We can only choose one?

I selected defensive breakdowns. Thankfully, they seemed to have fixed the run-stopping problems by giving Westbrook the slap down. Then again, it was Philadelphia. We'll see how they've adjusted this weekend against Cadillac Williams.

A close second is lack of a strong running game. So far, Gibbs has not been able to do what he really wants to do -- wear down opponents by running the ball 35 times or more.

I would say turnovers, but judging by the way normally sound ball carriers like Thrash and Cooley bobbled the ball the other night, it's obvious these players just aren't as interested in controlling turnovers the way we Warpathers and Joe Gibbs are. Betts had another one, too. For the first time this season though, all of those fumbles just happen to bounce in our favor. Derrick Dockery and Pierson Prioleau were the reason the Redskins defeated the Eagles Sunday night.
