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

[Corby78]

Thrilling first half

 

[twabby]

Most boring game I’ve ever been to. At least the weather is nice!

 

[twabby]

It’s sad because, all things considered, I think the OL is doing very good in pass protection but they simply are not able to get downfield passes because of Smith and some big drops.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

That's a terrible holding penalty. That happens on every down.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Benching AP and playing Chubb.

Yes, with that murderer's row, I'm in 1st place. lol

May swap in Hilton for Cooper, not sure. Feel like Hilton has been a decoy since the injury.

Chubb, eh?

 

[g00n]

Playing Chubb instead of AP this week turned out to be a damn good move.

Meanwhile, the Browns are working over the Falcons, who recently made the Skins look like Pop Warner.

 

[Capsman]

It’s Smith. He’s getting time out there. The playcalling is also pretty bad. AP has had some holes and he bounced for negative yards. All that equals to this looking like a loss and it’s a shame because the defense has held them to no points thus far. The redskins can’t even sustain drives.

The defense gives no short field and has been shredded yardage wise. Extremely vanilla, like he has HOF’ers up and down the lineup.

I already know Smith sucks and the talent on offense is marginal. But defensively they should be better than they are with a sophisticated scheme.

 

[Capathetic]

Smith looking good on this drive except for that sack he took on 2nd and 1. Nice poise on the third down throw to make up for it.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

A touchdown - holy shit! Now let's see if the defense goes into their Prevent (the win) scheme.

 

[twabby]

Big TD. HTTR chant starting in the stadium.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Garbage holding penalty screwed the Redskins there. Refs owe Washington big time for that abomination.

 

[Capathetic]

Hopefully the refs give them a nice holding makeup call

 

[twabby]

LMAO that was a hell of a forced fumble

 

[Capathetic]

Lol. Look we heard the formula all week about the turnovers. I didn’t actually believe it would happen however lol.

 

[twabby]

Smith misses a wide open Vernon Davis for a TD

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Yo, that throw was atrocious by Smith. Vernon couldn't have been any more wide open for a walk-in TD. Just horrendous.

 

[Capsman]

In true Alex Smith fashion he misses the wide open receiver. I guess he is what he is, a game manager who won’t necessarily lose you games if you are a good team.

 

[Capathetic]

Maybe we will get some sort of accuracy in the passing game from Santa this year. He’s good for a wide open missed td per week. He needs to start clicking on those because look at the sideline reaction. We can’t have them losing faith in the field general or manager.

 

[Cush]

Tampa is terrible

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Credit where it's due: they are 6-3. It's been ugly at times but they're 6-3. Really impressive win today coming off a total ass kicking last week and starting a makeshift offensive line. You know it had to have been demoralizing to lose Scherff, Lavaman, and Richardson all in the same week but they got the job done. Go Dallas?

 

[g00n]

Always great when you lose 3 guys right after the trade deadline. No idea why they don't move it to the week before Thanksgiving to avoid family disruptions.

Spirits are low after a bad loss. How many thought they were a 3 or 4 win team after the Saints made them look ridiculous on national television? When just a week before they stomped the Packers? They followed up the Saints loss with a win vs the Panthers so, who knows?

Next 4:

@ Tampa Bay: Win. Tampa is a bad team with a bad defense. The only reason they've even had a chance is late-game Fitzmagic when the other team has relaxed. If it's a close game the Skins have the better veteran squad.
vs Houston: Loss. Just too much in Houston's favor unless Watson is hurt again.
@ Dallas: Loss. A 4:30pm game on Thanksgiving, in Dallas. I can already hear Troy Aikman waxing Dallastalgic and Joe Buck emoting about "E-ZEEK-iel Elliot" every 30 seconds.
@ Eagles: Loss. Maybe a bad one. But you never know, this could be the one that shocks the league.

1-3 in this stretch with an outside chance at 2-2

One down. Now for the bad news...

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Yes go Dallas. We need them and the Eagles to beat each other up. We have to figure a way to win the Div with 2L to the Eagles

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I’ll take it. They’re not beating anyone good in a game that matters, but this is better than starting shitty.

I’ll take it. #halffull

 

[Capsman]

Boy if this is our blueprint for success , little to no pass rush pressure and depend on bond headed offensive plays from the opponent, this season won’t end well. Zero pass rush pressure, the last sack nonwithstanding. Doesn’t work so well against capable QBs and receivers like Atlanta and New Orleans. 501 yards. Ouch.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

It should be enough to beat Dallas, New York, the Jags and Titans.
If we take 3/4 of those games vs bad QBs we finish no worst then 9-7
