And I also remember blowing alot of early leads in the 2nd half of the season - specifically, our defense seemed to get tired and cave in when we were trying to hold on to a narrow lead.

What you say makes a nice argument on paper, but i just dont remember the games that way. I think a good way to test your statement (and mine) would be to look at the first quarter of every game in 2008. Generally speaking, whats done in the first quarter would be a good representation of the teams basic philosophy. Unfortunately, i did a google search and couldnt find anywhere that had these stats. Any ideas?

People can bend stats however they want to in order to suit their arguments. I have rewatched virtually every Redskins game (except for the Steelers and Ravens games) from '08 in the past month or so and trust me, the offense was NOT opened up at all. Campbell was still throwing shallow crosses and deep ins 80% of the time. Very rarely did he even look deep. While his attempts we up, that is not a direct indication to 'opening up the offense'. So back to my original question, which games did we 'open it up' and Campbell wasn't able to handle it?
