i took one thing away from those stats. the bills score touchdowns when they have the opportunities. also the skins need to stop kidding themselves and run the ball 45 the 50 times a game. even if it is a “passing” league now the skins strength this year and virtually over the last 15 years is running the football

They almost did to Fig Newton The defense is by your stats middle of the road to road kill. Being 15th, 16th, or 23rd isn’t good when going up against an offense ranked 4th in rushing and 3rd in points scored. Besides stats are deceiving. The Redskins have been gashed by runners for the past few weeks. Carolina had one average 5.9 yards per carry and the other 4.8 I think it was. I won’t even mention what Fig did to them.
Is the game at Toronto winnable. Sure…but they’ve got to play better than they have the last two weeks. This team can’t spot teams 20 point leads ala the Eagles.

Actually...

Only Jonathan Stewart had a good average, so did Newton. DeAngelo Williams was held to something under 4 ypc.

Only two teams, those with running quarterbacks, have had success on overall offense against the Skins.

Fitz will not make havoc with the Skins defense like Vick or Newton. While the Bills are favored in the point spread, their defense really sucks. Skins should win the time of possession battle.

I was pessimistic about Phil and Car

but have a hunch on this one – the psychology should be right, and they are due for a good game. Skins, 27-17.

I sense track meet with the Bills pourous defense, we'll score points by default.

However, the Bills have made a living winning in track meets this season. 30-27, Bills, BUUUUUT, we will look better than we have in the past 2 weeks.

I hope the track meet is one sided..ours

Our defense has given up an average of 401 yards in three loses, including 164 yards rushing. That ain’t going to cut it against one of the top scoring offenses in the league. The Bills also have 12 INT’s. So this team had better get back to the way we started out or it’s going to be a long season. I don’t know what really has changed defensively over the start of the season other than Haslett game plan. Sure there’s been a few injuries but nothing like the offense.

By the way i will put a post up like this every week.

The Redskins are my team. That is all.

Wellllll

I’d say that part of the issue with the defense is the fact that our offense has not controlled the clock like it did early on, and in games like the Philly game, the defense was on the field for almost 40 minutes…though they played better as the game wore on. In Carolina, the opposite happened. The defense held Carolina for the first 2 1/2 quarters, but the offense couldn’t do anything during that timeframe. The offense only came to life after the defense began to falter, and by then it was too late.

Too simplistic a statement

Getting gashed for an average of 164 yards rushing per game is on the front seven and those yards are coming throughout the game not just at the end when their tongues are supposedly hanging out. Which is another point. These are professional athletes in top physical condition. I don’t buy this notion that they run out of steam after playing 3/4 of a game. They know how long games are and how to ration the energy they have. The front three are substituted for liberally. This defense hasn’t stopped a runner all season. At one point they were ranked like 3rd against the run but allowing something like 4.9 yards per attempt. You’ve got Kerrigan and Arakpo crashing the QB constantly so there’s always a big hole right off tackle which is where everybody is running, As for Carolina they were moving it up and down the field but not scoring during the first half. First play of the game? Fig for 25 yards with half the defense whiffing on taking him down.
