We were definitely off and didn't look good in a lot of areas last week.  I wonder if the kicker intentionally shanked it because he wanted to go home. It's not like his job is on the line.  Certainly the local announcers were pissed. The one guy couldn't shut up about how overtime should be banned in pre-season and how he was worried about the traffic on the way home.  Pathetic. Anyway, a win is a win, and we could use it, if only because we have a rookie coach who needs to earn the faith of his players. The Giants looked ready to go last monday. They humiliated the browns.  I'm officially worried about that game. I’m not going to argue with you about our performance, if only because the Jets game made it a moot point.

I did not travel to  the "Sewerlands"  for the game, rather, I elected to stay at home in Orlando and watch this on TV. I actually watched the game with a friend who is a Jets fan. We won the game as much by default as effort. We squandered opportunities in the Red Zone and did not finish drives. It took a dramatic drive by a Brennan led offense to finally take the lead with just over a minute to play. I said to my friend that 1:09 is a lot of time. Sure enough we couldn't tackle anyone on the Jets final drive and the Jets easily moved into position to attempt a game tying field goal. The snap and hold looked ok to me but Nugent just missed a chip shot kick. We were helped along the way especially in the 2nd and 3rd quarters when Jets receivers that were wide open couldn't catch a cold. Redskinsguy, you say that I am being harsh, on the team, maybe someone needs to be, "good enough" just is not "good enough" not in this division, not against our foes. I think this team has enough talent to be a force in the division and conference. But not playing this way. Through three games I see mixed results, and PLENTY of work that needs to get done. I am pleased with the play of the offensive line overall. Across the board, starters and back ups and playing pretty well. I think we have three very solid young guys that can be good players for us down the line in Heyer, Crummey, and Smith. I believe we would be well served to find a way to hang on to all three of them. The passing game has been only ok in my eyes and certainly inconsistent for 2 games now. I know the defense will be better when we get our starters back, but I have seen so many passes completely unchallenged throughout the first 3 games and tackling at times has been horrible. There is not enough heat on the QB and we are not generating enough in the turnover department. Funny how the former leads to the latter. Still, we are 3-0, and pre-season or not, that is better than being anything less. Even through struggling somewhat the last 2 games we have found a way to win and that is a good sign. I am a firm believer that winning breeds winning, and that loosing breeds, well you get the idea. Come on guys, there are 2 games left before this thing counts for real...across the board I hope we get things cleaned up. I am pretty sure that the Gaints will be ready on opening night, I sure hope we are.</strong> Good to see McIntosh and Rogers back on the field against His Majesty Brett Frave-lous.

Our starters had a nice long drive for a touchdown and we didn't let some penalties even slow us down.  Were we perfect? No.  But our starters beat up on an average team and that's what they're supposed to do.  Sure there's room for improvement, but it could be a lot worse.  Remember when we went through entire preseason games without scoring any offensive touchdowns?  I just think you're hitting the panic button way too early.  Sometimes there's no pleasing some people. And DaveDallas, Campbell looks pretty good from where I sit.  I do have some serious concerns about Moss, but Owens is also getting up there in age.  You're one injury away from having Patrick Crayton as your #1 wide receiver and how many years has it been since TO has played all 16 games in a single season again?  You might want to actually try to win a game before you start talking smack.   Redskins777, I think you’re a bit harsh.

I certainly hope we can get some of these issues cleaned up before the season starts. We have yet to attack down the field through 2 games. And don't give me this crap about not showing anything in the Pre-Season either. We need to work on some of this stuff now. Jason Campbell has no connection with Santana Moss whatsoever. This dates back to when he took over in 2006 full time. He is comfortable with Cooley and Randel El, but for some  reason there is no Down Field connection with Moss, and if we are to go anywhere, we need big numbers from Moss. Frost did not help himself much with his first punt, and many of us in the stadium gave him "the bidnezz" for it too. In the 4th quarter, the stadium got (perhaps) the loudest it had been all game long. Some dude came waltzin' in with a Terrel Owens jersey on, and for about 10 minutes there were specific chants of "T.O. Sucks" and "Dallas Sucks." Then after all that finally died down, another dude come in with a Tony Romo jersey on. Suddenly a chant started that I couldn't understand at first, as the chant got more in unison I heard "Tony Ho-Mo" All in all, we are 2-0 and that is better than 0-2, but the bottom line is we were extremely flat against an average (at best) team. We definitely need to step it up a notch or two all across the board prior to Opening night in New York.</strong> I was at the game Saturday, Brennan looked pretty much like the rest of our team did…we need a lot of work.

Besides, the last time we won the superbowl and got a 1st round pick the following year, we blew the pick anyway.  Even if he did go on to become MVP of a superbowl, he was a big bust in Washington. :) Dave, I do this with love, but it will be less painful coming from me than from some Cowboys fan.  No more smoking crack while typing comments, mmkay?

Well when your on a team as with as many injurys as the bills last year you start (alot) So its like colt played a starting d. Not a good starting d but starters He also did it with a back up offence so i hope no one reads into it.  Did any body see how poorly colt played and wonder why?
