NFLAnalyzer Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 knowing that his FUMBLE was why the Skins are 4-2 right now. This is one of the rare cases when you can defintely pin the loss on one guy. He should know better. He defintely is the LOSER of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He defintely is the LOSER of the day. +1 Yeah, I know people say "win or lose as a team", but that one play DID cost the Redskins the game. It was a 10 or 14 point shift on the scoreboard. Offensive linemen, especially NFL veterans, know that they do NOT try to make plays on the ball...EVER!!! WTF was he thinking??? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwitt Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 People want to kill Kendall and it was not a smart play but in his defense think about how hard it would be to catch the ball in mid air and just go down. Easy to do when you are falling on a loose ball but he recovered the ball on while in motion. I can at least understand that it is a natural reaction to take the ball and run with it. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMason Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The play sucked, but you can't say he was the only reason we lost this game. If Cooley doesn't fumble, we'd get a field goal and win. If the defense doesn't let the Rams awful offense bomb it down the field during the final drive, we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONTEY Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong. But didnt he get called for two penalties in a row, offsides I believe, In the Cowturds game? Took away one of two TDs in that possession. I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Uhhh, how many points did we give up on turnovers before that one? Yea, one play NEVER a game makes (or breaks). I'm sure that doesn't make him or anyone else on the team feel better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Cooley's fumble happened early, It was the least severe turnover all day. You are taught as an o linerman to bat the ball down, not to run with it. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are taught as an o linerman to bat the ball down, not to run with it. It's that simple. I don't care how early it was. We were in field goal range, weren't we? If he doesn't drop the ball, we win the game. Don't blame Kendall for the whole team's mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are taught as an o linerman to bat the ball down, not to run with it. It's that simple. You are 100% correct on this. It makes since too since you are most likely going to be behind the line of scrimmage when you would have the opportunity to haul the ball on a play like this. Better off just killing the ball and taking the incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 This is one of the rare cases when you can defintely pin the loss on one guy. Because Cooley's fumble had nothing to do with it. Because Rabach's snap had nothing to do with it. Brooks' horrendous punting had nothing to do with it. Because the blown coverage on Avery had nothing to do with it. C'mon. We can be mad at Kendall. He f'd up bad. But you can't lay this squarely on his shoulders. Fact of the matter is that the Rams shouldn't have even been in the game at that point. We pissed away so many opportunities and had so many potential scoring drives ended on dumb mistakes that Kendall's gaffe was just our comeuppance for letting them stay close in the first place. The team lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Stuff like this is ignorant :bsflag: This team had plenty of opportunities to put points on the board and win the game. It was a collective effort in the loss. One play (especially in the first ****ing half) doesn't win or lose you the game. The TEAM didn't show up hungry for a win today. The TEAM lost this game on many different plays. Get off of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It may have been impossible for Pete to tell if it was a deflected pass or a fumble. He may have thought he had to catch it. He shouldn't have run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgreena911 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 LOL at a play in the FIRST HALF being the single reason the Skins lost the game -- maybe it was the only 17 points they put on the board against the worst defense in the league, maybe it was the other two turnovers, maybe it was the terrible punting, maybe it was the sacks, maybe it was the stupid penalties that killed drives, maybe it was the long pass on a blown blitz assignment at the end of the game -- the Skins had PLENTY of chances to win this game -- they took the lead for crying out loud -- ridiculous to point to one very bad break for an otherwise very good player and blame him solely for the loss ... get serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MumboSauce Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Doesn't fall solely on him ..there were several miscues, mishaps, bad plays, penalties, turnovers whatever you want to call them, but his was pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous ... it put the cardinals ahead by THREE at HALF TIME - if it had made the score 21-0 Cardinals at the Half -- that would be completely different ... and considering the Redskins took the lead ... in the 4th quarter -- the argument is not valid at all ..

You are crazy..... Yes, a play here and there changes the course of the game and those ones are remembered. But, there are dozens more that can change the outcome of the game that go unnoticed. This team had plenty of shots and couldn't do it. You want to single out one play? Blame Torrence for having his head up his ass and not paying attention to the play.

You may be right, but as a Professional, and as a Redskin, its your job and obligation to not let "game changers" affect you, and the redskins as a team failed to do that... so therefore, they lost as a team.

It was the big game changing play dude. It was a 7 point swing possibly. It's not the only reason we lost as I stated, there are so many other poor executions that lost it for us too but if any SINGLE play made the biggest impact this was it. That's all I'm saying.

"Now it wasn't the ONLY reason we lost that's for sure" I'm saying no single play had as much impact (except for maybe Torrence but even then Brown still could've missed it". And yes, nowadays there are a couple key plays that in the end decide the outcome because of there residual effect. Dick Vermeil knows what he's talking about..
