We're still running the ball on first and second down. We're still using that little WR screen pass that people hate to see. We're still dumping the ball off to Cooley or Robert Royal. Could it possibly be that the players are executing and playing mistake free football? Take away at least half of those turnovers we committed earlier this season, and the Redskins would have already had the NFC East title wrapped up a couple weeks ago. With the exception of the Arizona game, we've done a pretty good job of limiting the turnovers - if not eliminating them altogether. You can still win if you turn the ball over once, but in those losses, we turned the ball over at least three times.

The point is, we're not making mistakes. We're not turning the ball over constantly...we're executing the SAME PLAYS WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING ALL SEASON LONG! There is nothing Gibbs has done so different that has made a difference. Look how people were complaining about Gibbs being way too conservative.....then look how we ran the ball on first and second down all day long against the Giants. The only thing we are doing different now is that we are protecting the football better. That's it. When we play mistake free football, our "simple" offense can't be stopped....just like it was back in the 1980's. I betcha as long as we don't turn the ball over against the Eagles...we'll win the game. IF we turn the ball over three times or more, we'll lose the game. That has been proven fact all season long (with the exception of the Arizona game.)

Again, we're playing pure old fashioned Joe Gibbs' Redskins football and it is working like a charm!
