Sulk: Panthers 33, Redskins 20.



 That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues"


Why must there always be a problem?--George Costanza

The good lady wife says there is no time to sulk.  There's bottles to clean and whatnot.  I say, look, I'm a Washington Redskins fan.  I'm gonna sulk.  Oh, yeah, I'm gonna sulk big time.  There's gonna be sulking up in here.

We have John Beck as QB.  Two starting linemen out.  Hightower, out. Moss and Cooley, out. Fletecher, out. Should we be cutting this team real slack, and we're just not capable of it?  Nationals fans cut the Nats slack.  Are we incapable of cutting the Skins a reasonable amount of slack?

Why can't we recover a damn fumble when our guys around the loose ball at the goal line outnumber their guys 3-1?  When Orakpo runs into Cam Newton's back at full speed, why doesn't the ball pop out?  What's the deal, physics?!  This is bullshit!  Dude has a mere four fingers on the ball--his helmet is about to fly off!

Stephen Bowen and Brian Orakpo both took the blame, as a defense, for the loss.  Damn right.   Its supposed to be a turnover causing defense.  With 4 linebackers, you give up some rushing yards, but you gain speed when rushing the passer from the outside, and you create more opportunities to double and triple up on ball carriers, which is supposed to knock the ball loose.  8 turnovers in 6 games is terrible, and its particularly terrible when the defense knows that the offense stinks.

John Beck played pretty well at times.  If he plays that well or a little better, the team can win some games.  But holy crap, Kyle Shanahan, give him a chance.  Why have a shotgun formation on every single third down?  So damn stupid.  Have you ever played poker before?

3-3.  Not the end of the world, and I refuse to be all "resigned" and go "same ol' Redskins."  I will not do that.  I will not do that until Mid-November, OK?  We're gonna kick the Bills' ass.  No.  Its going to be really weird.  But we're gonna win 26-20.

Finally, our new official RClub photographer took some great shots.
