Play Calling

What's with the playcalling today? Could it be considered as conservative or we just playing not loose as usual?

Re: Play Calling

This is a ball control offense. Not sure why people are so surprised that it isn't Indy's offense. This offense thrives off of the running game. I suppose we could pass every down. They sure worked for us during the Spurrier years.

Re: Play Calling

We played to lose, as we have done when we had fourth-quarter leads in the past three games. Gibbs need to wake up before we finish 6-10 again.

6-10 looks good right about now.

Yeah, he's been way too tentative the past three weeks.

Re: Play Calling

I think we all expected to lose today. I'll only go ballistic if the Rams and Cardinals beat us. We should be 7-6 in two weeks.

Yeah but the problem is we didn't expect to lose last week, so I think a lot of us , me included, were hoping a win this week would balance things out.

Re: Play Calling

The Skins cannot beat anybody right now. To let two West coast teams travel here and beat us at home is the mark of a poor team. If I was the Rams or Cardinals--I would be licking my chops...

We should have won the Raiders game and lost the Chargers game. Both were narrow losses. I'm not giving up on this team yet (as aggravating as it can be).

You know damn well the Redskins are going to beat those teams. Let's keep it real. We seem to have our way against NFC conference teams which is why this team is so frustrating. Win have of the AFC games we are 7-4. It's hard for Gibbs to focus on winning in the Division and AFC all in one season I guess.

After last week, I wouldn't count on any victory as automatic.

Re: Play Calling

Here is the problem with the question. You have to consider that play calling and execution go hand in hand. If Rabach doesn't make that penalty, play calling doesn't even come up in a thread. Gibbs did call a conservative game though. It is just a hard topic to pin-point

The Raiders are definately a better team than their record suggests. Like us, they have lost a lot of close games.

That said, we should have won that game.
