i spent 150 for this bull shit...

You made the classic mistake, you never beat on your team

And that is not happening.

We'll know for sure next week. If they can't drop 30+ on the Steelers than the year is over.

At least the Niners got their asses kicked too.

True, but unfortunately it was to the team we face next week, and they look really good...

I never bet on the team snake eyes...it was simply wasting 150 for 2 tickets to watch this piece of shit team play the redskins.

Oh, ok.

Offensive line was horrible, period. That's all I am going to say!

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Didn't expect this game to turn out this way. We may indeed have a very legit Running game with our young Oline holding up well. Skins closed out in a way I haven't seen in years.

I think people may have underrated the Matt Jones/Al Mo 1-2 punch.

Good luck the rest of the way y'all

They better show up with Gurley and Quick next week. We need some physicality in that offense.

excuse me while i eat my crow





fooled me again...

 

[TEB11]

Me too Red. I am not making anymore predictions with this team 'cause I have NO idea what team is gonna show up week in and week out!

 

[J-Rod]

I love this team, but I can not trust them. Redskins made us look bad today. I didn't even know who Matt Jones was until he ran all over our defense. We didn't show any consistency on offense, and I feel we are back to breaking penalty records.

 

[Chilipepper]

Same old RAMS

Good points J-Rod.

I was at work so I didn't catch the game. Looks like I didn't miss anything.

And we face the Steelers next week.

On the offensive side of the ball, we severely and continually lost at the LOS with Skins in the backfield most of the game. Honestly I'd sit Cook, he got beat so bad over and over again. There was one play where he was actually pushed back into the running back as Foles handed off the ball, it was pathetic the way he got pushed around today. I think all the dude wants to do is catch the ball, which he failed at also today missing a sure first down toss from Foles after he hit him right in his two hands, of course it was 3rd down.

On the defensive side, the Skins kept us off balance all day. They picked up our blitzes well and at times moved the ball at will. The offense immune to converting 3rd downs didn't help the defense with rest but missing on a couple of turnovers allowed the Redskins to score. When you struggle on the road, like we were ya gotta hang on to them turnover opportunities.

The game sucked but even though we played as bad as we did, we were still in striking distance for most of the 2nd half after failing score in the first half and going down 17-0.

6) Hello again, mediocrity! The St. Louis Rams are an 8-8 team.







St. Louis had a strong win against the Seahawks in Week 1, furthering the offseason notion that Jeff Fisher's squad was ready to break through in 2015. But Sunday's 24-10 loss was just unacceptable. Getting pushed around by the Washington Redskins? When you play in an ultra-competitive division like the NFC West, that can't happen. What happened to the power-loaded D-line?Redskins rookie Matt Jones ran wild, with 123 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries.

The Rams have had a knack for playing down to inferior competition in recent years. Perhaps rookie running back Todd Gurley can change fortunes whenever he returns to the field, but Sunday was alarming and painted a picture of another up-and-down season in St. Louis.


this pretty much sums up what many of us here are concerned about each and every year with Fisher's Rams and why there is always more pessimism than optimism.

 

[Rambunctious]

It's all on Fisher now...team is relatively healthy, Bradford is gone, a new OC, Better players, same Fisher type of game plan and a lack of readiness. Same results. Lose! Lose! Lose!

 

[Retroram52]

The Giants lead the Skins 12 to 3 in the second after Redskins early miscues. Is this the world-beaters we played last week-end?

 

[Vitamike]

Since 1966 the Home team in the NFL wins 57.3% of the time.

I'll take those odds all day!

I know it doesn't sound like much of an advantage until you consider the Road team wins just 42.7% of the time of course.
