9/11/2006: Redskins (0-0) vs. Vikings (0-0)

LOL

ok

What's so funny? Take a look at our schedule. I can only see 3-4 wins that should be a lockup, we will be damn lucky to finish 8-8. I thought we would see improvment tonight from last year, we can't even stay up to par! The defense looked like a high school team on third down and the offensive steadily refused (thanks to the reliability in 14th season Brunnel) to take shots down the field. With the always upsetting special teams we have no shot to the playoffs this year.

It's a very long season.

An opening night loss doesn't break the season.

Well, I'm glad I attended the game, even though we lost, I still enjoyed the experience of being at Fedex and the thrills of being at a game, seeing the action with your own two eyes instead of through a tv camera. Here are some points I'd like to make:

I haven't seen the stats yet, but the Vikings O did a pretty good job against our d. There wasn't a lot of blitzing on our part, and I like to think that can be attributed to the loss of Springs. When G.W. blitzes, he needs to have reliable corners like Springs that can be put on an island and can hold their own. Obviously not having Springs hurt us in that department a bit.

The Vikings d pretty effectively shut our offense down. I saw the screen pass run four times this game, the only one that was effective was the one on the first play of the game. Not only that, but where in the hell was the deep ball? I don't even think Brunell attempted one the whole game.

Speaking of Brunell, normally i'd excuse his performance, but I was rather disappointed at how easily he gave up on some plays and threw the ball away instead of making time by using his legs and taking some chances.

Also, I was rather disappointed with our red zone offense. Two times we were inside their ten yard line, two times we came away with field goals. Field goals don't win games by theirselves. With all the weapons we have on offense, there shouldn't be any excuses as to why we can't punch it in.

So what is the prediction against Dallas next Sunday night? To be honest with you, Dallas looked better yesterday than we did tonight. Jacksonville has the "real deal" defense, but I'm not sure that we can match that considering the effort we put forth tonight. What are your thoughts?

too many throw aways.need to keep the plays alive longer.Im not saying its his fault for loss i just think we need a spark at QB.and campbell can give us that.

Where do you live sniks? EEich and I caught the game tonight at Rookies in Cromwell.
