To Much to Overcome

3rd and 4th string corners
4th string ILB
3rd string OLB
2nd string Center
2nd string Kicker
3rd string OT
2nd, 3rd, and 4th string RBs

3 games in 2 weeks. 2 of which were played on different days than originally scheduled.

Refs absolutely gifted the Skins their first 10 points.

We lost. Simply to much to overcome.

 

Got to come out hot vs Buffalo or we are going to get blown out lol

 

I guess we will have to see who plays. I am not an Avery Williamson fan after this. I am not sure if Spillane will play or not. but Avery needs to be better. I can say the same about Justin Layne.

 

Too many injuries on D

 

All I know is if we have to rely on Vinny on passing downs due to injuries, there will be many TDs given up.

 

But our offence was the real problem, not our D

 

Washington moved up and down the field all 2nd half.

 

Once our guys went down sure. They weren’t doing squat before and that’s because we had no rest or practice

 

We needed this loss, I think they all thought after 3 weeks of lackluster play they could just show up and eek out a win every week. Eventually that attitude catches up with you.

 

Especially Haden and Nelson. Spillane I am not too worried about but still need that depth there.

 

Thanks a lot NFL for screwing over the Steelers with postponement of the Ravens game 3 times, then the Steelers had to turn around and play Washington on 4 days rest.

 

The whole game changed when Spillane got injured.

 

Did you notice how lost they seemed on defense after losing Spillane? He's not a great player, but he can handle being the defensive signal-caller. Vince Williams has proven time and again that he can't do that job. Tomlin admitted that the communication on defense broke down due to the injuries. That is all about losing Spillane.

The defense fell apart in the second half, and much of that was because they were down four starters. It was only one night, but Highsmith was a poor replacement for Dupree. Take away Nelson and the other guys they lost tonight and the defense isn't even good.

 

And we did not. A first down at the end of the first half they do not even get a chance to kick a FG (ref help or not), we score 1 TD in the second half we win the game....take care of our own business...which we could not do.

 

The entire game changed when he went down. Much more confusion getting lined up and more zone that guys didn't get to.

I love Vince for what he does, but he cannot call be the guy relaying the defensive calls in and calling adjustments. That's not what he does well.

 

I thought the game changed on the bogus ruffing the punter call

 

I still don't understand how they gave the WFT those extra seconds for a kick at end of first half.

Smith ran off the field with the football, should have been a penalty.

 

Agree to disagree then.

 

This team has been heading in the wrong direction the past 3 weeks, thinking haveing to take a early bye has caused us to hit a wall

 

I think we will be ok. If we get blown out by Buffalo I’ll worry

 

Did you listen to Tomlin's press conference. He's the one who said it. There were communication breakdowns when the injuries hit. Spillane is the one with the green dot. Given that Williams has also struggled with that role in the past, it is very clear that the breakdowns were at least in part due to the loss of Spillane.

 

That was farcical.

 

I believe the offense is broken. I think we had 9 yards rushing with most of the 1st qtr gone. We can't get 1 freaking yard on 4 plays on the goal line. We have had this issue for some time now and still no improvement. This will cause more losses so be ready to suck it up. Skins crowded the los all night and it worked for the most part. Then we had 8 dropped passes. WTF is going on?

 

All the problems that we have had are still with us and we've had them for weeks. Primarily on offense. Just terrible. Tomlin speak sounds tough and all but it's nothing but talk. What did he say about last games dropped passes and it was worse today. We're in trouble.
