Seahawks Out-Redskin Redskins, Lie Down and Die 23-17

This wasn’t a good game by any stretch. But goddamn worst loss since last season? You look at any statistical measure and this wasn’t as bad as any loss this season. Sure you can make excuses for the other losses, but how about for this one? If the two penalties on 3rd down weren’t called, if they called at the end when Baldwin got held, if they stop fucking with the QB hit penalties, we would have been in a better position. We ran well, we defended alright for 45 minutes, we had damn good special teams.

Just a little perspective is all I ask. THE SKY HAS NOT FALLEN

The Redskins are mediocre, but a pretty damn talented defense that plays disciplined football. I’m more pissed about only putting up 24 on the Rams than 17 against this team with our offense.

…..Tjack’s got some wheels to catch us, though, I know I was running pretty damn hard…

Defense underwhelmed today towards the end.

I was WAY more frustrated with the TD plays. IMO Tjack shouldn’t be put in the position to fail, which he unfortunately has in the past

Yes the defense did poorly in the end by letting the Redskins retake the lead but that doesn’t change the fact that Jackson is almost utterly incapable of leading any sort of late game comeback drive.

we win there!

They put up respectable-ish defensive efforts at San Fran, Cleveland, and in our two road wins.

IMPROVEMENT!

if you look at all the really good defenses historically, don’t they usually have like 1-2 monstrosities and the rest are ‘okay’? I don’t have hard stats but it seems like all you need is someone to force opposing OCs to gameplan around so everyone else who is mediocre-good can just do their job right

and many of our shortcomings (in wins and losses) come from lack of experience (whether it be time together or pure age). You look at where we are at our high point, and we have coaches that build a gameplan around turnovers, controlling the run, and stopping the run. We do that effectively at some points against really good teams (and elite talent), and fall on our asses at other times.

Do you argue that the Philadelphia Eagles or NYJ don’t have enough talent to compete at this level?

we need a good QB in order to compete in this league, thats a simple fact. Another simple fact is T-Jack is not a good QB especially when he is playing hurt. But I also see that in some areas we are highly talented. We have a lot of players like Red, Mebane, Rice, Baldwin, Tate, Lynch, Unger, Okung, ET, Chancellor, heck even Sherman who are the type of talent that could lead this team to the Superbowl in a few years. However, this will not happen until we get a good QB

This is perhaps the most inane argument I have ever seen. How about we look instead at the 75% or more of draft picks that don’t play? And yes a top 10 > bottom 10, wow some great deduction there. I am saying that literally giving up on the season does not help the development nor the mindset of the team and its trust in the team’s leadership.

And score 41 on the Saints.

Seattle hasn’t put up 30 without a defensive TD in a single game this year.

yes its obvious we need a QB, but be that as it may if we get the right personnel it is possible to win with a running game. Yes we need a passing game, but the fact is we don’t have a good QB and we won’t until April. I’d rather work on becoming a more 3 dimensional team then try to force a shitty passing game.

and so I continue to give him the benefit of the doubt

Sounds like japanese to me

Oh yeah the one time we blitz Grossman goes down.

way way to hard. I agree with Pete that controlling the run is crucial, but our players need to calm down a second and read the play.
