Positives for this Week:

I agree..this was a much improved TEAM...yes, the D set up both TD's but the offense actually got into the endzone. Before the Turnovers we got barely resulted in a score. I think the Offense improved. Everyone is looking as if the offense needs to Throw for 300+ yards and run for a 100+ to be an improvment. I disagree. The Offense has IMPROVED but some people are so blind and want to hate Brunell so much they can't see his improvement. I admit he made some mistakes and overthrew his receivers a few times. But he also made some excellant throws when he needed to. I guess hitting the TE for a 23 yard gain when they needed 21 for a first down was nothing. I guess the TE just magically got the ball in his hands and Brunell had nothing to do with it. Granted he did fight for the extra 7 yards to get the First down but Brunell gave him the chance. I just wish everyone would stop saying Brunell is so "Awful" when he has improved. No he isn't where he needs to be..but neither is the rest of the offense and to blame it on Brunnell us just unfair.

I have been with Brunell from the jump. But, that overthrown TD really really hurt us. I felt the second INT by Springs was going to be turnaround for our season reminiscent of Lavar's INT against the Panthers.

KUDOS to the defense---didn't give up........Springs and Smoots-INTS! Special Teams are improving. That's the positives

the announcer only said that the redskins were still in the game about 487 times, and every single time i said to myself "self, we really aren't still in any game that we relinquish the lead as long as mark brunell is still the QB................ of the redskins" and low and behold we aren't, haven't, and never will be with this has been HACK! Can we pay him more money to leave!!!!!!!!?????????? please!

That 4th and 21 was all Royal. Brunell threw it like 7 yards on 4th and 21, and Royal made a GREAT effort at the end to get the first. I dont care if people call me blinded and biased, but I've watched this guy f*ck over too many games for me to be quiet. He is a large part of the problem.

Hey now, 11 - 5 isn't a record to scoff over! ;-)

I have been with Brunell from the jump. But, that overthrown TD really really hurt us. I felt the second INT by Springs was going to be turnaround for our season reminiscent of Lavar's INT against the Panthers.

I was thinking the same thing on that INT. And not to bring the whole defense must score issue again, but the way he was running around east-west on that first INT was like someone who felt that just getting interceptions wasn't enough anymore. It's like he felt he had to score because the offense wasn't going to do it.

springs reminded me of smoot last year, when he refused to sit and was throwing up after the games etc... he's just tired and if no one else is gonna fix it, he'll damn sure try...

anyways, blocking after turn-overs was better, STs didn't totally suck, the O was even a bit better... but favre completely abused and overmatched our safeties... i think lavar + taylor would have probably taken 14 points from GB... fookin sean taylor! grow up so i can watch you on sundays...

play calling had some gadgets and more jacobs, which is nice, BUT almost every single brunell throw was high by like 2-3 feet AT LEAST... he's taking the don't turn it over thing to strictly... he can't he anything and he's turning it over anyways :(... he was actually a bit better today, but he had time to not eat at least a couple of those sacks, and he still can't throw over 10 yards with an consistancy... and i'm really getting a little miffed that gibbs keeps praising him and saying its the whole offense, not just him... seems more like its the whole offense because of him...

summary:
*still have way too many injuries
*D good, ST much better, downfield TO blocking better... rehire danny smith for now...
*O sucks cause brunell sucks whether you want to agree with me or not
*only thing worse than brunell are these damn refs they keep calling in to officiate our home games...

We came from behind and won 21-20!!! What, we didn't????? (I'm still in denial)

Smoot and Springs rule. Also, great effort to the entire D for holding GB to 3 points in the second half due to the failed on-sides kick...which I thought was a good gutsy call though (and yes, I'm ignoring the TD after the refs stole the game from us).

Ahman Green was held to 70 yards, at least 10-15 of which came after the bad call and INT that took the life out of us.

Great effort by Gardner. He really seems to have turned it around, and is becoming the clutch receiver he is supposed to be. Awesome on the high one he pulled down! Now if Brunell could actually throw the ball TO the receivers.....

Great effort by Royal on the 4th down conversion.

I liked the not-so-conservative play-calling....the end around early on, Gardner's pass, the on-sides kick, going for 4th down (considering the situation). The balls (and the calls) are still going the other way most of the time, unlike Gibbs first go-around, but it will come around....it HAS to!!!

Clinton only had 70 yards, but he also (should have) had about 60 yards receiving including a TD.

It was nice to see Jacobs getting more involved. He has the potential to evolve into a star in this league.

Morton is looking better and better each week with his returns....he seems to be "that close" to breaking one....hope he is alright.

Gardner looked great. (once again that crow tastes good). Jacobs is getting more involved and had some good gets. I was happy to see Portis more involved in the pass game.
The D had trouble at first but solidified and once again put us in a position to win.
