Watching Redskins football is supposed to be fun?

Yeah....I'm scratching my head. I thought the only meaningless games in the NFL were ones played by teams that clinched the conference #1 seed.

I don't think anybody called this game meaningless, but it certainly could've been inferred from one of the above posts.

I have no idea how a division game on the road could be called meaningless either.

With all the pink gear on the field one could infer that the NFL is trying to tap into the gay sports fans market but that doesn't make it a wise inference.

So Green Bay next week...how do we feel about Aaron Rodgers coming to FedEx being blitzed and beating those blitzes?

Maybe Haslett will come up with an unique approach? Nobody said he has to blitz, he just comes up with what he feels is the best gameplan for success.

If Haslett does blitz all day and Aaron Rodgers has a field day, well we'll see. Or maybe Rodgers will anticipate playing coverage all day based on what we did against the Eagles. I don't know but these next two weeks will be a huge test to see if we really did improve against the Eagles or if this game was just an anomaly.

I got a question, why is our offense great in the first quarter, and then disappears in the rest of the game?

[Ruhskins]

I think the key against Green Bay will be to keep their WRs in check like we did against against the Iggles wideouts. My concern will be once again the check downs and throws to the middle of the field that seemed to be wide open in this game.

A big plus is that GB doesn't have much of a running game. Also, I am not sure how well their o-line is now, but they used to be not that great of a unit.

Now you've done it. That Kuhn kid is going to bust a big one on us.

TWSS...Zing!!

I meant it didn't mean much in the sense of evaluating the "power" of this team. All this game showed is that we're more "powerful" than the Eagles, but only everrrrr so slightly. Both teams seem rather mediocre(Iggles with Kolb, that is.), and we've done NOTHING to show that we're better than mediocre.

Now that's just crazy talk.

All of our opponents so far haven't shown themselves to be world beaters, and we haven't stomped them like clearly superior teams should(Like the Jets did to the Bills today). It's either a nail biter or in the case of the Rams, a blowout for them.

Yea we just beat Dallas and Philly in our first division games, held both offenses out of the endzone pretty much and ran the ball great yesterday.

No need to start complaining let's all enjoy this win, it's already made a great start of the week for me. Chill out folks Things are getting better for our skins, yea we may not be a super bowl team this yr but give it a couple years.
