You run the ball, run the clock down and get a good punt to pin them back deep. I probably would have lined up in the shotgun and run a draw or little dump off pass personally. By the way, Frost's punt was awful. Just awful.
3. Moment of silence means moment of silence. The rest of the league understood that, why couldn't we? It's like that idiotic "OH" during the Star-Spangled Banner.
4. Save for the Giants game, we're really not blowing massive leads. That doesn't make it ok but it just means we are a competitive team but not a dominant team. A lot of it has to do quite honestly with...
5. Jason Campbell. The guy is going to be the best Redskins QB since Sammy Baugh. I 100% believe that, but (with very few exceptions) every great QB goes through the kind of season he's going through right now. For whatever reason, I think of Kobe's three airballs in the playoffs 10 years ago when I think of Campbell
6. "Please Stand By"
7. The Browns got ROBBED today...and that really really hurts us. Seriously didn't anyone else see that? That was definitely a TD

Not sure what happened to six, other than I'm a moron. In terms of the moment of silence, I agree with you completely, just wasn't sure if you were at the stadium to hear why they were cheering- however misplaced. for the record, since we now have the nats, I'm not sure why people yell (o's!!!).
As for the "playing smart" I think we'll have to agree to disagree...while I think your call of a shotgun draw would have been infinitely better than what we ran (at least showing sign of a throw), we were only ahead by 2 points, and buffalo had kicked 4 previous fg's (while moving the ball well), not to mention the fact that our prevent defense is dismal. I really think we have to play to win there, a first down wins it.
