Sadly, for me it was more of the same we've seen even since Gibbs came back.

1) Boring games due to getting stopped a ton on third down and constantly giving up third down (we HAD to have the best 1st and 2nd down defense in the league)

2) Making someone famous. Who was that Giant's WR again today?

3) Breaking streaks for the worse (with the exception of Garcon's which was awesome). If anyone hadn't caught a touchdown, hadn't done ________, we were the sure-fire cure.

I REALLY, REALLY don't want to think that last year was a fluke, and I don't believe it is, but damn, this was the worst team I think I've seen us field in my years as a Skins fan. Worst part is: it was essentially the same team that won the NFCE last year.

The silver lining is that we'll have plenty of money to spend, HOPEFULLY a new legit staff, and RG3 healthy during the offseason. I think the defense can at least be respectable by extending Orakpo and by picking up a few pieces in FA and the draft. I do still maintain we have some great building blocks, but we need a few more pieces and someone to not force those square pegs into round holes.
