Very proud of the team today even in a loss

Santana is back!! JC looked pretty good. I'd like to murder TO. Hopefully ST will do the evil deed for me on Dec. 30th in landover. We will see them again...at home. Now we have to beat the bucs who won 31-0 yesterday. No easy task

true- but he gives us hope...which is something we've not had at the QB position for years...


he will learn from that...next time, he'll tuck it and run...

You can certainly say the Redskins left it all on the field yesterday. They fought their guts out and just came up a bit short. A play or 2 going the Skins way, and we all could be celebrating a victory today.

I think this loss doesn't hurt as much because it's a game we all expected the Skins to lose. 8-1 Cowboys that is knocking teams over at will against a 5-4 Redskins team that can't close the deal. Watching them play the way they did makes taking the loss that much easier.

As far as Campbell goes, while some says he choked, I can't quite get on that bandwagon for this simple fact: 33-54, 348 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT. He had a great day, one of the best by a Redskins QB in a long while, and while some of his throws were a bit errant, he gave this team a chance to win the game. That pick late could have very well happened to any QB in the league.

However, that being said, the Redskins are now in a stretch where 1 loss can potentially knock them out of the playoffs. They have to play to their full potential from here on out and limit mistakes. The secondary has to step up without Taylor. The offensive line has to continue to provide ample protection for Campbell. And Campbell needs to hit the open targets in the numbers...

I agree, it's a cop out to say that he choked without looking at the big picture and taking into consideration what he did all day. He continues to impress the hell out of me and he's really taking his game to another level. The scary part is he still has a lot of room to improve.

i thought they would get blown out big time yesterday,and i'm so proud they proved me so wrong!i think this redskins team is almost a mirror image of the 2005 team that lost to seattle.if they play like they did at dallas yesterday,they will not lose another game this season.the skins had both of the two top teams in the nfc on the ropes this season,and
just did not make the plays to get the victories.i think that washington will beat tampa bay next week,and lay an ass whipping on buffalo the week after.no matter what their record is,washington is the 3rd best team in the nfc,and if all those expert commentators can't see that,then f**k them all,and the jackasses they rode into town on!!!!!!!!

I haven't had the time to review each and every post since yesterday's game, so I'll be brief. I too am very proud of our team. We played the Cowpokes much closer than I imagined and for once recently, it was an exciting game to watch. We were competitive and had a shot at the win. That is all you could really ask for considering the condition the Redskins are currently in. However, and I see that it's already been mentioned, JC lost the game for us. But, I'm extremely encouraged about his development. I believe we finally have our franchise QB in place and he continues to improve each week. The guy is money and we could point at many other areas of this game that could have provided the opportunity to clinch the win (i.e.- Cooley's dropped pass, etc.). Let's just hope that the 'Skins aren't as accepting of this loss as we here on the Warpath are and continue to play agressively.
