Opening the season with a prime time win against Dallas last year was epic, no question. However, I think opening the season with a win against the Giants AND watching a prime time meltdown by Dallas might just rival it.
I say it's better. Last year we won in spite of ourselves. Today we won because of execution and ended a terrible loosing streak to the Giants.

So a Redskin's win, a Giants and Cowboys loss and we're the only team that's 1-0 vs the division? #euphoria

Next weeks 49ers vs Cowboys should be interesting, I put my money on the 49ers to win.

I think that kickoff coverage is now more akin to a run blitz. Either you get them in the backfield or you leave yourself exposed for a big gain. Also I think we've seen during the past two years that the wedge was clearly holding teams back and a poor excuse for strategy. However no one thought to change it until the rules forced them to. It's kind of like discovering that three wide singleback is more effective then the wishbone by accident.

Sadly the Rams couldn't put the upset, so the Iggles are 1-0. Although, I'm still predicting Vick getting injured, b/c their o-line sucks.

Well, the Eagles didn't beat a division opponent today. Which I think was his point

Ah, I thought he was talking about overall record. So we are at top of the NFC East. Yay.

What I liked today was how Vick wasn't invincible. Under 50% passing, 1 lost fumble, 5.8 ypa, and sub 200 yards through the air. A better defense can stop that or at least contain it. Granted he still had a great game when you factor in 98 rushing yards on 10 carries (I mean yards are yards) but he's not doing it with the same type of efficiency that he was in 2010.
Don't get me wrong, Vick is still dangerous but if today was any indication we're not dealing with the same guy that destroyed everyone via both passing and running. In short he's still a better QB then he was in Atlanta, but if we're lucky he won't be the same guy we saw last year.
