In other news, Tyler Palko is maybe the worst player in the NFL. -

I believe BB needs to get over his aversion to playing RBs younger than 35. -

Posted by shenaniganIt's just that sitting Price out for a whole year was so successful, that he's doing the same with Ridley and Vereen. -

In Response to Re: Redskins vs Patriots Game Thread:In Response to Re: Redskins vs Patriots Game Thread : Welker was a defenseless reciever who was standing upright at the time of the hit, Tom took a late slide and Fletcher broke down to make the hit. Aboslutely nothing dirty or unfair about that, his forearm did not even make contact with Tom's helmet. The two plays are oil and water, not even remotely related. And Clark launched himself, on this play the LB just broke down and went to hit TB12. Sorry I don't let being a homer get in the way of actual football.

So - your assessment of the Personal Foul against the Pats that negated the INT then? -

The defense looked bad - the 'Skins offense was dictating the game to our defense - not the other way around. Gotta tighten up and start playing how they were on the first few drives. The terrible call against Carter doesn't help either, as it gave the 'Skins 3 points, and took away an INT from McCourty, which may have gone a long way towards helping his confidence.The offense was erratic, and it started with Brady. He was on-and-off all of the first half. The offensive line has been spotty as well.Red-zone offense has to improve. We left 8 points on the field, and should be up 28-20 right now. Hernandez with the drop, and a miscommunication between Brady and Gronk. Gotta get it fixed.Hoping we can come out and have a solid drive to start the 2nd half, and hopefully get back on track.All I care about is a win. The overall play of the team is concerning, but a win is a win, and once we get into the playoffs, anything can happen. -

That McCourty penalty on 3rd/18 might decide the game as the Pats might have put Washington away with another score at that time -

What? that was a HORRIBLE call as well.....I clearly stated earlier, they were both brutal calls. My only point was that one bad call does not create a mortgage for a future "help" penalty, just because it aids your team. that's not pro football as far as I am concerned. -

The offense is a little off, but I'm surprised by the hate. Washington has the 8th best defense in the NFL. They aren't playing chumps out there.No turnovers. 13 points. Not bad at all for being "off."The defense is helpless. -

In Response to Re: Redskins vs Patriots Game Thread:Sorry guys, you don't "help" teams out because you missed a call earlier in the game. Is that seriously how you want refs to act on their discretion? Oh wait, only when it helps the Pats gain yardage. The refs have blown some calls, if you want to make that the excuse for drops, missed blocks, and poor passes, be my guest.

Once a QB gives himself up in a foot first slide you can't hit them unless you are already in the process. Brady started the slide before he left his feet to make the tackle. The explanation was BS but the call was right. -

Posted by kansaspatriot
With Washington's record, i.e. nothing to lose, if I were BB I'd be mindful of a possible on-side kick to start the half. This game appears to be taking the shape of the "last team with the ball" will win it. -

thank you for that kick off - did not tempt us to bring the ball back !! -

unfortunately, make-up calls are present in sports, however if the bad calls werent made in the first place, there would be no need for make-up calls...! -

he hooked late, you can't just slide willy nilly when you feel like it to get flags. Not buying it guys, that call was garbage. So was the one on Andre. -

Posted by shenaniganhe needs to get over a lot of things. like letting someone else draft, hiring real offensive and defensive coordinators.it will never happen but they need a gm and let bb just coach the team. -

Well if you aren't going to run it at least they mixed in a screen. That's similar to a run. But, seriously the lack of balance on the O today is killing me -
