Tampa slowed us down after the second half. And Tampa D not good either. We are worst than what we seem .

Thanks for the insight, Eeyore....

I saw the first game of the season and they looked pretty good. There were bound to be a few ups and downs as the team builds towards what it wants to be. Not going 19 - 0 in the first year with a rookie QB but we're still far better than in previous seasons. We put up points now!

I dunno. If I remember correctly they were the top rushing defense coming into that game at HOME. I also remember we shredded them for 3 times what they normally give up.

Just me, but that's what I REMEMBER.

Part of me also has a foggy recollection of RG3 toasting them down the field for a game-winning drive. That's just me though.

Last game you MIGHT be able to make an argument, but we lost RG3 so the jury is out on that game.

Thats true the running game we are pretty good. RG3 didnt lose us any games but the fact is our O didn't do nothing in the half of the Rams game we destroyed the Saints and the bengals D is awful too.

You are right tho . Im just saying we have yet to play even a good good D yet we are playing teams who struggle. ATL last game had QB's having bad ratings so its no surprise there D is better than we think passing wise.

Bucs also gave Eli manning like a career day in yards like 500 yards?

Absolutely the offense regressed the last two games. The Bucs are a flat out lousy defense and we didn't break 30 points.

The bigger picture is whether Mike and Kyle can put together a traditional style offense that scores points. We all have seen the offense is lethal when you put the game in RGIII's hands and run him on half our rushing downs, but that's not tenable over the course of the full season and especially not after last week's hit.

Add in the three FGs Cundiff missed and we would have broke 30.

John Keim...this guy writes great stuff and makes great points..

"He and Richard Crawford are a lot alike in this regard. Crawford is not having the same sort of impact as Morris, but he’s elevated himself to this role because he relies on more than talent to succeed. Both are among the smarter rookies I’ve covered. Having those two in a class with Griffin has to make this one of the smarter rookie classes I’ve been around, especially when it comes to providing insight. It’s good for me and it’s terrific for fans"

from his latest observation column

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

Apparently, according to the predictions thread, if we win by 13 points but allow over 20, some people will be angry.

Redonkulous.

Texans, Niners, Ravens, Giants (streaky but sooooo dangerous when it peaks), Falcons, Bears and (surprisingly) the Vikings are all quite good this season. The SB winner is probably in the group (not the Vikings lol).

Then you've got group probably led by the Cardinals, Patriots, Steelers, Rams that are quality.

Then somewhere way down toward the bottom is the Skins defense.

You know what's really, really old? Excuses for why Mike Shanahan can't build a solid team and win in a good division.

Thank u. For some reason people bash you but you mostly speak the truth . It took Shanny 3 years to finally try and rebuild? shouldnt QB and RB been adress year one? even on D why was 3-4 changed ......it was still 4-3 units heck it is still now. Shanny is overrated 2 sbs in 1998-99 guess what guys its 2012 . We have entered a new era.
