Re: Very proud of the team today even in a loss
You can certainly say the Redskins left it all on the field yesterday. They fought their guts out and just came up a bit short. A play or 2 going the Skins way, and we all could be celebrating a victory today.
I think this loss doesn't hurt as much because it's a game we all expected the Skins to lose. 8-1 Cowboys that is knocking teams over at will against a 5-4 Redskins team that can't close the deal. Watching them play the way they did makes taking the loss that much easier. As far as Campbell goes, while some says he choked, I can't quite get on that bandwagon for this simple fact: 33-54, 348 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT. He had a great day, one of the best by a Redskins QB in a long while, and while some of his throws were a bit errant, he gave this team a chance to win the game. That pick late could have very well happened to any QB in the league. However, that being said, the Redskins are now in a stretch where 1 loss can potentially knock them out of the playoffs. They have to play to their full potential from here on out and limit mistakes. The secondary has to step up without Taylor. The offensive line has to continue to provide ample protection for Campbell. And Campbell needs to hit the open targets in the numbers...
