The rest of the game is next to meaningless.
I don't blame the new coach. The Marvin Mess will take time to fix. I'm all into the new coach and NEW DEY. not seize the dey, that stinks...instead of who dey, NEW DEY, as people on this site came up with.
I'm hoping 1st string looks better in preseason game 3 first half. If they don't, it could be a real beating in Seattle when the games count. So far no Blocking, No Tackling, Too many O Line penalties.
This was NOT a win. Better luck next week. GO BENGALS.
That first string drive against Chiefs was better than 1st quarter against Redskins. This game was a step backwards. The First Quarter O Line was just Awful. I don't see how the new coaches can be celebrating that.
Run game, we have no run game. The O Line doesn't block, just as last few years. Mixon or none will gain yards with no run blocking. No run game means defenses will tee off on our QB and passing game. With no run blocking, this team is doomed. They must develop some run blocking. The 1st String had none last night.
There's a lot here that I think you're wrong about, TBH.
The only thing I think was genuinely disappointing yesterday was the play of the first team offense, but even then I don't think I'd put that on the offensive line. I thought they did pretty well in pass protection.
Our defense gave up one TD. Our second string was out there with their first team offense at one point and still stopped them. Washington isn't exactly KC on offense, but that's still much needed improvement.
The running game has been flat, but I would hope people realize that we're basically trying to run the ball with our 5th, 6th, and 7th string RBs out there. I guess you could say that Mixon and Bernard didn't do much last night but it's not like they had much of a chance to show anything.
