Redskins vs Rams Postgame Thread

I think overall they played good but this was a missed opportunity and could haunt them if they get close to playoff contention.

The blocked punts are terrible, I keep hearing what a great special teams coach DS is but I dont remember the last time the special teams were special. DS needs to go.

Not much good to say about this game.We were outcoached BIGTIME and outplayed.We won the turnover battle and still lost.Refs and Fisher {by not challenging calls}kept us in the game in the first half.
Never have thought Haslet was a good coach,his inability to adjust has been a problem his whole time here.
Danny Smith has got to go,we can keep blaming it on players missing blocks,but when it happens over and over again theres got to be a bigger problem.
Boneheaded move by J.Wilson.Almost as stupid was Shanahan going for 62 yard fg.There was no way,no hope in hell he was going to make that.We have one of the most dynamic and talented qbs in the leaugue and you dont let him try to pick up the first? Terrible call by Shanahan
RG3 played well,again he took too many hits.The rate he's going getting hit I dont see him playing 16 games.
Morris looked good,but I'd like Helu to get a few more carries because defenses know every time he's in the game look for the screen pass to him

I'm not surprised that we lost this game. Bottom line is we're still not good enough to just walk on the field and beat bad teams. My biggest issue was Jim Haslett. How do you let Danny A. go off like he did? Why were we playing 10 yards off the Rams below average wr's? To me that's inexcusable.

[RGIII]

Shanahan doesn't instill confidence calling a timeout to ice the Rams kicker when he missed it then, makes it on the 2nd try. How do not put the ball in your QBs hands at the end of the game after all you gave up to draft him, instead attempt a FG that was out of range?!

Not much to say here.... hated the 10defense yard cusion the same as i did every other year we've been getting torched running it since Blache was here, get a ****in clue. And the field.goal? No. Let RG3 convert the 4thsame down maybe... the fake refs? Enough said. Danny smith? Bye. Josh Morgan? Dont dress next week. Haslettusdown? Wake the hell up. O line... keep trying to improve... jarvis jenkins? Its ur time to shine kid...

Lets go beat the bungles

[Evilgrin]

They were more physical then we were, I can understand the Rams defensive front pushing our offensive line around. However our defensive front getting abused by the Rams offensive line? You can blame the scheme, but our guys just got pushed off the ball. Bradford is not very mobile, and he stood in the pocket forever at times.

The other thing is the refs losing control, Fischer teams are notorious for dirty play. The replacement refs made some bad calls in our favor in the first half, but they missed a ton of the low hits, after the play hits. The skins obviously didn't handle this well, and this played to the rams advantage.

Criticism of the D, coaching and execution, is fair game. Pretty bad stuff.

[Chico23231]

i cant believe how many kicks have been blocked on special teams in the last year. Im officially on the fire Danny Smith bandwagon.

[CRedskinsRule]

I chose Morgan for Goat of the week, mainly because his one play was pure and simple boneheadedness. But more than enough blame to go around.

[Lotus]

In the poll for goat of the week I voted for Danny Smith. Without our second blocked punt in two weeks, we walk off the field with a W and none of the other crap (like Morgan) matters.

[MTK]

Haslett gets my vote. To let someone like Danny Amendola kill you to the tune of 15-160-1... just inexcusable. I know losing Rak hurts in terms of pressure, but Bradford had all day back there.

[imaskin4life]

Haslett. If I'm not mistaken, a new NFL record for receptions in a half has been either tied or set this game by danny amendola. LOL. that is ridiculous and embarassing

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

What annoys me about this loss is that we were up 21-6, and it felt as if the rout was on.

[skinsfaninok]

if it wasn't for morgan we would have only had to kick from the 40, which is a hell of a lot better than the 50.. But the defense let us down, Sam picked us apart.
