MustangSteve Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Does anyone really believe our defense is going to stop Manning and the Broncos offense? The only way we win this game is if our offense scores 50+ points. Rogers dissected us and it had nothing to do with his mobility, Manning will humiliate our defense.

General NSJ Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Unless they've learned the magic art of proper tackling, this D isn't stopping anyone, let alone the Broncos. I'm glad we get pressure and sacks on the QB, but when we don't get home, that's when things get super ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truskinsfan18 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 I think our defense played great today and we can definitely slow down Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheresRickySanders83 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Second half schedule is a lot better. Get to 3-5 and try to finish 6-2 over the last eight (two games vs. NYG, Dallas at home, Minny, Philly, KC at home--all winnable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 In practice, Manning gets 400 yds, 4 TDs and Merriweather has 3 PFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 For me, it's official. We only play well against the type of offense and players we know very well. It's like as soon as there is ANY semblance of an unknown we have absolutely no idea how to handle it. To me, that's a failure of coaching and we've got to get better at changing up what we do as soon as a key guy goes down. We're pressuring Cutler and playing tight against their WRs. We're keeping Forte in check. Then Cutler goes out and we start backing off? Why? Granted, McCown really screwed everything up by running the ball a lot and we didn't see that coming, but still. We just need to adjust faster. Somehow our game plans throughout the week are sensible but as soon as the other team does something new we can't answer. Come on Haslett, Morris and Slowik. Be better.

RiverboatGambler Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Lol @ OP. Lets not get carried away. Today was nice but we gave up 40+ to a Backup QB and barely survived by scoring 45 on a crippled defense. The Broncos are going to eat us alive on both side of the ball.

Larry Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yeah, Peyton Manning is looking at film of Josh McCown having, probably, a career game against us. I don't think he's scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I wonder how many more decades will we go before teams have to run against us, to beat us. Why can't we run an offense, that can run and pass equally; hang with the league elites? In year 4 of the Shanaplan, I would like to think we should be getting damn close. Bookend LT, check. Upper Echelon QB, check, highly regarded running back and WR; check, check. Yet our game plan always seems to be to about playing slow on offense. We have to milk the clock. I think it limits our playbook. Makes us predictable. Makes our jobs harder. I question if that approach is actually working, or do we really need that. Will it work indefinitely. We are not the hogs anymore. I saw the Jets last night in 5 wide, beating Atlanta. Why can't we do that? Half the time it seems Haslet calls his D in ways that lets teams slow play us. If that is our key to victory, why does he allow them to do it to us? I often see RG3 sitting on the bench for extended periods to start games. that's because our D is weak against the pass.we need to keep the ball away from other teams.

SoCalSkinsFan1975 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 More so than other defenses.... Willie Mcginest brought up an interesting point on Nfl Network. The reason Manning is having success is because he is throwing from a clean pocket 90% of the time. Willie brought up how his Patriots were able to stop Manning and make him look average by putting pressure on him. Our defense is built to stop Qb's like Manning(non-mobile). We have an elite defense in terms of turnovers, TDs, and sacks. I'd say part of the reason we have struggled is the mobile Qbs we have faced(Vick and Rodgers). Edit: I'm not saying we will in fact be able to stop them, but I think this is the type of defense we have built; one that relies on pressure rather than being stout. Sorry brutha, you are delusional! If your primes is that we will get pressure on him I would point you to the fact that he routinely gets the ball out of his hand in 1.5 seconds or less. We won't have a chance to get pressure which means our coverage game will be exposed... again! I love the Skins and I am very proud of how they battled and played today. But I think it is wishful thinking to say we are going to shut down one of the greatest to ever play having a career year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 My Peyton Manning Voodoo doll is taking a real **** kicking today. If he isn't on the field he cant beat us. Yes its low of me but I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Probably not the thread for it, but I can't remember ever disliking a Redskin as much as Brandon Meriweather.

Mr. Sinister Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 His brain is what moves faster than anything/anyone. Beat me to it. Peyton's football mind vs Haslett's coaching/gameplan ability is scary. We probably have to score 35-40 pts in this one to have a chance. Our secondary/front 7 need to pay the game of their lives for us to win this one. After today, I'm not that confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 We can't stop Josh McClown. Mannings jersey may end up in the HOF after the game. Yeah, we heard the same thing with Romo sits to pee. He and Dez Bryant were going to torch the Redskins. They didn't. Romo sits to pee had about 150 yards passing. Bryant had about 30 yards receiving. Any given Sunday.

I honestly don't think they need to play the game of their lives. They need to play mistake-free and intelligently. I do believe the special teams will have to play ridiculously great (for them) just to be a mediocre unit. I would consider them doing no harm a great success. Is their a special teams unit the Redskins are better than? I simply can't imagine there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
