Kudos to the team, coaches and fans!! The one guy that was the only let down was madieu Williams, he flat out sucked.

See, I didn't think he was terrible. It was only because he was the only person around the few bad plays.

I really want to see Danny Smith replaced next year. Our special teams haven't won us many games and certainly have put us in some precarious situations. I can't remember a team with more blocks and weird special teams plays than the Redskins in recent memory...

Many times I have been Kyle's critic. Not hatter, just critic.

Kyle impressed the heck out of me today. It was not because of his new toys but by the way that he used them. He ripped several pages out of the Baylor playbook, showing his flexibility. He made sure that Gryphon was comfortable and not overwhelmed. He called a good game in terms of play choice. It was Kyle's best game as our OC.

Also, our front 7 players rule.

Imagine if Garcon had played the entire game. Probably would have scored more than 40 points!

Imagine if we had converted a lot of the 3rd and short situations.

Also, big ups to Cedric Griffin. I gave him a lot of sh*t during the preseason, glad to see him play well.

Yes.

And before anyone says it's only different because he has Griffin running his offense...that's true, but it misses the point. This was a very different offense than what we had seen from the Shanahan's in each of the first two seasons. A majority of our first half runs came out of the gun, which did wonders to protect our OL from itself.

It's telling that Spagnuolo didn't solve Kyle at halftime, which you might have predicted from watching the past two seasons. Kyle stayed one play ahead most of the game.

That's what I'm saying. It was not simply the case that Kyle had shinier toys. Instead he earned his paycheck more than he has in the past. Maybe Kyle is especially inspired.

I sorta think Spags sucks. He had one ok defense that got in the playoffs the year they won a SB and what else have his defenses done?

I disagree- I thought he played solid. Although he played soft like the whole defense down the stretch. I especially liked the 15 yarder that he committed on graham. He took away a little swag from Graham's step after that.

1) GREAT team effort. Just so refreshing to see the team not get down after little momentum changes. In the past that would have done us in.

2) Aggressive play-calling with the lead. A couple of times we got too comfortable and just ran it non-stop, but that play to Paulsen was great timing.

3) Secondary. For a guy who pretty much can move the ball at will, they shut him down for the most part. If we do this against Bradford next week, we should absolutely crush the Rams.

[skinsfaninok]

All I gotta say is 40 points and 1/0

[GridIron26]

It was all around team performance, well almost. Both offense and defense played well, most of us expected Brees to school our secondary but they contained him well. I credit Morris for preparing the secondary. Graham is simply too big to overcome so I'm not worried about those plays. Coaches planned it beautifully, although I was surprised to see how many time we used screen pass plays, but hey if it works then stick with it

If Redskins continue to play like they did in the game through out the year, we will have great season.

Anyone heard anything on Garcon?

Xrays negative. He said he wants to play next week and plans to.



Also last thought of mine is now that we won, lets see how we do against a Rams team that had a let down on the road today against the Lions. Seems like a trap game for us to potentially lose after coming off a great win.
