    Awful play call AGAIN on 3rd down in the red zone.

    Icing your own kicker is never good. And as in London, Hopkins misses the second time.

    Those Hopkins field goals the difference. Red zone offense still a problem too.

    Matched them everywhere else. Wouldn't be afraid to play the Cowboys in the play offs at all. They're very good but definitely beatable. Cousins brilliant again.

    That's what's going to keep this team out of the playoffs. Not going to get it done racking up big yards if you keep coming away with 3s (or 0s!).

    I'm more confident of making the play offs after that game than before tbh. We probably win that game if Hopkins is on his usual form.

    we definitely have a chance of the playoffs. We actually scored last night but I think Gruden maybe should have went for it on the first field goal attempt. Either way was all very unlucky missing two field goals which would have been massive. I mean if we just had gotten one the pressure on the cowboys would have been immense. Part of the problem though I feel is that in the red zone we are completely predictable, we are going to Reed, end of story. So he needs to spread it round. Garcon is one of the best WR's in the league catching under pressure, Vernon Davis too and Thompson/Jackson/Crowder all have safe hands. I think our OC needs to try to put the ball around more.

    Kirk, unreal again last night. Sign him to a long contract now.

    Another area where they are totally predictable is on 3rd and longs. 99 times out of 100 you're guaranteed a screen pass that goes for about 4 yards. Throw the ball down field for God's sake!!

    I'd prefer they mix it up completely, allow Crowder in the screen pass and Thompson coming out of the backfield and then have Davis and Jackson go deep to spread it, they never seem to spread it out and give their big play makers a chance on 3rd and long.

    on an unrelated note, that throw on third and 1 to Jackson, what a peach. We have a couple of real tough ones coming up in the next two weeks.

    So a must win ahead this weekend, the next two weekends in actual fact are completely must win.

    They pretty much all are now. I reckon they'd have to go 4-1 down the stretch to get in.

    Yeah probably right Looking at the schedule though it is possible. This weekend is a massive one. Three tough away games in a row including last week but with the team playing so well hopefully we can get it done.

    anyone think the Vikings can hand the Cowboys their second loss tonight?

    Johnson's already killing us. 2 games in a row now that the opposition has gone the full field on the opening drive.

    Two 3rd and longs converted on that drive by Arizona too. If they had Sean McVeigh calling plays, they'd have been little screen passes for 3 yard gains.

    This is a shambles. They've had 10 days to prepare for this game and they've come out so flat.

    That was an awful 3 and out. 2 false starts in a row is not acceptable.

    Need to stop them on this drive. Can't go 14-0 down.

    Really hope when Trent Williams is back we put him at LG. Lauvao is a liability and Nsekhe is really good. Put your 5 best players out there.

    Great drive by the D there. Good field position. Need to cash this in.

    So 1st and goal from the 2 and they run it once?

    And yet again another red zone trip that ends with a FG.

    Has Kirk ever completed that fade pass? I don't know why they keep trying it.

    Great start to 2nd half. Nice that they ran it on 2nd and 3rd downs.

    How many times now have they converted on 3rd and 8 plus?

    Redskins defence is a joke. Joe Barry is awful as DC.

    2nd best thing that could've happened there really. At least we have the ball back.

    Feel like no 50/50 calls by the refs have been going our way this year.
