Re: A thorough ASS WOOPING!!
Yeah, throughout the game, I was noticing that. The ball was on the ground A LOT and we didn't grab it. But it's a good sign that we getting it loose, and we are getting some of them.

Great game? or THE greatest game? (for you Colbert Report fans out there) Seriously, this is the most satisfied I've been with the team in a LOONNNGG time and i'm gonna enjoy this win for a minute... Now, im not saying we are definitely gonna do this or definitely gonna do that (b/c things arent as good or bad as they seem), but it was VERY encouraging that we were able to plug backup guys into spots to replace injured starters before and during the game. We have proven that we are capable of putting points on the board and shutting down a potent offense. This will be especially important against teams like the Cowboys, Pats, and even Green Bay next week. On a related note, Green Bay is gonna be tough next week, especially after the way they lost last nite. It should be a very good game and I am looking forward to the opportunity to show that we can pull out a performance like this week against a better team on the road (at one of the hardest places to win). HAIL!

Re: A thorough ASS WOOPING!!
A very very nice win. I was pleased with the aggressive nature we showed in the 2nd half. Ya know its a good day if even Lloyd catches a pass.

The Lions used the pass to set up the run. Our D played back and dared them to run. On D - how many guys did Detroit have on the line? I honestly don't know. Also, it seemed to me that many of our big plays came off play action. Even if the run got stuffed a few times, we kept at it and played off of it. I wouldnt say the play calling was more aggressive than it has been it the past. I would agree that both the passing and running game showed some more diversity. Seemed like more intermediate routes were run and, of course, the direct snaps. Watch for that in the future with the playaction pass to JC. (Ohhh here's one - direct snap to portis, who hands it ARE on a reverse who throws it to JC who was split out wide). Seriously, the play calling was simply not that much different than last week. On offense our QB played his best game ever, our defense played lights out ALL GAME- If we were able to make those statements about the Giants game, we would be 4-0. Seriously, has anyone broken down how Detroit's D was playing us? I didn't hear the commentators say anything about it during the game. I am supposing they played some version of the Cover 2. Did they have 7 or 8 in the box? Also what % of our offensive plays had 3 or WR's? Just curious. If it turns out that the majority of our snaps were from the spread offense or their D was playing us pass first - THEN i would concede the pass set up the run. But it seemed to me the offense was pretty much 2WR, 2TE type and the D was playing their front 7 right up on the line. That, to me, says run first both from how we play and what the other side feels they must stop.

Not to take any credit away from Gibbs for this win, but letting Al have a free hand (or a freer hand) worked well. |

Re: A thorough ASS WOOPING!!
That sounds like speculation. Al works around the clock with Joe to develop a scheme that will take advantage of our opponent. Joe uses what he thinks will work, while simultaneously taking recommendations from upstairs. that's my guess.
This weeks opponent could only be described as a wet paper bag. |

Here's another possibility: Al is calling the plays in the way he wants, given his consultation with the offensive staff and his knowledge of the players we have and the D we play. And some days it works well, and others it doesn't. I know that lots of us think JG is god, he can't be criticized or whatever (this is obviously an exaggeration, but you get the idea), but this idea that Al is god, and that the success is his but the failure isn't is also incorrect.

Re: A thorough ASS WOOPING!!
How the Detroit press perceived the "pass-first" play calling:
"The attendance did not include the 46 Lions players who didn't do much more than watch the Redskins dominate them in every way, using a game plan that was similar to the one coach Joe Gibbs used to beat the Lions for the first time in 1981. They played it safe. Their running game set up a precision passing attack by Jason Campbell. The pass rush from the defensive line let the secondary choke off the passing lanes." ROADSKINNED: Lions outplayed in D.C. rout

Re: A thorough ASS WOOPING!!
simply put....it seems like JC is more comfortable with more plays, and it showed with the array of playcalling yesterday.....detroit never knew what was coming....the random QB sneak (that really shouldve been a 1st), the Portis QB formations. the quick slant to randle el. the pump fake and pitch, the pump fake to one side, and quick pass to the other.....all things JC told saunders he wasnt comfortable doing in his first few starts. Now that Al and JC have confidence in JC......other teams are gonna have to prepare for everything, our offense was the most threatening i have seen it since brad johnson and stephen davis. And the run wasnt even THAT dominant.......We didnt need 8 yards per carry to maintain drives, we had very few busted plays, and the defense sensed that and displayed their best defensive performance since 2005. May I add...the blind side pass protection has been unbelievable....samuels is having another pro-bowl season...and kendal is proving to be a steal...not to add Bugel is our MVP on our staff right now.

Re: A thorough ASS WOOPING!!
More from Detroit:
Gibbs concocts simple formula "There was nothing fancy. Washington ran 35 times for 118 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Jason Campbell completed 23 of 29 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. His passer rating for the game was 125.3. Lions cornerback Fernando Bryant thought it was a vintage Gibbs game plan. 'They did what they do well,' Bryant said. 'We didn't get them out of their comfort zone.' 'Joe Gibbs' game plan against you is to grind you. He's going to run the ball. He's going to protect the ball. He's going to be safe and secure in his throws.'" Guess nobody told Fernando that JG didn't make the game plan. <- Sarcasm font.

Re: A thorough ASS WOOPING!!
he didn't make the gameplan...but he does bring the Gibbs mentality....which definitely has an effect on the gameplans on both sides of the ball
