Why all the complaining?

Of course JC should be able to throw for 300 yards a game and Portis run for another 200 because that's what they do on Madden 08 every week. "Take the handcuffs off JC" and "open up the offense". This is a tired and ridiculous decree from people who obviously prefer the AFL over the NFL. For the people who refuse to accept that having only 2 of five opening day starters healthy along the Oline and hate the "conservative playcalling", watch the Lions, Bengals and Colts. They are far more exciting though with various degrees of a winning record. Even Manning has looked human with Tarek Glenn retired.
For those who are just waiting for the Philadelphia Soul to retake the field and would rather lose 49-48 than win 3-0, please just tune into the NBA or better yet play Madden 08 and tell all your friends that you could take the Dolphins to the SuperBowl if only you had the job.

You're missing the point. Yes, the Skins won, but with yet another lead at the half, they had their asses handed to them in the 2nd half, and were extremely fortunate to win. What you, me, and every Skins fan wants to see is reasonable progress and production from the offense. Three 3 and outs in the last three posessions with the game on the line just won't get it done most weeks. It was obvious that the power running game wasn't working, and the Cards weren't respecting anything deep, so why not go to three and four WR sets to spread the field? Maybe open up more running lanes that way. Something, anything, show us a little creativity when the original plan isn't working. To me, it appears that we're coaching scared on offense. Thank God for Gregg Williams D, but even that won't be enough against the Pats if Gibbs is content to play for a 17-14 game.
