Chris Thompson down. Doesn’t look good. Another big blow.

And look at the big balls on Gruden on the very next play.

Last 2 minutes of the 1st half killing the ‘Skins again,

Ok, so not quite a red zone situation but the first trip inside NO’s 25 ends in the all too familiar FG.

Rob Kelley to the IR. Some bloke off Philly’s practice squad signed to replace him.

According to Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post, 20 team have record of at least .500 at FedEx Field but the Redskins aren’t one of them!

The life of a Redskins fan. Yesterday was a game we easily could have won. It's terribly frustrating. I like your optimism Jack but I think the Saints will rip us apart, they have a load of ball hawks, I expect them to turn us over 2/3 times and destroy us with that run game, quick passing from Brees.

jack presley

One other thing that has been annoying me all season is the toss back to the RB. Hey seem to do it once or twice a game and I don’t think I’ve seen it work yet.

It’s probably ok if you have a good run game and an OL that is able to create holes but when you have neither of those I find it bizarre to toss the ball back to the RB who starts his run 6-7 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Never ends well.

jack presley

Defense was very poor when it mattered. Kirk was poor too (although not helped by his receivers). Terrible play calls on the 3/4 and 1s towards the end.

As I said earlier, I can’t figure out this team at all. They’ll probably win against the Saints next week.

This game is bonkers

Redskins 1/3 in the red zone today. The Vikings are 5/5.

Kirk’s throws seem a bit off today. Not by much but enough to not get the desired result.

Another ugly throw results in an interception that will more than likely lead to a Viking TD.

I’ll never understand this team. Last week the defense played out of its mind. This week it’s getting ripped to pieces.

Amazing catch by Harris earlier.

Long injury list again but only a couple definitely 'Out'. Kind of weird to be happy to see 'questionable' on the list

I’ll have to lay off critising KC this week. He was great on that last drive and also made a couple of great throws earlier when he was getting nailed.

Having to operate behind an OL with 4 backups must have been tough and he was getting killed out there at times but he stuck in there.

And with burgundy pants as well..!!!!

Superb performance, especially from the D. And the offense stepped up at the end when it mattered. Got help from Seattle with penalties Blair Walsh but considering who they were missing, they deserved a bit of luck.

jack presley

Nskehe and Nicholson active but not in uniform. So only 44 players available to play today.

There are too many Out and Doubtfuls on this list for my liking.

I’m always hearing about how good his stats are and how he’s up at the top in rating and yards etc. but there’s an saying in darts “scoring’s for show, doubles for dough” and I think this can be applied to Kirk and the Redskins offense.

They move the ball from their own 20 to the opponent’s 20 and this is where most of Kirks great stats are accumulated. But the stats are misleading as too many drives stall in the red zone and at least some of that has to be on Kirk.

Some of it is no doubt about it. But we have had this argument before in relation to the redzone. The OC does the same thing almost all the time and thats run it twice, fail and then try to throw it to Reed.

If you are that predictable all the time its tough to score. Surely Crowder on slants or Doctson on a post has to be a viable option occasionally? Or even dump it off to Thompson on an underneath route.

We're utterly hopeless in the redzone compared to everywhere else. I am even getting frustrated typing about it. so many games have been lost because of it.

As you know, I’m not his biggest fan but he’s all we have I don’t like the alternative of having to start from scratch with someone else next year so I think it’s him or nothing next season.

As he’s under the franchise tag, they can’t make a deal with him until after the Super Bowl and I’m sure there’ll be plenty of twists and turns in the will he/won’t he sign saga before then.

I know SF are out of the running now now and they were probably the favorites to land him but there are still plenty of teams who would be interested in signing him.

Would the transition tag be an option? See how serious other teams in paying him.

I wouldnt say SF are out of the running for him. Seems like a smart move by SF, have a look at Garrapolo. If he's any good they can sign him and trade him for picks to help the rebuild. If he's no good he is a better option than they have now.

Transition tag wont work in my opinion. Cardinals, Giants, Browns and possibly Jags are all looking for a QB and he could win with the Jags soon.

I think I would try our best to sign him. He's passionate, he makes bad throws but what Qb doesnt and same as you I'm not sure about him under pressure but I definitely dont want to start again.

Yeah I think they’re done. 6 wins max I’d say now. It’s alright saying ‘next man up’ but at some stage it just isn’t possible with the players they have healthy. Pity. At 2-1 the season had plenty of potential.

Should have won the first game against Philly and the game against Kansas. We could have easily won the second game against Philly too and last week's loss to Dallas, the block field goal changed the whole game.

Injuries definitely derailed us.

Now .. what do we do about Kirk?

Is our season over yet? Probably is after this weekend, although being the redskins this is normally where Kirk pulls out a monster game and beats the Seahawks.

It’s all up and down unfortunately but when you’ve no OL you’re up against it from the get go. But yeah, that drive stalling and having to take the FG that was blocked changed the game completely.

I heard Kirk being interviewed yesterday and he was saying the first time he met one of the new backup linemen was in the dressing room before the game.

Sad to see Mack Brown leave as I don’t rate Rob Kelly and would have liked to see him get a shot.

One less team in the mix now for Cousins with the NE/SF trade but I still see him walking next season.

Most frustrating team to watch. But with the injuries we had last weekend hardly surprising we lost. Three massive losses. We dont have enough at WR and again have no running game. Pryor does not look like he is ready for this level of competition will take some time to up his game IMO. Rob isnt match ready yet but never looks likely to break out a big run, Thompson is class but he cant do it all on his own. Doctson, Crowder and Reed have been terrible.

Vernon Davis is our best pass catcher outside of Thompson. Cousins... he makes some terrible reads and cant do anything with his feet when he actually has decent mobility. Not sure what he is doing some of the time. He breaks free and instead of taking off upfield he looks to try to throw again, that happened on at least 2 sacks at the weekend.

I'd take an L this week if it gave us another bye week :P no team can compete with all those injuries, specially on the OLine.

The blocked field goal was huge for me. Then the weather kicked in and it made coming from behind even tougher. Passing game is so up and down, it's insane.

I don't know what to make of that game last night. With all the players missing before the game even started and then them losing a couple of others in the first half, they shouldn't have had a chance to win that game and I was expecting a loss but they actually could have and maybe even should have won the game.

But as usual (and I'm like a scratched record here), the inability to turn good drives into TDs killed them again and a few stupid mistakes and they let another one slip away.

Gonna be tough now, Seattle on the road then Minnesota and NO, could be 3-7 in a few weeks.
