Redskins vs Rams Postgame Thread

TW is fine at left tackle. In fact we get (imo) good push when we run to the left. Why mess that up? If we are just playing Madden or Fantasy, I will take Oher and put him at RT.

Yeah running to the left has been much better than to the right, but I'll be curious to see how the stats look whenever somebody posts them. And the left side as protected well. The right side is consistently weak and it's on Polumbus.

Your question about who to get is a good one though, I mean it seems like developing a solid RT (over the last three years) as opposed to signing a FA, was necessary, but hasn't happened.

Robinson dropping the long bomb at the end. That would have resulted in (eventually, if not on that play) a TD and left us looking like world beaters, the entire WP forum would look different.

Possibly pink with unicorns and rainbows.....

Confirms what I saw. Bowen has been a monster first 2 games and Wilson is playing like a beast.

C Griffen had a really really bad game.

Would like to hear more on Gomes, cause he has looked decent. But he did mention the huge negative I saw which was his inability to get to the edge before the blocker got there on the 54 yard run. If he gets there he woulda forced Richardson back inside.

Really nice blimp on Crawford at the end. Dude put him in at slot and move D Hall to the outside forcing C Griff off the field.

Team gave up a lot to draft RGIII (and nothing to sign a kicker off the street). After the Morgan penalty and knowing Cundiff's woes beyond 50yards, give RGIII a chance to get a first down while Morgan sits on the bench. I would've been more satisfied with not converting in that scenario. Shanahan has to stay on his toes and show he's a disciplinarian.

Redskins should have gone for a first down after Josh Morgan’s blunder

I must be alone on this.

You are not alone. I would have preferred to go for it. Cundiff had no realistic chance.

Definitely should have gone for the first down instead. I read somewhere that there was about a 15% chance of making that FG, while it would have been about an 18% chance of picking up the first down. Slim chances either way.

A guy like RGIII increases your 18% changes. Heck, Banks isn't getting enough work as a returner anyway, throw a screen pass to him and let Morgan block Finnegan for him. Skins should've been the team going empty backfield with Briscoe, Moss, Robinson, Banks, Hankerson. What do I know. Just bummed out about what appears to be. I'll be over it once CIN comes to town. Hopefully that game won't do the same.

I would have preferred to go for it with Griffin. I honestly don't understand why we didn't take a shot, we still had time so we could have gone deep, or try for the first, and a quick spike.

Time to move on...

[imaskin4life]

I am with you guys. I don't understand why coach felt like we were in field goal range. I mean yes, its possible that he COULD make it but come on - stay in the moment and be realistic. It obviously was a bad decision partly because he missed it but mainly because it was out of his range. His longest fg made was 56 yards and that was a 62 yard attempt.

[los panda]

i could kickoff about 50-55 yards from a tee, but the longest fg i ever made (in practice) was 40 yards. cundiff booms it 75+ yards on kickoffs, but falls several yards short on a 62 yard fg attempt.

does anyone know his longest fg made in warm-ups this season?

[wordsmithgk]

Morgan made a boneheaded play at the worst possible time.

[warriorzpath]

Today, RGIII said the Rams game was unprofessional. And calls the Rams out for doing a lot of dirty things and taking cheap shots.

Game is on NFL replay right now if anyone is interested.
