Complaining about officials and looking at stat sheets for some kind of solace is what LOSERS do. So stop doing it. The Skins played their toughest opponent thusfar and played them tough and close. That is a good sign, not a bad one.
The only unit on the team that really needs to get a kick in the ass from the coaching staff today is the OL. Five sacks is just too much to allow and when you have first and goal at the one, you are supposed to get a TD. The OL is the only unit that underperformed last night.

The defense did let the team down on the last possesion because Dallas should not have gotten the first down to keep the drive going. The mistake that Smoot made cost us. And the defense fell apart on that series because Testeverde threw two consecutive passes to score. No pressure at all on Testeverde. The defense is also responsible for two big F ups.
