Jay Gruden Blasts Redskins After Loss To Cardinals

The offense has shown it can score, but whether the Redskins’ defense can be good enough to get the team to the playoffs is in serious doubt.

“And I don’t like the way our offense answered that with two penalties in the first drive and having to punt”, Gruden said.

Washington (6-4-1) quarterback Kirk Cousins is on pace to produce better numbers than he did in 2015, and he hopes to prove that his breakout season in 2015 was not a fluke. They’ve been underachieving all year. There could be some fun encounters with the Arizona secondary, namely Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson. “It looked like we picked up where we left off previous year”. At 5-6-1, Arizona now finds itself in the thick of a race that became much more intriguing Sunday as three East Division teams – Philadelphia, New York and Washington -all went down.

But that sample size isn’t so small anymore with just four games remaining.

“We ideally would like to get that running game going a little bit more – more touches for Robert because he’s been very good as far as running the football. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but if you don’t try, you don’t ever win”. “Today, we just couldn’t do it”. “That’s all I know”. This marked the second consecutive game that Jackson has recorded a catch of 50-yards or more.

“Sometimes the bear gets you”, Lauvao said. “You can’t give one up down the stretch, and it’ll be another big week on the road (at Miami) this week”. The players seemed to be well prepared-the offense didn’t miss a beat when starting center Spencer Long left the game with a concussion.

He thought he held his own. There’s no telling how long Long will be out. And running back Matt Jones is a forgotten figure after entering the season as the starter despite a mediocre rookie year.

Johnson finished with 175 total yards and two touchdowns. However, the production Davis enjoyed came against the Eagles, who are riding games from TE duds like Jesse James, Jared Cook and Austin Hooper (and a zilch from Gary Barnidge week one).

“It’s great”, Fitzgerald said. “All the hard work is finally paying off”. For the first time in 4 games, “Fat Rob” was limited to under 100 yards, racking up just 37 in the loss to Dallas. Just ask his players.

Josh Norman saved one touchdown by breaking up a pass intended for Floyd.

“He’s aggressive”, Norman said.

It’s getting to the point where you can say the same thing about Jamison Crowder. The last time the Cowboys lost came in Week 1, so a match-up with them nearly seems like a guaranteed defeat.

The Cardinals presented Washington with their biggest challenge of the season, and the offense didn’t live up to the bill.

Quarterback Carson Palmer 30-46 for 300-yards and three touchdowns.

And Nelson’s was the spectacular one.

“I’ve had a few drops”, Nelson said.

That gave the Cardinals an eight-point lead with 1:56 left.
