There was never any garbage time. We were within two scores with five minutes to go. If the Eagles let up, then they were fools. They didn't. They didn't take their starters out and didn't go into a prevent style defense until we went into our two minute offense. If we hadn't turned it over on downs we would have had a legit chance to win that game because we had completely seized the momentum in the second half.

mike42 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I was wrong about the eagles, they aren't as good as advertised like they were in the 1st half. We came back with 20 unanswered points. A lot happier than I was earlier with our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins4eva Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've never been so happy to have an early bye. Griffin needs all the time he can get. Good thing our division games are backloaded this year. We just need to focus on winning the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Losing a division game at home is a big loss. The NFC East doesn't offer much breathing room and everything about today's game can loom large. They picked the roster possible game to look ridiculous for an entire half.

rocazares Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well, the coaching staff, players and even us needs this lose, some people puts a blow out against the eagles. I hope we do better next week, the schemes versus the packers for coaching staff, the balls and focus for the players. We're a very good team but not tonight and our rival was best on both sides of the ball.So is the first week, even yesterday NE have a hard time at Buffalo, NY at Dal an odd game, move on to week two.

ejay183 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 This lost really hurts, but the team could have rolled over. They didnt, Griffin knocked off some rust and started to get some rhythm going. Chip Kelly better really enjoy that win cause the Skins showed his scheme has protection problems that will be exposed with more film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADF Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 This was hardly any one player's fault. Thank you! I see people trying to put this loss on one player. The whole team just didn't get it done. Defense couldn't tackle. Offense turned the ball over and committed too many penalties. Special teams killed in the field position game. I don' think we'll be seeing Thompson next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchellvii Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Nobody expected us to go 16-0. I think we can learn some lessons from this game. WE can beat GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinswillwin06 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Where was 4th and 15 again? My mistake. They wouldn't have gone for it on 4th and 10 and gotten the penalty. 54 yarder. Iffy, but still. Regardless, they lost, but the FG did matter IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkfan63 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I really think that they will play much better next week. I probably shouldn't say this and jinx them, but I don't see how they could NOT play better. Sad things is, they could play better and still lose.

mrfixit28 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's ONE ****ing Game, get over yourself already Exactly....btw....anyone notice Helu was a BIG part of the offense the 2nd half. Glad I dont have Morris on Fantasy team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG3Hunna Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 alright that's enough negative post from us ladies and gentleman, we took an L but it's a long season lets keep our composure eat our crow and see how we play next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakinaiken Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I really think that they will play much better next week. i bet the defense is looking forward to playing a somewhat conventional offense... albeit a very good/efficient offense, but slightly familiar nonetheless.

Really, we didn't go into hurry up at all until the 4th quarter. The coaches had given up. NO excuse for the lack of urgency in the 3rd, none. That's on Shanny.

Skins4Life6388 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 The guys better show up for an entire game next week. This one hurts and I'm going to be pissed for the rest of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Positives: The team didn't quit, RGIII got a bit of a rhythm going, Hankerson's two touchdown catches, Jordan Reed. Negatives: The first three quarters, take your pick, there were a ton of them. Hopefully, they'll regroup and come out attacking against a talented Packers squad. Nonetheless, still had a great time talking with fellow skins fans during the game. Until next week...signing off for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Disappointing, but I think we starting to come back to normal. RG3 seemed himself late in the game. Hopefully most of the rust is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryMason Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well if there's anything consistent about the Redskins it's that they tend to lose games that people think they will win and win games that people think they should lose....so I give us a good shot in GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Gadsden Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 After one game, i see 'fans' determining a losing season. How can you call yourself a fan if your faith and loyalty is that thin? Classic overreaction in the overreaction thread. Last year the Colts, Seahawks, and Packers lost in week one, and all went on to the playoffs. We have a young, second year QB coming off of an ACL tear, and if anyone thinks you just come back from that and into your prime, you've never had an ACL injury. Add to all that, it's a new coach with a new scheme with no tape on him (other than college, which doesn't really count) Week one rust, it comes with having a young team sometimes. We were sloppy and clumsy like the majority of the other teams I saw play in week one. Skill was never the issue. Cheer up and look on to week two.

The Trashman Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Is RGIII ready? Is he 100% or just cleared and ready to go?? Lots of questions and I hear Brian Mitchell and company slamming the Skins organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XEL Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I really think that they will play much better next week. There's just too much emotion flying around right now. This was Griffin's first action since January. He had to get comfortable physically and mentally. We started to see some of that near the end when he began taking off to buy time. Just like the Seattle game he wasn't playing at his full potential the whole time. If he had played the way he did in the 4th the entire game, the game would've easily been ours. Now that he looks slightly more comfortable, I'm actually excited to see us take on GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
