Rex has gotten better, but he still will make a dumb throw every now and then i.e. the forced throw the first drive of the game.

He's more efficient I would say. And one of those ints wasn't on him.

Just sorta seems like you're nitpicking when you call out one int.

I would think him throwing the ball too high was his fault.

Rex might make some bad plays, but like I said in the gameday thread that he will lead us back and make plays for us

Re: We've cut it real close two weeks in a row

who cares if we've cut it close? in case you haven't noticed this isn't a great football team. we're not going to walk on the field and blow people out. most likely every game is going to be close.

Sorry bud, this is not the same team as last year. With under 20 players from last year being carried over, there is absolutely NO evidence to show that this isn't a great football team. In fact, in the past, we'd be in on the losing end of this due to bungled plays. It matters a big deal because good football teams WIN these types of games.

I agree, this isn't last years team. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves. After two games we've beaten a beat up Giants team at home and a terrible defensive team in Arizona. I'm not calling this team great after two games.

The proper title for this thread is:

A. Moss is the Man on 4th Down
B. Rex: Erratic Yes, But Don't Count Him Out
C. Skins Improving in Close Games?
D. Random Redskins Thoughts

Re: We've cut it real close two weeks in a row

One other thing about Rex that nobody has mentioned: his toughness. We all know our O-line isn't the best, and he's definitely taken his fair share of big shots the last couple weeks. That these hits haven't rattled him or gotten him off his game is invaluable, and are a far cry from our recent QBs *cough* mcnabb. I love what I've seen out of Rexy so far, and especially that.

Re: We've cut it real close two weeks in a row

Well for the second week in a row I have missed watching the game in real time. I have it DVRed and I will when I get home. I did follow it and have friends texting me during the game, and I have to say it seems as though from someone who was getting there info second hand, it was an extremely tight game.

I love how we came back from 8 down with 10 minutes to go in the 4th, and won for a change. This team is different from the past, and I believe that Rex has something to do with it. You have a bunch of young guys, guys who are looking to win, and guys who are looking to prove doubters wrong. This is a good thing to have as a make up for a team. This could be a winning team this year. I am not making any predictions right now as I am just happy to see this kind of football in DC again.

This is a team I am proud of as a fan. There are plenty of doubters, hatters, and people who have no faith in our team, some still believe that DS is still putting things together.

I started way to many sentences with this in this post, but I am feeling to lazy to go back and rewrite any of them.

I can't wait to watch the game next week in real time! WE WANT DALLAS!!!

Re: We've cut it real close two weeks in a row

We beat NY by 14, shoulda won easily today. Once this offense gets rolling I think we'll win a few blowouts.

A good team does beat the Giants by 14 and then beats the Cardinals by more than that.

This was not a very good team today, but the Cardinals are an opponent who were ripe enough for the picking so that the Redskins could play a lot of losing football and still be in the game at the end.

I don't feel as good about the future prospects as I did going into today. But at least with the past results...they can't take those away from you. And 2-0 was as perfect as the Redskins could have been on this "homestand."

We accomplished our stated goal, but that was ugly.
