Warhead36 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Juice should have been on Brown 1 on 1. He's our biggest/most physical CB and its the one matchup that isn't a complete mismatch. Brown is just such a monster though. I can't believe the Titans traded him for just a single 1st. What a joke. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) It seems like JDR does not sub out his DL nearly as much as in years past. Like, significantly so. I may be missing something scrolling a crashed ES website during games but our DL could not just be getting frustrated, but gassed. I do consider it a small victory cheeseman didn't have a game ending poor snap on the XP. That play right before Dotson scored? I hope Samuel batted that down. At least Sam fired that one out fast.

Skinsinparadise Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) For those who like to use PFF to defend Wylie. On PFF's metrics He had a 49 yesterday. that's a bad grade. In pass protection, 3 of his 4 games he had a 55 grade or less. That's also a bad grade. 4 sacks attributed to him that means he is on pace to give up 17 sacks. To put it in perspective he was maligned last year for giving up 9 sacks which was one of the highest numbers last season in the league. He gave up last year 49 pressures, if i recall that was top 5 in the league. This year he's on pace to give up 64 pressures. Again attributed to HIM. This mind you is from the outfit that those who like to defend Wylie like to say defeats the argument that he's been bad.

KWilliamsAWinfield Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 This game was very disappointing because this was a very winnable game, this Eagles team is not the same Superbowl team as last year since Eagles seems to let teams come back in almost every game but I am very proud of the Redskins regardless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucked last year and has gotten worse. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Not going for 2 was fairly unforgivable to me. Gutless. Incredible final drive. Chance to bag a memorable win on a wild finish. Who needs overtime with a short week ahead. I half expected us to miss the kick. And winning in overtime, who really thought that was happening. Rivera has to take that 2 point conversion on. He has to see that opportunity to make a massive statement. Both he and JDR belong in a different era. A past one. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t even have come to that situation that smith play wasn’t a catch terry had the catch OT Also idc if the eagles have a very good OL. What’s the point drafting first round DL just to get handled? Love the guys and think they’ve done well but yesterday showed us our obvious weakness . Which is when ever we go up against a very talented offense we choke and look lost . That has to stop man . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we got the ball first in OT, so I liked our chances. If we lost the toss we lose 100%. That's why I wanted to go for 2. I didn't fully trust our offense with our OL as erratic as it is. All it takes is one pressure for a sack/fumble or pick and its game over. Meanwhile our defense was getting eaten alive in the 2nd half. I think our chance of winning in OT was more like ~33% at best. Pretty sure even conservatively speaking a 2 point conversion was like 45% success rate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this league built on how good of a qb you got and if you’re defense can cause turn overs . Yesterday , Howell showed me he has a lot of potential . Eagles might not be like last year but they do have a very deadly pass rush . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 17 hours ago, Voice_of_Reason said: We’ve spent WAY too many resources on defense, which is by far the less important side of the ball. Either all the picks pay off and you have a top 5 unit or else it’s a huge, enormous waste. This is one of my main arguments against coaches making the draft picks rather than being subordinate to the GM. They inevitably focus on players on the side of the ball/positions they are tied to while failing to build a complete roster. Picking Young over a franchise QB when we already had Sweat, Allen, and Payne meant that that one or more of those guys would be a cap casualty, and I don't think Young could ever be that much better than Sweat...and now I think it's inevitable that neither will be back next year. Likewise, Christian Darrisaw fell right into our laps, but Ron had to have his next Luke Keuchly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Well, I screamed Go For 2 at the TV but then thought, wait, they are likely to call that Logan Thomas under center play again...guys, they saw it already, let's dial up something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I just realized I put this in the wrong thread So here I wanted to do the drive by drive analysis of the offense. Drive 1: RPPRPPSPRRPPRR (6 Runs, 7 Passes 1 Scramble) - Terry x2, Samuel, Dotson x2, Robinson, Drive 2: RRPPPPPR (3 Runs, 5 Passes) - Terry x2, Brown, Thomas, Dotson Drive 3: RPP (1 Run, 2 Passes) - Samuel (sack) Drive 4: PRPPPRPPPRP (3 Runs, 8 Passes) - Dotson x3, Thomas, Terry, Brown, Robinson, (sack) Drive 5: RPRPP (2 Runs, 3 Passes) - Terry x2, Dotson Drive 6: PRRPPP (2 Runs, 4 Passes) - Thomas, Bates, Brown, (sack) Drive 7: PPPSPSPPPRR (2 Runs, 7 Passes, 2 Scrambles) - Terry, Samuel x4, Gibson, Dotson Drive 8: RPSRPS (2 Runs, 2 Passes, 2 Scrambles) - Pringle, (sack), Drive 9: PPPPPPPPPP (10 Passes) - Samuel x2, (sack), Pringle, Brown, Terry x2, Dotson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 One thing that maybe hasn't been mentioned because he's usually so good, but Tress had a terrible day yesterday. Too many line drive punts that gave the Eagles PR some really good returns. Don't what happened to him, but definitely a bad day for him 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, Warhead36 said: We're just not a good blitzing team. I don't know why people keep screaming BLITZ BLITZ BLITZ. Our guys are slow and rushing the QB and Del Rio always has them coming from super far away and really late. People think blitzing is as simple as just running really fast at the QB but there is a skill set to it. We just don't have guys on defense that blitz effectively. I think the last back seven player we had that was an above average blitzer was Landon Collins. And Del Rio doesn't scheme it well either. The strength of our defense is hoping our front four generates pressure and our secondary can hold up. Neither worked yesterday against an all world Eagle OL and WR duo. This is an excellent point, something I've noticed as well. This just has never been a good blitzing team, when they call it they mostly get beaten by it. As for going for 2 I wanted it at the time too. But I also realized they never seem to convert very often so I was fine either way. They had momentum, if Terry's foot was an inch to the left they very well could have won the game on that drive.

zCommander Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Jay Gruden on the radio today said he would have gone for 2. Also said the decision is made before the situation comes to hand. They have to discuss what if we score a TD do they go for 2 or tie the game. So Ron saying the team was gassed makes it that Ron made the decision at the moment then. Since their D was gassed too so a quick play there would have worked. Maybe EB couldn't come up with a play that quick I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Cold Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Defense has got to start making game changing plays. They are not helping our cause. If our offense can score 25/week, we should be winning most games. This defense is gonna bend but not break us into perpetual mediocrity. Need a new, more downhill, aggressive approach to force mistakes instead of playing soft and waiting. We have the wolves to hunt, but they’re just not hunting Edited October 2, 2023 by Stone Cold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have shown a pass play but given the ball to BRob who is more than capable of carry people on his back for 2 yards.

Finally blitzed in OT only to get torched. JDR needs to get creative with the blitz packages. Where is a CB blitz from the slot or a LB coming off the edge on a delay? So vanilla that teams know exactly what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a whiner saying that stuff during games, or that I’m just being anecdotal and emotional. But it’s like damn, can a FG kicker ever miss a damn kick against us? Even from 50+, it’s money. Same with the elite throws becoming completions by a hairline, just the only possible place the ball can go and there it is - usually on a crucial 3rd down. I feel the same. I ****, whine, piss and moan about it pretty much every game. I do, however, think that the refs haven't been picking on us as much this season....
