The Redskins played pretty well today. We can take some encouragement from the improving offense. The defense seems to be moving in the other direction but hopefully when Taylor returns they can steady themselves enough for us to make a final push. Hats off to Fabini, Wade, and Heyer. I haven't looked at the game again yet but my first impression was that they held up well considering we threw the ball 50+ times. Either or that or Dallas' front seven took the day off because they looked much less agressive than they have in other games with the exception of Ware who I thought got away with an offsides. The refs need to tighten that up. You're either onside or your not and some of these guys seem to be getting a pass when it's borderline. Also hats off to McCardell. I want him in there from now on regardless of who's healthy. He gets open and is surprisingly agile for someone of such advanced age.

Also, it occurred to me that Tony Romo slightly resembles the professional poker player Phil Hellmuth. Either that or I'm looking for reasons to dislike him. He's pretty damn good. It's too bad we couldn't capitalize on those throws where he tries to squeeze it. Like Favre he seems to give you a few chances like that. I guess we'll have to learn how to deal with him soon if we want to contend in the division in the next few years.
