Cmon defense

we need a stop

I got a million dollar question

How do you stop Ware?

by Burt D @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:21 PM CST reply actions  

well

even on that catch, you see reeves with excellent coverage on a speedy moss

by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:21 PM CST reply actions  

terrible

wade, he didn't violate his pledge!!!

nice job defense

not great series but holding them to three is good

by Deke on Nov 18, 2007 5:26 PM CST reply actions  

so far washingtons offense has outplayed ours!

But we need to dominate the 4th quarter!

C'mon Cowboys!

That is what is so surprising

and worrying.

We have to step it up a level right now. 5-8 minute drive culminating in a TD is what we need.

question

is tank johnson playing?  are any of our defensive tackles playing?  haven't heard anybody mentioned

by ab03 @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:29 PM CST reply actions  

That was a good series by the D

Reeves had good coverage but Moss just had an absolutely incredible catch.  Then a bogus call on Ware followed by good coverage and QB pressure.

You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small.

Not really

he needs the Oline to block the WRs to get open and catch the ball.

Duh.

by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Nov 18, 2007 5:36 PM CST up reply actions  

and if he hadn't been smart

and threw the ball away when there was nothing there to live and have another play, then he wouldn't of hit Hurd, or witten or T.O for a TD.

that might be the case, but this combination isn't exactly working either.  they both need to play better but next year, they need to get rid of jones, maybe give mb3 a modest raise to keep him, and then get draft a feature back.

Thanks goodness for the Romo-Owens connection

Witten definitely helped with 8 for 67, and Hurd and Crayton had two catches each, but otherwise it was all T.O. with 8/173/4 (half his catches were for TDs), without much in the way of a running game or a defense.

by Or Moyal on Nov 18, 2007 6:45 PM CST reply actions  

This Was Washington's Playoff Game

And I wasn't that surprised it was close...I'm just glad we won it.

The Redskins are basically out of the division race now, with a 1-3 record, and four games behind us with only six to play.  Teams with their back to the wall, against their biggest rival, usually bring everything they have.  As bad as we played, we still hung on to win.

A good QB projection system predicted very good things for Jason Campbell, and while his stats were mediocre until the last couple of games, I think we're seeing now why he was so highly regarded.  He has a very strong arm, a quick release, mobility in the pocket and doesn't seem to get rattled.  I can only hope when we face him again on the final week the game doesn't mean anything.

Whew, and after the Jets beat Pittsburgh, it doesn't look like Thanksgiving is getting any easier.
