So that's more than 50% of the time we've essentially gained zero yards or lost yards on first down

I don't know what the league average is, or even really what the Redskins average is but if you're going to give your offense just three downs basically you might as well be playing in the CFL

Good post. And those 2nd and longs led to 3rd and longs, so the Lions were able to just pin their ears back and come after McNabb.
