Indiscipline killing them again. Comes down to bad coaching I think.

Luckily the Giants have been as indisciplined so far.

How does Joe Barry still have a job?

If the defence can come up with a stop on this final drive I'll let him keep his job!

Joe Barry - the best defensive coach in the NFL.....!!!

They've ditched the gold pants (probably only for one day though) but I much prefer this look. Reminds me of when they used to be good!

Gold pants 0-2
Burgundy pants 1-0

Great win! Great to see some plays made on D. Just hope Breeland's injury isn't too bad. I think Blackmon might be an upgrade on DHall tbh.

Cousins got to keep playing without fear like that. Much improved.

Also playing Trent at LG might be an idea. Nsekhe is very good at LT. Run game clearly benefitted from it.

That clearly worked yeah.

I thought not kicking the FG at the end of the half was going to come back and bite us in the ass.

DeAngelo Hall done for the year. Next man Up!

And now Kory Lichtensteiger joins him on the IR. I know he's not any good but they're very thin at Centre so it is a loss. Sone guy called John Sullivan (ex Viking) signed.

Morrison J

I think I'm one of the few people who likes Kory Lich tbh. Been very good this year bar a couple of bad penalties. Massive loss to the line given we lost Reiter the other week. Spencer Long gonna have to step up.

Some in the media are calling the Browns match a potential trap game but I think this will be another win. However this being the Redskins, I'm sure the result will still be in doubt at the 2 minute warning.

My prediction is that they will build a decent sized early lead, then go into prevent mode on defence (which never works) and the Browns will get close but after a nervous last few minutes, the win will be confirmed.

And let's hope they're wearing the burgundy pants (1-0) again and rid those awful gold ones (0-2) to the bin forever!

jack presley

Damn it, the gold pants are back.

jack presley

This has been one of the worst defensive performances I have seen in a long time. Tackling is awful and they haven't been able to get off the field on multiple third downs, including the usual 3rd and longs.

Edit - I had literally just hit send and they force a fumble. Still though, the point stands.

jack presley

They also seem to have gone away from the run since they went 14-0 up.

Morrison J

Jim Haslett era all over again.

jack presley

That's more like it!

jack presley

A win's a win I suppose but that performance from the defence was very poor. I know they got 3 turnovers but the ease in which the Browns moved the ball was ridiculous. They did seem to get their act together in the 4th quarter but a better team will destroy them. A few worrying injuries it seems now too.

On the positive side, nice that they turned possession into touchdowns.

Strange way to gain 17 yards...!!!!

jack presley

It's the burgundy pants lads, I'm telling you...!!!

Great second half performance from the defence. Kirk was missing a few throws though but delighted with the win!

shamrock55

Didn't see it but great win,haven't won there in a while didn't realise we had a defence either😁

Morrison J

Very good win. First time in a while that I felt we truly dominated despite the scoreboard. Massive improvement defensively.

Eagles lost too so great day all round.

jack presley

Just saw that stat that said that's the Redskins 5th straight road win after winning only 1 of the previous 13.

We're playing well, tough to beat right now and we have 3 winnable games coming up if we hit the bye week 6-2 or even 5-3 then we are in a solid position. We have 6 tough games after the bye week with three Vikings, @ Cardinals and @ Cowboys all really tough asks (throw in Green Bay at home too) but all in all we are in a much better place right now than it appeared we would be after the first two games.

Kirk still missing some throws which we are not going to get away with against better offences. The defence though has looked better and better, Norman was a terrific signing, he's a brilliant corner.

jack presley

Awful and very worrying news about Su'a Craven's concussion today. Apparently his eyes are all over the place and he'll have to wear glasses for the rest of his life. It didn't say but I presume he can't play again?

EDIT - scrap that, looks like the internet has embellished the story a bit.

jack presley

Well this game has gone bad in the blink of an eye and it all started with Davis' jump shot after the TD.

Morrison J

We're dominating in every facet of this game. Crazy its 14-14. Hope that throw doesn't get to Kirk.

Nice comeback on that drive.

jack presley

Awful play call again on that 3rd and short.

Morrison J

Can't remember us dominating a game like this for a long time. We're literally battering them everywhere bar the scoreboard.

Best Kirk has played since 2015 too. Great touch to his throws.

Need to see it through now. It'll be awful if they lose this

jack presley

They could have killed the game there with any sort of drive but instead get a 3 and out and take only a minute off the clock.

Great couple of plays there. Another chance now to kill the game now.

Brilliant run by Jones.

Great win,didn't expect it tbh

Morrison J

Fantastic win. We're on a bit of a roll now and Kirk is starting to look more like his 2015 self. Very positive.

Could do with the Packers beating the Cowboys later too. Division is so winnable once again imo.

Real pity that the Ravens didnt hang on

Cousins played well, nice to see Vernon Davis catch a couple qulity player and if we can utilise him and Reed at the same time we should give ourselves some real red zone targets that can go up against anyone.

jack presley

It's one of those days lads.

jack presley

Too many yards after catch been given up today.

Great hold there though.

jack presley

Bad game today. Just never got going. And why they change the way they play defence once they get a lead and it's late in the game baffles me.

Is that 0-9 for Joe Barry in Detroit now?

Morrison J

Such a tough loss. Just didn't get any breaks and made some big errors, Jones in particular.

Really hope Norman and Trent Williams are ok. Not ideal if we're missing our best three players in Norman, Williams and Reed next week. Kinda turns into a near must win game now looking at our schedule.

They'll be alright, it's only AJ Green they're up against.....!!!!!

What do you guys think of both teams only arriving in London on Friday morning? Obviously they've done their research and homework etc. on when the best time to arrive is and whichever team wins, it will seen as a great call but whichever one loses will probably be slated in the media, especially if they look sluggish in doing so.

I know whenever I fly from the States to here, I'm fecked for days. Mind you, I'm always in steerage so can never get sleep whereas I'm sure the team are travelling in luxury.

jack presley

Good news for the team but I don't know how good it is for the players' long term health though.

/i dont think its a bad thing, like you said probably traveling first class with seats that extend to beds. I would the only drawback is not being able to train in the beautiful weather we are having. You heading over yeah Jack?

Yeah. Only a quick visit though. First flight out Sunday morning and last flight back.

Be a good time though, hopefully the Skins win too!

Mack Brown signed from the practice squad so it looks like Matt Jones isn't going to play.

Jones is a loss even if he does have some problems holding onto the ball.

jack presley

The winning kick!

Good day yesterday. Feels like a loss though.
