Daily Slop: Redskins Lose - Same Story, Different Day

by Kevin Ewoldt on Nov 30, 2009 10:00 AM EST in Redskins Analysis

"You keep seeing the same thing, we keep talking about, but I don't know what it is. Just finish it up...I mean, I was just trying to make a play," Landry said. "It wasn't my responsibility. I was just at the right place at the right time when he made the catch."

Because those organizations know that if one of the teams with the largest payrolls in the league has now lost nine straight games on the road, something beyond torn cartilage and bad luck is wrong...When is a genuine playmaker -- a move-the-needle type threat, not a space-holder until the established starter returns -- going to suit up in burgundy and gold and shock the masses, pull off, not put off, victory?
[WaPost: Mike Wise]

This quote by Laron Landry is maddening. It's his missed tackle (AGAIN) that changed momentum and set up the win. Take a look in the mirror, Laron. You should be ashamed of your play and your lack of ability to create turnovers.

"Jason isn't the problem," Cartwright said. And quarterback, as this close battle with the Eagles showed again, isn't the position that needs to be fixed first. [WaPost: Tom Boswell]

Marshall Faulk Calls out Albert Haynesworth [WaPost: Steinberg]

"The thing is, any time that you're the Washington Redskins and you come in as a free agent, and guess what, you miss the Dallas game and now you're about to miss the Philadelphia Eagles game?" Faulk began. "You can't miss games in the NFC East when they pay you $100 million. You've got to tape it up."

Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said, "We knew we could do it" about scoring the final 11 points to win. That says it all. The Redskins didn't scare McNabb. They're not scaring anyone. [WaExaminer: Rick Snider]

And another non-winning season under Dan Snyder is ensured; that's eight such seasons in his 11 years as owner. [WaExaminer: John Keim]

Landry

Its too bad. If he could just realize that he is not and never will be ST21, maybe he would play better…

well it's the same script as last week

just that some of the character names are different

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....

no there aren't

Carlos Rogers gets burned, Laron misses a tackle. Fred Davis drops a ball, Campbell overthrows a receiver. O-Line couldn’t push a 10 year old over for his lunch money.

Sounds like the same song to me.

and same result

a close loss or a close win…by chance
Not a football team which determines it’s own fate by performance

Don't forget the officials

not making the correct call that could have changed the game (well, Jason was so smashed up on the non-roughing call it probably wouldn’t have made a difference…but….). The Oliver Stoners everywhere would be talking conspiracy.

apparently

he blacked out and his arm went numb for a while. but he just dusted himself off and tried to make it seem like it happens to every football player

I'm still baffled as to why Zorn showed no emotion on that last play...

He could have run on the field…complained to an official.

Seems like Zorn has quite since losing play-calling…its showing a little more each week.

say's it all 8 losing seasons

Dan Snyder should not be involved, but he is and he does not know how to build a team.
He wants a winner, but is doing it all wrong

This pretty much says it all...

“It wasn’t my responsibility. I was just at the right place at the right time when he made the catch.”

In other words

I just happened to be there in time for the missed tackle. If you are there, Laron, it IS your responsibility.

Shallow, kneejerk comment by Faulk

typical worthless talking head commentary.

Yes Marshall, the important problem with this team is definitely Haynesworth maybe or maybe not being hurt. #1 problem indeed.

Only AH and

the team doctors can make that call. Also, D-line played well without AH for the most part.

DL played ok.

From where I sat (very high up @ the Linc) there wasn’t much pocket pressure or interior rush.

yeah they were running right through our DT's

and we got no interior push. We had to blitz alot and it still wasn’t getting there much. Our D-line played valiantly but AH was def. missed. I thought that was a stupid comment by Faulk as well. Almost as stupid as Mosely’s contention that AH is a bust cuz our D isn’t dominant. Thats not his fault and Mosely shouldn’t blame him for a BS story line. There are 10 other guys on the field. He can make us better but can’t do it all by himself.
