Even if they beat Detroit it just means they're a team that's over achieving. Their defense is at the back end of the league and will continue to get lit up by better offenses. Other than Cleveland every team we've beaten had a winning record at the time

ego symphonic posted:They have been very bad for a very long time so even just beating the teams that they're "supposed to" is an extremely positive development for this stupid franchise. They weren't supposed to win 3 out of these 4 games. They were underdogs by at least 2 points against NYG, BAL, PHY. So again I think it's a bit revisionist to say oh they haven't beaten anyone, or that they were expected to win these games. If they win in Detroit they will have done so against the Vegas odds again. Detroit is current -1 to -2 depending on the book you trust. Again - all 3 of those teams were above .500 when the Redskins beat them, and the Redskins covered a -9 spread against Cleveland, the only game they were "supposed" to win.

blue squares posted:I don't think pointing to a team being above .500 at the time is a good argument. If they are no longer above .500, that just shows that the team was overrated and the win isn't as impressive The Eagles are still above .500 and NYG and BAL are .500 and would be above .500 if they had not lost to Washington. Washington is 11-5 in their last 16 games dating to 2015. Cousins has thrown 32TD to 6 INT and rushed for 5Td in that period as well. The defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in the last 7 quarters, and 1 TD in the last 8. The offense has gone 3 and out only 6 times in 64 possessions, good for first in the NFL. They also lead the league in lowest percentage of drives ending in punt, at 28.1%. I'm not saying the Redskins are world beaters but it sure seems like the outside perception of the team doesn't match current reality.

Vaitai reminds me of the guys the Redskins had circa mid 2000s. JAG who has no business starting thrust into starting position. Like Stephon Heyer, could be a tough 9 more weeks for Wentz if he continues to look like a turnstile. Kerrigan abused him, and he will face more players of that caliber. But what other options do the Eagles have at that position?

Same with Barbre. He may not be great but he's a 9 year vet who has started games. Tough situation. Well, the Skins drafted Morgan Moses in a mid/late round, and he looked awful in spot duty his rookie year (remember him not moving at all post snap during a Monday night game during the RG3 era?), but he has really blossomed into an above average RT.

AvesPKS posted:One of the biggest differences I've seen this year regarding the Skins is they have quality depth. It's allowed them to continue to play well in the face of significant losses to injury, like both starting safeties, a cornerback, d lineman, and center. Which I know is a normal thing that normal teams do, but it's a step up for the Skins who haven't typically carried a lot of good depth in recent years. Totally agree on the depth. Very refreshing. Also, our offensive line has gone from below average to above average. Trent Williams and Scherff are absolutely mauling people, Moses and Luovao are performing well, and Long has been a huge upgrade at center and is young to boot. And again, there is depth enough to at least make things work in spot duty or a game or 2. In regards to pre snap you are totally right. During film review several bloggers pointed out that Cousins cadence was disguised this week. In addition there was an excellent film break down on the Washington Post about a play that the Redskins torched the Eagles on a few times last year. This year the team designed a play with the same look but ran something totally different. Really good play design and execution. It's nice not to always be the ones being fooled. quote:I think Cousins has been executing the short/intermediate passing game very well, and I guess my only complaint is the lack of the long ball. quote:Kicking has also improved from years past. That's been a big help, not leaving points on the field. It always cracks me up that I think at least 3 former Redskins kickers start for other teams. This. So much this. He's only missed 2 kicks this year IIRC - XP and a 58 yarded both in tropical storm winds in Baltimore. Plus, even though Forbath was fairly consistent at kicking FGs, Hopkins can actually get the ball through the end zone, which is huge for our special teams coverage. And let's not forget MVP Tress Way who is the best punter ever. quote:Ultimately, though, I'm not sure how the rest of the season is going to go. I haven't really seen them demonstrate the ability to run the ball when they need to, and I need to see more from the defense in stopping the run and not missing tackles. In the 4 wins this season our run pass ratio is much better. We need to keep pounding the ball with all 3 backs even if it's not working at first. In regards to the defense, the tackling has gotten better, but I agree. Need consistency. I'd also like to see if we can keep the pass rush up. Trent Murphy coming into his own has been a huge surprise and it goes to show that you really do have to be patient and let players develop sometimes, which has not been a strength of the Snyder era Redskins. Cravens and Fuller are both playing very well as rookies on that side of the ball and look to be good pieces for years to come, too. I haven't been genuinely optimistic about this team like this in a long time. NattyBo fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Oct 20, 2016 |

blue squares posted:I don't get what happened to Alfred Morris. As a rookie he was tearing it up. Then he disappeared and is now the backup on the Cowboys, getting five or so carries a game. He thrived when we had a QB running read option and the defense had to hesitate. Also, Gruden doesn't run much outside zone stuff, which is what Shanahan basically patented. Morris is a hard runner and a spectacular human being, but he never had particularly good vision or speed. He was tough and durable as hell, though.

After further reflection, I think I'm ready to see Matt Jones take a nice long ride on the bench. He looks good but he also averages a fumble every 31 carries, which is just unacceptable. Kelly looks just as capable of a runner and so far has displayed much more ball security. Jones fumbles yesterday were just plain bad. And he just keeps doing it. I was willing to write it off as a rookie problem last year, but it's costing us games and he doesn't seem to be improving. Some guys just can't help fumbling constantly, seems like he could be one of those guys. I also don't know how JAG Ryan Grant maintains a roster spot. He's an ok blocker and is apparently a great route runner in practice, but every time the real bullets fly, he has a huge screwup. Dropped easy 3rd down last week, led a defender into Vernon Davis by running the wrong route yesterday which nearly caused a pick, slipping in overtime in Atlanta last year which caused the walk off pick 6....I'm done with him.

I really see him as well above average but I think the national perception is different. I'm not ready to go back into the wilderness of putrid QBs. Cousins gives us a chance to win most of the games we play in, which is good enough. I mean he's 6th in passing yards, 10th in passing TDs, can run when he needs to, 14th in completion % and 6th in completions of 20+ yards. The reality is you can't match that production with some free agent JAG, unless there's a can't miss rookie in the draft, which we won't be high enough to get anyway.

I went ahead and grabbed some stats, no trying to co opt the thread but I'm infuriated at idiotic sports radio and want good outside perception. Through Week 7: Passing yards: 6th Yards/G: 7th Completion %: 14th YPC: 15th 1st Down: Tied/6th 1st Down %: 21st Longest play: 27th Pass Plays of 20+ yds: 6th Pass Plays of 40+ yds: Tied/12th Passing TDs: 10th Rush TDs: Tied/7th INT: Tied/7th Rating: 92.3/18th 2 4th quarter comebacks in 2016, and he also took the lead on the road in Detroit with 1:05 left to play.

If he plays a bad game this morning, he is trash forever. If he plays incredibly, he is in the GOAT conversation. Seems fair enough

Everyone else in the top 9 (which is where it drops below 2k yards, and #10 is Eli who is on bye this week) hasn't had a bye yet, but you keep sticking to your non-analysis and narrative. Even if Brees passes him while Washington is on bye this week, #2 is hardly something to sniff at.

Edit: The NFL site hadn't updated yet, Matt Ryan is now in the lead, Cousins second. Still pretty happy. If you take out OT passing yards today he's still right there with Brees at #3 (trying to find quarter by quarter stats is surprisingly hard!) He's still only 46 yards short of being on pace for a 5,000 yard season, which is drat impressive, even if I know he isn't actually going to get close to 5K, I think he's almost certain to break the franchise records he set last year.
