Next weeks packer game isn't even being televised in the Bmore area, instead they are showing 'Romeo must die'.

FML.

How? Because Griff will play every half like he did the second half tonite - or atleast he wont play another half like he did the first. I said it earlier and ill say it again. I will never undervalue the preseason again.

Ko returns were bad. Rocca shanked a punt. Tackling was horrendous. Hopefully the Cobra got his miss out of the way.

Thompson kept bringing the ball from deep inside the endzone, that was a bit stupid IMO.

Football is a game of momentum. Philly came out hot, and having an unseen novel offense helped them (not to mention good play). But Al's fumble on the first possession and then RGIIIs INT set a tone. Took a while to get out of that funk.

If we lose in GB that sucks, but let's be realistic. That is a tough place to play and GB is a great team coming off a tough loss. Think our safeties will have an easier time with Rodgers? But the next two after that are crucial.

We need to get back our proper attitude. We haven't earned the right to take plays off or to think other teams will roll over for us. We are not that good a team (yet). We need to play like underdogs. I think we thought that we're already good. As my old coach used to say, we acted like we thought our sh** didn't stink. It took a 33 point punch in the mouth to wake us up. Glad we put up some points at the end, and maybe it will knock us back to size. We need to play with our back to the wall now! Not wait until we have to win 7 in a row again.

(Why does it always have to be Philly on Monday nights? Ugh.)

But he did start running and his passing was much crisper. Matty called it the tale of two halfs but i say it was the tale of two griffs. He energizes the whole team when he starts doing his thing - gives both sides of the ball hope. Not to mention the fact that ks was being very cautious in his first game back. Griff proved by games end he was able to move and take a hit. Maybe im looking through rose colored glasses but i believe next week Griff will be in MVP form. I think we saw a bit of it tonite and minus a couple bonehead plays and penalties just in the second half he almost led us to victory

Tackling was terrible the entire game. Giving up 250+ yards is pathetic. Pass Rush looked good at times and than disappeared. I think the front 7 needs to improve a lot in order for the defense to improve. The secondary won't get better anytime soon.

Also Polumbus still does not know how to pick up blitzes.

proud of the team for not giving up and coming back in the second half. RG 3 looks like he shook the rust off the second half. Kai needs to get his mojo back also

I'm just saying this so you don't act surprised later on, but there is still plenty of 'rust' RG3 needs to shake off.

I'm definitely looking forward to round 2 with the Eagles. I'm not convinced that offense is sustainable over the long haul.

Vick was limping at the end of the game and the Redskins aren't exactly the most physical defense.

Kelly's offense always struggle's against physical defenses, it did in Oregon and it will in the NFL.

I would agree, but I think McCoy is the PERFECT back for that offense, so much open field and space, and he is dang near impossible to get down 1 on 1.

It will slow down though if Vick gets hit, which he will.

Wish McCoy was in a different division.

I give Vick a few more games before we see Foles. He is just so reckless with his body that there is no way he holds up. But I gotta give him credit tonight, he looked outstanding in the new offense.

Very few times I'll agree with a Dookie:

Respect the fact that @RGIII said "No excuses. I played poorly in the first half & I have to be better". #GrownManAnswer

An awesome thing about RGIII is I all think we knew he would say exactly that.

We're 0-1, but after our patented 7 game winning streak, we'll be 7-1 and in 1st place.
