The redskins performance tonight will be considered a failure if....

First team can't score a TD.

we need to score. pre season or not. they have to get some confidence that this thing is going to work. and of course, no injuries

Fill in the blank. How many points do you expect to see. Is less than 14 points a failure? How about 10?

Points are irrelevant, even with first team in there.

I'd rather have 7-9 first downs in our first two drives than a TD.

First and foremost no injuries. I still only want CP to play one or two series, same with Samuels. It would be a complete failure if CP, Samuels, or Haynesworth has a season ending injury.

It would be nice to see our special teams play effectively in all facets.

It would be nice to see our D stop 3 and medium to longs and get off the field

Our offense is what it is, and we will not see what it can be until the first or maybe second game of the season. And no matter what it does tonight, it will be too little for a lot of people on this board.

With all that, I don't want to see the same type of game we saw against Carolina in last year's "big game".

I agree, the O is what it is. With all the same players in all the same roles, I just dont see the O being any different this year than last.

It will be a failure if there are any injuries. Agreed with some of you before me. Winning is irrelevant. I believe all of Joe Gibbs' super bowl teams lost a majority of their preseason games.

I'm not that concerned if our offense is moving the ball that well (7-9 first downs) against a good defense.

Also if we can move the ball that well TD's and points will come. Our offense though will simply not come that far in just one game.


Points, to me, are still irrelevant. Our offense needs to prove it can build long sustaining drives and keep our defense resting off the field. That is what I'll need to see tonight.

I can't believe how many people here will be satisfied with 10 points out of the starting offense. I guess we've become conditioned to expect such mediocrity out of our offense. I thought I heard most of the starters are going play three quarters, and it's a home game. 10 points in 3 quarters isn't going to win you too many ball games.

If we don't see at least a couple of of TDs, (I'd like to see 3 scoring drives at a minimum) I'm going to be really concerned that our offense is nothing more than the stumbling wreck it was during the second half of 2008.

Moving the ball is nice but points are the name of the game. The points never came last year and its essentially the same offense this year. They cant wait until week 7 to start scoring points, they gotta be ready to go on week 1 and that readiness starts in preseason.
