I had no doubts about us getting the offense together this year. It was just a matter of when. We can all look at Gibbs track record. The man is a winner. This was bound to happen. Others fail to remember that Gibbs was the architect of the most prolific offense the NFL had ever seen until Randy Moss came into the league with the Vik's. I can't think of a team that was ranked that high in both offense and defense. Question: Out of the superbowl winning teams. What team had the highest rank offense and defense for that super bowl year.

I agree that it was only time before Gibbs would get our O moving. I would not have expected such a fast rise in such little time. Its amazing how a couple of plays (Moss's catches at Dallas) can turn thing around so quickly. Patten even had some nice catches against the 49er's and if he can keep improving each game watch out.

The 2 most important games of the season :

(1) Dallas - got us over the cowboys curse (which got us over the nfc east curse) and helped build the confidence to able to win any game no matter how terrible the performance or how many points down.
(2) San Francisco - helped to convince us that we are on another level offensively and also helped to attain a comfort level between the players and the coaches' play calling.

Having said that - in New York - the first few plays and possessions are key to the game and maybe the next big step we take. If we get on a roll (like I know we can offensively), the teams' confidence level will be sky high, and despite "the fly under the radar" theory, I think the redskins confidence this sesason is what is sparking the redskins' success.

I agree with you on the Dallas game. If it was not for those two plays and Dallas would have won. I think it would have realy taken the wind out of this team and we may have never recoverd from.

number one I agree with.
number two I hope for. whether or not the San Fran game will bolster the confidence of the team and their confidence in the coaches will be born out over the next two games.
