It was good game for Redskins defense, especially Dline's performance! I'm absolutely impressed by AP and his determination - playing through injuries and pain at his age.

I noticed several of you guys are bashing Alex. There are more factors to offense issues, other than Alex.. Gruden's conservative playcalling, weak Oline performance (season overall, not this game), and injured receivers/RBs. Beside missed open receivers, I like what I see from Alex as he showed he can throw further than 10 yards unlike last few games. Also, I noticed almost every time offense gets off from the field, Gruden and Alex gathered to discuss about recent plays - I believe this shows how much Alex and Gruden are still learning about each other. I hope with time, we will see offense improving later in the season.

We also must remember that we all knew Alex's limitations when we traded for him; we knew that Alex isn't likely to carry team to wins, and we knew Alex isn't playmaker. I'm little bit surprised how some people are upset about Alex's performance, it is as if we are expecting Alex to play like Aaron Rodgers. Alex is a good QB when he has good players around him, we are almost there. If we had good reliable WRs, I think our offense would be playing much better.
