It could have gone south if the Bucs didn't do stupid stuff, but the Bucs have been doing stupid stuff all year (or since game 3). So it's a good scheme.

2. A couple of marginal holding calls really hurt us on O. Without them, I think we get another 7 points and this is feeling a bit better on O. We're not good at picking up 20 with this O.

3. Alex missed the dagger long throw. That sucked. But he hit some good throws, too. And no TOs. Is this surprising to ANYONE??? Who have you been watching, not just this year?

4. Specials have been just excellent this year! Way and Hopkins have been outstanding. We saw what a shitty kicker can do with the Bucs.

5. I'm not sold on Manusky, but the D is clearly better.

6. The O is what it is. Peterson is unearthly, but I worry about his durability. Alex does what he does and no more. Getting back the skill guys will help. BUt we need just a bit more out of old Alex if we're going to make the playoffs, I think.

7. I think we can get 3 more wins out of this. Houston will be tough--they're coming off a bye and they are healthy up front on D. And Watson is the real deal. We need a split with Philly, beat the gints, and jax, ten, or the roids on the road. Anymore is gravy. I had us at 8-8, so I'm certainly psyched.

8. Winning is so much fucking better than losing.

Alex Smith looked horrible. This man is the worse qb I've seen in a Redskins uniform since Mark Brunell's first season as a starter.
