OT: Washington Redskins 2018 Season Vol. 3: Half-full (6-3)

[twabby]

The defense and Peterson showed up to play today. Unfortunate that the passing game stinks but oh well

 

[twabby]

Why did he run out of bounds...

I’ve had enough of Alex Smith

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

The 34 year old QB runs out of bounds short of the 1st down. Veteran play.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Gruden + Smith...a combo made for chokes.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

31 gives up a 1st down then burns a valuable time out.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

They beat Dallas. Right now that’s all that matters.

 

[Cush]

Got lucky

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Woooooooooooow.......stunned we won. Speechless

 

[troyerlaw]

They beat Dallas. Right now that’s all that matters.

Amen

 

[Hivemind]

Still can't believe they wont because of a penalty on the long snapper

That’s going deeeeeeeep in the “one time” well.....jesus...

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

They won and that's awesome.

The passing game is atrocious and that stinks.

 

[John Price]

These games are way closer than they should be. In the 2nd half they were in the red zone twice. They left with field goals. If they score TD's it's a blowout.

Lets not forget that they won without Crowder, thompson and Richardson today and without thompson/crowder last week

This is a good point but that doesn’t excuse Smith for some really poor throws when players did get open and some other baffling decisions.

oh I agree, im just saying that if they werent throwing brian quick and micheal floyd out there maybe it wouldnt have been as close but then again who knows

Smith will likely improve as he settles in and the WRs stabilize. We can't be sure the zombies we have at WR are all running the routes they should be, which would cause hesitation by the QB.

They are in win-now mode, though. Smith needs to tighten up quickly.

 

[Capsman]

This game was not by any stretch of the imagination a shining light on Gruden. Not using a time out late in the first half was egregious but his play calling left much to be desired. If you don’t trust your pass protection then there has to be some element of surprise, yet we were extremely predictable. Alex Smith has cemented his reputation as a game manager.

 

[robertmac43]

I'll take the win. I'm going to give Smith the benefit of the doubt today; no Richardson, CT, or Crowder is always going to hurt the passing game. That being said i found Smith was over throwing receivers more today. I was also hoping Doctson would step up more with the lack of other receivers and he was only okay .

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Thank God the Skins don’t have to play KC.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Late penalty on the Cowboys did indeed look like a bogus call. Made all the difference.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

How about some love for AP? Anyone still questioning the signing lol?

 

[Ridley Simon]

4-2. With a 1-5 (6) team coming up. 2 game lead in loss column in division.

Whelp?

The defense is really encouraging. Who would have thought they'd be this strong this quickly?

You get the sense the Redskins could turn into something pretty decent if the cards play out favorably. That DL is young and getting better and better every week. You would hope that the offense starts to figure it out before they run AP into the ground. They're not a very good team on offense right now but they're still 4-2 and they're playing in a terd of a division, so I think the directional arrow is trending up and to the right.

Sanders and Thomas are rumored to be available for trade in Denver. Could use one of them, imo.
