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

This has got to be the game that Mark Brunell was waiting for. Even though Ramsey outperformed Brunell tonight, the end result was the same....actually worse. We didn't score a single touchdown. Now Brunell has something to point to to say..."See! It wasn't me afterall!"

I couldn't help but think this after C. Samuels, and R> Brown singlehandedly sabotaged what should have been the momentum changing drive.

Though I'll never abandon the Redskins you've got to admit...thay make it pretty hard to root for them!

Don't bring up Brunell, that chapter is closed. He would have completed only half the passes Ramsey did. 2 of those hitch passes would have been picked off for td's if Brunell was throwing them, he does'nt have the arm strength.

Brunell? Who's that?

Is he that guy with a 0.0%?

The guy thats takin up 43 million of the cap?

They guy who will sap our money away for years to come?

Yeah,Yeah I think thats him.

I'm not here to start a Ramsey v.s. Brunell Thread. I'm just pointing out how much of a difference it has meant for the bottom line......none....so far at least.

My point being.....Its not the QB's fault. It wasn't tonight at least.

That is true.

First half game plan worked as planned. They should have came out in the 2nd half with a much more aggressive plan. You're not going to beat philly in a close game, their to explosive, can score at will. We should have made them pay for their mistakes with points but we did'nt.

As someone else here said....this game was all about momentum. If we didn't have to settle for field goals, and were able to capitalize on turnovers we would have won. Despite the lopsided score, this game really hinged on a few key plays....most of them mistakes by the redskins....or refs.....

The game was over as soon as Ray Brown flinched inside the red zone. If we had scored a touchdown there, then the defense would have had a reason to fight. If we didn't have to settle for fieldgoals on our first two drives then the game would have looked completely different. You can't expect the defense to play such inspired football when they know that the offense won't do jack with what the defense gives them.

I don't know.....perhaps that is the fault of the QB....not being able to score inside the Red Zone that is.....It sure doesn't help when the offense sabotages itself everytime the endzone gets close.

What team did Ray Brown used to play for?

Chad

so sad so sad

It all starts with the offensive line and we need help.

chaddukes ignored a glaring FACT when he wrote:I couldn't help but think this after C. Samuels, and R> Brown singlehandedly sabotaged what should have been the momentum changing drive.

Bro, let's not forget your boy's STUPID penalty that handed the Eagles a touchdown, while we were still alive in the game. Sean Taylor's pick was nice, and I'm sure it's helping him reach an individual contract incentive, but his penalty cost the team. And that stinks.

As for Mark, while 'his season may be over (let's not forget, Ramsey could get injured), he's still part of this team for years to come, so his "chapter" ain't over. It's being edited as we speak.

Oh, I don't disagree. That was a stupid idea from Taylor, and we got what we deserved. But he is a rookie, and Ray Brown and Samuels.....whats there excuse? I mean I understand the noise is a factor, but this just seems to happen too often. Don't get me wrong. Ray Brown has played very well against some of the best DE's in the league this year. He has done an admirable job filling in for Jansen, but he has also be instrumental in killing imprtant drives by making costly amateur mistakes.

My point isn't solely to malign the O-line. Its to show that our problems go deeper than the QB position.
