^ On a side note to your post SirClinton,

I felt we should have won the game also, not because Manning was having a bad day, because to say that would be saying the Skins are not that good and had it not been for Manning having a bad day we would not be close. I felt our defense kept us in this game again even though the Colts were putting up yrds on us. I like to think it was our defense that made Manning screw up.

How many holding calls did I see the Colts offense commit? Too many. When Orakpo gets completely around the OT and the OT has his jersey from behind..... I think thats a hold. No the OT was not pulling on the jersey but he was holding it and it was outside the shoulder pads. On the play when Orakpo stripped Payton of the ball the OT not only was holding but had Orakpo's facemask pulling and turning his head. No flag.

I'll agree with if a play is working keep using it, but the first 40 plays are scripted. They have planned and practiced them all week, and the first 40 plays will usually take you into the half. Which is why I think we look better after the half... because the Skins are making adjustments and using plays that they think will work at that point. I think Kyle is trying to keep Defenses guessing instead of saying "I'm going to keep running this play until you stop it."

McNabb should not be drastically over throwing players, and supprised he underthrew on the last play the Skins had.

The Skins definitly need to do something about the OL.
