He basically played the slot starter role over Moss. Moss got playing time more due to Garçon being out I think. Interesting. He's got them convinced already.

Most important stat, RG3 completed passes to 8 different players. 5 of which were wide receivers.

In case anyone wanted to relieve the greatness that RGIII is (or just didn't get to see it). Here's his first TD pass.

Just epic...

Hell of a snag by Garçon

I love the acceleration as Garcon tucks the ball and heads up field. He faster than I thought

Chances of Gaffney making that play?

0.0

I was going to go as far as saying somewhere in the negative range.

I think Gaffney might've (and I seriously stress the might part) made the catch, but he definitely couldn't of outrun anyone.

Hell to the no he wouldn't have.

For those attributing today's performance to the Saints D being really bad, what Redskins team have you been watching all these years? The Skins have struggled mightily to score against ALL Defenses, good, bad and mediocre.

Agreed, last yr we had games when Rex,would hardly get touched

I'm still just in shock that we scored 40 points. The DB's looked a lot better than I thought. Make no mistake, that NO offense is still as good as there is out there. They can basically score at will. They're gong to score 25 plus against just about everybody. Now I hope we can demolish St Louis and pay them back for some recent upsets.

St. Louis has a very stout Defense with some young stars in the making, I would be very careful with them.

I am getting past the shock but now approaching acceptance!
I expected 35-17 Saints....wow...just wow.
As many have been gushing about RG3's talent, I was very skeptical...and only after the 3rd preseason game, I started to believe...why?...3 games, no picks...for a rookie...that almost never happens, even in preseason...well...the greatest stat for a rookie QB to measure comfort is picks, imo.
3 other rookies had 10 picks today alone.
RG3 has had ....ZERO in 4 games now. That is flat out insane.

Also, I said Cedric Griffin sucked and should have been cut....well, I was WAY wrong on that...he had a great game and so did Gomes. I thought our 3rd corner and 2 safeties would get abused....they didn't....I am shocked.

Also, for everyone that said getting this new kicker was a mistake, fess up...you were wrong...I love our new kicker, he was actually perfect!...when was the last time we could say that.

I do think the Skins could have scored even more if we didn't go into burn the clock mode, but a rookies first start is risky to try to win by throwing against an aggressive D.

I really thought there was no way to win this game...I thought we'd need to score 35 points in a game, and that was almost impossible, since we haven't hit that in a couple years, and certainly not with a rookie QB against a top team.

I still can't believe it...is this real?
Is it true?
Do we have a Legit top 10 QB on our hands for the next 10 years?
Can the Skins now compete with anybody?
Is there true hope?
I just don't want to get my hopes up again, but it is hard to deny the facts.
It is just one game but what a start! WOW....what a difference RG3 makes!

HAIL To the REDSKINS!

[FRPLG]

Lots of thoughts...one matters most. Bob can play. Period. I'm sure he won't replicate this every week and we'll see mistakes but at any point today did anyone watching this game wonder if RGIII could do it? I had tiny little doubts for about 3 plays. He looked like the first real QB we've had in years.
