Punt. They have Haskins for ####s sake. 

 

[rockaction]

Wow. This isn't second guessing because I couldn't believe it in the first place. Woof.

 

[Biabreakable]

Ultra conservative play calling.

Not saying the screens haven't been very effective though.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Man, with how Cook has been running, seems like they should have given him the ball there.

 

[Funkley]

Well.......that was.....odd. Balsy but odd. 

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Normally I am all in favor of being really aggressive on 4th down, but given the situation, that was straight up stoopid. Wow.

 

[rockaction]

The Redskins aren’t as bad as their record. They’re not as bad as the Dolphins/Jets/Bengals/Falcons IMO.

Yeah it was messy last week, but they made it a close game with a Niners team that is really good.

C'mon. They're still hurt and yet beat Dallas.

Excellent f’n analysis here.

Bold strategy Zimmer

This

Spread em out and hand it off 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

What was Zimmer thinking there...sorry but you keep making costly holding penalties right or wrong and you gotta punt there. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

QB sneaks in general last couple weeks have really ended badly around the NFL. You'd think they might learn by now. 

 

[Funkley]

Haskins, ty. GB

 

[The Frankman]

Well that was unfortunate. Ball sailed on him, gotta clean up the mechanics.

 

[rockaction]

Ahhh...that's the Haskins we're expecting to see.

 

[Rileyrott]

Bailed-out by the pick!

 

[conlilnew]

Who thought it was a good idea to draft Haskins. 

 

[The Claymaker]

They knew what they were doing. Gonna be a lot of Cook on this TD drive.

He thought they could get a 1st down

 

[GroveDiesel]

You know, on that long run by AP on their previous possession he passed both Bettis and Tomlinson To move into 6th on the all time rushing list and, unless I just blanked, Buck and Aikman didn’t even mention it.

 

[conlilnew]

Haskins is the future of the Redskins. A lot of last place finishes on tap. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Of course there is the rookie QB factor as the Vikes get the ball right back. 

That's because of Zimmer's gutsy call right there. He had confidence and that defense and they didn't let him down. He'll roll the dice again if you give Riverboat Zimmer another crack at it, mark my words. 

 

[The Claymaker]

Nice play by Norman, that’s rarely heard anymore.

Rewind your DVR, they absolutely mentioned it

I thought they did, no? Maybe I'm thinking of the couple times it was mentioned in the pre-game, and earlier in the actual game.

Nancy Pelosi: Seriously? Seriously?!

They did, but they said it in sign language so it was easily missed.

You blanked

 

[dgreen]

Nine guys in coverage and still an open receiver. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

This game needs more flags 

 

[GroveDiesel]

Vikings should keep throwing. Redskins are selling out on the run.

Gotta throw it over the middle where the linebackers are vacating

 

[The Claymaker]

That was a sweet move by Cook. 

 

[The Frankman]

You know the Washington D is holding up pretty well so far, a lot due to the Vikings playcalling but they're holding up and not getting blown out. A stop here, a missed FG there and they get a chance to tie it up.

EDIT: lol nope.

 

[The Claymaker]

If you had Cook or Bailey going, you are pretty happy. Also a solid game by Diggs. 

 

[rockaction]

Touchdown for MN will cover the spread now. Can't see Haskins moving the ball, so it looks like covering is on WSH D.

 

[The Claymaker]

Hunter sack incoming. I meant Griffen. 

 

[mr roboto]

O/U 9 FGs this game. 

 

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

That was one of the ugliest pre-snap plays I've ever seen.

 

[mr roboto]

Thursday’s just suck. 

 

[DocHolliday]

Thursday’s just suck. 

Well said.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Need a Cousins td somehow

 

[Funkley]

Redskins crashing down so hard in the run.....Cook will break a long one here soon if he can get past the line.

 

[Rove!]

Game

 

[Absolutely Nothing]

Need a Cousins td somehow

Same here, but that's a risky thing to need.

 

[SoBeDad]

This is the reason Cousins is  not the best start against bad teams. Good game by Kirk, but run first philosophy.

 

[The Claymaker]

31 regretting that tackle immediately. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I think Mattison lost 50 yds tonight to penalties

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Same here, but that's a risky thing to need.

Yeah, we’re ####ed

 

[mr roboto]

What a weird game.
