Has there ever been another formula that has won in DC?
Take care of the ball first and let your defense win. Nothing wrong with this at all.

This.
I'm not sure I understand the complaints: isn't building a football team from the trenches, having a very good D, running the ball, and not turning it over
THE recipe to going deep into the playoffs?
Did you guys thought we would turn into the Saints or the Patriots overnight ? Well guess what, Alex Smith is neither Brees nor Brady, and Jay sure isn't Belichick !
I know this team
doesn't look like a late January team, BUT I love the way they are winning ugly and:
-A part from Houston,
none of our remaining opponents have a winning record (and I thought the winning record was the only way to judge a team when some of you were calling for Jay's head ?)
-Alex is not playing well right now, but early in the game,
the short passing game was clicking, I've been thinking for a few weeks now that Jay should call more of that. This is a lot of what Andy Reid was doing with Alex in KC, (last season deep ball frenzy was a fluke, and we have nobody near Tyreek Hill on our roster). Alex Smith won't turn into something he's not, but if you can develop a
short and somewhat "tricky" passing game, we'll have ourselves a very decent offense.
-Do you think Blake Bortles is better than Alex Smith? Look at what the Jags did last year.
-We're
5 and 2 for F's sake, why are we arguing ?
