The defense is a bit of a mess with the scheme, injuries and a talent deficit.

But on offense we are still leaving SO MANY plays on the field.

Kirk Cousins missed Pierre Garcon for a big play early in the game, and Fred Davis was open for a TD that he missed in the red zone.

And of course Dustin Hopkins missed another field goal.

This guy started out in Washington looking like a pro bowl performer, but after he missed those 2 kicks in the Cincinnati game, he is now so tentative you close your eyes whenever he comes on the field.
 
DeSean was open for like half the game. Man, if your gonna take a shot...He did get 3 of 4 targets, a TD and most yards on the team so he was good with what he got
