hR Official Game Thread: Redskins @ Cowboys

[RedskinsDave]

Bad call but I will take it.

[cal_junior]

Tirico is the only guy to mention the actual rule and the other guys ignore him.

MNF rules

[JRudy]

that much closer to kicking another FG

[Goskins11]

i can't take games like this....

[Lavar703]

Give me a *** ******* ******* ******* ******* ******* ******* **** break Ware was way off-sides

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Change your snap count Rex.

[cal_junior]

Ruh roh

[SkinsfaninNJ]

What is going on. Why can't they snap the ball.

[skinsfan36]

one pt frickin lead and we dont block ware

[yossarian]

well that went to crap rather quickly...

[SkinsfaninNJ]

No margin for error here Haslett.

[KMDeMuth]

Gruden is such a GD tool...

[Goskins11]

shoot. i think they are gonna blow this one.

[jaylen]

that was offsides by Ware he clearly jumped offsides I wish grossman has some damn savy and did a hard count but thats asking too much.

[Lavar703]

I really don't know why we stopped running the ball?

[RedskinsDave]

Come on D

[DaveKShape]

we were handed a free pass to the red zone and still f'ed up.

[The Rex Machine]

The first downs flipped the field.....

[SkinsfaninNJ]

we cannot miss tackles and give up 5 more yards.

[cal_junior]

Can't do anything without better offensive line play

[Lavar703]

Get Barnes the hell out of there

[skinsfan36]

barnes beaten by ogletree.wheres westbrook ugh lol

[RedskinsDave]

Can Gruden lighten up on openly cheering for the GD Cowboys?

[jaylen]

we need a play here.

[cal_junior]

awful pass by Romo

[yossarian]

ugh. this is setting up perfectly to be a heart breaking loss on a FG at the buzzer.

[jaylen]

how many freaking times is this damn dude onna fumble and we're not even close to the damn recovery.

[Irish Redskin]

Wilson having a good game tonight.

[Goskins11]

why doesn't he drop one. cpome one get the ball.

[Lou2144]

Every bounce goes.right into romo's hands.

[cal_junior]

Josh Wilson is having a nice game

[Lavar703]

How does Romo have the ball bounce right back to him everytime? this has gone on for years now.

[Dolla Bill]

Jesus. Christ. Deangelo Hall sucks.

[DaveKShape]

we all knew we couldn't stop them at 3rd and 21. we knew it wouldn't happen.

[RedskinsDave]

Kill yourselves defense.

[yossarian]

oh *#^%(#)$)@#*@#*)

of course.

[cal_junior]

How is that "all Tony Romo"?

[Goskins11]

that's the game

[skinsfan36]

this sucks!

[KMDeMuth]

Are you F'n serious with this...

[Lavar703]

I hate this team so much. Game over because Haslett decides to send an all out blitz when its not needed. God I hate this crap, year after year the same stupid mistakes.

[Irish Redskin]

How did it take so long for the blitz to get there?

BS call from the refs! He touched the mask, but didn't grab it.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

They f'ing blew it.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

christ Hall - what kind of play is that

[Goskins11]

gruden is crap

[jaylen]

damn 3rd and 21 and they get the 1st down terrible.

[yossarian]

why the F do you blitz on 3d and 18? How does that make ANY SENSE?!

[cal_junior]

Second straight week Hall is doing his best to lose the game by himself

[Goskins11]

we gotta hope for another blown snap cause this one is over.

[sknz2856]

I hate this team so much. Game over because Haslett decides to send an all out blitz when its not needed. God I hate this crap, year after year the same stupid mistakes.

You run it twice and have them backed up...you'd think maybe show all out blitz the third time but drop back....maybe prevent the 1st down....incredible!

[jaylen]

Kerrigan blew that play if he takes the outside rush instead of crashing the fullback he forces the early throw and we stop them instead he rushes inside and it gives Romo too much time. damn.

[shally]

live and die with the blitz

[jaylen]

wow what a way to blow a damn game.

[Goskins11]

Second straight week Hall is doing his best to lose the game by himself

he has played pretty bad....

[Emmanouel8]

That was terrible calling an all out blitz on 3rd and 21. WTF!!

[SkinsfaninNJ]

One more stop and a quick TO does leave Kyle and Rex a significant amount of time to only need a FG.

Of course, we have hardly moved the ball all game too.

[cal_junior]

Kerrigan blew that play if he takes the outside rush instead of crashing the fullback he forces the early throw and we stop them instead he rushes inside and it gives Romo too much time. damn.

Agreed. Too many times in the past Skins defenses have gotten burned by being conservative. I have no problem dialing up a blitz against the banged-up QB. The guys just have to get to him in time and/or Hall can't get beat.

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

that 3rd and 21 screwed us boys! SS DIFFERNT GAME IN DALLAS! no way should the skins have lost this game! this is where that missed fg haunts us!

[skinsfan36]

live and die with the blitz

why blitz everyone on 3rd and 18 though?

[smoak]

This quarter and drive has been the epitome of why I lost hope. The offense stands around with their thumb up their bum and the defense does just enough to lose... 2:03 left before I take Adam Mansbach's advice and "Go the F*ck to Sleep".

Note: that is a literary reference so the veiled swear is allowed. :)

[Lavar703]

Kerrigan blew that play if he takes the outside rush instead of crashing the fullback he forces the early throw and we stop them instead he rushes inside and it gives Romo too much time. damn.

There was no point to blitz. It was not needed. Send Kerrigan but no a damn all out blitz on 3rd and 21

[DaveKShape]

One more stop and a quick TO does leave Kyle and Rex a significant amount of time to only need a FG.

Of course, we have hardly moved the ball all game too.

oh don't worry. we'll run 3 straight misguided passes in a row and then long bomb it on 4th into triple coverage.

[jaylen]

Hall is no shut down corner thats for damn sure. terrible play by him there.

gotta stop them on 3rd down here.

[Goskins11]

well i guess this team is what we thought they were and will only be .500 at best.

[Goskins11]

oh don't worry. we'll run 3 straight misguided passes in a row and then long bomb it on 4th into triple coverage.

sounds about right.

[Emmanouel8]

he has played pretty bad....

He runs his mouth pretty well during the week. Too bad he can't back it up.

[jaylen]

There was no point to blitz. It was not needed. Send Kerrigan but no a damn all out blitz on 3rd and 21

AGREED, absolutely AGREED

[cal_junior]

Nice play, moron

[CNYSkinFan]

so anyone have dan bailey in their fantasy team

[SkinsfaninNJ]

This should be enough time for a professional offense.

Let's see what kind of offense shows up.

[RedskinsDave]

What the hell was that ref doing at the snap on the FG?

[skinsfan36]

jaws needs knee pads(romo praising)

[smoak]

Second straight week Hall is doing his best to lose the game by himself

Most overrated Redskin in the past few years. I listened to a pod cast where analysts were breaking down just how many plays (and big plays) he allows.

Well here comes the Sexy One with just under two minutes.

[Ibleedburgundy]

this game isn't over

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

God these MNF announcers are riding Romo's jock.

[The Rex Machine]

Second straight week Hall is doing his best to lose the game by himself

The face mask penalty is going to give the offense a shot though. :sun:

[jaylen]

well Rex do what you did to end the 1st half and we win. that simple we have 2 to's left.

[Irish Redskin]

1:47 left. We can still win this.

It's 4:36am.

I still believe :)

[Goskins11]

i hate that we can't close games

[smoak]

This should be enough time for a professional offense.

Let's see what kind of offense shows up.

Sexy Time. :moon1:

[DaveKShape]

now's the time for kyle to show that his system works.

[jaylen]

oh no a flag. just down the f'ing ball Banks he's killed us all night with his wack returns.

[Lavar703]

This game will end on a fumble or an interception now. No way they block Ware

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Brown is scared of Ware.

[yossarian]

start off with a false start. wow.

[skinsfan36]

thought heyer was in oakland

[CNYSkinFan]

now this is the redskins team we remember so fondly

[jaylen]

wow we have morphed back into last season's Skins all in the course of a half damn.

penalty on Brown.

[DaveKShape]

that was exactly what we need there. exactly.

[Goskins11]

ware is gonna eat us alive. it's over. darn. well it was fun.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Hurry...hurry.

[jaylen]

Hurry up.

[cal_junior]

Lost three seconds there, Mike

[jaylen]

bad bad clock management Grossman has gotta be quicker with his transitions between plays.

[CNYSkinFan]

gaffney major mistake there...clear shot to get out of bounds and did not

[Goskins11]

come on skins!!!

[jaylen]

come on Kyle look up top to AA.

[DaveKShape]

FIRE KYLE AND CUT GROSSMAN IMMEDIATELY.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Terrible job losing this game.

[Dolla Bill]

And that's ballgame.

[Irish Redskin]

Damn it...

[jaylen]

and there goes Rex in a nutshell

[CNYSkinFan]

i hate you Rex Grossman...i really hate you

[Emmanouel8]

Freaking Grossman. What a complete idiot. Seriously.

[skinsfan36]

rex you blow.

[shally]

live and die with Rex

[Goskins11]

that's rex grossman for ya.

[Lavar703]

I can't take this Kyle Shanahan crap anymore. Go kick rocks Haslett you douche bag.

[yossarian]

god i hate this team. every time i write them off and resign myself to a crappy season they lure me in so I care again then pee on me with a game like this.

HEY REX! GET RID OF THE DAMN BALL ASSHAT!

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Gift wrapped to the Cowboys. They should have won by a good 10.

[Dolla Bill]

Sorry, I don't blame Rex for this loss. If you do, then obviously you don't know football.

Kyle Shanahan lost this game plain and simple.

[FunBunch5]

We deserved to lose. The Cowboys did everything they could to hand us that game and we couldn't score. The offense played like crap tonight.

[RedskinsDave]

We lost to a bad team, guys. Bad.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Well we knew Rexy would cost us a game and there it was. I wish this wasn't so damn predictable.
Ok he didn't cost us the game but certainly seals it.

[Goskins11]

god i hate this team. every time i write them off and resign myself to a crappy season they lure me in so I care again then pee on me with a game like this.

HEY REX! GET RID OF THE DAMN BALL ASSHAT!

i feel ya dude. that's where i was last year. your standards are too high. i just want to win 8. this team sucks. they are who we thought they were. I'm just disappointed that they couldn't shut gruden up. I think espn should be ashamed of themselves for basically being the homers for the cowboys. oh well. better luck next year.

[skinsfan36]

omg how difficult was it to play. give romo a tissue f him.i wish landry would run up and clobber him right now would be worth it imo

[Irish Redskin]

Good effort guys.

With a little more luck, we would've won here tonight.

We'll get another shot at them at Fed Ex.

Night folks. We didn't win, but it was worth staying up to see these players give their all.

HTTR!

[yossarian]

man. 3-0 with 2 division wins was gift wrapped for the skins and they couldn't take it. Cowboys fumble something like 5 times and lose 1 of them as all the rest bounce back to the player. Play calling is inconsistent and Bad Rex shows up at the worst time. Blech.

[skinsfan36]

Sorry, I don't blame Rex for this loss. If you do, then obviously you don't know football.

Kyle Shanahan lost this game plain and simple.

his second half playcalling was absolutely horrendous

[NCskinsfanatic]

I dont blame Rex, the D played good enough, the block FG and the failure to recover Romo's multiple botched snaps and fumbles are what did us in.

[Goskins11]

Sorry, I don't blame Rex for this loss. If you do, then obviously you don't know football.

Kyle Shanahan lost this game plain and simple.

i agree to a point but rex has to get rid of the ball there. he always crumbles when you need him most and that is why he's not a great qb.

[Lavar703]

Well we knew Rexy would cost us a game and there it was. I wish this wasn't so damn predictable.

The game was lost when Haslett decided to blitz on 3rd and 21. I have seen some coaches do some dumb shit but that takes the cake. He basically gave the game away with that all-out blitz. Why this man is a coach in the NFL is beyond me?

[CNYSkinFan]

rex you blow.
and apparently it is Kyle he blows

[Emmanouel8]

and there goes Rex in a nutshell FUCK.

What he said times infinity!!! Grossman u complete deuschbag wtf were you thinkin, that the big fat tub around your waste can outrun anything!! You suck!!

[jaylen]

Skins crapp3ed the bed gave them the damn game with terrible plays.

3rd and 21 1st down..... Rex lack of awareness seems like every game like this ends with a rex mistake. I swear he drives me crazy.

more bs

[skinsfan36]

Well we knew Rexy would cost us a game and there it was. I wish this wasn't so damn predictable.
Ok he didn't cost us the game but certainly seals it.

a game? probably about 4 or 5

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

stupid plays by grossman and the D letting dallas convert a 3rd and 21 killed us folks! still feel great about this team this year cause it's a HUGE improvement over last year's team!time to regroup and beat the rams going into the bye week!

[fpickering]

omg how difficult was it to play. give romo a tissue f him.i wish landry would run up and clobber him right now would be worth it imo

We lost the game on the 3rd and long play by the cowgirls. Simple as that.

[CNYSkinFan]

Sorry, I don't blame Rex for this loss. If you do, then obviously you don't know football.

Kyle Shanahan lost this game plain and simple.
i blame both

[jaylen]

The game was lost when Haslett decided to blitz on 3rd and 21. I have seen some coaches do some dumb shit but that takes the cake. He basically gave the game away with that all-out blitz. Why this man is a coach in the NFL is beyond me?

sadly I agree. all you gotta do is play the sticks give up a 5 yard pass close in and its 4th and 10 or more.

horrible coaching on both sides all game long.

[Skins4life]

Sorry, I don't blame Rex for this loss. If you do, then obviously you don't know football.

Kyle Shanahan lost this game plain and simple.

Agreed.
Blocked 25 yrd fg. 3rd and 21 and our d gave it up. What a joke that d hall ran his mouth and he was the one who gave up that 3rd down play. No reason to let that happen. I don't blame Rex for this one.

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

We lost to a bad team, guys. Bad.
Wake up call. We are not nearly as good as we thought. We lost to a bad and depleted team.

[Farmer Ted]

The game was lost when Haslett decided to blitz on 3rd and 21. I have seen some coaches do some dumb shit but that takes the cake. He basically gave the game away with that all-out blitz. Why this man is a coach in the NFL is beyond me?

Absolutely! That was the stupidest call I've ever seen.

[jaylen]

Sorry, I don't blame Rex for this loss. If you do, then obviously you don't know football.

Kyle Shanahan lost this game plain and simple.

he looked over his shoulder and still fumbled throw the damn ball away. its not that difficult.

but its rex and his MO to make a totally dumb mistake at the end of games.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

Sorry, I don't blame Rex for this loss. If you do, then obviously you don't know football.

Kyle Shanahan lost this game plain and simple.

Kyle was bad, but so was Rex. He did give the Cowboys 3 with that terrible INT.

He also didn't do much to distinguish himself tonight.

[colkurtz]

This game will be one of the reasons that the Redskins draft a QB with their #1 draft pick. Rex has no long ball. He has crappy mobility. He makes a couple throws that may or may not be INT. He is not the future for this team.

With the defenses of the NFL the QB must be able to move away from pressure.
Rex doesn't have that.

[Emmanouel8]

You punch Rex in the mouth and he crumbles. He was a disaster tonight plain and simple. My goodness how many times can he repeat the same mistakes. He tried to outrun real athletes on to occasions after he saw it coming from a mile away! Throw the ball away you deuschbag!

[FunBunch5]

Agreed.
Blocked 25 yrd fg. 3rd and 21 and our d gave it up. What a joke that d hall ran his mouth and he was the one who gave up that 3rd down play. No reason to let that happen. I don't blame Rex for this one.

I like D-Hall, but it is becoming to regular that he gives up a long bomb.

[jaylen]

Wake up call. We are not nearly as good as we thought. We lost to a bad and depleted team.

sadl this is something I think we all need to accept.

if they have Miles we are probably getting roasted.we need a bigger target in the redzone we don't win enough 1on1's out wide its why we struggle in the redzone.

we can't outscheme or win with our talent down there.

[Dolla Bill]

he looked over his shoulder and still fumbled throw the damn ball away. its not that difficult.

but its rex and his MO to make a totally dumb mistake at the end of games.

That's BS. Grossman didn't bobble the FG hold. Grossman didn't allow a 3rd and f'ing 21.

Did you not see the ENTIRE middle of the OL get blown up on that last play? He almost got sacked by his own guard and center, he was forced to roll out. Its easy to blame him because he lost the ball, but come on. Everyone hated Rex before this game is now wagging fingers telling everyone "I told you so."

I blame the coordinators plain and simple. Why do you go pass happy when you gashed their defense on runs during their touchdown drive? Why do you do an all out blitz on 3rd and 21.

Those are the people who lost this game.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

sadly I agree. all you gotta do is play the sticks give up a 5 yard pass close in and its 4th and 10 or more.

horrible coaching on both sides all game long.

I actually thought Haslett called a good game until when he got too predictable with the blitz on the last drive.

[FunBunch5]

Absolutely! That was the stupidest call I've ever seen.

Yep!

[yossarian]

blitzing all out on 3rd and 21 was a total brain fart. The blocked field goal was ridiculous. Those 2 plays probably hurt more than anything.

That being said, it just feels like Rex almost ALWAYS poops the bed in some new, stupid, painful way in big, end-of-game moments. There's a reason he was on the scrap heap in spite of going to a Super Bowl with the Bears.

[jaylen]

This game will be one of the reasons that the Redskins draft a QB with their #1 draft pick. Rex has no long ball. He has crappy mobility. He makes a couple throws that may or may not be INT. He is not the future for this team.

With the defenses of the NFL the QB must be able to move away from pressure.
Rex doesn't have that.

agreed his lack of deep ball and lack of pocket awareness is just a killer. we made our bed with Rex. This is the level of frustration we're gonna have to deal with all season long.

[Warpath23]

So sick of losing games like this. You just knew after settling for all those FG Dalas was going to find a away to win. Sick of D. Hall giving up big plays & playing lazy. 3rd & 21? Really? Wtf plus Kerrigan stopped and didn't rush allowing Romo more time. Rex is careless in the pocket as usual & it was just a matter of time before he turned it over. Kyle Shannahan remember Fred Davis? Good lord I hate these loses. F*ck Dallas all the time!!!

[CNYSkinFan]

i don't blame Rex solely...but every game this year late in the 2nd half he has had a turnover, and should have had two tonight if Dallas challenged.

His propensity for red zone and late game turnovers did not change, they were just masked by our wins

[Lavar703]

You punch Rex in the mouth and he crumbles. He was a disaster tonight plain and simple. My goodness how many times can he repeat the same mistakes. He tried to outrun real athletes on to occasions after he saw it coming from a mile away! Throw the ball away you deuschbag!

But we know this about him already and it was the choice of our staff to go with him or Beck as the starter and they botched it. We could have gone with Gabbert or chose Ryan Mallett later in the draft. Instead we chose to enter the season with quite possibly the most pathetic QB battle in league history. I like what Rex has done the first two weeks but he is Rex and this is what you get from him.

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Changes I'd like to see:

1.)I want to see what Beck can do. At least he can move.

2.)Time to incorporate Hankerson into the passing game.

3.)Start Helu

[NCskinsfanatic]

That's BS. Grossman didn't bobble the FG hold. Grossman didn't allow a 3rd and f'ing 21.

Did you not see the ENTIRE middle of the OL get blown up on that last play? He almost got sacked by his own guard and center, he was forced to roll out.

Why do you go pass happy when you gashed their defense on runs during their touchdown drive? Why do you do an all out blitz on 3rd and 21.

Those are the people who lost this game.

I agree 100 % with the bolded part but imo Romo and his O made more mistakes, botched snaps and fumbles that we failed to recover along with that 3rd and 21 and the blocked FG lost us this game. Grossman made a horrible throw that cost us 3, the sack fumble wasnt his fault and the above mentioned items outweigh those two mistakes imo.

[SkinsfaninNJ]

But we know this about him already and it was the choice of our staff to go with him or Beck as the starter and they botched it. We could have gone with Gabbert or chose Ryan Mallett later in the draft. Instead we chose to enter the season with quite possibly the most pathetic QB battle in league history. I like what Rex has done the first two weeks but he is Rex and this is what you get from him.

While I wouldn't mind having another option at QB, I'm glad they didn't draft a guy just to do so. You draft a QB if you believe in him. Clearly Shanahan did not believe in the guys who were available.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kerrigan has a better career then both of those guys.

[skinsfan36]

i don't blame Rex solely...but every game this year late in the 2nd half he has had a turnover, and should have had two tonight if Dallas challenged.

His propensity for red zone and late game turnovers did not change, they were just masked by our wins

agreed. he will have to face alot of blitzs next week against the rams who are hungry and desperate for a win

[jaylen]

That's BS. Grossman didn't bobble the FG hold. Grossman didn't allow a 3rd and f'ing 21.

Did you not see the ENTIRE middle of the OL get blown up on that last play? He almost got sacked by his own guard and center, he was forced to roll out.

Those are the people who lost this game.

get outta herwe with this load of crap everyone has to do their job. The qb throws the gift int that causes a fg , then his total atypical lack of aweareness in the fumble cost us the end of the game.

I wouldn't lay it all on rex but the way it ended is on him. No hard counts terrible deep ball attempts.

His lack of pocket awareness has been a big problem his whole career.

you can't sit here and then act like its irrelevant when he screws up as if its everyone elses fault its not all on him but he's a damn big part of it.

[ARParr]

Although we've made improvements, tonight's game was just like deja vu all over again for me. Losing games like that has just become old hat.

Depressing, yet sadly predictable. Sorry, but I really didn't expect this team to win tonight. I pretty much called it at work. "Dallas wins, and it's decided by 3 points or less."

Same old, same old...

[Toadslayer]

I dont care what they say we are way the better team

[Lavar703]

While I wouldn't mind having another option at QB, I'm glad they didn't draft a guy just to do so. You draft a QB if you believe in him. Clearly Shanahan did not believe in the guys who were available.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kerrigan has a better career then both of those guys.

We had a shot at Mallett late and instead took Hankerson, whom we never play. The sad thing is I like Rex, I think he's a tough guy but he just makes terrible decisions at the most inopportune times. I don't even care to see Beck because he's horrible. We may as well let Rex play the season out and get our QB in the draft.

[Toadslayer]

F. THAT IT WILL COME TRUST ME.

[Dolla Bill]

You're making it sound like its all Grossman. There's plenty of blame to go around. I'm not making excuses for him, but to be blind to the entire lack of execution up and down the roster was evident.

The OL sucked ass in the 2nd half. Playcalling on both sides was crap. Grossman not "making plays" when he's called on.

My real issue is, where was Fred Davis?

[Death_Venom]

Did Armstrong even see the field tonite? I may have missed it but I don't recall seeing him out there all nite....

[skinsfan36]

wow watching rex in his pc he is awful at explaining anything.no wonder he is so jittery with the football

[jaylen]

Okay AA hurt his hammy makes sense defense rolled up their coverage and said we dare you to throw deep.

we either develop a deep ball game or we're dead in the water as far as defenses playing press and blitzing us back into the middle ages.

[Lavar703]

holy shit I dont care what they say we are way the better team

How do you figure? They made mistake after mistake and still beat us. Kyle Shanahan cannot stop playing fantasy football when we need to run some damn time off the clock.

[ARParr]

Indeed. Plenty of blame to go around, on both sides of the ball, during both halves.

Just because Grossman made one of the LAST mistakes doesn't mean that it was his mistake alone that cost this team the game. In every case like this, it's the sum total of all the errors and missed opportunities. Sorry guys, but this was truly a team loss. Both players and coaches.

We've got a long way to go.

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

Grossman was'nt the only reason by a damn long ways we lost tonight.that 3rd and 21 convert by dallas and the extra 15 yards hall gave them was pretty damn huge too! we'll see what type of team we have sunday against
the rams.that will be a sign of real maturity by the skins if they can play well,execute,learn,and adjust better in the red zone,and defense.

[OCSKINSFAN]

Rex certainly had a bad game and his weaknesses were clearly exposed. He is not the answer even for one year. That said, this was a team loss to a team playing with a large number of backups (some playing out of position), an injured qb who didn't practice, a center who made 4 bad snaps, and injured running back, essentially no wide receivers, and no help from the referees who made some bad calls (or missed them). Simplly inexcusable to lose this game and does not look good for the following games.

[skinsfan36]

Okay AA hurt his hammy makes sense defense rolled up their coverage and said we dare you to throw deep.

we either develop a deep ball game or we're dead in the water as far as defenses playing press and blitzing us back into the middle ages.

if he is out it is time to play hankerson

The game was lost when Haslett decided to blitz on 3rd and 21. I have seen some coaches do some dumb shit but that takes the cake. He basically gave the game away with that all-out blitz. Why this man is a coach in the NFL is beyond me?

I wouldn't have called a blitz either, however if he didn't call it & they completed the pass, he would've gotten criticized for playing prevent D.

It sucked to lose this effiing game!

if he is out it is time to play hankerson

They will play Stallworth long before Hank sees the field.

He didn't have to play prevent defense though, he could have sent Kerrigan and dropped back into normal coverage. There is no excuse to all-out blitz on 3rd and 21, horrible decision.

but hankerson has more speed at this point of stallworths career but if its kyles call he will probably play stallworth

[colkurtz]

agreed his lack of deep ball and lack of pocket awareness is just a killer. we made our bed with Rex. This is the level of frustration we're gonna have to deal with all season long.

If we have a good season (above .500) we'll see Rex until the end of the season.
If we start going downhill, then we'll see Beck at least for the last 3-5 games.

I just can't wait until we finally get a mobile QB, who can get us a TD or two on a long pass. Rex is worthless at anything over 30 yds.

especially when you are getting pressure with 5 guys!

The Running Game was for *hit tonight as it was last week! that effected the game more than grossman's mistakes did! also that blocked fg when rocca dropped the ball was the difference in the game!

agreed

I think we are a .500 team. Its not just because of rex but also because we lack the ability out Wide to make explosive plays 1on1.

Moss is still the only guy who wins man up. Unless we develop Hankerson how are we gonna get big plays throwing the ball deep without scheme.

Scheme can only take you so far someone has to start winning their match ups. I hought AA was that guy but he has regressed this season.

But Rex just has no deep ball no arm. His lack of awareness and moibility is a bad problem.

he must be in shanny's $**t house cause he's been in active all 3 games this season! hope he is'nt another devon thomas/malcolm kelly!

+1. I still think we can go maybe to 9-7 but we're probably a .500 team.

Moss is still our best WR. Gaffney is ok. Surprised at how little we're getting from Austin and Armstrong. I don't care what they're saying - Cooley is not 100%. Davis should be in more.

I didn't realize how much Rex was staring down his WR. In the NFL, you've got to have a mobile QB who can occasionally get you a first down with their feet. Who can make a DL miss once in awhile. Who can hit a wide open WR 30-40 yds down the field. Our starting QB for next season is NOT on the team now.

me and you both. He better get his act together we need him to pan out.

+1 agreed again. confused as to why Davis wasn't a bigger part of the game plan tonight. we went to Cooley who is clearly still not right far too much to night.

Rex just isn't the answer its not a newsflash or anything he doesn't have the physical tools to make things happen and with the sorta team we have thats what we need outta the position we aren't good enough to have a game manager. and he doesn't have enoug IQ to avoid the mistakes.

I still prefer Beck but I'm not clamoring for him he might not be much better.

agreed our qb of the future isn't on our team.

That's exactly the word I was thinking of for Rex - a "Game Manager". He's never going to bring you back from 21 points behind. He's always going to have at least one INT or fumble a game. Against a good pass rushing team he's going to take at least a couple sacks. He's a journeyman QB who we'll have to suffer with for this season.

But when we do draft our QB with our #1 pick, I want that guy to start from game one. Rex can hold his clip board.....

until someone comes up behind him and he drops it

and game managers dont turn the ball over like he does.7 games with skins 12 tds and 13 turnovers

I'd actually just prefer Rex is gone if we draft a qb 1st to me Kyle is too much of a Rex guy to trust that he won't be in the ear of the coach saying the rook ain't ready yet.

[charleesdad]

I just see Rex killing us anytime things get tight late. Aside from not getting rid of the ball on the last play, before that he threw at least 2 terrible balls that should have been picked even when he wasnt under pressure. Did the same thing against the Giants once they took the lead but got lucky there. He clearly can't throw a deep ball and that will kill us all year long.

I know we gave up the 3rd and 21 play but the D looked pretty good until late in the 4th. They definitely seemed winded... more of a reason to establish an effective run game to give the D a breather once in a while.

Yeah, but at least the rookie can throw the ball 40 yards! He doesn't fumble 1 out of every 3 sacks. LOL. Kyle to Rex next year, "Shutup and hold that clipboard. And stop drooling all over me. The kid's got game!"
