I'm not saying our offense is bad, it's just unbalanced. It's becoming clear it's unsustainable for a complete season, let alone more than one.

I also like the guy but our approach has been really unbalanced. I don't know if such a pass-heavy offense is sustainable even for a full season. We're still one of the worst teams rushing in the NFL (26th overall) and our longest run of the season is a measly 29 yards. Even a very old and bruised AP produced better rushing numbers around here not too long ago. And the sacks allowed, as you know, have also been a problem. The even more incompetent Giants are dead last in the League at 54. Guess who's second worst at 47?

Ahhh the possibilities...

Ok, but who's the tower?

We can be unpredictable alright...unpredictably incosistent.

If you have Mahomes that makes sense. But Howell needs some kind of running game to balance his 40+ passes per game. Last week versus NE was one of our better running games of the season and it showed. No one particular runner reached 100 yards but the change of pace helped Howell a lot.

He be half Italian.

Pass-happy is an understatement. More like obsessed. We're basically KC East Coast wannabees. Mercifully, EB kinda solved the sack fiesta of the first-half of the season. We're still second-worst in that regard though bc the Giants just passed us (49 vs 44).

You're right. Still a bit taller than Crowder at 5'9.

He's had a very consistent career. Perfect fit in the slot for us right now. Tough guy. Not as lanky as the other WRs.

I'm still not convinced on this team. Score should have been 44-10 in our favor. We absolutely dominated in TOP and total yards but barely managed a 3 point difference. And New England is atrocious. One of the worst Belli-Cheat teams I have ever seen. They will be selecting in the first 5 slots of the draft. Our Defense is very irregular. But hey, at least we had a more balanced attack with some flashes in the running game to compliment Howell's great day. And only three sacks today. A huge improvement for our O-line two weeks in a row.

Belli-Cheat is still a good defensive coach. Or at least much better than Rivera. This will be a real challenge for Howell, since our running game is non-existent. NE will blitz him to oblivion. And he'll do a real meat and potatos game: run run run until our defense tires. Nothing fancy. Deflaters: 17 Comms: 13

Not sold yet on the stats Howell has managed to post thus far. Our running game is basically an afterthought. No surprise we're ranked 22 in the League in total rushing yards. Those 10 teams at the bottom of the rushing pile, including us, are below .500, except for PITT and CINCI, which are 4-3. MINN is .500. And let's not talk about the sacks allowed again. Worst in the League at 41. So yes, lots of passing yards with Howell averaging 40+ pass attempts per game. Today 52! This new scheme seems just so...unbalanced.

We hired the fat guy from MoneyBall?

This will be the final straw. PHI: 70 WSH: 9 (three FGs even when down 36-0) I predict 8 sacks by PHI and three picks by their D. Our running game barely manages 36 yards total thanks to a couple of 18-yard scampers by Jacoby Brisquett in garbage time .

Well then we are royally screwwed bc we sure can't allow another 40 sacks. QB gonna get injured or Ramsey-ed-

It sure seems that way. But most teams insist on running the ball to create some sort of tempo until something "cracks" and the RB gets a big play. We have zero big runs. Our longest run this season is 27 yards. WHAT?!

We're about to pass Ramsey at this point and other dubious franchise records in sacks allowed in one season. Here's the link again. This is a historically bad group of players and terrible scheming to add ---> https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/redskins-most-sacks-allowed-in-a-season

Time to increase that medication, friend.

Even a mediocre O-line can play run football. Players love it. Going against all reasonable logic here by passing almost 40 times per game.

Well, we allowed six sacks todays and we're up to 40 in total. Worst in the league by a long shot. I'm not joking: at this pace we'll beat the `86 Eagles for most sacks allowed in a season with 104. This line is historically bad, but so is the coaching for a QB that likes to see his routes develop. Oh, and we're about to eclipse a bunch of our own worst franchise seasons in sacks allowed. Not that far from the pathetic '98 line actually --> https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/redskins-most-sacks-allowed-in-a-season

I have never seen a team less inclined to run the damn ball. Just 76 yards today. This is supposed to be the easiest play in football and we just can't get any sort of running game going. It's pathetic. Seems EB is one of those Xbox Madden fan boys that just insists on winning with 40+ passes every game even if he knows his method is just wrong and completely unbalanced.

I agree man, worst decision in franchise history.

Rivera and the entire FO should be fired for neglecting the O-Line this offseason. Everyone, and I mean everyone, agreed this was a problem last season. Only TH's weird antics saved face when it collapsed around him on every snap. These guys couldn't protect a bingo caller in an elderly home.

This could be a Saquon Barkley coming out party. He's had a very quiet season but looked good vs the Bills. So maybe he has a breakout game against us. Dude is drowned in trade rumors and he'll be a FA agent at the end of the season. The perfect stage to bust 100+ yards by gashing our D with an average of 9 yards per carry. Jones is not the one to worry about, IMO.
