The numbers are there, 2nd (or so) in the league in blitz percentage going into this week. Today they brought four most of the time and only rushed three a bunch of the time. Good play calling since they have proven that they can't get pressure even by blitzing. McNabb struggled to find open receivers (and made some bad throws and had some key drops).

The funny thing about you and discussing this is that I agree, I hate our blitz packages. We hardly ever are successful on blitzes. So we agree in your argument.
But... all I have been saying all along is that:
1) our offense is AWFUL
2) our defense is certainly not equally accountable for us not making the playoffs
3) Points allowed is more important than "blitz" stats or "yards per completion", etc.
4) our pass defense is NOT below average
That's all... those 4 things. Now, I used alot of statistics, etc. to try and show this, but obviously, I'm trippin on acid and seeing things that no one else sees when they watch the Redskins play or look at the stats I provide, cause my argument is inferior... I'll have to accept that to some of you feel that way.
