Inactive players include Todd Gurley, of whom Jeff Fisher teased might play during the week. Looks like Tre Mason will get the start. Brian Quick out for the second straight week. Starting to wonder why he wasn't IR'ed. We knew Eugene Sims would be out; I imagine Ethan Westbrooks will get some reps at DE as opposed to using just a 3-man rotation.
Fox broadcast team: Dick Stockton and David Diehl. Hoo boy, don't expect to be kept up to date on down, distance and play results the way Kenny Albert did last week. Side note: the year Stockton started calling NFL games for the networks, Jeff Fisher was a freshman defensive back at USC.
Referee: Ed Hochuli and his guns have been assigned to today's game. Hochuli did not work a Rams game last year. His reputation has tended to outweigh his actual performance in past Rams games.
The prediction: Rams 24-16, but they'd better take better care of the ball than last week. If the Rams lose this one, you can expect them to be predicted to lose here the rest of the season.
FIRST QUARTER
The Redskins win the coin toss, and perhaps wisely, give the Rams the ball first. Benny Cunningham is thankfully returning kicks today but this one's over his head. Play action rollout against the grain to Cook is wide open and he takes it up the sideline for 12. Full house backfield with Mason, Austin and Cook; Mason goes right for 4 behind Cook and Barnes. Mason cuts back for only 1; Cory Harkey couldn't clear the hole and Mason ran into Barnes. 3rd-and-5. Foles gets fine protection from a Greg Robinson pancake block, the line pushes almost all the Redskins past him, so he takes off and... fumbles the ball off his thigh. Foles recovers, but that was a botched opportunity. Poor and short kick by Johnny Hekker, and right to Jamison Crowder, but it's covered very well. Bradley Marquez holds Crowder to a couple. A 38-yard punt, if that.
Washington starts at their 28. Kirk Cousins unloads quickly to Jordan Reed, who's behind James Laurinaitis and Janoris Jenkins for 21. T.J. McDonald stuffs Alfred Morris for a loss of 1, though. The Rams blitz Lamarcus Joyner but Cousins dumps off to Morris for 9-10. Joyner had to come back for the tackle Laurinaitis missed. 3rd-2. With the Ram secondary picking up Washington's trips formation PERFECTLY, Cousins has nowhere to throw, and Aaron Donald beats the guard AND the center for the Rams' first sack of the day. Chris Long bulled Morgan Moses on the play and may also get a piece of that. The play is made, though, by McDonald, Joyner and Marcus Roberson's perfect coverage work. Watch the fake on the punt. Learning a lesson they didn't last year, they kick away from Austin and it's downed at the 11.
Lance Kendricks plucks a high pass in traffic over the middle for 15. Good protection by both tackles. They next try to set up a bubble screen to Mason off a fake flare pass to Austin, but Washington's all over it and Foles dumps it into the ground. Benny Cunningham DROPS a screen pass that looked good for at least 5. 3rd-10 instead. Rodger Saffold gets beaten badly by Jason Hatcher to flush Foles and force an incomplete sideline pass. Nothing doing for the Ram offense so far. Much better punt by Hekker this time, 53 I believe, is fair caught at the WSH28.
They start off with a 35-yard run by the guy I didn't start in my fantasy league. Michael Brockers moved a double-team but Laurinaitis got blocked by the RG and was not there for the fill. Missed high tackle by Rodney McLeod as well. Alec Ogletree, though, beats LG Shaun Lauvao and drops Matt Jones for a loss on a screen. The run defense embarrasses its way right into the game's first TD, though, a 39-yard sprint by Jones. About everything goes wrong on this play you can think of. Aaron Donald missed him in the backfield. Gregg Williams had the double-safety blitz going and Joyner got BURIED on that side by Lauvao on the pull. Chris Long, at RDE this play, got turned inside by the TE. Gee, that never happens. HUGE hole for Jones, and Laurinaitis couldn't get around the center to get outside on Jones. Gee, that never happens. The Rams not showing up a week after a big win. Gee. That. Never. Happens! 7-0 Redskins
VERY discouraging start after last week's high. Benny gets to the 20 from 8 deep. Why not just kneel? Unlike the Redskins all last drive, the Rams (Jamon Brown) whiff on the MLB to start out with a yard Mason loss. Austin gets 6 back on a circle route. Just fell down after the catch, no shake-and-bake. 3rd-5. Rob Havenstein (man-up on Ryan Kerrigan) and Robinson (man-up on Trent Murphy) both get beat, so does Saffold. Foles has Mason open short on a wheel right, but tries to motion him downfield, and Mason doesn't go. This is a play meant to take advantage of Washington overplaying Austin's motion into trips but a lot of execution wasn't there. A lot of the Rams don't appear to be there so far, period. Another POOR punt by Hekker; Crowder has to run up on it at the WSH34. 36 miserable yards. Somebody besides Aaron Donald freaking wake up and start freaking sprinting, huh?
Rams facing almost a crucial stop here. No such thing coming today; Jenkins bites hard on a faked quick screen and gets burned by somebody named Ryan Grant on a go out of the slot for 35. Clutch freaking defense there. Excellent run stop by Trumaine Johnson holds Jones to 1 on the edge. McDonald and, hey! there's Nick Fairley, hold Morris to 3 on a pitch left that's really not his bread and butter. 3rd-6. 4-man rush does not get there, and I think Pierre Garcon reached the ball across the line before Joyner took him down at the 22. Initial spot is at the 22, but he reached across the 21. Yep, Hochuli corrects the spot. Not a bad play by Joyner. The pass rush has gotten too quiet. McDonald does an excellent job to blow up another pitch left for Morris, who's corralled by Quinn, Laurinaitis and Ogletree for a loss. And Hochuli calls Reed for holding Jenkins downfield. 1st-20 at the 31. Plenty of time for Cousins after the center rides Donald down, but he's still rushed into a poor incompletion. Long swallows up Morris on a draw for 1. DBs are 10 yards off the line at the snap, but Jenkins makes an excellent close on Garcon on a drag route that gained a yard at most. That was much more clutch, but the D didn't rise up in time to prevent a long FG by Dustin Hopkins. 10-0 Redskins
Time for the Ram offense to show up. Austin stutter-steps up the middle for 3. A quarter of miserable defense ends with Ricky Jean-Francois beating Saffold on the backside and dropping Mason for no gain. As I scouted last week, the Redskin DBs are not playing very tight out wide. Frank Cignetti might want to try taking advantage of that. Or watching tape the week before the game.
SECOND QUARTER
3rd-7 at the Ram 23. Kerrigan jumps offside to make it 3rd-2. Boy, they're letting centers get away with big head bobs these days, though. Makes no difference. Perry Riley BLOWS UP Cook trying to lead Benny on a sweep left; Benny scrambles around but can only get back to the LOS. They were ten yards off Austin on the right flank, a slant to him is an automatic first down. Make the damn adjustment, Cignetti. The super-crisp and completely awake and prepared Rams next have to blow a timeout because they don't have the right people in on the punt unit. This like the fourth punt already, what the hell can you screw up? The Rams' goodwill from last week's win has gone down the drain faster than Nicole Arbour's career. I hope Ram-shaming isn't punished as hard as fat-shaming is these days. It looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of Ram-shaming today. I'm not alone; Diehl questioned the choice to run behind Cook on 3rd-and-short and humorously sounded really perplexed by it off-mike.
Excellent gunning by Stedman Bailey, who cracks Crowder for no gain at the WSH19. 53 yards by the ever consistent Hekker, who's probably side-footing a 28-yarder next chance he gets. Brockers whips the center to drop Jones for minus-2. The center's name is Korey Lichtensteiger. I'm not typing that name any more today. Quick hitch to Garcon for 3 leaves 3rd-8. 4-man rush doesn't get much done, but Cousins is still nervous enough for a poor throw that should have been picked off by Trumaine Johnson. Fine coverage downfield that time. God, that was right in TruJo's hands. YOU HAVE TO CATCH THAT. The Redskins now burn a TO in punt formation. What the hell is going on today? Poor kick has to roll 5 yards just to get to the 35. I feared running into the kicker but Hochuli, who seems on so far, ruled he fell down on his own.
The Rams start by failing on a play that worked so well last week. Fake end-around to Austin set up a corner route to Cook, who was behind the LBs but Foles back-footed a poor throw behind him. And I'm pretty sure Tre Mason is going to get called for tackling the blitzing DB. Yep, 1st-and-20. It's time to bench Mason in favor of Benny. Mason is giving the Rams next to nothing. At least Benny made up for missed blocks last week by breaking some tackles. Quick hitch to Cook for 7. Foles gets blitz pressure again from Trenton Robinson, who just drew the flag on Mason, and throws a wild screen past Cook, who obviously didn't get enough of a block on him before releasing. Meanwhile, the other DBs were 10 yards off the wide receivers, 5 yards off Austin in the slot. Frank Cignetti was partying all week instead of watching tape, wasn't he? THROW SOME DAMN QUICK SLANTS. Just a 4-man rush on 3rd-long, but Kerrigan beats Havenstein clean to the inside, Saffold continues to do nothing against Hatcher at all, and Foles throws a wild dumpoff to Benny for maybe 2. Somehow the Rams have managed to make the Redskin D look like what the Seahawk D should have looked like last week.
Daren Bates and Cody Davis swarm on Crowder after a 2nd-straight (!) good punt by Hekker. I believe it'll net 47. 'Skins at their 18. TruJo and Mark Barron hold a quick screen to Garcon to 3. Now the Rams bite so hard on play-action Cousins can roll out without anyone within 5 yards of him. Reed pancaked Quinn to start the play, with the cut block they were supposedly looking out for all week in practice, and gets back up to make a 1st-down catch. Contrast that to Cook's blocking today if you will. 2nd-7, Quinn gets blocked about to Bethesda on a handoff to Morris, and gue55-who isn't there for the fill as Alfred runs for another first. The Rams got a lot of laurels last week for beating Seattle. They sure as hell are resting on them. That was the rookie Brandon Scherff mauling Laurinaitis that time. Now with no pass rush AT ALL, Jones leaks out of the backfield for a 17-yard catch. Laurinaitis got completely turned around and just ran blindly deep. Meanwhile, Fairley and Long get completely stood up at the LOS and basically do nothing. This game has been unimaginably disgusting so far. By all means, keep this up, clowns. Cousins gets Donald to jump offside PENALTY NUMBER TWO to put them at the STL38. Fortunately, an obvious hold of Quinn on the edge sends them back to the 48. And that doesn't matter with the shit run defense these clowns are playing this week. Simple handoff to freaking future Hall-of-Famer Matt Jones gains 25 after Moses dominates Will Hayes on the edge and Mark Barron gets completely taken out of the play by Reed.
From enthusiastic playoff contender to disgusting pile of crap in the space of less than a week. These are Jeff Fisher's Rams.
Cousins checks to a draw against a blitz that's been shockingly rare from Williams today. Jones gets 4. 4 more for Jones as Brockers gets moved out of the hole, Long at RDE again gets stuffed by Trent Williams and Donald gets cut blocked and ends up on his knees. 3rd-2, Grant's all alone out of trips in the flat and down to the 6. If Ogletree was supposed to be blitzing there, he sure did a poor job, and he didn't cover Grant, either. Nothing about the Rams' execution or gameplans on either side of the ball is making any sense today. 1st-goal, Donald stops Morris in the backfield. McDonald takes him down at the 4 on 2nd-goal. The game is probably on the line right now.
Goodbye game. Garcon wheels away from Jenkins in the end zone for a 4-yard TD catch. There was definitely a pushoff there, but I think Jenkins played Garcon too much to continue his route to the sideline anyway and got caught on his back foot.
I think Rob Schneider said it best in the cinematic classic Waterboy:
(Is that Jeff Fisher right behind him, btw?)
3:00 till halftime of this trainwreck. Kirk Cousins is 12-for-14 and getting about as much pressure in Washington as Hillary gets from the press corps. Jet sweep for Austin gets 10 behind an actual solid block from Cook and a good one by Bailey downfield. Off play-action, Austin is WIDE OPEN deep but Foles overthrows him MISERABLY. What the fuck was that? I didn't think Kerrigan's pressure against Havenstein and Mason interfered with Foles' throw, but Diehl says it did. Mason gets crunched after a dumpoff in the flat for 2. 2:00 warning. Somebody warn the Rams the Redskins get the ball back to start the 2nd half.
3rd-down pass is through Cook's hands. Will Blackmon had good coverage but there is little excuse not to catch that. 50-yard punt by Hekker with a nice tackle by Alexander, as if that's going to matter the way the defense is playing.
Start the Redskins at their 18. Stockton just announced they've already run for 123 yards. The Rams get extremely lucky that Jay Gruden decides to play this possession very close to the vest and run out the clock. Honestly, the Rams should have started using their timeouts, but we can't expect Jeff Fisher to be any more awake than the rest of his bitterly-disappointing team today. He finally calls one on 3rd-and-7 with 0:37 to play. Jones nearly gets it, with Quinn getting stuffed and surrendering the edge, but Ogletree's stop will get the Rams the ball back.
Tress shanks it Way out of bounds to give what I believe will be the Rams' best field position of the day. Have they even crossed midfield? They'll start this drive at the WSH45. Foles hasn't been on the same page as a downfield receiver yet today, missing Bailey badly. Bailey ran an out, Foles threw a corner. Chris Baker ragdolls Robinson to panic Foles into a wild throwaway. That was a damn 3-man rush.
Typifying the Rams' brilliant play this half, Foles goes over the middle to Cook for 14, and they can't get lined up in time to spike the ball and set up a FG attempt. To say the Rams have played like absolute shit today is an absolute insult to feces everywhere.
17-0 at half
HALFTIME ADJUSTMENTS
Well, find the team that played last week and get THEIR asses on the field. This has been a typical Fisher-era performance where the team doesn't look like it watched any tape at all. Gregg Williams has GOT to get more aggressive on defense. Put blitz pressure on Cousins and make the most-frequently-intercepted QB in the league throw you the ball. His gameplan has been just stupid, all soft coverage and 4-man rushes. His players aren't helping by failing to set any edges against the run, mi55ing too many gap a55ignments and falling victim to the cut blocks they supposedly practiced avoiding all week. But Williams is treating Cousins like he's Russell Wilson. Get after his ass.
I've already suggested offensive adjustments the Rams frankly should have made by now. More Benny in the 2nd half and less Tre. Tre shows no burst and isn't breaking any tackles. He's also getting abused in pass protection. Make the correct personnel move here. The Rams also need to quit playing so much behind the line. The Redskins have been conceding short passes all day, but Cignetti's been finding a way to run even-shorter plays (screens and sweeps) against those formations. It is unconscionable not to be getting Austin the ball when they're laying as far off him as they are. Britt is big enough to take advantage of this, and Bailey is a good enough route-runner to take advantage of this. Take advantage of it. Obviously they've got to block better for Foles, who's got the pass rush in his head right now worse than Sam Bradford ever had it. But I think Benny and a nice diet of quick slants and hitches will help things out. There's still time if the Rams' players and staff alike get their damn heads back in the game.
THIRD QUARTER
Rams were outrushed in the first half 132-17. Greg Zuerlein's FIRST touch of the day results in a touchback. Jenkins shuts down a play-action pass to Grant for a couple. Donald penetrates and drops Morris for a loss on the edge. Lauvao false-starts to leave 3rd-15 at the 15. Joyner blows up a screen to Andre Roberts for the Rams' FIRST 3-and-out of the day. Wonder what happens if the Redskins open that drive on the ground like they should have. Alexander nearly blocks Way's punt, but it still goes 53 after Austin lets it roll 20 yards. He probably couldn't have done much about that with Way barely outkicking his coverage on the fly.
Rams start at their 32. Austin shows the first burst any Ram player has shown on offense all day, taking an end-around and jumping inside a Harkey block for 16. Mason proves me wrong about halftime adjustments by cutting back for 13 on a counter run. Fine down-blocking there by Havenstein and Saffold. Rams in business at the WSH39. The Rams of course foul this momentum up with a Kendricks false start. PENALTY NUMBER THREE Foles took a long time adjusting that play. Then he overthrows Britt on a quick hitch. Oh great, they're working on Tavon on the sideline. Just a cramp, I hope. A screen to Mason fools no one for no gain. 3rd-15. OK, Austin's at least back. The Skins rush only 3, giving Foles time to hit Benny, who breaks a couple of tackles and gets 9. 4th-5 at the WSH34, I'm thinking go for it. Fisher sends in the FG unit. Greg Zuerlein melted down here last year, but he drills it from 52 here to finally put the Rams on the board. Redskins 17-3
Zuerlein's clearly got the boom leg today, so another touchback will start Washington at their 20. Cousins just misses Grant, covered well enough by Jenkins, with a sideline bomb. Late pressure by Donald probably helped. Why not run, though? Out route to Crowder for 7. 3rd-3, Reed runs through McDonald's tackle for 11. NOT clutch. What looks like a big run for Jones only gets 3 because he trips over his fullback.
The pendulum swings the other way, though, when Jones gets the edge but Quinn bludgeons the ball out of his hand for a fumble recovered by McDonald. The Fox sideline reporter asked Jay Gruden if Jones would get the ball more in the 2nd half and Gruden made a prescient comment about ball security. Rams ball just inside midfield! Do something with it!
Mason takes a pitch left and breaks Dashon Goldson's tackle to gain 9. More brilliance, spoken non-ironically this time, ensues. They fake a handoff left to Mason, a jet sweep right to Austin, and with Harkey making a key block in the pocket, Foles steps up and hits Kenny Britt behind obviously sucked-in double coverage for a 39-yard TD! Britt idiotically gets himself PENALTY NUMBER FOUR a taunting penalty after the score, after which Stockton brilliantly (non-ironic again) comments about players who taunt when they're LOSING a damn football game. Shut up and go to the sideline, Britt.
Also, this penalty will be enforced on the kickoff; I wouldn't mind a rule tweak that made it enforceable on the extra point. Imagine if Britt's idiocy forced Zuerlein to hit from 48. He hits the 33-yarder without incident.
Redskins 17, Rams 10
Seems like it's about time for the Redskins to remember how well they ran the ball in the first half. This has been a pretty dumb 2nd-half gameplan so far. Zuerlein's kickoff still makes it to the 6 but Washington brings it tothe 30. Westbrooks nearly gets a hand on a screen for Morris; Jenkins still holds him to 4. Then, of all the people not to block, Quinn gets into the backfield untouched to stop Morris for a loss. 3rd-8. Williams blitzes big on not a blitz down, but Garcon slips on his out cut and Cousins' sideline throw falls harmlessly incomplete. Austin continues to coax terrible punts out of Tress Way, and the Rams will start the next drive from their 34.
Foles slightly overthrows Cook on a catchable play-action pass. Illegal hands to the face on Bashaud Breeland, though. 1st-5 at the 39. An end-around the Chris Givens (?) blows up for a loss of 4 after LB Keenan Robinson shoots the gap unblocked. AND COOK FACE MASKED. PENALTY NUMBER FIVE Much less than Bobby Wagner did to Nick Foles last week, but it's a big 15 yard loss tacked on, making it now 1st-25 at the freaking 24. Arrow route to Bailey is thrown too poorly for him to do much with it; no gain. Dog blitz rushed the throw. FALSE START SAFFOLD, who has not distinguished himself today. PENALTY NUMBER SIX. SECOND AND THIRTY. It was first and five until they went all Fisherball on us. Stockton belatedly reports that Austin has gone to the locker room. Beautiful. Givens gets about 7 back on a shallow drag. The Austin injury explains why Givens was the one running that end-around. Cook fights pretty hard for about 10 but that's way short of the marker. Hekker knocks another 50-yard punt. Hochuli holds his weekly staff meeting after the play. PENALTY NUMBER SEVEN on Benny for an illegal substitution keeps the Rams from pinning Washington inside the 10 after an illegal block in the back. Benny was apparently late getting on the field, and WHAT THE HELL is going on with the punt team today? Another good punt by Hekker, though, returned by Crowder to the 19.
Also, good sideline reporting by Kristina Pink; Austin's getting an IV for dehydration and will return.
AND WE ARE RE-KICKING BECAUSE ISAIAH PEAD WAS ILLEGALLY OUT OF BOUNDS ON PUNT COVERAGE. PENALTY NUMBER EIGHT That's four penalties in like a minute! This never ends well for the punting team. TWO MORE FLAGS after Hekker puts a nice punt out of bounds at the 20. At least those are holding flags on the Redskins, who will now start from their 10, which is where they would have been after the first punt. Good job by Hekker with all those re-punts.
Washington is determined to keep throwing - 6 to Garcon with Jenkins on him quickly. Jones punks Ogletree for 4 and a first down. Cousins throws a screen to Jones for 7 over Donald's heavy rush. Barron and McDonald get Jones about a yard short as the quarter ends.
FOURTH QUARTER
3rd-1 Redskins at their 29. Jones gets the 1, spins off his own blocker and runs through McLeod for another 9. NOT CLUTCH DEFENSE THERE. Bad fill by Ogletree, who got blocked that time. Quinn gives up the edge again as Jones sweeps for 4. Cousins sprints out of trouble from Quinn and a blitzing Ayers, but Lauvao clearly held Donald to turn Cousins loose, and Hochuli's crew saw it and called it. 2nd-16. Big and correct call there. Ogletree and Barron shut down an outside run for Morris for a couple. Not sure why they're running him outside so much. BIG 3rd-14 now. 4-man rush does not get there but Cousins settles for an underneath pass to Reed. Way continues to kick way short of Austin, starting the Rams at their 20.
Jet sweep right to Austin for 11 behind Cook's block. Next play a blitzer jumps into the neutral zone right over center without a call. I was expecting it to be blown dead there. The Rams would have got the call if they'd reacted. Kerrigan then whips Havenstein and grabs Mason behind the line. Two other Redskins jump in and the ball pops out, but Bailey saves the game by diving on the loose ball. 2nd-10. Quick out to Britt - HEY! They're finally looking for those! - gets 5. But on 3rd-and-5, Trent Murphy embarrasses Robinson with a quick rip move to flush Foles, who gets very indecisive on the run but also gets no help from his receivers and eats it for I think a minimal gain. Crowder returns the punt 10 yards to the 23 as I am amazed that Hekker's leg hasn't completely worn out today. About 10:00 left.
I'm sure the real game is over by now. No spoilers! Chris Long makes a play! Held Morris to 1. Jones is the more dynamic runner by far, but they have to trust Morris to take better care of the ball. Washington next stupidly tries to go back to the air, and Westbrooks creates a sack for Fairley by burning Lauvao and forcing Cousins to step up into trouble. Only the Rams' second sack, but it comes at an excellent time. 3rd-13. PENALTY NUMBER NINE is on Westbrooks, offside. The difference from the one they didn't call on Washington? The Redskin o-line reacted. 3rd-8. That penalty proves to be a killer when the 4-man rush doesn't get there and Cousins hits Chris Thompson for a first down, with Laurinaitis and Joyner caught too deep in coverage. At 21-for-25, Cousins is in NFL-record territory. Jones, who's over 100 yards, cuts back right into Donald for no gain. Despite that stop, you realize Le'Veon Bell's running for a country mile next week, right? Cousins hits Reed in the flat to beat a blitz, but Ogletree and McLeod hold him to 5. Critical 3rd-and-5 with 6:00 left.
And the Rams are once again NOT clutch on defense. It's another soft 4-man rush, no blitz, NO PRESSURE, Laurinaitis has to vacate the middle to pick up the back, and Reed burns Ogletree with an inside move and Cousins hits him over the middle in stride for 29 yards.
This one's over, and was over from the start. The Rams didn't come loaded for bear and Gregg Williams didn't bring his gun anyway. This defensive performance has been disgusting and pathetic and is the same old roller coaster ride this mediocre team took its fans on last year.
Make a damn big play and prove me wrong.
Jenkins is out injured.
Quinn gets PENALTY NUMBER TEN for a facemask, that while obvious, wasn't any worse than what Foles got on his TD run last week. Apparently Ogletree facemasked as well?!?!? PENALTY NUMBER ELEVEN Ogletree grabbed Morris underneath the back of his helmet, which I've seen defenses GET AWAY WITH ALL THE TIME and not get flagged.
Put the Redskins at the 15 and stick a fork in the worthless Rams. They stop Morris a couple of times but give fucking Jones the edge again and he barrels down inside the 5. Robert Quinn has just been a disgrace in run defense today, clearly sealed off by the TE here. Put the Redskins at the 4 and cancel your reservations for the Rams' playoff parade. Fisher stops the clock at 2:43 on 2nd-and-goal. THE REDSKINS HAVE HAD THE BALL FOR OVER SEVEN MINUTES. Jones sweeps left for a pretty easy and clinching 3-yard TD. Quinn was dominated on the edge by TE Derek Carrier AGAIN, which lets Lauvao pull out front untouched, and Laurinatis and Roberson can't get around that big (m)ass to get to Jones in time.
The Rams were supposed to own this game in the trenches but have been a complete disgrace there instead. Enjoy another 6-10 season, you bunch of overrated clowns.
24-10 Washington
Britt nearly makes a brilliant deep sideline catch that Foles barely got off after Kerrigan beat Havenstein again. Swing to Benny; he breaks a tackle for 5. Cook makes a fine grab on a short out for the 1st. Benny, who should have been getting the ball a lot and a lot earlier, breaks a tackle and gets 10 on a dumpoff, out to the Ram 41 with 2:00 left. Still hard to feel good about the Rams' chances unless the Redskins make a sudden trade for Jamaal Charles.
DROP by Benny, which was actually the best play; he would have had 3 at most. Now a DROP by Bailey. You guys didn't have to wait till now to prove you didn't care today; WE ALREADY KNEW. Kerrigan and Hatcher flush Foles again and he nearly gets picked off by another d-lineman, Preston Smith. 4th-10.
Send in the fat lady. Maybe she can block. Robinson gets beat by Chris Baker on a stunt and Foles THROWS THE FOURTH DOWN PASS AWAY. That's the kind of brilliance (IRONIC) we've gotten from these guys today.
If I gave a shit about Kroenke, I'd tell him not to pay for these clowns' plane fare home.
24-10 final
