In all fairness did any of us really think we were going to do what we did today. Not hoped or wished but actually thought it was going to happen. I felt like i was dreaming watching that game. Im still afraid im going to wake up on sunday sept 9th in the morning! Lol.

I knew the skins would win, but the RGIII performance was much, much better than what I expected. I still say a 10-6 record and in the playoffs.

Re: Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts
 

I noticed two things that haven't been mentioned too much:

1) I have always believed a team becomes good when you start to not have just one good running back or one good WR, but you get a bunch of guys that do different things very well. It seems that Kyle has that kind of arsenal now: Helu can run a backdoor screen, you have a bruiser in Morris, Robinson has the speed, Garcon is physical and has some jets, Paulsen is a great blocker but can be snuck into formations, etc. And not to mention having the guy under certain have the athletic ability to roll, fake and the arm to make the throw.... yeesh.

Just making a one game comparison to the Gibbs 2.0. regime shows some positive signs. It use to be stack 8 in the box to take away Portis and then double Moss. You won't be able to do that with the athleticism on the field. It might end up being a pick your poison situation by the end of the season, and wouldn't that be sweet for a such an offensively starved team.

2) Man have there been some good finds in the past three drafts. Not including 1st or 2nd rounders, the skins had Riley, Helu, Gomes, Paul, Royster, Robinson, and Morris all contributing. It's good to see some of the later draft picks starting to make an effect on the game. Not to mention the good choices of Griffen, Williams and Kerrigan. It's hard not to believe that there won't be a couple surprises from this year's draft from later picks.

Wow really? Are you a betting man? We always play saints well in recent history but i cannot say that i knew we would win. I was mildly shocked actually. I will agree about rg3. Knew he would bd better than sexy rexy but i an still awe struck by some of those throws across his body that i saw. My God!

This is what I've been saying is:

QB position is better than Grossman or Beck
OL is healthy and we've got depth after last years injuries and suspension
RB are young, fast and pretty good
WR is like night and day, new additions, Garcon, Morgan, Robinson, (still haven't seen Hankerson). Better than last year and many previous years.
TE same

DL Jarvis Jenkins is back, Cofield and Bowen have a year in the system
LB young, aggressive and very solid
DB/S also improved over last year although still a weakspot and thin on the backup spots due to injury.
ST same as last year, maybe better despite the blocked punt.

I've been saying this team is under rated, they lost many close games last year with Grossman and Beck, injuries and suspensions.

They'll be in the playoffs.

Do what I did, fork out the $250 to get it on your ipad, laptop or mobile phone. If you don't have a line of sight and want the convenience of watching at home or a cafe then go this route.

You can on the iPad/iPhone if you buy the HDMI adapter, I would assume that if you have a fairly new laptop that you could.

Every laptop I've bought since 2008 as well as everyone that my friends and family have bought since that time has an HDMI slot. The problem is that a lot of TV's have the potential to slow down the frame rate and make the video choppy.

For example on my new TV that has a 2gb Nvidia GeForce graphics card my frame rate is capped at 30fps when I play games and videos seem slower as well.
