For those wondering yes a pun is intended with the title.
The Redskins got handled in all three aspects off Sunday's game. They posted a season low 12 points and this was the first game that didn't come down to the last possession. The defense was picked apart like orange chicken from the teeth of a fat guy at Panda Express. The Steelers scored on EVERY possession of the first half. They didn't even punt until the second half. But even in the second half they still failed to contain a strong Steelers offense, giving up 27 points by the end of the game. They also failed to get a single turnover, another first for the defense this season.
The offense was uncharacteristically slow. But it's not because the rookie wonders got shut down. Alfred Morris and RGIII were doing good as usual. It was the 10 dropped passes, most of which were in the end-zone or for third down conversions. Coming in to the game they had a combined 11 drops. They nearly matched it in one game. I don't care if the ball was wet. You have gloves for a reason. If RGIII can sling a wet football into your hands then its dry enough for you to catch it. The drops kept the offense from scoring or sustaining drives, and kept the under-matched defense on the field. It was like watching a college quarterback pick apart a high school team. Simply pitiful and by far the worst game of the season. And its not just scrubs who were dropping passes, starting receiver Leonard Hankerson had a sure touchdown he just let slip, Santana Moss had multiple dropped passes, most of which were for first downs. All culminating in a season worst 12 points for the game.
Even the special teams had problems, the field goal unit had a kick blocked; although it looked like Kai Forbath should've angled it a bit higher since it was only an extra point. Sav Rocca shanked a punt for twelve yards that led to another Pittsburgh score. The punt coverage unit gave up a touchdown to Antonio Brown that was called back by a penalty that wouldn't have affected the play.
The Redskins faltered in all three phases of the game and make it a painful 3 hours of football. Hopefully they can get it together at home against Cam Newton's 1-6 Carolina Panthers.
You thought I was done? Nope, got one more thing I want to get off my chest. DeAngelo Freaking Hall.
I told you guys last week he needs to shut the hell up and play football. This week he did neither.
Dear DeAngelo Hall,
You are a starter in the league's WORST pass defense and have 2 interceptions on the season only because you've gotten beaten so many times that quarterbacks feel safe throwing it your way. Despite this you feel the need to mouth off at some point every game. I'm not sure why, because in the end you keep getting burned for catch after catch. Its a miracle it took 8 weeks for you get penalized for it.
There is no reason for you to be cussing out anyone, much less a referee who has the authority to take your ass out of the game. The ref didn't do anything, he didn't give up catches on third down, you did. Your teammates shouldn't have to keep restraining you game after game because you can't control yourself. Man the hell up, and let your football do the talking. If you like the attention you're getting because of it then pack your bags and head out and chill with T.O and Chad Johnson on the free agent list. There are no roster spots for divas in Washington.
In summary, shut up and play some football.
