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

I think it's safe to say the first half was anything but a failure

I agree the first half was much better than what I expected...

I was very pleased with Jason's play. Santana was really good, too. The starting O-line left a little to be desired, and the penalties were just out of control bad. But our starters had 3 scoring drives (2 tds) against their starters. That's what I wanted to see.

consistency was a problem
Randy Moss was a challenge
Qb pressure..........light
BUT, they paced the Pats and came through when they had to.
.........and some of the rooks look....good!
I'm satisfied

Only badthing i saw on offense was too many flags.Killed many drives when we were in short situations.

Agreed. They need to fix that. I know the refs calls can be inconsistent in the preseason, but a lot of the encroachment penalties made by the defense were inexcusable.

Tonight was not a failure but there are some major concerns.

1) The oline already looks questionable. While big sacks weren't allowed there were several big hits on Jason. The line needs to get much better all around period.

2) Overall very little pressure on the QB. This worries me in the big picture sense. How w/ phat Al and Rak in there can we not get pressure on the QB? Something tells me Blache (edit) isn't scheming in a way that maximizes our talent on D.

3) Penalties. Why is this the same story year after year. Just tons of stupid penalties. We look ill-prepared and basically sloppy off and on through the game.

On the positive side JC and the air attack looks to be coming together a bit.

I liked that the team did punch Brady in the mouth. Who knows how well he would have played in a regular game after getting slammed by Big Al. But as I said, I'm glad we don't face a QB/WR combo like Brady/Moss twice a year.

I agree, especially with #2 and #3. I was disappointed by the inconsistency of the pass rush. And we had way too many penalties and some of them were really foolish.

Can't argue w/ the freakshow of talent that is Brady/Moss. What killed me is how Hall didn't get beat he just couldn't regain position to defend the pass. Say he picks the inside on that play you're talking an INT. The 2nd Moss TD was all on Laron. He continues to disappoint IMO. I expected a breakout season from the kid but so far he's still a step or two late on many of the plays that count the most. I have a sneaking suspicion there's a lack of intensity in Landry keeping him from greatness.

I want Campbell to lead at least two scoring drives, including one touchdown

And I'd like to see us get a turnover or two as wellYou got everything you asked for.
