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.

But i can't seriously remember the last time we have had a QB with a rifle arm and willing to take shots downfield. Mark Rypien had a cannon for an arm, I don't know who else recently besides Jeff George in 2000. Brunell could throw bombs when he was healthy. JC had a big arm but was afraid to throw downfield. Good to see the redskins throw some deep passes after so many years of run, run, run, punt.
Not that it's saying much, but Patrick Ramsey had a cannon arm.

People seem to forget Patrick Ramsey threw for the 3rd most amount of yards in his 2 first career games in NFL history.

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.

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!!!

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.

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

Seems as though this offense, once we start scoring TDs in the Redzone, we were 2-7 in the RZ today, we are going to be a great offense. That loss would have really stung had we not pulled it out. To out gain a team by 235 yrds in a half and only come away with 10 points with 5 trips into the RZ, would really have hurt. BUT these guys fight and win. Wow.
Like to see this.

The packers had tons of close games last year but got it together at the end. This team looks to have some young talent on D and a couple good running backs and some WR and TE talent. If they learn to play through and make red zone plays, we can make some noise at the end of the season.

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

C, I am not trying to look that far ahead yet. I want to so bad, but I am staying level headed about this season. Not trying to get my expectations high, as of yet. I do like what I see, and this is a team that could pull something like that off, as could quite a few teams this year.

The Packers were my pick last year, and I was completely retreating from the pick in like week 5 or 6, and all the way till the end of the year. I only came back on board when they decisively beat the Eagles in the first week of the playoffs. It seemed as though they had found "it" again.

C BTW my daughter just turned 1! (Why I missed watching the game today.)
