Again, we all knew this going into the offseason and SM failed to address it. Relying on an oft injured 7th round pick and an UDRFA is not a good move. This game is a result of the failures this offseason, make no mistake about it.

Don't like seeing a team out physical us. Scot won't put up with that.

It was not directed solely at ehb, it was in part though. The 70% comment was stupid. Clearly John Gruden has explained all night that the Steelers have been forcing the Redskins to move in small chunks. But instead it was 70% completions doesn't matter if they are all 5 yards. Cousins has not played well tonight but he hasn't been terrible either. It has been a team wide breakdown.

You don't have to use words like obtuse on me, you can call me a Richard. :pound:

Lol well then your a dick. But I probably am too so we'll call it even. :suds:

The 70% was more related to it being praised as some amazing feat. In the context of this offense it's not. When I was complaining about the depth of the passes I meant it as criticism of the offense as much as kirk. The next drive kirk made back to back great downfield throws. Exactly what I wanted from him and the offense. As for playing ok tonight I'd agree - some good some bad. Problem is when people get pissed that I call Kirk's play ok as though I'm personally attacking their first born child.

We are often biased by our team loyalty....you as an outside observer and Philly fan, if you don't mind, share your observations, thanks!

Tackling looks like an issue. Breeland getting picked on.

On the other side of the ball, it seems the Steelers have shown a pretty simple blueprint to contain the Skins offense. Kirk Cousins can't beat zone defense. He lacks a strong arm and is not very good at hitting those plays in the seams.

Pittsburg is showing us why being able to run is important. Dean, get it now?

We have ran very little 3-4.

We must be watching different games because I have mostly seen 3-4. Regardless, the patchwork DLine made up of journeymen and players past their prime was never going to work. We all knew this but again, SM didn't think it was an issue.

OK, but can we agree that when that happens our DC must adjust and make the switch?

Yes I agree but I can't see the entire field. My guess is when we are in zone Ben is playing it one way and when he reads man he is keying on Brown vs. Breeland. I could just as easily be wrong. Ben is a smart old QB and he knows how to take advantage of matchups.

Thanks, can't disagree on any point you've made.

How in the heck can a RB literally walk through our DLine like that? Seriously, Williams trips and he is already to the ILBs.

Biggest worry IMO is that once again this team looks totally unprepared with lack of discipline, bad substitutions and no adjustment. It's not the first time it happens under Gruden.

ehb we can both be dicks. I always reserve the right to not agree. It wasn't directed solely at you and as hard as I have been on Breeland it isn't on him. Team loss man. Only guy for sure we can say had a good game is Hopkins.

Things that worried me coming into this season:

1. Lack of a running game.
2. The DLine (talent and ability to stop the run)
3. Our interior OLine.

Should I just go ahead and apply for the GM position...LOL.
