1. Great Team effort... Skins actually looked like a really good NFL team for a change.
2. RG3 looked like he has been playing in the NFL for years. Confident and showed he can throw long, short, and both hard and touch passes.
3. Too many people here putting blame on Danny Smith... last time I looked he wasn't out there missing a block on a punt, he wasn't making illegal blocks in the back, etc. All teams have these players that make dumb plays... it's football.
4. Was great to see Skins open up in shotgun and sticking with it in the beginning. Huge success with those WR screens... why did they stop running those for the rest of the game??? If something is working great, keep running it until the other team can stop it.
5. Too many running plays for RG3... half the number would be better.
6. Need to figure out how to close out games better. Only the Skins can dominate for most of the game and still have it come down to the last play. Game should have been over much earlier.
7. Best offensive game calling than I've seen in years from the Skins... Think they really shocked the Saints by having every play work so good in the first Qtr.

Number 6 is the only thing that bothers me. There must have been three times i felt safe only to start sweating again. I think kyle took his foot off the pedal way to early mainly our last drive with 1:30 run run run punt at end of half resulting in the blocked punt td You cant protect a 10 point lead against drew brees in the dome....ever.
Rg-3 talked about number 4 after the game. I was in a loud bar but thought he said the saints had figured it out and they started working the middle of the field than which led to more big plays. Hell you take awAy the blocked punt, the bad penalty by madieu williams and the very strange blown coverage where ( was it griffin?) that pulled back at like the ten yard line for some reason and that was a blowout. Game was so much worse than the score. Im goin to the cincy game and fully expect to be three and 0 driving back to new jersey with a big fat smile on my face.
