Could have been worse, at least nobody died.

i am most mad about going for the 53 yard field goal try. that was just stupid. kick it away and pin them. at that point in the game they couldnt move the ball.
the stupid challenege bullcrap n the 4th was so stupid. if the skins subbed, i do not know if they did, but then they have to let us sub. moronic. and i did not know you could challenge a penalty call. screw this.

AP needed to be on the field more, not necessarily get the ball more. on kick returns, the one time he was out there, they kicked it short and gave us better field position

We have to give it to them guys, they played harder. They wanted it, and they got it.

We were out played, out coached, and just out done.

We did not come ready to play, plain and simple.

Sadly, we are in for this every year that T-Whack is behind center and every year that Chillybater has a headset on while wearing purple.

I think so. The guy just doesn't get it. Collins had no problem throwing against more defenders. Right now I am so pissed I would welcome Collins over Jackson. HE GAVE THE GAME AWAY! At least he is not wearing his hat backwards tonight. Real improvement.

Can't wait to see what Shannahan will do to Childress and co. next week.

Defense coaching adjusted well after the first drive or so.
Then the personnel tired.
O-coaching... pathetic.

Well, I blame Jackson. The skins basically put thier entire team on the line and Jackson just threw balls in the air. No question. Was it chillys fault that jackson just hucks the ball up? Or is Chilly to blame for not putting Bollinger in after the first 2 sh%^y throws.

Yea Jackson choked.

Yeah, topics got merged and i was commenting on the coaching.

You are 100% right.
TJ lost this game along with several others this year.
There's a reason why QB is the top paid position... it's the most important.
and vikes have a terrible one. that hasn't shown improvement in the MOST important area... mistakes.

What's disheartening most to me....is the fact that our offensive coaches have seen teams do this to us for several weeks now....Stacking the box. Why would they expect anything different tonight?

Sure T.Jack made a couple of bad throws that's on him....but eventually the offense got into sink...Why?? Because we were able to keep the Redskins guessing on first and second down.

We have little if any imagination or other use options for our backs. Little if any Screens, swing passes, etc. ANY TEAM in the NFL Dolphins included can stop your running game when they know it's coming.

This will need some serious tweeking in the off season.

In my humble opinion We Could have won this game with an earlier change in tactics....that equals poor coaching. Maybe not overall for the season...but for sure in this game.

Cheers!

Anyone who's blaming Jackson for this needs to get their head screwed back in.
The bottom line is, the coaches weren't prepared for what the Redskins were doing (even though a MONKEY could have seen it coming).
Notice how, in the second half, they had enough success to force the Skins to back off?
That's because at halftime, they made the adjustments they should have made before the game even started.

Right On Platypus.....This is a very correct read!

Cheers!

Coaches didn't make him throw a interception on the very first series.
You cannot do shit like that.
