OT: Washington Redskins 2018 Season V0l. 2: 1-1 = Half empty... :(

[Beef Invictus]

Clay needs to just hit lower. Adapt, dude.

Edit: OK if it's actually for landing on the QB I really hate that rule.

To an extent yeah.... But at this point how do you hit the QB? You cannot put your body weight on top of him, how do you consistently avoid doing that when tackling? The league needs to make some changes.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yep, and it is. That's a bad rule.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Chances the Redskins win this game?

 

[Corby78]

2 hand touch

Yeah, when I posted it I thought it was because he had his helmet too high, the "you landed on a guy you hit" rule is nonsense.

 

[Cush]

Not sure how that was a penalty, but Payne slamming Rodgers wasn't

 

[g00n]

Can't touch the QBs head.
Can't grab the shoulders without risking horsecollar.
Can't lead in the chest with your helmet.
Can't drive through the QB or land on him even if you shoulder tackle.
Can't spin him to the ground if you try to not land on him.
Can't go near his knees.

What's left to tackle?

 

[Beef Invictus]

That's a comical drop, Rodgers' skin must be bleeding

I'd say you wrap up around the waist but if you fall on the guy too much, screw you

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm trying to think of a foolproof way to hit a QB and the best I can think of is you wrap up around the waist and drag them down onto you as your velocity takes you past. Except...that doesn't work because with the speed these guys go, they'd be suplexing heads onto the turf.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Defense is tired and being picked apart.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm a Swearinger guy

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Chances the Redskins win this game?

50/50 at this point. Sam Bradford is not playing QB unfortunately.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh no Stroman

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Surprised GB didn’t go for it there. Skins can’t stop them.

 

[Corby78]

Getting enough stops need some first downs to kill the clock

 

[robertmac43]

What a play there!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I have loathed Jay's playcalling this half. Every 1st down is a predictable run between the tackles.

Randall Cobb has had a brutal game, thankfully.

 

[Corby78]

I don’t think even the redskins can screw this up

 

[Devil Dancer]

AP has outperformed my expectations by a mile.

 

[robertmac43]

What a game all round. The Packers definitely shot themselves in the foot a couple of times, but we were overall the better team today.

 

[John Price]

Great win especially when they exerted themselves early and set the pace. They need to come out fast and aggressive more often. Gruden himself has said that he is being too conservative and he needs to open up. A few plays in, deep ball, Richardson, TD, sets the tone. Keep the momentum going and beat New Orleans.

 

[John Price]

Love keeping NBCSW in the background, their postgame shows were great during the Caps playoff run. They broadcasting now live from FedEx and D-Hall is just conducting interviews with current players from the party deck
