The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Did anybody else catch that one play where RGIII was flushed out to his left, and he put the ball into his left hand like he was looking to throw lefty? I'm glad he didn't, but he was keeping his options open.

To be fair, the offense wasn't on the field much in the early part of the game. They had a short field off the INT, and then the Eagles had the ball for a couple long drives. That may have had something to do with the offense not being in sync. I'd still agree that the play calling seemed off.

There were a couple calls I liked though. The deep ball to Moss just seemed like a great time to take that shot. It also seemed like the ball was getting to a lot of different WRs. Not sure if that is RGIII or play calling.

I think it was RG3 hell he even make sure Garcon got 3 catches........That is enough to keep a defense honest and not really roll protection to one receiver. I think another thing we should do is keep Moss and Garcon as #1 and #2 and have Morgan line up in the slot, his size and speed would be a nightmare for a DB covering the slot receiver......Lastly why is ey even back??? He has done nothing or even been looked at since he resigned....

In the rgiii pics thread I found one of him throwing lefty its in there.. it appeared to be pregame so I think he practices for the just incase.
Kid is amazing tho and I enjoyed the deep balls yesterday.

31 points on O, no tds given up on D a +3 turn over ratio and people are still complaining? Oh and a W against a divisional rival... Gotta love the internets!

I don't 'hear' any 'complaining' - I hear constructive criticism


there was a lot to like but there were some worrying things too

8-8 or even 9-7 is still there but NOT likely if we do not learn from the bad things that were clearly evident

I was happy with the game but there were still a good deal of issues to worry about:
- PHI's 3rd down conversion % was WAY to high. Our defense was on the field almost for the entire 1st quarter.
- Garcon still appears to be VERY injured. They might as well throw him on the IR.
- The D pressure was mostly because of PHI poor OL -- and a QB that held the ball.
- PHI made mistakes, which cost them points. It wasn't because our D made plays. Noles missed his target on numerous plays. Had we played against a decent QB, this would have been a much closer game.
- Merriweather looked very good, but his injury is disappointing.
- Our WRs are still horrible.

On the bright side:
- Haz threw out different schemes and used different angles than we had seen this year.
- RGIII is a complete stud.
- Morris, while he didn't have a great game, is still a complete stud.
- Not sure how people can be upset wiith our offensive playcalling when we averaged 7.1 yards PER PLAY. This was second (by .3) ONLY to NE's 59 point effort put up on.............. you guessed it THE COLTS!!!

I personally maintain that we have had a VERY difficult schedule this year. We played a below average team and played (and beat them) the way we should have.

Only got to watch highlights of the game and the W looked great, specially against a division rival.
Checking the stats, I would like our RB to have more rushing yds than our QB, but I know is hard when you have RGIII unplugged.
HaiL,

Hopefully the players and coaching staff are doing more than celebrating. We have to play Dallas in three days!

On D...don't think you can underestimate the return of Meriweather. His had impact plays immediately. He is physical, and makes an impression on the opposing offense. .

Really sucks that he is gone for the year!

Especially since he got his torn ACL on a non-contact play.

For those that do not understand ... help is coming

The yardage gained on plays that were 'called' by the OC were minimal because for the most part they were horrible plays

the yardage gained by RG3 doing his thing skewed the stats - LOOK AT THE DAMNED TAPE

Kyle does not have a clue and we would not have won this game without RG3 even though the defense helped a bit

Are you asking why they're not feeding him the ball? Because I would agree with that.

All I know is that the days are good after a Redskin victory.

you got that right - just amazing that the doom and gloom guys seem to be hiding

it's just 1 game guys - and we didn't do anything really great - I mean the eagles are on a losing streak ..

not like we dominated or anything - you guys could even say, 'we didn't win this game, the eagles lost it ...' or some such BS



I'm still hoping for 8-8 or 9-7 ... BUT ... if we can find a way to win these next 2 .. I could care less about the rest ..

I just am so looking forward to kicking some butt next season when we get our guys back

I just hope we have some coaching changes here ...

*week 17 is probably the most important game to win... these next two would be fantastic, and im hoping we sweep the remainging 4 division games... even optomistic we win the rest out, but that last game... dallas week... is the game i hope we win most (by the most).

-be better if its a game we dominate to make the playoffs
*of course ill be fine with smashing the pukes, to prevent them from making the playoffs aswell
