I learned to stop getting excited when the Redskins draft receivers. Aside from Cooley our last several attempts at pass catchers in the draft have been lousy. I'm in "show me" mode in that department.

Learning the West Coast always takes time. I agree we have great potential, but we're not there yet. I guarantee if we play the caliber of ball game next week that we did today, we will get beaten by Dallas. Same goes for week 5 in Philly. Our run D is poor and I'm worried the consistent inconsistency of the offense. Although I'm very happy with the tempo we showed in the 2nd half.

That basically sums it up. It will take a heroic defensive effort the next two weeks to give JC and the offense a chance to win the game. Specifically, yes our run defense has to improve markedly, but so does our pass rush (still). Romo and Dono will destroy any defense that can't put serious pressure on them.
