Guy must be starting to lose his mind as old age is creeping in. Madden has started to lose it the last couple years also.

Orakpo is fierce! I thought Doughty was actually the best of the safeties last night.

He was very strong last night.

The TV broadcast wasn't much better. I guess you can see why ESPN let Mike Patrick go, he's really slipping these days.

Excited to see the defense switching between the 3-4 and 4-3 in the ist quarter..they got a lot of pressure running the 3-4 hope is continues

No offense and all respect intended but I don't buy that MSU stuff. I realize the history of MSU players, especially receivers, in the NFL is poor. But there is no necessary and substantial correlation between college attended and play in the NFL.

Let me put this differently: there used to be "folk wisdom" that Michigan qb's could not make it in the NFL, given a string of failures. Then along came a guy named Tom Brady.

DT has not been limited by his alma mater. He's been limited by his lack of focus.

If we run Betts on the goal line in the regular season I think the Commissioner will have no choice but to open a point shaving probe against the Redskins coaching staff and possibly upper management.

much improved from last weeks performance in most areas. this short week with the starters playing time going up to half time or better will be a great gauge as to where we really are.

I'd like to see us bring the heat to Tom Brady this week.
