By the way—red zone channel does everything it can not to show Washington.

Neither does the hurry up. Zero tempo at all with Scott Turner. He’s slow.

playcalling and design is meh. Get Gibson a d mccissic in the backfield together. Turner is awful.

We have to have a better play call on third and 2. We have coordinators who are equally awful. Third and short is our kryptonite on offense and third and long is our kryptonite on defense. What a brutally awful combo.

Turner is awful. He has just as much in game sense as his dad.

I don’t know why I torture myself each and every week. There’s nothing about this team that I enjoy. Dan Snyder ruins everything.

My lord this team just sucks. They just suck at everything.

That kind of play in that situation just doesnt happen to a well coached team. It doesn't even happen to a mediocre coached team. We are a poorly coached team. Our coordinators are both awful. Rivera is below average. And has zero, and i mean zero, in game awareness.

Can i pull a rip van winkle with this team? Someone wake me up in 100 years...

Del Rio should be relieved of his duties immediately. But Rivera also bears a ton of responsibility for this. The defense just has no clue. I now see that our linebacking core and secondary players are some of the worst in the league, but there's still no excuse for what we are seeing. This is fundamental 101 stuff. They have 8 seconds left. they don't have time for anything really but a hail mary. You want to keep the LB in the flat to try and stop a quick out and a long field go, fine, but the safeties were actually playing up.....playing up!!!!!!! It's complete coaching incompetence on the defensive side of the ball.

So here's the thing: the defense is awful, but so are our coaches. Midfield and we know Winston can throw it. We should be in deep prevent--why is the entire secondary running backward with the receivers. Of all the times not to play a 10-15 yard cushion...it's just unforgivable that this coaching staff continuously puts the defense in positions of failure.

We don't have field goal kicker that can hit a 52 yrd fg....we go for it on 4th and 10....

You know it like day follows night. This team just seems to be missing a spark.

Why aren’t we running in the red zone. Turner sucks. He just flat out sucks.

I would love to see Gibson and JD in the backfield together in a pro formation. So many possibilities out of a look like that, and you know they both scare the hell out of defenses. I think this offense is just getting started. I never thought id say this, but the offense will keep us in games this year!

The goal of any defense is to disrupt the offense. Take away what they do best and make them best you some other way. Give them different looks; surprise them; make them react rather than dictate. When I see NONE of that going on, I know it’s coaching. It’s true that we lack starting caliber talent at every linebacker position and arguably corner, but this scheme is exploiting our weaknesses. And it’s really disturbing that we looked this ineffective and inept coming out of a mini-bye. It means that the players either don’t like the scheme, don’t understand the scheme or lack the talent to execute it. I’ll go with the first option—the players hate this kind of defense. Because we play a soft zone, a QB doesn’t need to hold the ball and so the pass rush is totally ineffective. Because we don’t blitz and the middle of the zone is always open, we give up 9-12 yards consistently. We are constantly in second and short as a defense and we just rinse and repeat. Teams don’t even need to run to keep us honest bc we make it so easy for them. It is 100% inept coaching, and I’m just so sick of seeing it.

agree with this. His conditioning doesn’t seem to be there at all. Don’t think he worked hard this off-season.

The defensive scheme gives these players no hope, and they know it. It asks them to sit back and react. It won't work against the teams we are playing this year. We aren't challenging the offenses at all--we are letting them dictate everything. It's a massive schematic screw up and indicative of coaches who just have no clue. It's a lazy basic scheme that actually accentuates our glaring weaknesses at middle LB. So what do we do? We play a soft zone and allow every QB to destroy us for 9-14 yards a clip in the shallow middle. Three straight games this has gone on and there have been zero adjustments.

yeah it’s clear that coaching is a huge issue at the moment. When players aren’t giving it their all, which none of them are doing, it is always a form of self preservation. They know they are not being put in a position to succeed.

What haunts and will continue to haunt this franchise is Dan Snyder. He is the root of all evil with this team. He is the suck. We will never get out of our own way with him as owner. I don’t know much but after watching this manure franchise under his ownership, I do know that.

There’s no doubt. Bad ownership leads to bad coaching. Always.

Cmon. These guys are just packing it in and frustrated by playing in an awful system. Rivera is going to have to get rid of Del Rio or he will lose this team.

Pretty astute analogy. You can tell he just has no clue how to fix any of this.

It seems clear to me that the players hate the scheme on defense. These guys can tell they arent being put in a position to succeed. That's why it looks and feels like they are going through the motions...because they are. Something has to give here.

Heinicke is the least of our issues. Some of you are insane. He’s been literally the only guy making any plays today. Has gotten zero help from others.
