Well, once again, here we go! This was that type of game where you can just about throw in the towel on the season. Well done, Redskins. Now, there is still a LOT of games to be played, but if you haven't noticed, the next 4 games are brutal! It is very reasonable to think that this team will be 1-6, and the blame game will begin. I think that at worst my beloved team will be 2-5, but I'm really struggling to find a win in there.
For the record, I almost didn't post this blog. I figured the Redskins took the week off, so why couldn't I?
Offense - In a word? Terrible. Santana Moss and Chris Cooley are obviously the targets that McNabb likes. Clinton Portis falling down in the open field is inexcusable, and I'm glad Ryan Torain is back. I thought he should have made the 53 man roster from jump street, and I'm glad he's back. Here's an idea, how about scoring a touchdown when you're in the endzone? 4th and 1 from the 6? What the hell, go for it!
Defense - Still 32nd in the league. Is there anything else you need to know? There just simply is NOT the personnel to run the 3-4. Oh, and why should the O go for it on 4th and 1 inside the 10? Because the D can't get anyone off the field!
Special Teams - Another week, another blocked kick. This time a punt. Well done.
Nobody gets a game ball this week. This loss was inexcusable, and from players to coaches it was a terrible loss!
Prediction:
Redskins - 17 Eagles - 35
As always, Hail to the Redskins!
It's too early to hang it on the new regime of Shanahan and Allen, but I'm not seeing any change. The allegedly good defense still folds in Crunch Time, and they didn't beat a team they had to beat in the Rams.
ReplyDeleteAnd if it's 4th and 1 on the 6 against the Iggles, they damn well better go for it. Go win the damn game.
