why would you run that play instead of kicking the FG? either take a shot at the endzone or take the 3. A run gives you nothing, other than a chance to fumble the ball away.

He should have throw it well away, but I like the fact that he kept the ball alive and didn't try to force anything downfield and risk a pick in the EZ.

Thanks for the 3, McCoy.

Yep, take the FG here, RGIII tries to do to much at times. Rookie mistake trying to throw that all the way across the field.

He's too busy worrying about what his BFF Osi is doing right now

Its the smart play after Griffin tried to do to much the play before.

just kick, why risk a fumble? think about how the 'Skins got the ball on this possession in the first place....

moot point anyway, just glad the 'Skins got points there

Up by 14 at the half and we get the ball to start the second half. Offense needs to come out and set the pace. Don't get too conservative. Time to step on their throats.

Love that score. Making it easier for Holmgren in Dallas? :lol:

exactly

The D needs to keep the pressure on Foles and make solid tackles. The very worst thing would be to allow a garbage TD and give Foles and Co. some confidence.

Flag on the play. Illegal formation. Coaching counts for something, doesn't it?

Burgundy&Wha? · Post by **Burgundy&Wha?** » Sun Nov 18, 2012 3:42 pm

This offense is like shooting pool with a rope.

I hope not. I would not like to see Holmgren in Dallas. He has the most success when he's a coach only, which he would be in Dallas as Jerruh will not surrender the GM duties. Holmgren is much less effective when he wears both hats.

So much for any momentum. Thanks guys. You came out as sharp as a stack of pillows.

capitaldefense · Post by **capitaldefense** » Sun Nov 18, 2012 3:43 pm

Screens and draws they are pinning their ears back and coming after Griffin.

Here we go. Please let's not see the old "crap punt and quick Eagle TD" script again...

Amazing how most of their screens go for first downs or more while the 'Skins screens barely get out of the backfield.

Burgundy&Wha? · Post by **Burgundy&Wha?** » Sun Nov 18, 2012 3:44 pm

Up by 2 TD's and the D will have to win it.

I miss Gibbs' halftime adjustments. Can the 'Skins hire him back for that purpose alone?

They tried it, got lucky on a bad throw.

Burgundy&Wha? · Post by **Burgundy&Wha?** » Sun Nov 18, 2012 3:47 pm

A throw to a Tight End. Huh, who'd a thunk it?

absinthe1023 · Post by **absinthe1023** » Sun Nov 18, 2012 3:47 pm

pitch and catch, even a green rookie can do it!
