william1970 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi to all in America, Well... I thought I was dreaming or having a nightmare... but I wasn't was I? What IMBECILE decided to go for a 2-point conversion? Whoever made that decision has no business being in charge of our football team. If you think it doesn't matter... IT DOES. BIGTIME. It was NOT a nothing game. No game is a NOTHING game. All that hard work, at the end of the 4th Qtr in the Falcons game... RUINED by a terrible coaching decision. One of many we've seen this season. The percentage play was the 1-pt conversion. Live to fight another day. Give us a shot at OT. Now the players have had their psyche damaged even further. They can't win with RG3 and they can't win with KC. They can't win. That's what they've learned today. Whoever made that decsion needs to go. And FAST. I'm disgusted with how our team is being run. All we have as Skins fans is memories of years ago. All that hard work the players put in for the Falcons game RUINED by one terrible decison. What the hell is going on in Washington? Let's hope we can do Dallas next Sunday. At least we can smile again then. Warm Regards, William, England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I like the call. Why risk injury in OT? Show some balls and get the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardSkinsfanNJ Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hated the freaking the play but i would go for 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKINS_08 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I called for the 2 pt conversion before we scored. Liked the decision. After the failure to complete it hurts but I agree with the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aolforbroadband Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 An idiot who wants to be fired, that's who. At this point, who cares about injury? It's not like RG3 is in there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 If they are 10-3 instead of 3-10, you kick the extra point. At this point in the season though, I can't complain too much about the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trasoul82 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Can you guarantee that Kirk Cousins would have even touched the football in overtime? It was a game situation that you just can't simulate... in a season that can't be saved. The actual play call could have been better, though.

DJD2 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I had no problem with it and was actually hoping they went for it. OT is no guarantee and there is always the risk of injury. Silver lining is it helped their draft position too. I saw the entire team comer up afterwards to Cousins and offer their support. He led them down the field with a chance at the win after the team turned the ball over 7 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Season's over anyway. If the Eagles had managed to score a TD in that second-to-last game last season, you know Reid would've gone for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We're 3 and 10. What the Hell did we have to lose? He's a prick and a half no question. But you can't slam him for going for the WIN! The actual play, now that's different. That you CAN question. But NOT going for it. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar1156 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I thought for sure it would be a QB draw. Not sure what the hell Kyle called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I like the decision if it's a video game. I dislike it if it's the NFL. Mind you, I'm willing to admit I'd reverse myself if it had worked, but this is a game where the d actually played well. Atl only scored off turnovers otherwise they were terrible.

The Diesel Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It's a coin toss proposition statistically. There's plenty of rationales to support the decision. Being that it's basically a 50/50 chance in the NFL, if you think it's a no brainer decision either way then you probably the one with the thinking problem. This is pretty much like calling somebody an IDIOT for calling heads instead of tails on the opening coin toss. Tails never fails! Everyone knows that. What an IDIOT!! Ahhhh. Fire him.

Gracelander Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I thought it was a good call to go for 2. Being 3-12 or 4 -11 doesn't seem any different to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjunkie07 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Wasn't it the correct call statistically? I dont have a problem with the decision to go for it.. It just didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Agree with the call to go for 2..disagree with the play call. Just made a great call to get Moss wide open for a TD then nothing for the 2 point..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsforlife101 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Don't like the call if Atlanta was going down the field evey drive it would be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJD2 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We don't have a first round pick, so there is no silver lining. See I don't get this. You do realize we have picks in all the other rounds right, and every one of those just moved up higher right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I would be more receptive to the call if the Redskins defense was playing bad, but it was a good half for them. This team needs a W badly IMO that was a sign of disrespect to the D and Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armada58 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I loved the call. You get one play at the 2 yard line and you win. Or, you go for OT when anything can happen. I'll take the 2 point conversion!!! If Cousins throws to Morgan instead of Garcon, we're all celebrating a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General NSJ Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Of all the things to get upset about this year, this is the least. Shanny showed some balls out there and went for the W. I don't have a problem with it. Lord knows this game went on long enough anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98ORAKPO98 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm glad we went for it and didn't get it, I'm glad we lost, I hope we continue to lose the rest of our games this season, although close ones like this one with Captain Kirk playing well like he did for the most part today so we can trade Kirk for a first round draft pick and so we can pick higher in the draft. EDIT: I take back my original statement, I somehow forgot we play the Cowgirls next week, I never want to lose to the Cowgirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Kyle and MIke Shanahan should be fired in the locker room and not allowed to fly back to DC... all of that work to go down to try and tie the game, and you ****ing go for two points and lose the game on a play like that??????? SMDH Coaches and players always say, one play never looses a game... but guess what THIS TIME IT DID!!!!! They ruined a chance to see what players would do in a higher pressure situation (OT) and evaluate some guys more, but nooooo they flushed that down the crapper! Those that say they should of gone for two... really?????? You dont want players to be evaluated more? yea 0okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTillIDie Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I thought for sure it would be a QB draw. Not sure what the hell Kyle called. Atlanta were prepared for it. Brought a blitzing linebacker to the middle of the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
