F*ck, this team is getting me excited again. Absolutely loved the way we won this game. And take a look at the rest of the division... Philly looked terrible today, Dallas is down Romo and Bryant, and NY is 0-2. If we win our next game...

Please don't! We haven't won back to back games in what seems like a lifetime. Let's take it 1 game at a time. The Giants are wounded and staring at 0-3 will feel their season is on the line. Would love to crush them, but our big win today is only a first step. Hopefully, we can take a W in NY and then have 10 days to get healthier.

I was thinking the same thing. Right now, the division is there for the taking. The Eagles offense looked terrible yesterday. Just terrible. Bradford was awful. They can't run the ball. Romo and Bryant are gone. Why not us?

This is going to be a really tough game Thursday. If they can somehow pull this off and have 10 days off and a home game against struggling Philly? 3-1??

The McLovin plan in effect. Gotta love it. Plus, fuck Fisher. What a tool.

The Oline looks just night and day from last year. Better players and better coach. Wow. They just smacked two serious D-lines in the mouth.

Hatcher is rejuvenated. Pot Roast and the gang getting inside pressure without blitzes. Plus, it's allowing the LBs to make plays. Keenan was excellent--that play in the backfield (a penalty negated it) was awesome. Reily had one of his best games, I think. And Kerrigan is getting singled and having little RBs trying to stop him. And do we actually have real safeties?!?!? Wow. I know we'll have our ups and downs, but that felt good today. Go Barry!

What a relief to kick it out of the endzone like every other team. Nice.

Only bad is the second half post halftimes letdowns. Gotta end that shit. And get some TOs--that really can make a difference.

(Wow--pretty happy about this. I assume the kick in the nuts is coming, from the giants or whatever, but that was the best half of football we've played in a while in that first half! Hail!)

The @Redskins trolled Jeff Fisher today by beating the Rams without using any of the players acquired in the big trade of 2012.

Got a kick out of this...

Let me address a couple of specific complaints from a couple of youse guys that I consider to be misguided:

1. We need to fix the "third quarter let-downs".

We played two good teams. Good teams are going to make a run at you at some point. Their coaches are going to throw the kitchen sink at you coming out of halftime. The key for the Redskins was to absorb their best shot and then regain control of the game. The Skins did exactly that and put away the Rams in the 4th quarter. That's how it's done.

2. Kirk Cousins is not going to be able to carry the team without a running game to help him.

No shit, Sherlock! Nobody is comparing Kirk Cousins to Tom Brady. The Redskins formula is to have a strong running game and a QB who can complement it with short to medium passes. Kirk is supposed to read the defense and make accurate throws to the correct receivers. If you would like to call Kirk a "game manager", go ahead. He isn't going to be an All-Pro but if he can be efficient we can win with him. Let's be happy to have Kirk the Truck Driver to keep this runaway truck of an offense on the road.

We won! Life is good. HTTR!

A couple of counter points to your points.

1) Gruden tries to be cute with his play calling. I dont disagree when he tries to get outside with Morris or Jones once or twice against a defense built on speed. Show different things to make them think, but dont try to make it a regular part of the game plan. We score our first TD with power runs (2 power runs and one head scratcher of a call where we lost 2 yards). We come back the very next drive and he went through one of his "cute" moments. It was a bad drive.

The rams and dolphin games had some head scratchers for play calls. When he called a good game, we did what we did. When he had some of those head scratcher moments, our offense didnt look that good. The "regaining control of the game" coincided with him getting back to what we do best.

2) The fact that you start that answer with "No shit, Sherlock!" means you agree with the statement that you seem to be trying to argue against. Not really much is needed to say as a counter point since you apparently agree.

Saying that KC is not going to carry this team is neither a blasphemous statement nor is it an anti-KC statement, its simply the truth. He is the best guy we have to run Grudens system. And as you agree, that doesnt mean he is Tom Brady.

Never stop trying to improve... The great teams dont stop trying to improve simply because of one game.

We had 4 days last year where we won. It wasnt a good year.

Also, I wasnt bitching so much as I was responding. If all we do is hold hands and sing Kumbaya together, this forum wouldnt be any fun.

Relax... We come here to talk Redskins, and that includes disagreements. I didnt say KI should go jump off a bridge or anything. He is an intelligent poster, doesnt mean I agree with him 100%.

Didnt really see it as bitching either. How boring would it be here if one person wrote __"team looked great today", and than 179 people replied "yep". Lol

I do agree with you on this point. I confess that I did perceive your comments as a knock on KC. Sorry about that. If he has to carry us, then we're in trouble. We'll probably win many of the games when we can run the ball and play tough D. Conversely, we'll probably lose nearly all of the games when we're unable to do those things.

Nevertheless, I'm happy where we are right now in what I consider to be Year 1 of our team building and that includes being happy with the play of our current starting QB.

Most of my complaints directed at the offense has been more about Grudens play calling and not KC. I think he is going to throw ints so I think he should open up the passing game some more. Dont abandon the run, just when he does call passes, dont be afraid of KC throwing ints. We were conservative both games with play calling and he still had 2 in the first game and the rams dropped what should have been a sure int yesterday.

Im not saying Gruden has been terrible, just that, at times, he seems to try and get cute with some of his calls. Such as when he does do some first down passing (which imo, is a necessity at times in the NFL) that with our run game going like it has been, to do play action and let KC go for something. I have called for the offense to run screens in the past, but that is something to slow the pass rush down. When the OL is already doing that, then those dont have the effectiveness that they would of had in the past. So dont do screens on 1st down when we do pass there, play action it and look for something down field. KC is a good QB, the ints being his main problem. He is good at Grudens offense, so let him run it.

Granted, I wasnt expecting our OL to dominate 2 of the better D lines in the league nor was I expecting our defense to give up 20 points in 2 games. 20 points in 2 games is beyond fantastic. I keep expecting them to give up 20 points by halftime. If they keep giving up 10 points a game, the conservative play calling is less of an issue.

You realize that Gruden isn't calling the game. Right?
