Redskins win

The Skins reached in through an open window and stole a victory.

While I like the skins their offense was horrible, the defense was great. I cannot understand why opposing teams do not take advantage of the Skins playing five to ten yards off the receivers. Arizona threw a couple of easy passes near the end taking advantage of the huge cushion the skins gave them but then they stopped. A few more passes like those and they could have kicked an easy 20-30 yard field goal.

Am I the only one that sees this? Anyone can also predict the Skins plays before they are run. First down to Portis on a run. Second down handoff to Sellers and third down a pass to Moss or Randle El. They were all over Portis as soon as he got the ball obviously keying on him on the first down.

Gibbs did his usual when up by two touchdowns and tried to do ball control with a predictable offense. Like stated on here before once up you have to pour on the pressure and go for more.

The Redskins offense has now passed beyond conservative and has entered into Submissive. The Redskins let the opposing defense dictate the way they play, whereas good offenses make defenses adjust to what they're doing. In a post game interview, Gibbs said he was happy with the way the offense played. Was he at the same game? They somehow always manage to spot the other team a touchdown or two by dopey mistakes, and today was no different.

These dink and dunk passes are a ticking time bomb waiting to be intercepted with a clear shot to the end zone. If our recievers aren't getting open, we need faster, taller or better recievers. There is no excuse for only having 160 yards of total offense, especially against the Cards.

My question is, How badly will the Pats embarrass us next week? If we can keep them from winning by less than 21 it will be a victory of sorts.

The Redskins are playing like the Ravens did in 2000 - let the defense score points and just make sure the offense doesn't screw up by handing over the ball.

The Redskins offense plays way too much in the backfield with those tosses, draw plays, reverses, etc. Then when they do throw, it is usually a quick flat or slant route. I wonder how much of this has to do with the injuries on the O-line. I guess if your QB isn't getting adequate protection or if the O-line can't create a crease up the middle, these are the kinds of things you have to do.

The Redskins would have had yesterday's game put away early in the 4th quarter if it weren't for those ridiculous personal foul penalties from Landry and London Fletcher. Nothing like keeping a drive alive by being a bonehead.

The Skins D is definitely fun to watch. They just seem so much more pumped up and into the game than the offense does.

I am guessing the spread against NE will be something like 14 points. Brady threw 6 TD passes yesterday. That is the same number as Campbell threw all this year.
The only way for the Redskins to have a chance is for their offense to stay on the field. Otherwise it will be a disaster to watch.

The spread is 16, lol. I'd actually bet that if I were in Vegas. NE looks strong.

Over/Under is 48. I'd also bet the over.

16 sounds about right but NE does one thing the Skins havent learned yet and that is when you are ahead to pour on the points. If they are up 14 do not expect NE to play Joe Gibbs style football. They will keep scoring until the clock runs out. Taking the over on 48 sounds good to me too.

The danger of this weeks game with NE is that if the Skins lose the game by halftime and get blown away by more than 28 points, the Skins players may never recover for the rest of the year.

The way things have gone this year, expect the Skins to be "in it" until about halfway through the 3rd Quarter. That's when the secondary will start to get tired and Brady will start running up the score. No way the Skins can win if Gibbs can't sustain an offensive drive and give his defense a break, which he apparently can't do right now.

As for ruining the Skins season, I don't think anyone would be surprised if the Skins get blown out by the Pats. What will kill the Skins season is if they lose to the Jets, who have no business winning.

For the Redskins to even be in the game they have to keep their offense on the field. Their defense is good but nobody can keep up the with the offense going three downs and out.
Brady does have a hell of an arm and is very accurate. NE also has Indy ahead and maybe with some luck they might not think about playing the Redskins and be looking past them.

This is what I predict will happen with Greg Williams' defense. Williams will make heavy use of the Nickel defense. He will put Smoot or somebody with speed on Randy Moss the whole day. The Skins' d-backs probably can't beat Moss, but with man coverage they can bump his route and try to screw up his timing. Williams will utilize Sean Taylor in the zone in the middle. He will use London Fletcher and Landry in multiple blitz packages on Brady because, let's be honest here, the only way to compete with the Pats is to fuck up Brady's timing and force turnovers on New England's end of the field.

If the skins drop into the three man rush or prevent defense they can forget about it.
Va Tech used it last night and look what happened to them in the final minutes.

Without pressure on Brady they will have a terrible day. But it all depends on the offense having ball control. They cannot go three and out on this team.

As a Patriot's fan, in all reality, the Skins only chance of winning is if they put 3 men on the line and manage to get pressure on Brady. Blitzing will not work...Brady will eat you alive with the short ball.

Note to Dan Snyder:

In light of the Redskins utter collapse before the New England Patriots, I suggest the following steps:

1. Fire Al Saunders. There is no offense, so what are you paying an "offensive coordinator" for?

2. Fire Vinny Cerrato and everyone else in your front office. After 10 years with the team, your front office has demonstrated a knack for trading away future Hall of Famers like Champ Bailey and competent low-pay starters like Ryan Clark for overpaid, ineffective talent like Brandon Lloyd and Adam Archuletta. Your front office sucks. Period. Fire them.

3. Buy out Joe Gibbs's contract and give him an honorary office in the executive suite. Frankly, this is what you should have done in the first place instead of allowing Gibbs to coach a team he doesn't have the energy to deal with effectively.

4. Call Bill Cowher. You know you are going to do it anyway at the end of the season. You might as well do it now.

5. Disassociate yourself with anything to do with the on-field football operations of the Redskins. You are obviously a great marketer who is unafraid to spend money on top-notch talent. But your meddling with the day-to-day operations is killing your team on the field. Put a real GM in charge and spend your time on Six Flags (given the number of accidents at those parks recently, it appears that you should be spending more time there anyway.).

Signed...

What a disaster. I never expected the Skins to stick to their usual run, run, pass, punt offense. They also used the old stand by defense of allowing a five to ten yard cushion on receivers. Throw in poor tackling and fumbles and you get what you get.

How predictable was the Skins offense? Two run plays then pass. NE knew exactly what was coming each time. They also took full advantage of the five to ten yards cushions given to their receivers.

Hey Meeper,
I bet you never thought the over/under would be covered by just one team.

The Skins need a new coach with new ideas. You cannot play 1980 football in 2007. It will of course involve a three year rebuilding process and perhaps the departure of Little Danny Snyder.

I guess Norv Turner, Marty Schottenheimer, Steve Spurrier and Joe Gibbs weren't enough "new coaches" for you over the past 8 years?

The problem isn't the coaching. You could stick Bill Belichik in there and have a losing team with Dan Snyder as owner. This is because Dan Snyder undermines his coaches constantly by hiring guys they don't need/want because of their marquee names while trading away guys who are effective but lesser known or who don't kiss Snyder's ass enough.

Dan Snyder needs to realize this isn't some consulting firm where you can surround yourself with a bunch of "yes men" and still keep everyone happy. The incompetence of this team is demonstrated each week for the world to see. The Redskins' "victories" consist of beating an 0-8 team in OT and barely defeating a team with a one-armed quarterback because the Cardinals' kicker missed a field goal he should have made.

It is obvious that Snyder's tinkering with the team has resulted in "favorites" and with jealously within the ranks that is undermining the team's play. This is not a team that goes out to win. This is a team with a bunch of people waiting for their next paycheck.

The agreement between Gibbs and Snyder was Gibbs would say who they needed and Snyder would open the checkbook. I have never heard of Snyder forcing players onto the team with Gibbs. Maybe you are aware of something I am not. I think he has some very good players but his play calling is way too predictable.

Norv Turner is a joke, Schottenheimer was like Gibbs playing old school football and Spurrier never had the respect of the team and thought he was still playing college ball. Gibbs was good in years past but the game changes and he has not changed with it. You cannot play predictable football such as run run pass. I watched the so called game and I saw NE keying on the Skins backs on first and second down. They were already making tackles while Portis was just getting the ball. On third down they did pass rushing knowing it was coming.

On defense they continue to play five to ten yards off the receivers. If you do that week in and week out how can opponents not see that and take advantage of it.

Besides that with 20 seconds to go before the half you call a short pass instead of an end zone Hail Mary? Who called that play? Sad.

Say what you will about Schottenheimer, I think most Redskins fans would love to see a 14-2 record (like San Diego had last year). As for Spurrier, when he came in with his "Fun and Gun," Snyder couldn't have hired a newer and ballsier coach.

I won't argue with the play calling issue. Frankly, when the Redskins hand the ball to Mike Sellers, he seems to be good for four yards. Why the hell the Redskins keep throwing into the flat on 3rd and 2 - only to get stuffed behind the line - is beyond me, It seems like a perfect situation to use this power running game I keep hearing about.

I agree with you there. It was twenty seconds to the end of the half and fourth down. Rather than throw for the end zone they threw an out pass. They are lucky it wasnt picked off. Poor play calling like that I cannot understand. Even NE knew it was supposed to be a hail mary since they put randy moss in the end zone on defense.

The right side of the line is in no shape to do any power running. But if you call the same plays over and over the other team is aware of what is coming. I will never understand the five and ten yard cushions they allow the receivers. One missed tackle and it turns into a twenty yard gain or more. Prevent defense has always sucked and always will. There are only 100 yards on a field so you cannot keep giving up five and ten yards gains without the other guys scoring.

Umm....I guess you haven't paid much attention to the Jets this season. If the Skins lose that one, they really have no business thinking about being a play-off team.

I don't get that either. The only guys who seem to understand that they should prevent the other team from catching the ball are Taylor and Landry. I don't think the Skins will be hurt too much by the loss of Carlos "Let the Receiver Catch the Ball and Run To Me" Rogers.

Actually, I have paid attention to the Jets, they suck as well. I just think it would be hilarious if the skins lost to them!

Whoever thinks the skins are a playoff team is an idiot.
