Re: 2 Qualms with the loss

Hindsight is certainly 20/20. Suisham has the leg to make that (he just missed it as it was), and you take a chance by putting points on the board. If Eddie Murray was still kicking for the Skins, Gibbs would have gone for it...or punted, which would have lengthened the field for the Cowboys.

To me, it seems that GW did what he could to best protect the field yesterday. For most of the game, the Skins rushed 3 and 4, and dropped 7 back in coverage to protect. Without Sean Taylor back there, it's hard to justify blitzing a lot because you simply leave a weakened secondary out to dry.

You cannot put the secondary's lack of discipline square on him. Prioleau and Doughty are a far cry from Pro Bowl safeties, and the Dallas coaching staff saw an opportunity and exploited it. Mental mistakes led to TO getting behind the secondary 3 times in the 2nd half, not GW's preparation and game plan.

As far as Samuels goes, he was left on an island to take care of one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. I don't think there is a single tackle in the NFL that can take care of DeMarcus Ware by himself.

Jason Campbell had a hell of a game yesterday. He showed the coaching staff that they can put the ball in his hands, and he'll make things happen. However, he's still wet behind the ears and missed several key throws. Only reps and game experience will help him correct those.
