My main frustration with the Redskins in recent years and this one as well is a lack of a killer instinct. I look at the last 2 real dynasties in the NFL, the '90s Cowboys and the Patriots (until injuries this season). They did two things that great teams do, they crush (not just beat) the teams they should beat and their playmakers made big plays in big spots in the games that they are playing a team or near their level. They don't play to the level of their competition, they don't kill themselves with stupid penalties and turnovers, they go for the jugular. I was re-watching the Bucs game the other night and the 3rd and 2 call with 2:33 in the 4th quarter was just a bad play call. That's a spot where you'd see Aikman go to Novacek or Brady go to Troy Brown for the first down to run out the clock for the win. Playing not to lose is the equivalent of the prevent defense. Smart+fundamentally sound aggressive football=winning football. Until that's who we become 8-8 is the best we can hope for.
