Ok, here is what I saw last night.

One: terrible play calling on the part of Jim Zorn. After a great play and run by Clinton Portis you call a gimmick play. ugg not this early Jim. Let these guys get in a groove before you call on the old ARE reverse pass. Then as the game progresses the Redskins offense becomes so predictable. Run Run Pass. Every time out. Come on Jim you are playing the Giants Deffense. These guys are good but you at least need to put your team in a position to win and be successful. You failed in doing anything close to that yesterday. The running game wasn't working but you continue to run to try and set up the pass. How many times on second and 8 or 9 are you going to run the ball again for the same result? Then try and pass on third down. Grade F for old Zorny and the game plan for yesterday.

Two: I thought the defense played reall well in only holding the Giants to 16 points. the guys came up big in the Redzone and on Third/Forth downs in the Redzone, but what about the rest of the field? Can Blache ever make an adjustment? Will we ever not play so damn far off the ball, Cbs and Safeties? Is this just how the scheme is and as fans we should just except it and never expect an adjstment to be made?

Three: I for one thought the oline gave Jason plenty of time to get the ball out of his hands. Jason still does not think quickly enough and has a hard time going through progressions in the matter of 3-4 seconds. This is the Giants, Jason, I know you are scared of them and I see that you will continue to be, until you realize when the pocket is collapsing you either need to step up in the pocket, throw the ball away, find a guy who is open, or take a sack. That Osi touchdown was your fault not the line, and was the difference in the ball game. Jason continues to look like a deer in headlights when he plays the Giants. We are not going to win the division or the superbowl with a guy who plays scared. One other thing, learn where the line of scrimmage is and don't throw past it. Ok?

This is not the end of the world and the Skins faired alot better than they did in last years opener, but to that end, we will not beat the Giants until we actually think we can. I saw an offense which was scared and inept. How can you win the division if you don't believe you can beat the head of the East?
