Boyz vs. Skins Post-Game Dread

[firstdown]

I never figured out why we didn't go for two points after our last two TD's. My math I could not figure out how failing a 2 point conversion would hurt us.

But apparently that's impossible here.

I'm so sick of us not getting the calls,it seems like its been that way for yrs.There seemed to be a number of blatant holding calls not called.
On Murrays long run in the first there was blatant holding on a skin that was going for the tackle.
This team seems to be jinxed.Inside the red zone and penalty after penalty,WTF Moss? Then Moss throws the ball up for the int,it was a tough catch but cmon man.Its sickening

YES!!! I saw this over and over. Not once did it get called. Then, our pass rush completely disappeared when it really mattered and Romo had all the time he needed...

Given all the BS leaks that have come out slamming RG it tells me Mike isn't interested in working anything out. He wants to play the blame game and skate town with his last $7M check.

I'm certainly not saying that Shanahan is blameless. Time-management issues, the inevitable conflict of interest when your son is the play-caller, not having a plan for Danny Smith's departure ... I'm sure there's more. It sucks out loud.

Stability when things go wrong is the one thing Snyder hasn't tried yet. I know I'm in the minority on this, but ... I just wouldn't make a change unless there's a knight in shining armor ready to ride in on a white horse. I just don't see it.

I don't remember you here and have no idea when started watching the Redskins. Do you realize every "bad luck" situation you listed is Mike's fault? The RG injury: Mike's fault. The bad start to the season: Mike.

There's literally nothing Shanahan or anyone else can point to as a reason he should be retained. But that's only half the story. Mike has been the worst HC in pro football three of the last four seasons. His leadership has been abysmal, from Mcnabb and Haynesworth to Davis and RG, you can't find a pro coach who alienates players like Mike does. His son seems to be following in those footsteps too btw.

I think Snyder had played it risky by keeping Mike around the letting the poison settle in further, but it could indicate Snyder/BA already have a good sense of who's coming in to take over. I still absolutely believe any potential HC will put DC at the top of his list. This team has talent at key positions and will have money to spend in arguably the weekest division in football.

Well at least the last two games have been competitive from start to finish. They've been fun to watch. Sucks that Fletch couldn't leave with a win.

Haslett is garbage. You've got Romo with a leg injury and you simply have to get after his ass at the end of the game. He sat back there and could have wiped his ass he had so much time.

What makes this loss so harsh...how close it all was.

Agreed. More fun than the three game "home" stretch.
