The last few years the Skins would have lost these last two games. Improvement on both sides of the ball.

Hey all, haven't been around in a while.

I am really happy with the way this season has gone defensively. Offense has been good too, but it seems like we have had a bit of luck thus far. Rex has thrown a few passes that ended incomplete that were easy picks.

In depth analysis, I know. Hail.

Call it what you will, but in the past those breaks didn't go our way. It's just nice to see the breaks come our way for a change.

I absolutely agree with you. Color me excited about a few rolls going our way. Can't wait until Monday.

I'm feeling really good about the team this year. Are there areas of concern? Sure. But I can't remember in recent memory having so many rookies making such an impact so early. And to come back against the Cardinals was AWESOME. Sure we shouldn't have let the game be that close but you don't see comebacks from the Redskins like that very often and from a young team like this it showed a lot. This team doesn't quit. I'm sure more additions will be made next draft to shore up the weakness along the o-line. I love watching our defense play and the rookies are definitely having a good impact on the way we play. We are heading in the right direction and I don't remember feeling this way in a very long time. We have many weapons on offense and are finally playing some two TE sets that are effective. Davis has become the beast we all expected. This is only the second year with Shanny and Allen and I expect things to get even better. HTTR!

I like how Our Skins are built and the direction they are headed after two games.

However I am subduing that enthusiasm with the notion that we're still in the middle of rebuilding our future depth.

Since injuries are a given Im anticipating a tough go later in the season for Our Skins...that being said, at 2-0, HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

They have SLIGHTLY exceeded my expectations. If you asked me my thoughts before the preseason they have REALLY exceeded them, but after the preseason, its only slightly. We looked a bit better against NY than I thought. I thought it was a very winnable game, but I was really impressed with us then.

Was not as impressed with us last week. We really dominated that game, IMO and only won by a point, which worries me. (I hate to complain after a victory, so I wont, but I thought we were by far the better team last week and should have won by double digits given the way the game went)...

Overall though, can't really ask for much more now. 2-0, going into Dallas in a game I think we have a solid if not good chance of winning depending on their injuries... If we're at least 3-1 heading into the bye, I'm gonna start to feel really good about this team with the schedule we have during the middle of the season (Buffalo, Carolina, SF, Miami, Seattle, Dallas at home)... I would hope that's a stretch we can be at least 4-2 through as Buffalo and Carolina look pretty decent so far...

I'm not worried about anyone besides Dallas although I do want Philly to beat NY

Is it not gratifying to see all the stupid shit that goes on around the league in another teams wheelhouse?
