First place Redskins

[NoCalHail]

I am not sure if McVay and Gruden recognized something early on with Buffalo's defense, but something definitely seemed different about our offense today. It seemed like they finally gave up on using the run to setup the pass and went into attack mode several times in the game not just to take the lead but to extend the lead and seal the game.

I know a win next week would obviously be the biggest of the season, but if today the style that we can expect until the running game improves, I think it will be a turning point. Rex Ryan is not a great head coach but he usually has his defense primed and ready to go and we dropped 35 on them and probably would have been more if we hadn't gone through that bit of a lull towards the end of 3rd quarter/beginning of 4th quarter.

Also, we were finally involving Jackson in passes that weren't just deep bombs and Jackson showed he is still capable of taking any kind of catch, making that first guy miss, and turning on the afterburners to the house.

I know they are still just a 7-7 team but games like this, against a team I expected to give the 'Skins offense more fits, is probably the most encouraging thing I've witnessed this season.
