Bang Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Just some thoughts.. feel free to expound Rex Grossman's first half can be described as a Tale of Two Quarters The first quarter was the usual garbage.. no rhyme or reason to anything, bad passes and bad plays by receivers when passes were good. Palumbo was getting crushed. Gaffney looked like he bet on the Cowboys. I thought Grossman played OK considering he had only 2 yards passing in the first quarter.. I thought other than his ridiculous jump shot screen pass, he wasn't throwing bad. He missed Gaffney on the sidelines, but it looked more to me like Gaffney ran his out too narrowly. Then Anderson makes a play and everything changes. It just goes to show what CAN happen when a guy steps up.. Rex is having one of his better days so far, and all he needed was someone to make a play for him, and the offense looks entirely different. On his touchdown "scamper" Sonny Jurgensen called a QB draw as the team broke the huddle. Pretty cool to see it happen. The Redskins get the ball back and Rex makes some nice throws, Helu makes some nice runs, and the pressure is backed off a little bit. The difference is we're seeing a QB playing with confidence, throwing when he should, and so far, where he should. The touchdown to Gaffney was an excellent throw. Hopefully the game continues in this fashion. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Throw to Gaf was good. Throw to Anderson was his best throw so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Rex always seems to start off slow since he's been playing for us. Hopefully he comes out in the 2nd half hot. I'd like nothing more than to not only win, but to blow the Cowboys out. We have the ball first. Let's get something done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkFan8 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 What a ridiculous drive by Rex. He really needs to tone it down sometimes, but this has been a pretty darn good game. I was hoping Beck would seize his opportunity, but there is no reason to go back now barring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Rex is having a great game with no oline, no runningbacks, and no receivers. Give him a legit receiver and oline and he can win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBash Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I wish Rex would have run theball up the middle on that last 3rd down instead of losing a yard running towards the right hash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHOPSkins Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Rex means we are NOT winning the O vs D battle IF we win the Special Teams battle but LOSE our D vs O battle we are only a 50% chance of winning There are 3 parts to the game....and we only consistently win one of them When we start winning two of them.....we will be in contention We are one draft away people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 It's safe to say that if Rex played like this the entire season, this team would have more wins. What does this say about the Cowboys defense? It seemed like the Redskins O-line did a lot better pass protecting, as well as Grossman himself doing better at stepping up in the pocket to buy more time and step into throws.

TSO Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think this goes to show more about Kyle's playcalling than anything Grossman did. We've been calling some good plays and getting guys open, we just couldn't ever execute. This game showed what happens when just a couple guys start executing.

Hooper Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Great game by Rex. I thought he played fairly well last week too. Look at the guys around him. No running game, no playmakers, and a injury-riddled line. Some of the guys he was throwing to were literally not in the NFL two weeks ago.

MartinC Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Good performance by Rex, he made some very good throws and moved the ball with not a great deal around him in terms of playmakers. Still the odd bonehead decision but he more than did his job today. He was clutch on the drive to tie he score and send it to OT. It was a well designed passing game as well attacking the Dallas safeties and the linebackers in the flats coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Rex's good games/plays show me what our offense can be if we hit on a great QB. It makes me feel better when I see games like this because if Rex can produce like this throwing to Gaffney and Stallworth, then Kyle's offense can be very exciting with more talent.

skins island connection Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Finally, Rex steps up and plays a decent game; finally. Not gameball good, just decent, but this was a team loss. Too many missed opportunities by the qb, kicker, te, defense, it was plays that needed to be made that weren't which cost us this game. Dallas isn't that good, as the defense showed, but they made clutch plays when they had to, and we didn't. I'm wondering if this same type of play from Rex will show up next week; but I'm not banking on anything, because once you start to have faith in him, he'll stink up the joint...

moondog Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 So how do you think Rex and It is will spin it so THT none of Rex's turnovers are Rex's fault? He threw a deep ball a little short because he was about to get blasted by a defender and couldn't step into it. His only other choice was to take the sack. Given the way he routinely made up for 1st and longs because of penalties today, he probably shouldn't have taken the sack but I wasn't that upset about it. Look at his whole game today and the players around him and you can't tell me you aren't pleased with his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, with the exception of Kyle Shanahan's play calling (especially on running plays), Orakpo and Hall, I'm greatly pleased by this team today. I haven't been this engrossed in a game since ... Well, the last Dallas game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
