For now the Redskins are ranked #1 in the NFL in total offense and 16th in defense. I'm very proud of the coaches and the players. This team could be very special this year.

Brees would have thrown for 300 plus yards playing from behind against any team in the NFL. He will give Defenses opportunities though, and the Skins could have done a better job of making him pay. Linebacker or not, Orakpo needs to catch that ball, and I believe there was at least one other ball that should have been picked off. We could have totally demoralized him and won going away. Nevertheless, it was an awesome, awesome win!
