Game plan was lousy. Looked so much like Scott Linehan was back it was scary. Vanilla, predictable and lacked aggression. Lack of adjustments at halftime. Lack of execution. This is where I think the crowd noise contributed most.

But they are still near the top rung in the NFC even after a loss. They lost by 2 on the road to a QUALITY opponent. The defense did not surrender a touchdown. When you consider the turd that the Rams laid against the Bucs at home.

If you are who you say you are, you beat the bad teams handily, and compete against the best teams. So far that is what they have done. 4 weeks is a small sampling size though.

Au contraire -- we lose to good and crappy teams without meaningful distinction. But that's just the Redskins.
