We need to learn to handle our business against lesser teams and stop playing down to them. If we can do that, I will buy that this is a new Redskins team.

I think their D gives us some issues, and Jackson normally has a good day against us. Stop Jackson, hit bradford, safe plays on offense to keep the ball moving.

Hopefully we won't play down and hopefully Kyle will realize to put the dagger in while we can. Almost a minute left at the end of the 2nd quarter and we kneel on the ball? I remember there was a series towards the end of the 4th where we just ran the ball 3 times and punted it away. I was like, really? We weren't up by so much that run, run, run, punt seemed like a viable option. I'm not saying we need to throw in situations where we obviously don't, but at least keep the other team guessing, don't just roll over and have the defense try to win the games for you. We know how well that's worked out in the past.
