Timeouts anybody!!! They make a difference in the end.

RGIII makes a difference in the beginning, middle and end.

Thanks a lot for even more grey hairs in my beard, jerks.

2-11 on third down. No good.

Good time management at the end
Good to have Garcon back
Good to have 2 Rookies playing like pros

The not-so-good:
2nd half was stagnant
Our kicker is iffy.........Cundiffy

This right here is the whole story. Everything else evens out, even Cun-Lip's epic terribleness.

I think RG3 is even better than Mark Brunell. (Sorry, TRO!)

Welch - Sorry I was too involved in watching the game at the end to sing along with you. I was thanking my good luck charm. The wife actually came jup to watch the end of the game. HTTR!

Grant Paulsen‏@granthpaulsen

Robert Griffin III had to call "about half" of the plays on Washington's game-winning two-minute march because his headset went out.

No wonder why the two minute drill worked!!!!

+1

I am having so much fun watching this team in both wins and losses so far, because watching a real quarterback at work is fun.

The legend started tonight: his first successful 2-minute drill. Go, RGIII, go!

It should now be three weeks into the legend, but Shanny took the ball out of his hands with a 62 yarder and an onside kick.

Were is GANO?

Cundiff is what he is. A guy that only makes 3 out of 4 kicks and has no hope over 50!

Cundiff tried to miss the last one too! You can't normally change a game on one guy, but had they lost that one it would have been all on Cundiff!

Offense looked amazing 1st half, anemic the 2nd half, and our kicker went 1-4 for the win...we got a lucky win guys...at this point I'll take it though....

How is that lucky? We dominated most of the game, and should have been up by 9 more. We won because we were the better team, period.

Man why does every game have to be darn near a heart attack moment? Geez!
Anyhow always am grateful for a win. RG3 has the stuff! Who decided to sign the kicker who missed a kick in the last seconds of a playoff game to go the Superbowl?
Redemption song for Cundiff? Maybe? Byner had a second chance with the Skins maybe Cundiff gets to his swan song with us?
Anyhow improvement in defense but still some work to do. Oh yeah GG Skins! Woooooo!

Yeah, but Byner was a very good RB before "the fumble" Cundiff was a below average kicker before he shanked that koch in the AFC championship game and he still is. Sure he had one PB season (must have been a down year fire AFC kickers because he only made 89% of his kicks) but he also had 2.5 unemployed seasons.

He is not a good kicker, he isn't even an average kicker.

He didn't cost us a game Sunday (easily could have), but he WILL cost us a couple later in the season, if he remains our kicker.

We should have been up by more than nine. Montgomery killed one drive with a ridiculous clip and Garcon killed another with unsportsmanlike conduct. This unsportsmanlike crap has got to stop. I count three in four games, with one of them costing us a tie and probably the game, and the other the game. We're lucky this one didn't cost us the game. Here's a list of our idiots: Morgan, Kyle, and Garcon. We could be undefeated.

What should've been and what was aren't the same thing...and dominating for a half isn't most of the game...and the kicker could've just as easily missed the last one like he did the previous 3...they got lucky...

If by "they," you mean Tampa, I agree. I just don't see how you're saying Cundiff not missing a fourth straight FG, is getting lucky.

SkinsJock · Post by **SkinsJock** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 8:53 am

Cundiff is not a great kicker but he's showing that he's better than Gano

I agree with JSPB - the Redskins should have won this game

and, guess what ...

we did

each week we're seeing clearly better teams find a way to lose and conversely some teams get up for games against others

this is the NFL - we should have won and we found a way to get that done

our kicker might be a bit of a worry but our defense is a MAJOR concern

Good one! Got a stand-up routine starter with that one.

Anyway, not so sure about the good time management at the end. Griff was pretty good but right at the end when we spiked it almost looked like Shanny thought we'd called timeout the way he was chatting with Griff while the play clock ticked. Then we frantically rushed out and Licht false started. Then we almost didn't call timeout after the next play - it was as if Shanny thought we had used it already.

Shanny looks confused late - almost like Gibbs II.

So glad we won. That kick would not have been good if the goal posts were any farther back.

Cundiff is horrible and should be cut this week. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs their head examined. Its not even the misses from 31 and 41 that I'm talking, although they were terrible. If anyone saw the 55 yarder, he was short by about 10 yards as it landed only half way into the end zone. I'm sorry, but that is unacceptable in todays game, where you see these younger kickers routinely blasting thru FGs from well beyond 50. If you're not going to make anything past 50 than you better be nearly perfecet from anything under 50, and I mean like 90-95%, and as we found out yesterday, that won't be the case with Cundiff. Normally I am more patient with players, but we need to get rid of him ASAP!!

emoses14 · Post by **emoses14** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 10:37 am

I had not seen this addresses elsewhere, but Trent Williams deserves extra special kudos for the job he did yesterday, period, but particularly in light of the fact that as of Thursday he looked like a dead man walking.

1. On Thursday I watched Trent Williams limp to his car and thought, “No way.” It wasn’t like he was moving a whole lot better the next day. During a mini-scrum in front of his locker on Friday, it was pointed out to Williams that he was still having a hard time moving around and then was asked how much his bruised knee was bothering him. He replied, “It’s not bad.” Then he flashed a big smile, as if he was concealing a whole lot from us. But Williams clearly takes his captain role seriously and that’s why he wanted to play. A few guys won major points in that locker room for their performance today; Williams is at the top of the list.

2. He actually played well. Very well, all things considered. Or even not considered. There were some missed blocks in which it was clear he couldn’t move as well as he wanted, especially in the open field against a defensive back. Williams had a hard time reacting on one such play and his man made the tackle. Clearly he wasn’t himself. And yet: no sacks allowed by him and plenty of holes opened. And he still showed enough athleticism to make a difference (like he did on a pass back to Fred Davis in which a zone read fake caused the linebacker to hesitate, allowing Williams to seal the outside). Williams had a key block on Alfred Morris’ 39-yard touchdown run too. After missing the last four games last season because of the drug suspension it’s surprising Williams would be elected a captain. After Sunday, it’s not surprising at all.

I firmly believe that we have our next great LT.
