Bengals Vs. Redskins 2012: 'We Are Who We Thought We Were'

The Redskins 38-31 loss to Cincinnati was a back-and-forth battle which resulted in plenty of excitement and frustration for Redskins fans.

Plenty of community members at SB Nation's Redskins blog Hogs Haven were quick to blame the defense for the loss, but reactions ranged. Hogs Haven author Tiller56 summed up the loss saying the Redskins are exactly what some feared they would be.

We are who we thought we were...............seriously!

Our worst nightmares came true during our home opener to the Cincinnati Bengals and their porous defense, but our Redskins were the ones left looking like a sieve after a 38-31 beating at the hands of Andy Dalton and A.J. Green.

Some community members are predicting doom and gloom just three weeks into the season.

Sooooooo....

Oline sucks. Secondary sucks. No draft picks, no money to attract top talent for the next 2 years at least. I thought Hall was supposed to be in the slot. Apparently someone told him he can still cover #1 receivers. Yeah right. RG3 still looks legit. He drove his team down the field when the line gave him time. It’s something you want to see out of him now, not in a couple of years. Someone has to tell me how we go from 1st and 10 to 3rd and 45 in a matter of seconds. Who had that 15 yard penalty? We won’t be able to contend before at least 4 years.

Rant time!!!

Redskins players are dropping like flies. Polumbus & Black are going to get RG3 killed. The pass rush was not existent in the 2nd half. The entire 2ndary played like they were practice squad players. No WR could create separation at the minimal times RG3 had time in the pocket. 3rd & long will doom this defense. Hall covering the QB while Gomes covering AJ Green was priceless.

by LA11 on Sep 23, 2012 3:17 PM PDT

While plenty of members were angry, at least two were looking on the positive side ... sort of.

Tsk, tsk, tsk . Such pessimism.

Listen. All we need are some guys who can block, some who can cover and some who can get to the passer. We have everything else!

by BobbyD1978 on Sep 23, 2012 3:18 PM PDT

Take a deep breath everyone...

We have a QB. WE HAVE A QB. Chill. Refs suck, our backup tackles suck, our secondary is playing badly. But chill out y’all!

Trent Williams Injury: MRI Negative On Redskins' Left Tackle

Not only did the Washington Redskins lose their home opener to the Cincinnati Bengals, 38-31, on Sunday, but they were hit with a number of injuries as well. Cornerback Cedric Griffin, left tackle Trent Williams and running backs Evan Royster and Roy Helu all suffered injuries in the loss.

When speaking to the media on Monday, head coach Mike Shanahan provided some insight on the extent of the injuries. Shanahan confirmed that Williams had suffered a bone bruise on his right knee. The left tackle was injured early in the first quarter and tried to return multiple times before finally staying out of the game in the third quarter.

Griffin's injury was to his hamstring, Royster strained his patella tendon and Helu was battling a nagging turf toe injury, all three of which were classified as day-to-day issues.

The Redskins will try to rebound from consecutive losses when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Sept. 30 at 4:25 p.m. ET.

Kyle Shanahan On Refs Incident: 'I Conducted Myself In The Wrong Way'

Washington Redskins' offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has issued a a statement after he erupted in an argument with replacement officials after Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In a statement issued through the team, Shanahan said:

"I was frustrated, and in the process of trying to get some answers from the officials, I conducted myself in the wrong way. I ask our plays to hold themselves to a high standard and be accountable and I know that I'm accountable for my actions as well.

Shanahan, the son of head coach Mike Shanahan, was given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the closing moments of the Redskins' 38-31 loss to the Bengals and was in a heated argument with the officials. Shanahan was seen after the game running to catch up with one of the officials as he continued to yell and argue.

The NFL will be reviewing Shanahan's conduct to determine if he will be fined or suspended for his conduct.

Redskins Vs. Bengals: For The Redskins Defense, Too Many Big Plays Allowed

The Redskins loss to the Bengals came down to one thing: The defense simply allowed too many big plays. See what players and coaches said in the aftermath of a 38-31 loss to Cincinnati.

Kyle Shanahan Faces NFL Review After Yelling At Replacement Refs

Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan will have his behavior reviewed by the NFL after verbally accosting the officials who called his team's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after the game.

After a contentious argument resulted in Shanahan, the son of head coach Mike Shanahan, being charged with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with seven seconds left, Shanahan followed the referees into the tunnel. There, he expressed his displeasure:

ESPN 980 reported that Shanahan said: "You have no (expletive) balls, you are a (expetiving expletive.)"

The replacement referees in charge of the game had badly mishandled the final few seconds of play, initially incorrectly assessing the Redskins with a 10-second runoff that would have ended the game before correcting themselves. Shanahan initially argued with the referees while trying to get them to make the correction, but something he said triggered the unsportmanlike conduct penalty, which was then marked out as a 20-yard penalty instead of only 15 yards.

Shanahan will probably face a fine as the league tries to protect the officials refereeing games until the regular referees return from a strike.

Bengals Vs. Redskins Blog Reaction: 'Our Worst Nightmares Came True'

The Washington Redskins were riding high after beating the New Orleans Saints two weeks ago, but a pair of losses later and the fanbase's optimism is tempered.

Redskins fans are obviously still excited about Robert Griffin III, who threw for 221 yards while leading the team in rushing, but the team's offense wasn't enough as the defense gave up 38 points to the Cincinnati Bengals. Redskins blog Hogs Haven had more negatives then positives to take away from the home opener.

Our worst nightmares came true during our home opener to the Cincinnati Bengals and their porous defense, but our Redskins were the ones left looking like a sieve after a 38-31 beating at the hands of Andy Dalton and A.J. Green.

The secondary allowed Dalton to throw for 328 yards and three touchdowns, and that's not including the 73-yard touchdown thrown by receiver Mohamed Sanu on a trick play for the Bengals' first touchdown.

For the third week in a row we allowed an opposing quarterback to carve up our secondary like a Thanksgiving turkey. So far on this young season, the Redskins defense has allowed 101 points, 955 passing yards and 10 passing touchdowns. This is not acceptable!

The Redskins might do better next week against Josh Freeman, who completed 10 of 28 passes and threw a pick this past weekend against Dallas.

Redskins Injury Report: Trent Williams Awaiting MRI

The Washington Redskins' starting left tackle Trent Williams will have an MRI Monday after hurting his right knee early in the team's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday.

Williams, the team's most prominent offensive lineman, re-entered the game after hurting his knee on the team's first offensive series, but left again in the second half. Williams reported that while he was fine moving to his left, he had trouble going to the right, and that he left the game for "precautionary reasons." It's unclear how serious the injury is to the man responsible for protecting Robert Griffin III, although Williams clearly felt comfortable allowing himself to continue playing at least temporarily in the game Sunday.

Evan Royster, who seemed like a candidate for a starting tailback position in training camp, sprained his knee in the fourth quarter and did not return. He only has five carries on the season behind Albert Morris.

A pair of Redskins backup cornerbacks also left the game Sunday, both with hurt hamstrings: Cedric Griffin is listed as a backup to DeAngelo Hall, while Crezdon Butler is a third-stringer.

The Redskins started the second half quickly, marching down the field for a touchdown on the first drive after the break. Alfred Morris punctuated the 80-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown run.

After the defense forced a three-and-out from the Bengals, Griffin III and the Redskins went 86 yards on nine plays to tie the score at 24.The rookie quarterback hit Santana Moss for a 3-yard touchdown with 3:29 left in the quarter, and Billy Cundiff's extra point made it 24-24.

Bengals Vs. Redskins Score Update: Washington Trails After First Quarter, 14-7

It was a mixed first quarter for the Washington Redskins' defense against the Cincinnati Bengals, as they were burned for two long touchdown passes. But they responded by scoring the Redskins' first points on an interception. The Redskins trailed the Bengals, 14-7, after one quarter of Washington's home-opener.

The Bengals jumped out to an early lead, scoring on the first play from scrimmage. Mohamed Sanu took the shotgun snap, faked a handoff and hit A.J. Green streaking down the middle for a 73-yard touchdown.

The Redskins evened things up on a defensive touchdown when pressure up the middle forced Andy Dalton to throw a wobbly, misguided swing pass right into the diving arms of Rob Jackson who landed in the end zone for the touchdown.

A bad sign for the defense came when cornerback Cedric Griffin had to come out of the game with an injured hamstring. His return is being called questionable.

The Bengals took a 14-7 lead on another long touchdown, 48 yards from Andy Dalton to Armon Binns.

Washington's offense gained just 43 yards in the first quarter.

Trent Williams Injures Right Knee, Leaves Game Vs. Bengals

A slow start for the Washington Redskins against the Cincinnati Bengals got worse when offensive tackle Trent Williams appeared to hurt his right knee. His return is questionable.

Williams injured his knee when attempting to plant his foot to make a block. It buckled in the turf, leaving him in serious pain.

He was tended to by trainers and helped off the field. After being looked at on the trainers table, he has started to test it out by walking around on the sideline, which is obviously a good sign.

Bengals vs. Redskins: Game Time, TV Schedule, Injury Updates And More

Though the Washington Redskins will be without wide receiver Pierre Garcon, rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III will be looking to lead the offense to a better outing Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals than they had in Week 2 against the St. Louis Rams. Like the Rams, the Bengals sport a defense that is better than advertised, and Griffin should have his hands full.

But if building on his performance last week is all that Griffin is looking to do (outside of winning), then there's a solid chance he'll be able to do so. He threw for just 206 yards in a Week 2 loss, and if nothing else, he's shown that he's motivated going forward. Many of the experts are siding with Washington for this game, and it generally all centers around Griffin and his playmaking ability.

That being said, Andy Dalton has A.J. Green at his disposable, which is much more impressive than, say, Santana Moss. The Cincinnati offense might just be able to keep up and put up some points against Washington's defense.

Game Date/Time: Sunday, Sept. 23, 1:00 p.m. ET

Location: FedEx Field, Landover, Md.

Pierre Garcon Reportedly Out For Redskins Vs. Bengals

The Washington Redskins will need to take on the Cincinnati Bengals without wide receiver Pierre Garcon, as ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that he is officially out for Sunday's Week 3 matchup. Garcon was listed as doubtful on the team's official injury report Friday, after being a limited participant in practice all week. Garcon is presently recovering from a foot injury.

Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III is still establishing who his favorite targets are, but it's clear that Garcon will be missed regardless. In Week 1, Griffin passed for 320 yards and looked dominant, but when Garcon was absent in Week 2 against the St. Louis Rams, Griffin threw for just 206 yards. Garcon had four receptions for 109 yards, including a touchdown, in Washington's Week 1 win.

It's likely that Joshua Morgan and the young Leonard Hankerson will get more looks with Garcon out, while Santana Moss' spot on the depth chart has never been in doubt. There's also unheralded rookie Aldrick Robinson, who managed to snag four passes for 52 yards in Week 1.

Pierre Garcon Injury: Redskins Receiver Doubtful For Bengals Matchup

Coach Mike Shanahan has said that Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon is doubtful for Week 3’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to John Keim.

The wideout missed last week’s loss to the Rams with a foot injury, and was a limited participant in practice this week.

Before leaving Washington’s Week 1 win, Garcon racked up four receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown, including an 88-yard touchdown reception.

Quarterback Robert Griffin III will miss Garcon’s presence. Griffin passed for 320 yards in Week 1, and just 206 in Week 2.

This is Pierre Garcon’s first season with the Washington Redskins, after spending four seasons in Indianapolis with the Colts.

Filling in for Garcon, Joshua Morgan, Leonard Hankerson, and Santana Moss are likely to receive most of Griffin’s targets.

The Redskins are currently 1-1, and finished last season at 5-11.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon was limited in practice on Thursday due to a nagging foot injury, according to head coach Mike Shanahan. Garcon sustained the injury in the team's Week 1 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Shanahan said that the area is still sore and that it has lingered longer than he initially thought it would.

Garcon recorded four receptions against the Saints totaling a game-high 109 receiving yards, including the 88-yard touchdown where he sustained the foot injury. He was unable to play against the St. Louis Rams in Week 2.

In addition to Garcon, safety Brandon Meriweather and cornerback Josh Wilson were also limited in practice on Thursday. All three players were limited in practice on Wednesday as well.

The Washington Redskins will try to earn a victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Bengals Vs. Redskins: Pierre Garcon, Brandon Meriweather, and Josh Wilson All Limited Wednesday

The Washington Redskins are preparing for their Week 3 tilt against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon.

Unfortunately for Mike Shanahan's team, they might have to do without a few key members on both sides of the ball.

After missing the contest against the St. Louis Rams last weekend, Pierre Garcon is listed as a limited participant in practice as he tries to return from a foot injury. The ailment was suffered in the first half of the season opener versus the New Orleans Saints.

Corner Josh Wilson and safety Brandon Meriweather are also listed as limited participants. Wilson is on the mend from a concussion, while Meriweather is still rehabbing a MCL and PCL sprain that took place in the preseason. Both would be huge additions to a secondary that's very thin at the moment.

Of course, Brian Orakpo has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2012 season with a pectoral injury.
