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

Come on Jay. Go for the TD. Not the FG.

Doctson has to catch that.

Defense is not gonna have anything left for OT, I fear.

We'll have to hear all about how great the Chefs offense is and how great of a coach Andy Reid is.

Doctson also got facemasked, no call. Second uncalled facemask of the game for the Chefs.

Another flagrant holding call goes uncalled.

Doctson has no excuse. That was a dead-on, perfect pass.

'Skins did themselves no favors, but the refs really had a huge impact on this game.

Baloney! The refs have not made any difference. The Redskins shot themselves in every toe of both feet.

Doctson's dropped TD pass, and having to kick a FG in the first quarter instead of getting a TD on the KC 2 yard line cost us the game.

The defense played pretty well given the injuries.

No difference when Doctson got facemasked in the endzone? That was just the latest no-call. You can't tell me if that happened to a Patriots player or a Cowboys player that the call wouldn't have been made. The 'Skins definitely made tons of mistakes of their own, I agree.

There was NO facemask on Doctson. He barely touched his facemask.

You are "refs cost us the game" all the time.

The calls were lopsided.. But they always are! We ad a chance but Doctson couldn't secure it through the ground.

Minus the debacle on the las stitch effort fail of a play, it was a good game to build on. Hung in with the #1 team for four quarters and came up short- at THEIR HOUSE.
INJURIES GALORE but still we had a chance. A gutsy go for bit on fourth since our D was banged up would've been fun, but owell. Heads high, we have a lot of games yet!

The Redskins are lucky theyre 2-2. The Raiders threw the game last week because Carr stood during the national anthem.

Cousins continues to show he is not a franchise QB. He still cannot beat good teams.

Lmao he was our best player tonight... Gtfoh

Penalties cost us the game, some penalty calls were good and when they start calling penalty calls the bad ones will follow.
We played well enough to win, they did good. I even liked the play calling, Gruden is impressing me and the entire staff is championship calibre. We got a very good team.

Some will blame the questionable calls but there were plenty of legit ones that extended the Chiefs' drives. (Looking at you, Preston Smith) If those drives had ended in stops like they should have, we would have had a convincing win. I love how the announcers credited the Chiefs for how well they moved the ball... our defense moved the ball for them via penalty yards.

Otherwise, I agree with oj. We have a good enough team to beat anybody out there if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

Also glad to read that no Redskins "protested" this week.

This loss is not on Cousins, he played well. Penalties, mostly by the defense, injuries, horrible play calling inside the red zone, and the dropped pass in the end zone late in the 4th is what cost us the game. I don't believe I've ever seen that many players get hurt in a single game, which leads me to believe they were more than just coincidental...

Kind of a head scratcher comment. We were only in the KC red zone twice. Once for a TD and once for a FG. Ran a total of five plays. I get your point that we'd like to get a TD instead of a FG on that second drive, but didn't strike me as horrible play calling there that cost us the game.

the team did not embarrass themselves as they have on national TV recently

actually, we could have won this game by just playing to our capabilities and not making mistakes defensively that extended drives AND not executing plays offensively that would have extended drives - good teams find ways to win games like this and we are not there yet

as usual, we're going to win some games we shouldn't and we're going to lose some games we should have won

That's definitely true, but its not unique to the Redskins. Who was expecting the Bills to beat the Falcons this week?

I like that strategy of looking at the season in quarters and not getting too hung up on one week. To stay on pace, gotta win 2 of every 4 games. And somewhere along the way gotta win 3 of 4. Damn we were close to 3-1...

Next up: 49ers, Pukes, Iggles, Seahawks. Can we get two more wins out of that four? How about three?

we could win 4 of those based on what we've seen and especially the past 2 games - we don't need these guys to do anything above what they're capable of - they just need to clean up the mistakes that are costing us 1st downs and from stopping the other team on offense

I have the pic.. His hand was IN his face mask poking eyes out.. But ok

You're drinkin the Kool-Aid if you think the Faiders threw that game...

this is just not true ...

the Redskins are unlucky not to be 3-1

The Raiders did not "throw the game", that is just a stupid assertion - they lost because the Redskins defense and offense played better

Cousins may not be a franchise QB but he's playing well - he was not the reason we lost to the Chiefs - we made too many mistakes
