I guess my only thing for now is that all the hype that I usually never listen to actually did something for me. In between reading all the reports throughout training camp from places like the Redskins Blog and the others, and in the final two preseason games, I really thought we were coming on strong and that we would be ready to play and stand up to the Giants today. Sure I didn't think we'd just stomp all over the Giants in their place but I thought it would be a legit battle that would go down to the wire, and based on our up-tempo offense against the Pats and Jacksonville I figured we'd play the same way tonight. It was just a huge letdown. I should've seen the defensive breakdowns coming because they couldn't get off the field on third downs during the preseason and I also saw shoddy tackling too. I just didn't think our offense would look anything like what it looked like tonight and that was the part that left me in disbelief.

The good thing is that all of the problems we had are completely correctable and it's only the first game of the season so we have plenty of time left to fix our mistakes and start playing good football. I guess there's just a part of me that thinks that maybe this coaching staff, no matter how hard they try, might not get it done, or instead might just act like this never happened and continue on, or in JZ's case, just continue calling plays like he thought it actually worked against the Giants against a similar upcoming defense. I just want us to learn from our mistakes, not just the players, but the coaching staff too. That's the only way JZ, JC, and the rest of the team will be successful this season. Otherwise the JZ era will be shortlived because we all know what Dan can and probably will do.
