I counted two under thrown balls to AJ when he had Norman beat and both could have turned into TDs.

The fumble in OT prevented a FG attempt for the win.

Broken coverage in the secondary (multiple times) led to Redskins scores. I have no idea what was going on back there and I'm fairly sure the secondary guys didn't either the way they got turned around.

Nugent's missed extra point (and I do agree that it's pretty lame for a professional kicker to miss an extra point) was a single point and a single point may have won the game. You can only really say may have won the game because Washington would not have tied it with that FG in the 4th quarter but would have gone for it on 4th down and may have scored a TD to win it in regulation.

All of that said, I have no idea why we didn't upgrade the kicker spot during the off season. Nugent is clearly at the end of the road and was last year.

Marvin Lewis accepts mediocre play which is why we have mediocre play. It's really that simple. Nugent's job has never been on the line that I can remember.

We should blame Alex Erickson for not running back a TD every time.

This loss was on Michael Nugent, he's done it before, and he'll do it again.
