Why don't we run that normally? SMH.
Whenever i step outside, somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.
'cause everyone thinks they're right,
And nobody thinks that there just might
Be more than one road to our final destination--

Its the offense they play. The Vikings have the 3rd (I believe) lowest yard per attempt in the league. Who do they have that can get deep?

Sorry but, lame excuse. The Redskins players don't have super-power feet. All players are on the same field.
it isnt an excuse yezzir its just an observation you dont have to agree I just stated what I see . Lots of teams play awesome on slippery grass fields we don't . I am not suggesting thats why we are getting beat .

I loved the expression on Frazier's face after Ponder threw the INT to Williams... Can't blame him for that, but at the same time it just goes to show playing it safe isn't always playing it safe.

I swear, if the camera ever pulled back to show the entire field there are like 3 Viking WR's just standing all alone down the field somewhere on every play. The Redskins defense is selling out to stop the short stuff. There have to be more opportunities open down the field.

Is there something resembling a blitz in our defensive playbook?

Let Harvin catch the ball 20 yards downfield instead of running thru traffic and see what happens

Seems to me lots of other teams are able to do it with less than stellar receivers.

I really get tired of this criticism... as if being emotional on the sidelines makes one a better coach.

Bud Grant, Tom Landry, and Chuck Knox might take issue with that assumption.

Or those three field goals instead of touchdowns earlier in the game.

My bad, sorry buddy. You're right, we're not playing well on this grass.
