Good for the Ravens, they were able to run the ball on us but elected to throw it more in the second half even with a lead. I thought if they kept running the ball we would have been in trouble. But good thing they fired him after our game and not before

Im so in awe of Cobra Kai, It weird absolutely knowing the kicker is going to make a damn fg. Its awesome, as soon as Crawford got tackled i knew that game was over!!! Congrats Cobra, keep sweeping that leg!

The #Ravens scored 3 TD's on their first 4 drives. They had seven full drives after that. Results: Punt, Fumble, INT, Punt, Punt, TD, Punt.

Really good closing defense.

as for our offense:

#Redskins' offense: 1st in rushing, 1st in yds/play, 1st in passing yds/play, 3rd in rushing yds/play, 3rd in goal-to-go, 7th in scoring

This stat is more important in my opinion. We've left a great deal of points off the board due to our offenses inconsistency at converting 3rd downs and moving the chains.


Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen

Yes. 3rd downs have been problematic all year. 29th of 32 teams. RT @NC_Skins23 What's that 3rd down conversion percentage? Still horrible?

Ranking 29th out of 32 teams in 3rd down conversion is pathetic. Makes me mad to no end that this offense is so potent, but stalls out on 3rd downs. What really infuriates me is when I see a option pitch play on 3rd and short. Makes me want to drive to DC to choke Kyle.

NC, you've got problems.

Or you don't read what you write. Or there's something missing.

Probably time to move on and get a life, obviously this is way to much for you. And disagreeing with me makes my case. Have at it.

Somebody forgot to take their meds today.

well, maybe, but we Rank 8th in total 1st downs tied(274) with the Giants, who are only slightly better on 3rd down(16 more made in 10 more attempts).

Who gives a damn about stats? Would you rather have a team be 50% on 3rd down but average 17 points? The bottom line is the offense is scoring enough points to win games. 31 points yesterday should win most games!!! I think the issue with 3rd down is when teams know when we have to pass then that's the weakness. It's a combination of the line, RG3 feeling comfortable letting plays develop/not wanting to take off running, and the wr's hanging on the the ball. We have to remember that we have a 22 year old rookie playing QB. As time goes on he will develop into a better passer. His footwork in the pocket is a little off but that will improve. He's a gym rat. But again, look at this offense from last year to this year. It's night and day.But I agee, Kyle need to ditch the pitch!

It's not all on RGIII with those 3rd down conversions and I'm not suggesting it is. It's a mix of everything. Penalties, drops, play calling, bad passes, and so on. I understand not converting a 3rd and long on a high percentage, but it's the 3rd and shorts that we don't convert that simply drive me up the wall. Kyle often times likes to get cute with a 3rd and short only for it to backfire. I've seen several of those damn pitch plays on 3rd and short which chaps my ass.

In the end, more often or not if you aren't converting 3rd downs, you most likely are going to be on the losing end of a 60 minute match. So far, I think we've had some severe breaks go our way (fumble for TD, fumble not recovered in-bounds) which have been deciding factors in our winning. You can't expect luck that good to continue though so it's better we not rely on that luck.

I actually thought that we convert around 75% of 3rd and 5 or less, and it plummets to around 20% for 3rd and 6 and higher. I could have sworn I heard that somewhere.

I feel like him and Orakpo just use the same move over n over n over again. Im not even sure what i mean but it looks like they just try to straight up bull rush. I would like to see them spin, and do all that fancy nancy stuff you see from the more dynamic ends

he hasn't done it often lately, but it's awesome when kerrigan bull-rushes the o-lineman straight back into the qb. he's done that on occasion, even getting a hand on the ball/hand/arm.

2011 draft is going to go down as the sack class

So your saying game over? Lol
The pitch play on a big third and short is horrible. I count three this year. All failed miserably.
