Re: What's your defnition of 'conservative playcalling'?

The real argument against conservative playcalling is that fans want to be entertained. That's what it really comes down to. Fans would rather see us lose 45-42 in overtime than to see us win 21-19 with the defense scoring at least a TD here and there. I guess they feel as if they're not getting their money's worth. Well, sorry, but I'd rather see us win ugly than to see us lose pretty. And the fact remains, we're 4-2. Even if we lose against NE, we're still above .500. Something we couldn't do last year.

Despite our woes on the offensive line, a young quarterback who is starting in his first full year, and receivers who have been inconsistent with catching the ball, we're at 4-2! That's quite impressive. A couple of catches here and there that should've been caught, and a personal foul call here and there that could've been avoided, and we could've been going into the New England game undefeated.

We are at that point where we have the potiential of turning this team into an elite team, or going the other way. That is why having a healthy offensive line is so important to us. It's critical. Having a healthy offensive line can be what pushes us closer to being that team we have all hoped the Redskins would become. Because our line is not healthy right now, it's putting a lot of pressure on us that is pushing us behind in the growth and development of this team. When guys are going down to injuries and playing inconsistent, how can you expect the play calling to be all Madden like?
