Under these conditions, I would expect a conservative game plan, particularly with a tight score, which it was last night. The running game never got going enough to really open things up, and that Lee dude seemed to break up all the screens and bootlegs. So the number one priority of the Redskin offense was to not turn the ball over, which they didn't do. We saw good situational game calling; it just didn't work out. Sometimes you just lose games.

Lotta truth in your first paragraph..But knowing we came into the game limited, do you think Gruden and O staff was prepared?
What about A gap middle linebacker blitz with the stunt coming from the DE...why didn't we make adjustments, why didn't Gruden/McVay go up to Kirk and say "Hey, if you see this, you gotta make the adjustment at the line" It doesn't look like we did.
Maranelli really outcoached Jay...I look at the Jets game and the first Giants game where the defense really outcoached the o staff.
