The bigger picture is whether Mike and Kyle can put together a traditional style offense that scores points. We all have seen the offense is lethal when you put the game in RGIII's hands and run him on half our rushing downs, but that's not tenable over the course of the full season and especially not after last week's hit.

Does anyone else see an irony in a redskin fan complaining about the offense regressing because it failed to score 30 points?

Lol yea 30 on the saints-bengals who have top 5 worst D in league they are ranked that because they r easy to score on.

Why doesnt any one see the irony of us allowing 25 points a gm.

We all agree that the defense sucks lol but your not accepting the fact that we are pretty good on offense, maybe u don't like the shannys idk but 28 ppg after 5 weeks is pretty dang good

for the record, points per game our opponents are ranked:
NO 29th
StL 9th
Cin 21st(not bottom 5 as you claimed)
TB. 17th
Atl. 8th

We scored 24 or more in each game (I know the d could be credited with a td in each game but unless you want to start defending the defense lets table that part)
conversely Minnesota has reached 30 only once and there opponents d's ranks aren't much different:
Jac 24th
Ind. 23rd
SF. 1st
Det. 26th (2tds were long special teams returns)
Tenn. 31st (incidentally the only team Minnesota scored 30 against)

edit: changed rankings from total points to points per game to account for bye weeks. stats from espn.com

As for the irony of the D, I dont really see it as ironic. Shanahan historically has weak d's, we have lost several key players, and we knew our secondary was a weakness going into the season. Shanahan and Haslett should be accountable for that part at seasons end.

Wow, the powers that be must be ill? There usually is a game day thread up either prior to game day or put up just after midnight. Loo.

So today and today only I am a Ravens fan, Lions fan, and 49er fan.
