I wouldn't have felt too good if we had converted on the two point conversion and won it in OT either.
I would have!!!!! Screw what the media says, 4-0 would have been real nice!

I wouldn't have felt too good if we had converted on the two point conversion and won it in OT either. And the critics wouldn't have been impressed as they aren't already. We had an advantage against thier CBs and didn't look to exploit them. The weather was bad for both teams so that can't be an excuse. DENs kicker and punter tilted the scales in the field position game. And yes, allowing two big runs for TDs dug too deep a hole.
A win, is a win no matter how we get it... I can care less about what the critics have to say

Was it just me or did it look Brunell had a clear path to just run that 2-point conversion in?

i think we have some kind of 2 point curse... remember ramsey's overthrow to the open man against philly last year?

this team was a great team that we played. We got nearly 450 yards on the 6th best defense.

We are controlling the clock and putting up yards, but coming up short on points. I think we lost this game because we were missing Springs, Harris, Hall, and Tupa (in that order). No QB pressure = no turnovers = bad field position = fewer points. That needs to get fixed.

I was saying the samething to my fellow Redskins' friend on the phone when we ran that play. I guess, though, we don't see the samethings that the QB thinks he sees. Of course, that should have been the winning TD, considering we scored a safety.

I only followed the game online and I won't get to see it until I get the DVD next week, but to me the equation is simple. 400+ yards of offense and we only score 19 points? Penalties, turnovers and inability to score in the redzone cause that. False start on a FG? Fumble by the QB? Mistakes that may not individually have killed us, but cumulatively it all hurts.
JG wants this team to stop making mistakes. He's going in the right direction, but now he can see we can put the yardage up there, it's about time he starts letting the offense off the leash more and allow them to make more big plays.
Likewise on D they have to turn Arrington loose, even if it's only from the end position. We need turnovers bad. And if he wants such a disciplined D and players who stick to their assignments, maybe he should re-iterate that to the guys that let Bell go for not 1 but 2 big plays. I don't care how disciplined this D is, we need play makers. It's great getting 94 yard potential game tying drives, but I want at least 1 short drive every game because we got the ball off their O!

I agree with you, except it was Portis that fumbled.
