Because this is the NFL not Madden. Why kick a FG... just to rub it in?
As for running the ball with 2 min left, you do that to make the Bears burn their timeouts.
But the bears had plenty of time to go down the field and kick a field goal to win 10 to 9.................... So Id rather see us make plays and continue to get first downs to burn the clock............
As for the fieldgoal........hey dont forget about the gamblers in Vegas

That was a great game from the D. Orton looks pretty poised and we made many mistakes. If not for the D we easily could have lost. Great job by Brunell. He played smart and we seem to have recievers that are sort of feared. Go skins!

Anybody hear anymore about Ramsey's injury?
I think D looked great - they gave up 166 total and 41 yards russhing. Nice eh? :)
Line looked great: 4+ a carry on 40 carrys
QBs looked competent, not great. Although I had a gut feel PR would have scored a TD, who knows
Coverage Teams looked much much better; cannot afford turn overs on ST.
Props to Ade Jimoe for the best hit of the day on Muhammed making him drop a ball.
Portis put 18 lbs on and he is a horse
Moss is Legit
Have a bad feeling this game was like the Tampa opener last year....I will be nervous as hell monday before the game. Bottom line however, is a win is a win so I am happy til monday :)

I was "watching" from NFL.com being an out of state Redskin fan.......
but why oh why did Gibbs with a little over 2 minutes to go and Redskins driving hand Betts the ball for 3 consecutive times with little gain and then punted. And after the interception were down at the Bears 17 and Brunell took a kneel......why not give Hall a FG try at least....??????
HHhhmmmm, you can take a knee and not have to give the ball back to the Bears, or you could kick a field goal, give the ball back to the Bears and risk the Bears running it all the way back for a TD. Seemed like the right call to me.

We are going to be horrible this year. Brunell, Ramsey, or Campbell.....doesn't matter. I have been a fan for a long time and have no confidence in our offense. We made the Bears look like the best defense in the league. Everyone act blind and make excuses....because we do that best! I accept reality and look for a worse season than last year. We had everything in our favor in this game and still only won by 2 points. HORRIBLE. We are going to get pounded by KC, Denver, Philly....must I go on. Anyway....all these positive posts make me want to ask if anyone watched the game??'

theres ssome hate to brunell (i think) because he throws shorter passes and (even in preseason) iss less willing to go deep.
He doesn't make mistakes, but he makes less big plays too. Either way, he was fine, but I would have liked at least 1 TD. Moss 4 for 96, 24ypc avg, that' not a bad start. patten was a bit quiet, hopefully we'll see him and jacobs go for gold on monday.
ST on offense ;) would've been nice to see him catch one, but if you guys wanted a big receiver, he's 232 f**king pounds.
