ES Coverage & Interactive Game Day Thread: 2012 Redskins vs Eagles (Final)

[Duckus]

After the last 3 weeks if you are not smiling after that half you are just a miserable ass.

This is the best we have played in weeks. Not perfect, but not this **** we have seen for weeks. Smile. Enjoy it for now, it might not last.

Taco Bell, Corona and a decent first half. All is right with the world.*

Unfortunately, we all know no lead is safe with this team. Not saying they'll blow it, but it's hard to be excited when the offense looks quite shaky and the defense is, well, the defense.

[skins4eva]

No problem going conservative and getting the 3 there. We get ball after the half.

Agreed. Thought that was the smart decision.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Tough watch from two bad teams.

But at least our bad is not quite as bad as their bad thus far.

Hail.

[RandyHolt]

I mean seriously. Let the man throw in the redzone.

We were playing with free money! Sure you take a FG at minimum, but you also should take a shot into the endzone, at minimum.

Maybe he thought 3 would scramble and milk the clock. Well call a damn fade.

Shanahan when in doubt plays not to lose.

[Wildbunny]

Our running game isn't that great today, still. We're leading by 2 scores, and have the upcoming ball... So, in a division game, that's a good thing.

Good 1st half I'll take it

[VABlitz]

So do you guys think this is on RGIII, or the receivers, or both? I wish I could see what is happening. I can't tell if RGIII is just not seeing or anticipating open receivers or they're not getting open.

I believe it was on the line not giving RG3 time to look downfield

[Devastator]

Our oline cannot stop a 4 man rush, the pocket is collapsing on every play and RGIII has no time.

[mboyd784]

Get a couple turnovers.
Try a couple deep balls.
Pound the rock.
Get the win.

I belive it was on the line not giving RG3 time to look downfield

I think it's mostly the line, but I do feel that a part of it is RGIII holding the ball too long on some plays as well. It takes times for rookie QB's to realize what is open and what is covered in the NFL. What was a covered WR at Baylor is wide open in the NFL. It's an adjustment and I think he's doing great, but there is still room to grow.,

Agreed. It's free points. Take them and go make some halftime adjustments.

We're not that bad. We're young and inconsistent.

[mikeDinNYC]

a fine first half... play calling a bit weak, a few bad tackles, but our players are into it.
