Not that far off!!

The Redskins' offense has out-gained opposing offenses in yardage in three of their four games this season. (Washington is averaging 315.5 total yards and 110.3 rushing yards per game.) They also hold an edge in first downs (67-53) and time of possession (31:59-28:01).

If you look at our offensive stats, you can see that our offensive is productive. I understand that we are not putting up big points but the stats are telling a story of what is going on. I mean think about it this way we must be close to putting it all together. If we can eliminate our stupid mistakes such as turnovers and penalities who knows we could as easily be 3-1 rather than 1-3. Also remember that this is a whole new coaching staff, and that it will take time to for our offense to come together. For alot of our key starters this is their 2nd or 3rd offesive system that they are in. So for us as fans to sit here and think that our offense is going to put up 21 to 28 points a game is unheard of, maybe later on in the season but not now when even our starters are fresh to this system, give them time to learn the system.

I heard a quote once that went:

the stat he left out is our turnover ratio... if we had a +1 there, we'd be 4-0 right now.

I'd say this is more of an endorsement of our defense rather than proof our offense is doing anything worth while.
