7- Loss to an AFC team not NFC.
I was pissed right after the game, but after settling down and thinking about it this was one of the prettiest losses we've had. I'm a huge Gibbs fan from Gibb1 to Gibb2 but no way do we win this game with him. Zorn .... forget it. I had this as one of my team losses on the way to a 9-7/10-6 season. This was a team that went to the playoffs last yr and is projected to go again possibly taking it to the SB and we played toe to toe with them. Maybe even beat them if we scored 1 more TD or hit the FG that was blocked and made the FG at the end instead of shanking it right after Houstons time out.
Lastly.... folks this was an AFC team. If we are going to lose I'd rather it be to an AFC team vs. one of the NFC teams.
Now if they can just get the running game going which sometimes takes more time. Hopefully during the Rams game we can start making it click.

I agree with a lot of this, however, this was not a pretty loss. Anytime you're up 17 freaking points at home there is NO EXCUSES for losing. Houston is a legit football team, there is no question about that. However, I do not care who we're playing, if were up 17 points at home mid-way through the third quarter, that needs to be an automatic win.... but the Redskins cannot seem to ever make those automatic. I know alot of us were expecting exactly what happened, and I'm not surprised at all. I want to take a look at some of the positives, but losing a game like that, makes it very hard to.
