Mark The Homer Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Oct. 30, 2011 Rogers Centre – Toronto, Canada Game Notes: Washington Redskins at Buffalo Bills · Linebacker London Fletcher recorded his second interception of the season and 18th interception of his career by intercepting Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second quarter. Fletcher’s most recent interception had come on Sept. 18 in a Week 2 win vs. Arizona. · Fletcher played in his 215 consecutive regular season game, tying him for most among active NFL players with Tampa Bay cornerback Ronde Barber. He also started his 171st consecutive game, most among active NFL linebackers. · Linebacker Brian Orakpo recovered the first fumble of his career in the second quarter. The fumble recovery was the Redskins’ first since Barry Cofield recovered a fumble in the second quarter of Washington’s Week 4 win against St. Louis on Oct. 2. · Defensive end Kedric Golston’s third-quarter sack of Fitzpatrick gives Golston 1.5 sacks for the season. Golston is now 0.5 sacks shy of tying his career high for sacks in a single season. · Defensive end Stephen Bowen tied a single-season career high in sacks, registering a half-sack to reach 3.0 for the season. · Punter Sav Rocca placed two punts inside Buffalo’s 20-yard line. Rocca now has 16 punts placed inside the opponents’ 20 for the season, pushing Rocca past Tampa Bay’s Michael Koenen (15), who led the league entering the game. · Fifty percent of Rocca’s punts (16-of-32) this season have been downed inside the 20. Entering this week’s games, Rocca led the league with 53.8 percent of punts placed inside the 20-yard line amongst punters with a minimum of 20 punts. No other punter with a 20-punt minimum had a percent above 44 percent. · Rocca had six punts without a touchback against Buffalo, giving him zero touchbacks on 32 punts this season. · Running back Ryan Torain had his first reception of the season in the third quarter. · Running back Roy Helu tied a career-high in receptions with three, set previously on Sept. 18 against Arizona. · Rookie wide receiver Leonard Hankerson had his first career catch in the first quarter, registering a 23-yard reception for the Redskins’ first third down conversion of the game. · The Redskins held the Bills to zero points on Buffalo’s opening drive. The Redskins entered the game as one of six teams yet to allow a touchdown on their opponents’ opening drive. · The Redskins held the Bills to a field goal at the end of the first half. The Redskins are now tied for second in the NFC for fewest points allowed in the final two minutes of halves (12 – Atlanta). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Bryant Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 This list seems oddly incomplete. Mike Shanahan's first scoreless game as a head coach? The record-tying nine sacks allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 In the interest of full disclosure, let's add to these "notes." I'll start with a couple. -Quarterback John Beck is still looking for his first NFL victory. -The Redskins lost more yardage in sacks than they gained rushing. -The Bills had more than twice as many sacks today as they've recorded in all their other games combined. (NINE today, only 4 coming into the game.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH, I know you're only the messenger for this compilation, but on a day when the Redskins scored NO points, to highlight this crap (whoever it is) is just laughable.

Pretty sad when these are the best stats of the day. Although I will say this last one is pretty amazing. Not one touchback this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area51 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yes, we may have sucked major ass today, HOWEVER, the Redskins have yet to give up a TD on their opponents opening drive. That statement was so sad that I actually started laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diss Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My personal fave: · The Redskins held the Bills to a field goal at the end of the first half. The Redskins are now tied for second in the NFC for fewest points allowed in the final two minutes of halves (12 – Atlanta). ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME????? THIS IS A STAT WORTH GIVING A CRAP ABOUT??? ON A DAY WE LOST 23-ZERO???!!! Good PR doesn't always mean finding anything possible to spin positive. It sometimes mean knowing when to just shut the hell up because your remaining fans aren't outright imbeciles. This joke/flop/fiasco of a performance just keeps right on chuggin'. And with that, to bed I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetimmysmith Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 That's awesome that the defense is second in the conference in points allowed during the final two minutes of halves. Now if they can just show up the first 28 minutes of each half.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
