Positives of this Game

[JGisLordOfTheRings]

Randle El in the slot is nasty. I hope the coaches saw this and take FULL advantage of it this year. ARE's quicks make him an excellent slot guy.

It's the first game
Are looked good
O-line looks good
D-line needs more time to jell
Kicking game looks good
JC looks good when given time

HTTR.

I believe Chase Daniels could do a better job at QB! At least he scrambles and tries anyway he can to get that 1st down!

^^I think we would have gotten crushed much worse if Chase had been under center yesterday.

And...dude, I've seen your other posts and I must ask: is someone paying you for every exclamation point that you use?

He he he. Jim Zorn had a big one hovering above his head last night. I know I'm not the only one with a lot of questions around here. Chase is gone. For the record, I'd rather have Todd Collins. Thanks for reading my posts. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? cha ching!

Actually I was talking about njall and his exclamation points, not question marks.

Thanks !!!!!!!!! Chase would have done worse ? How do you know? Last time Campbell got hurt Skins went to playoffs under Collins. Anything better than Campbell!

I suppose that I am speculating that Chase would have done much worse than JC because he has less experience than Campbell and Jacksonville's defense made Chase look utterly clueless.

Let's overlook the fact that Chase is no longer on the team and thus is irrelevant: what makes you think that Chase would do better than Campbell?

That comment is a Joke.

A positive (not our game) that I didn't realize:

DALLAS DEFENSE GAVE UP 450 YDS TO TAMPA BAY AND BYRON LEFTWICH!!!!

Yes I did need all caps, bold, and 4 exclamation marks.
and yes I know they got the win, but they won't get many like that.

Actually Dallas looked really bad early in the game. They didn't get started until later part of the game. I'm not too impressed with their overall team.

The Positives of the game
1.The Redskins never quit
2. No major injuries.
3. The Defense had a goal line stand
4. London Fletcher has not slowed down yet.
5. ARE had his best game as a Redskins WR and may makean impact in the slot.
6. The Defense only surrendered 16 points to the G-mens offense.
7. The Defense forced 2 turnovers.
8. Cooley had a TD and was a factor in the passing game.
9. Special teams overall played well not given up a return for a TD or missed FG.
10. JC played well against a great pass rush and a average O-Line.
11. Albert H. had a nice game and he isn't in game shape yet. His presense will be felt this season.
12. Horton is not a 1 season wonder, the kid can play.
13. Orakpo got his feet wet and did not make any major mistakes.
14. Mcnabb may miss a few games.
15. This maybe our last game in giants stadium. New stadium next year our fortune will change.
16. Heyer played better this game in pass protection.
17. Rogers played the entire game, but he did drop a sure pick early in the 1st qt.

I've come to grips with Rogers' ability to drop interceptions and instead to look at each dropped pick as a broken pass. So the way I see it is this: not ony did Rogers play the entire game, and do so fairly well, but he also broke up a pass in the first quarter.

As the bitter disappointment of high expectations being summarily chopblocked by the actual game fades and reality sets in, I would like to say, that even with the Skins playing an uninspired performance against a team they haven't beaten in 2 1/2 years, we were within one score at the very end. We were not playing a bad team, and we hung in and clawed back into it. We did not give up 27 points to last year's 0-16 team (no we gave up 16 offensive points to last years NFC East champs). We did not give up 450 yards to a mediocre offense(No, and we held their all powerful back to 60 yards or so) Did we fail to score(no we scored 17 points against a team that allowed the 5th fewest points last year). Was it a bitter defeat, absolutely, but what defeat isn't bitter. What loss can't you say, if only xxx. In all the Skins came out, were defeated by a solid veteran club that for many years has had our number. We will do better this week!
