Will try not to repeat what's been said a lot on this board, namely about Winston playing well and the running game and general comments about the secondary snd Smith Sucking. Here are some specific reflections and questions I had:1) What's so unforgiveable about the onside kick is that teams only run about ten to twenty percent of their kick-offs back anyway. For what reason do you start heading back early. Moreover, I told my son (who's a Skin fan) "Watch for the onside kick" the first time they scored. Washington clearly needed momentum and the situation was ripe for it. Inexcusable. We recover that kick and we score probably and game is over.2) Not as a fan but objectively speaking, I didn't see any offensive pass interference on Evans' touchdown pass. Hope at least the league will admit that this call was a mistake. If y'all remember, Evans was called for another O.P.I vs. the Saints that was a non-penalty. What is going on with this stuff because that should only be called in clear situations. What are they specifically looking for cuz I truly don't know.3) Did anyone notice that our defense reverted back to biting hard on the fake hand-off and roll out again. This is the same play that continued to bite us in the butt all of last year but had not seen it this season and thought we had become more disciplined. Cousins' TD run was an example of it, and they ran it at least two other times that I saw, both times getting good results. If I'm the Falcons, I'm running that play at least twice in the first quarter for either a big game or to ensure there's not as much pursuit when they run up the middle.4) When we went up by six, did anyone here really not expect us to lose. I'm so sick of this movie. While I understand the calls for a qb sneak (which hadn't thought of), I was praying we'd do a play action pass on third and if it's not there, then Winston runs up the middle. Was actually calling for it on second down. Either way, you keep the clock running, and Winston can run it. And if you don't get it, a loss of a yards doesn't hurt the kicker. That outside play was one of the worst calls I've seen. (Have we called a qb sneak yet this season?)5) On the Skins' final drive, I did not mind giving up the short passes, but tackle him inbounds please! The corners were playing so far off they were getting ten yard passes with no one around and stopped the clock! They score with 26 second left. Translation: if we'd kept them inbounds, maybe three, they don't have time to score that last play! Serious question: isn't a cardinal rule of blitzing that you should play close up to the receivers so that the quarterback has to make a pinpoint accurate throw. When you blitz and everyone is fifteen yards back then you're rushing the passer but giving him wide open and easy throws to make.6) Someone help me understand the flag where Marpet ( I think) got called for unsportsmanlike conduct which resulted in a scrum. It looked to me that clearly a Redskin was jumping onto one of our players after the play and was roughing him up (which should have been an obvious call), and all Marpet or someone did was to pick him up to protect his teammate. It should have been a Redskin foul or at most offsetting penalties, or was I misreading that? Thanks
