We played tentative all night and played "not to lose " rather than play to win.

I think the subject line speaks for itself. We were very tentative in this game, and we seemed to be playing "not to lose it", rather than play assertively and aggressively and play to win it. IMO, we "lost" the game...rather than Washington winning it.

ding ding we have a winner!!

We played the way we did on offense because we expected to see a lot of blitzes tonight. Instead all Washington did was let em catch it and hit em or when we ran it just swarm to the ball. They didn't blitz much at all after the first drive. In fact I don't remember seeing a blitz after the first drive by Washington. Tip your had to the Commanders and lets move on.

yep...a guy with a wet noodle for an arm took them downtown twice in like 3minutes on the same damn play.

Exposed the lack of speed of Glenn badly.

absolutley this loss falls on the Big Tuna

Totally agree coaching staff lost this one.

Washington played just as conservative as we did until they had to throw deep. They made the plays and we did not. We get a very good kickoff return and still play conservative! What the !#$%. The 4th down play was ridiculous. 4th and 4 and glenn runs a 2 yard route! How stupid is that. This is the worst loss I have ever seen after dominating the entire game. Just sick.

And coaches have to ADJUST, which they didn't. What part of that isn't understood,if the D does something YOU ADJUST. Period!
Don't tip your hat to the Skins.................that sounds like a closet RS fan quote to me.
