ES Coverage & Interactive Game Day Thread: Redskins vs Buccaneers (Final - Photos & Writeup)

[Rskins06]

I think defense quit today when they realized the Offense was not going to do anything. Total Team fail though.

Jay Gruden said they played like it was a preseason game. Says "nobody proved that they deserved to start." ..Called it "horrific"

[carex]

That is a part of being a NFL QB.

 

 

 

I'm not talking the kind of hit where you stand in and get the ball away and get laid out, I'm talking the kind of hit where the other guy disrupts your arm movements and you fumble or throw an INT

[FXMASTER]

Really dont understand why after coming off the bench to win in Tenn, and after one week of practice with the first team, McCoy does enough to secure a win in Dallas, and there is no real confidence in him. Dude probably would have won in min, and after 2 more weeks of practice would have tore TB to shreds. Think of the rest of the scheduel after coming off of a 4 game winning streak. 

[KingGibbs]

After watching the offense today based on body language alone I do believe the report that the team doesn't like RGIII.

[FrFan]

At least the giants lost... 

Eli with 5 Ints !

[Hunter_R]

So the Ds that McCoy and Cousins faced are carbon copies of the Tampa D we faced today?

No. They were better.

[RG3Hunna]

Look at the culture in the locker room, the guys are dancing and playing around while they're 3-6!

 

Your job is to WIN football games, when you're 3-6 you should be physically ILL to your stomach if winning in football really means the world to you. 

 

A lot of players use the politically correct answer "we hate to lose" but they don't really hate to lose. players like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Adrian Peterson, Ed Reed, Kevin Garnett etc etc etc HATE to lose to the point they can't function.

 

Our guys lose games and go to the locker room pretend they're sad and then the next day they're in the locker room dancing for instagram. smh i'm so PISSED OFF. 

[thamajinforte]

of course you're gonna have a good week of practice when your defense and your offense are equally as ****ty, Jay

[Dheavy]

Now that the season is basically over, can Spencer Long, Josh Leribeus, and Chris Thompson get some playing time?. we need to see how well the young guys can perform and decide on how we draft going forward. Morgan Moses played well filling in for Trent today, and i hope he can build on his play today. And Haslett has to go. Not in the off season, he needs to go now!

[carex]

Trent Williams, Desean Jackson, Alfred Morris, Keenan Robinson, Breeland,Jordan Reed, Hatcher, Kerrigan and maybe Amerson are the ONLY players that play with ANY passion.

 

9 players on a 53 man roster and we wonder why we're 3-7? Seattle has like 40 of their 53 man roster last year playing with passion and they won a superbowl. 

 

you see Helu fighting for yards on that play where he fumbled.  If the Redskins hadn't played with passion in the first half they'd have two fewer turnovers. 

 

Redskins with passion are like Gus Frerotte celebrating a TD run

[Destino]

Gruden basically said RG3 was dumb just now.

"We put some stuff together that we thought were really simple, but I guess they weren't" or words to that effect.

Can we put that on an adidas t shirt?

[thamajinforte]

Screw Cousins, if there's any QB on our roster I want to see, its Colt McCoy. 

 

i was just saying since Eli threw 5 picks and has a tendency to throw a **** ton of picks lol i wanted McCoy to play these last 2 games

Gruden said there were "concepts" where redskins should've had open receivers and Griffin didn't see them for whatever reason.

[NewCliche21]

God I hope Trent Williams is okay.

 

He's the only thing worth anything on this offensive line right now.

[HapHaszard]

Well I can honestly say this game has shown what direction this team is going.  Not the way I hoped that is for sure.

[Davistron20]

I thought Moses did ok filling in for Williams today. I was initially expecting about 6 sacks all from the blindside. Did anyone notice if Moses was responsible for any sacks?

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

that fabled intangible "passion"...

 

I think we have a lot of guys with heart and guts tho

[Destino]

No. They were better.

By a considerable margain.

[carex]

No. They were better.

 

I remember from Chicago Lovie Smith creates excellent pressure

[The Hangman- C_Hanburger]

Griffin never had help. First season he saved himself with his speed. Then Shanahan ruined him with the injury. Hard to grow when you barely get help and injured a bunch.

SO SHANAHAN ruined him....see THIS is where it started....The QB WANTED/DEMANDED to go back in...The quote was "I want to Finish what *I* started..me..me..me (3X)...so Mike had a choice to make...which one would YOU choose

 

ANYONE who made Albert RUN WIND SPRINTS is OK in my Book...This TEAM NEEDS a Liitle RED LOBSTER right now.

 

Mike and Kyle...you were done dirty...

[Fat Stupid Loser]

Maybe it's a carlos Rogers thing and he just needs an eye doctor. Optimism, I have it.

[DraftChrisLong]

Gotta give Gruden credit for not sugar coating this performance.  Can't blame just Robert, can't blame just the O-Line, but you can blame them both

[Hunter_R]

Maybe he did it in Chicago. It's not happening in Tampa Bay. Well, not until they played the Redskins.
