have already seen that talk is cheap many times from younger players who say the same stuff about wanting to win, etc. I rather them just shut up and play a solid game and win. Anybody can say I want to win with a serious looking face, and be very nonchalant about it in his actions. It is called acting for the camera, ala reality TV. Not trying to question Brian's sincerity per say, but talk is cheap. Walk the walk before you talk the talk is my point.

How many young guys like Lavar or Smoot would come in and get all pissed about losing, but then put up a subpar performance the next weekend or the weekend after the next game. Every player should want to win and get pissed about losing. Quit the bitching and go out a nd perform and WIN!

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

No way we see Beck before week 5, even if Rex shits the bed the next two weeks. Thank God some of us aren't coaching the Skins.

What you wrote sounds reasonable but I wouldn't bet that Mike Shanahan would let Rex play poorly for two whole games without pulling him. I think that MS would pull Rex the minute he started to believe that Rex was the problem with the offense.

I'd like to stress that I don't think that Rex or anyone on the offense or the defense or special teams has been a glaring weakness at this point in the season. I just believe that MS would pull any player the minute he thought that player was hurting the team.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

[quote=skinsfan69;841870]The Rams have beat us two years in a row. Yes their defense sucks but their front 4 dominated our o-line last year. I expect this game to go right down to the wire cause we're not a contending team. We simply can't do what Baltimore did to this team last week.[/quote]If Baltimore has it in them, than we have it in us. Baltimore is not stronger at any level of their offense (save maybe Flacco and Rice in the backfield) than we are.

The Rams defense has been super disappointing. I say disappointing instead of bad because sometimes an offense like the Redskins will roll into town and they'll (Rams defense) go back to looking like the team they expected to be at the beginning of the season.

So we have to be super-careful not to shoot ourselves in the foot this week. Baltimore went about 3.5 quarters without a major offensive blown assignment. We'll have to do something similar this week.

This game is a 50-50 coin flip. The Rams are talented enough to blow us out, but if they aren't able to fix their weaknesses from last week, we'll be able to blow them out.

Hall is an obvious weakness when he's man to man on the opponents best receiver w/o safety help, but that's a schematic choice, not a personnel flaw.

Being competent also requires some star power we may not have just yet, ergo, the Redskins might be a year away from achieving competency, but the roster seems balanced enough to sustain itself this year.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

Idk if the rams are talented enough to blow themselves out much less the redskins.. They have no talent at all on offense except 8 and 39

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

I don't think we lose to the Rams, but my oh my we have to play Buffalo, and a month ago I had them a sure W, now with Jackson and Johnson being studs, we might have our hands full. I think we need to look at the AZ game again and reevaluate how good this team is. I don't consider AZ to be all that great.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

Buffalo will balance out soon just watch they aren't a legit contender, their d isn't that good, Oakland rolled them up and so did NE

[quote=skinsfaninok;842080]Idk if the rams are talented enough to blow themselves out much less the redskins.. They have no talent at all on offense except 8 and 39[/quote]Kendricks is pretty solid, but yes, this is not much of an offense.

Even bad offenses can exploit weaknesses though.

Re: Skins v Rams pregame
 

All KS needs to do if Rex is having an off night is go with the dink and dunk short passes, go to slants, screens and hooks, with using Armstrong to take a couple Dbs out with him. We do need to pound the ball more with Helu definitely in the mix. We have more of a dual back system now. Maybe put both TH and Helu out for short passing routes also at times. I can't think that KS and co haven't thought of a backup gameplan if Rex has a bad night.

[quote=skinsfaninok;842089]True I just think if this team is what we think they are 9 wins or so then we better win sunday[/quote]You're correct, but that doesn't mean the chances are better than 50-50. Vegas has the game as a pick-em.

I'm just saying that if we lose, people will line up to crab about some intangible the team is lacking, but really, this is a road game that we're going to win only about half the time. 3-1 at the bye feels a heck of a lot different than 2-2, so I'm not saying it doesn't matter. I'm just saying we're only kind of good, and kind of good teams don't go on the road and make it look easy except when they play the very worst teams.

The Rams are pretty bad, but they're not one of the five worst teams in football. And they will certainly compete with us at home unless they make all the same mistakes they did last week. In which case, they should fire their coaches.

I'd say they are in the group of Miami, Cincy and Carolina.. They could win at home but they are a 5 win team. I am concerned though because Rexy just makes me nervous man .. I hope we can run it all day and force a couple Tos
