Holy shit those 2 missed FGs must hurt after losing by 5. Especially with the way the redskins iced their own kicker on that first one. Was there a reason given for that timeout? Too much noise where I was, so if the announcers told us, I missed it.
Skins beat us in TOP, yards, and pretty much every stat except the score. Another sloppy game by the rookie QB, but he managed to pull it out.
Morgan Moses (RT) wasn't on the field for the field goal formation and the play clock was almost at 0 when he tried to get onto the field. I guess they figured burning a timeout was the smart play instead of just taking 5 yards and making a ~43 yard FG into a ~48 yard FG.
Of course, ended up icing Hopkins anyways.
Yeah the 2 misses hurt, but the game probably plays out differently if the score is that different from halftime on. Maybe Gruden doesn't try and onside kick with over 9 minutes to go in a one score game, for instance.
