Jeez. Just downright pitiful to watch. I'll post my rants later, but right now I'm in school. Personally I quit watching the game after Bledsoe connected to Glenn for a TD. What are you guys' takes from the game and analysis? :-o

I also stopped watching somewhere in the third, it was just too agonizing to watch and enept offense, along with a rancid defense.
I think all the criticisim and analysis is pretty obvious.
Fix the qb,
fix the running game, portis probably isn't the answer but would help
fix the pass protection
fix the pass rush
fix the coverage packages
fixing the GD kick offs, please get it past the 10 yard line.

the whole team can be blamed but....

brunell looked horrid. no zip, no accuracy. looks a lot more like the 2004 brunell, than the 2005 version. this does not bode well.

1. Brunell should be released (not really, but he should definitely be benched).
2. Mark Brunell sucks.
3. Mark Brunell has 0 accuracy.
4. Mark Brunell also can't pass to a receiving core filled with great, fast receivers.
5. Mark Brunell doesn't have a pocket presence/mobility, just like Brad Johnson but much worse.
6. Mark Brunell looks like an 70 year-old man out on the field.
7. Brunell can't throw a pass more than 10 yards.
8. Brunell has a "little" tendency to thow the ball away or into double coverage.
9. It is time for Jason Campbell to start.
10. Mark Brunell sucks.
11. The offensive line is terrible.
12. Who is this supposedly offensive mastermind Al Saunders, and what is he doing with the offense?
13. Does a 700 page playbook really pay dividends?
14. Where are the "big" plays, hail mary's that this Al Saunders speaks of?
15. The defense doesn't look like it's playing defense.
16. No pressure on the QB is applied, there are no forced fumbles (other than the only "good" player on defense, Sean Taylor), no sacks, and no interceptions.
17. Coverage in the secondary is horrible.
18. Who is this Kenny Wright and what is he doing on this team?
19. Mark Brunell sucks.
20. I'm glad we didn't trade our 1st round draft pick this year (or at least haven't yet).

The Redskins are falling apart and fading fast. I hope and pray that we get better and finally start to play up to our ability. If we lose to the Texans Sunday, I can't even imagine what's going to happen.

Please don't me a poorly educated Redskins fan.

Well, he could use more than the 2 seconds of pocket time he gets per play.

SkinSFan22 wrote:5. Mark Brunell doesn't have a pocket presence/mobility, just like Brad Johnson but much worse.

If there's one thing Brunell still has going for him it IS mobility. The guy can still scramble for yards and sometimes evade the rush

SkinSFan22 wrote:7. Brunell can't throw a pass more than 10 yards.

He can, but not with much accuracy so far. He seems to be rattled.

SkinSFan22 wrote:8. Brunell has a "little" tendency to thow the ball away or into double coverage.

That was one INT. If anything he never takes the risks he should, always lobbing the ball out of bounds.

SkinSFan22 wrote:11. The offensive line is terrible.

For run-blocking, the line is superb. For pass-blocking, it's been mediocre. The problem is not the line, it's the guys who we have blocking blitzers at TE and RB.

SkinSFan22 wrote:14. Where are the "big" plays, hail mary's that this Al Saunders speaks of?

The opposing D continues to drop into a cover 2 every play, inviting the Skins to show their short and mid-range pass game. The one chance to go deep failed miserably, as Roy Williams was right there on the Cover 2.

SkinSFan22 wrote:15. The defense doesn't look like it's playing defense.

It's tough when you're on the field all day. The only TD of the game came on a 0:20 drive.

SkinSFan22 wrote:17. Coverage in the secondary is horrible.

It'll stay that way until our best cover-man returns, obviously.

SkinSFan22 wrote:18. Who is this Kenny Wright and what is he doing on this team?

He started as the #2 for the superb Jacksonville defense (the one that shut out the Colts in the first half of a game last year) and is an 8-year veteran.
