While I agree to an extent I don't think they were bad enough to take us down on their own. Take today for instance. They held their own and kept us in the game for quite a while. But when your offense can't stay on the field for more than a few plays no defense is going to remain effective. Don't get me wrong, we've got issues and I want Bruce gone as much as anyone. But I believe if Alex had stayed healthy we'd have squeaked into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have is that we never even attempted anything different to try and overcome the injuries. If we tried anything different, that would be something, but all we did is cry about how hard life is. Boo hoo.

This is a worn out excuse, a lot of games go back and forth in low scoring games with teams trading 3 and outs. If you dont allow 14 play drives you dont get tired. Manusky has no idea what to call in the defensive backfield and either does Torain Grey...and yea Manuskys blitzes..uuggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glongest Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 So I am watching the post game shows on TV and they have this thing where they go around and pick the player that you give the thumbs up for the game. Santana Moss chooses Josh Johnson. Are you kidding me? Did he watch the same game I did? The offense had 89 total yards, 68 yards passing, he throws a pick on the first play of the game, and I think I saw did not convert a single 3rd down. The next talking head that says this guys needs to be invited back next year I think I will puke on their shoes. He was awful today and every game before today. So he beat the Jags. Big deal. They are the worst offensive team in the league. But they would have beat us today. So today you have the fans of a division rival, defending super bowl team, take over your team hollering their chant and pitch a shut out in your stadium that could have been 50 to nothing easily. If you are the owner of this team and that is not embarrassing enough to cause you to make SWEEPING changes front office and otherwise, then nothing ever will and those of you who are still fans will continue to suffer through this misery. And now for an even more depressing thought. We will pick somewhere around 15 in the draft. Is there anyone that thinks there are 14 worst teams in the NFL at this stage. Yes we will get some injured players back but likely our starting quarterback will not be able to play and we have no way to correct that, (and he wasnt playing that well anyway but we are stuck with him) no good receivers, looks like the ship has sailed on the tight end we gave alot of money to and he can't stay healthy anyway, inside linebackers are horrible, safety will be a huge question and we have weak corners. And oh by the way, Chris Thompson who was our best offensive player last year has been a shell of himself since the injury. His ship may have sailed as well. And this front office has proven, they don't have the skills to do anything about any of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I saw a tweet that I think implied there was no halftime show. If true, how rude to the fans of bands, cheerleaders etc including many kids that went to that dumpster hoping to watch. NFL Halftime shows are a thing. I am sure it was done to snub the philly fans, who survived just fine by making the playoffs instead. Reporters should press for who short changed the fans on what would obviously be the best part of many skins fans day. The scheduled entertainers probably didn't get paid and never cancelled until after game time. Its impressive how we can somehow continue to exonerate our own fans. You'd think with the marketing team axed on Tuesday they would at least try to make a little splash today, somehow. I guess it was the fake punt.

Ultimately it does not matter, not from the totality of everything that was wrong with the 2018 Washington Redskins. But like I said, that excuse is there, and can be used, and it will be a valid one, and people will say "Yep! There it is! Thats it, thats the reason!" So I will keep that in mind when Jay Grudens 2019 Washington Redskins are again catastrophically injured, and many people are basically saying "Well gee golly, they try really hard and it's all so unfortunate and freakish, and unprecedented, and can't you just give them a break? Geez!" Maybe 2020 follows the same predictable pattern/excuse. 2021 perhaps? I. sure it won't matter. So long as people keep getting injured, we should understand that they just cant compete, and give them an attaboy for even suiting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I am always impressed when a QB takes sacks on 4th downs. Yes we have no pass pro but it shouldn't matter. in fact, it should make things easier as the coach should know to call quick throws, or, i don't know, ROLL THE QB OUT once in a while. Regardless the QB has to know he will have a guy in his face and know he is going off schedule. Just get rid of the ball. Throw it over your head blindly down field. Try/Pray for our best play on days like today, the pass interference. Tell the WR to yell/flop/arms up at any contact. The real beaut is the 4th and long sack fumble.
