9/11/2006: Redskins (0-0) vs. Vikings (0-0)

[NYCSkin]

Johnson, Williamson, Robinson, and Wiggins lit up this secondary. Even with the drops. Well now we have Bledsoe, T.O., Glenn, and Whitten. Be afraid...

Put campbell in and let him scramble and move the pocket.Screw brunnell and his manage the game bullshit.It gets you field goals and losses.Time to go with the future.

too many throw aways.need to keep the plays alive longer.Im not saying its his fault for loss i just think we need a spark at QB.and campbell can give us that.

The bottom line is we didn't execute the offense any better than we did in preseason...vice a few decent plays. The defense had 0 pressure on the quarterback (which I didn't expect at all). At home...TODAY (9/11), with 94000+ behind you, you can't lose this game. If we played at Minnesota we would have lost by 20 the way we played. It's a short week, and we have a better team to play next week. I'm not impressed. This better be a good week of practice. Dallas will be hungry, especially considering what happened to them last year in Dallas against Washington. I just hope we will be more hungry.

The calls for Campbell are absolutely ridiculous.

We need to give the offense a few more weeks to come together. Bringing in an inexperienced QB at this point isn't going to solve anything and it would be an act of desperation. 0-1 is not time to hit the panic button.

Relax. 15 games to go.

It's a very long season.

An opening night loss doesn't break the season.

Well, I'm glad I attended the game, even though we lost, I still enjoyed the experience of being at Fedex and the thrills of being at a game, seeing the action with your own two eyes instead of through a tv camera. Here are some points I'd like to make:

I haven't seen the stats yet, but the Vikings O did a pretty good job against our d. There wasn't a lot of blitzing on our part, and I like to think that can be attributed to the loss of Springs. When G.W. blitzes, he needs to have reliable corners like Springs that can be put on an island and can hold their own. Obviously not having Springs hurt us in that department a bit.

The Vikings d pretty effectively shut our offense down. I saw the screen pass run four times this game, the only one that was effective was the one on the first play of the game. Not only that, but where in the hell was the deep ball? I don't even think Brunell attempted one the whole game.

Speaking of Brunell, normally i'd excuse his performance, but I was rather disappointed at how easily he gave up on some plays and threw the ball away instead of making time by using his legs and taking some chances.

Also, I was rather disappointed with our red zone offense. Two times we were inside their ten yard line, two times we came away with field goals. Field goals don't win games by theirselves. With all the weapons we have on offense, there shouldn't be any excuses as to why we can't punch it in.

So what is the prediction against Dallas next Sunday night? To be honest with you, Dallas looked better yesterday than we did tonight. Jacksonville has the "real deal" defense, but I'm not sure that we can match that considering the effort we put forth tonight. What are your thoughts?
