My main negative is Forbaith. I said at the end of preseason I thought he was the right choice, but on a short leash. That leash turned into a choke chain today. When you consider one td was due to a short kickoff, AND he missed a <40 yd fg that would have meant we had a tie and kept momentum.

He wasn't kicking off, that was Tress Way. But yes that missed FG was a killer.

It was but he's injured. If our kicker is injured, I think he should've been deactivated for the game. Especially if it's costing us points.

I know that but again if the other kicker from preseason had been kept Way wouldn't be kicking off either. That was my (unwritten) point on the preseason competition. Maybe the other guy misses one of the ones that Forbaith made but he would have been booting the kickoffs out the endzone.

True, I haven't liked Forbath much since 2012, but I know the second we cut him, he will go to Tampa or something and become an all pro kicker

All this talk about the kicker. Yes he missed a field goal, but I think what really killed the Skins was because of all the penalties. You might say that the refs had some bad calls, but for what I seen, most of them were right on. I mean, we had over 100 yards of penalties in the first half. Even with 50 yds, that is way to many.

Them boys need to tighten up and quit pulling those easy penalties. Most of them were just stupid penalties, but it does matter. And I wont even get into the late hit!

HTTR!
