Yes indeed. 257 yards rushing is awesome ... against the 27th ranked run defense in the league who apparently forgot to practice tackling this week.
I was one of those who was "all over the offense" last week for not making plays. Was I supposed to make excuses for them? Was I supposed to be applauding their performance when for the third game in a row they could not add to a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter?
Sorry dmek, as a fan, I reserve the right to bitch when my team loses. But forgive me if I don't share in the thoughts that they are back on the track to the playoffs because they played a team who is in worse shape than the Redskins are. When they beat Arizona next week, and then take care of business at home against the Cowpies the week after, then maybe my hopes of seeing this team salvage the season and maneuver in position for a wild card spot may be rekindled.
Yes it was a great job by the offensive line, and they manhandled a team that they should have manhandled yesterday. But as is often the case in recent years, the win against the Rams may have been too little, too late. Beating teams with renewed fervor and excitement after being eliminated from playoff contention is a pattern I expected to see stopped cold when Joe Gibbs arrived. I hope we won't see that two years in a row with him in charge.
