Ah, Jim Haslett... lol. I'm rooting for you guys to break that record. Take that distinction off of us, and for Haslett to do it would be double nice, lol.

den has had bad luck drafting RBs lately, and its ironic its a weak spot in their O...funny they couldve drafted martin

They could have gotten McCoy over Moreno but everybody wanted Moreno in that draft. Broncos picked Ball over Lacy due to durability but it seems pretty pointless to have a healthy player that sucks.

And our D is on pace to give up the most yards in NFL history. Seriously, 4 years in the 3-4 and we're still sucking this bad? Just fire Him Haslett aka Haslett them score already...


I've watched the Skins/Lions game four times now, including All-22. I decided to count what I considered to be missed tackles. I counted 16 for sure missed tackles by Washington and another 5 that could have been stops but probably aren't technically missed tackles. Three happened on the Joique Bell touchdown. I had four each for Meriweather and Amerson. Detroit had 5, three of them by Rashean Mathis.

I thought the Washington offense looked a lot better than in prior weeks. The two turnovers, both of which were terrible errors by RG3, really cost them. He was definitely moving better, and the speed on the outside gave Detroit trouble.

Yeah the tackling is just a joke. I'm not sure WTF is the issue there. I mean I don't even know if you can blame Haslett, if the guys are in position to tackle but aren't tackling that might be more on the players. Just got too many guys trying to get on Sportscenter and make the big hit instead of fundamental wrapping around. Brandon Merriweather and Deangelo Hall are the biggest culprits of this. I'm so sick of both of them.

The offense looked better but RG3 is still missing guys and not seeing the field. There were open receivers he flat out didn't see at all. Hopefully he continues to get better, we have no chance of doing anything this year with an RG3 less than 100%.

Detroit vs Chicago is going to be a highly anticipated game. It will push the Lions to higher heights and belief that did not have, until this game. However, they need Reggie Bush at 100% or close to it to accomplish this task. The bears know Reggie, he always has big games against them. But I don't know of the injury status at this point.
