Truth be told, for the last couple of years the Washington defense has had the ability to keep games close for 4 quarters in the hope that the offense can produce something. And that did not happen last night. They kept the Monday night game vs. Minnesota close, but the offense could not come through and support them.
I still think that the Redskins will do what they do best..and that is get comfortable in the new offense about mid-season and then have another huge win streak like last season to make a playoff run. As long as the defense can stay healthy and keep them in games for 4 quarters.

I do think Portis is a HUGE part of the offense, but I also believe we have enough talent to win without him IF he's hurt. I think the next few weeks will tell the tale of this season. Maybe starting off 0-2 is what we need to get this team hungry to go out there and to try harder.
