208 in the air to 136
181 on the ground to 76
Only the Redskins could lose with that stat line. Absolute domination on both sides of the ball. Running the ball at will; Portis averaged 6+ yards per carry on 21 carries. The defense only gave up two field goals. It also turned the ball over on the two. I propose that after the offense ran in from the 2 after the turnover had they simply taken three knees and punted the rest of the game we would've won.
Three ball breaking turnovers and horrifying special teams, almost unbelievable that the special teams were SO BAD that a dominating offense and defense couldn't make up for it. Credit to the Rams for accepting our gifts, after their opening drive they didn't throw the game away like they usually do.
There are a couple silver linings here and some sweet sweet schaudenfraud. The first good thing is that we did dominate on both sides of the ball, so really just some ball handling to work on and we're still a very good team. The second is the lesson the Redskins will (hopefully) learn from this. They looked past this game and you can't do that in the NFL. Do the Rams suck? Yes, but they're still an NFL team and you can't sleep on anybody in the NFL. If the Redskins learn that they will be 6-2 going into their bye. Almost making up for the Redskins loss is the Cowboys losing. Huzzah! Losing a defacto home game in Arizona in overtime (that game should never have gone to OT, the refs fucked that game hard) AND losing Tony Romo for a month. Take that chumps. (As I type this New York is also down 2 scores, but the Browns are busy collapsing before the half. Edit: Yes yes that rocked.)
