Smoot Doesn't Lay The Smack Down (Mooby Does) (Redskins V. Cardinals)

[mooby]

Since the mods aren't present, I'll get this started. Feel free to start the Studs thread too.

Special Teams: More specifically, whoever failed to block Calais Campbell on that chip shot field goal that people are blaming Gano for. Was Gano supposed to block for his kick too? Come on people.

Red zone offense: 2 for 7? Not good. Next point ties into this.

Bad Rex Grossman: The second pick wasn't his fault but the first one was, and as well all know turning the ball over in the red zone is a BFD. We're lucky it didn't matter in the end, but it very easily could've.

2nd half defense: They ran roughshod over us in the second half. Now 2nd half injuries to our corners didn't help, but we could be looking at a different outcome if they had ran the ball a little more at the end.

Feel free to add to this, this is just my preliminary list.

I was saying we could very easily be 1-1 right now. But you are right, we did win and winning hides the stains of poor play. But I'd hate for people to get fooled into thinking we're looking at a dominant team capable of winning every game with the kind of play we saw today.

Wet blanket defeatist talk.
We're 2-0.
Enjoy it instead of planning for a future let down.
And we don't need to be a dominant team.
We just need to win.
Which we are doing.

I'll be enjoying it until the end of the day, but at the end of the day, 2-0 means nothing. 2-0 doesn't make the playoffs, 2-0 doesn't prove anything, 2-0 just means you were good enough to win 2 weeks in a row. I want sustained success, not feel good stories in the second week of the season. I'll start celebrating if we have a division title locked up, or a playoff berth locked up, or a winning record and a playoff berth after the 17th week of the season. 2-0 might make you think we should already declare this season a success, but I don't think that way.

I realize since we won today, you have put on your 1968 Burgundy Colored Aviators, which help to obscure all the bad play from today, but not everybody chooses to ignore reality.

I am with you on all that.

Sometimes poor play calling in the red zone.

Poor clock management at the end of the game.

uhhh...did you watch the game? the skins shot themselves in the foot so many times its a wonder they were able to walk off the field. Granted a come from behind win is good and all but you're being foolish if this win gives you any confidence in the Redskins that the problems of the past few years (kicking, bad qb play, OL blocking, giving up big plays on defense, red zone offense etc.) are any closer to being solved.
