I have no idea what to think. My Redskins just held to Cowboys to 7 points. My Redskins carried a lead into the fourth quarter, against the Cowboys, at their house. I should be happy.  Yet, I find myself wondering “so, what?”

The problem was, that lead consisted of 6 points.  Six lousy points, on two field goals.  I can’t entirely blame Zorn, this time.  The patched up offensive line took another blow, with the loss for the year of yet another lineman.  The second string running back, who had knocked them dead last week with a clutch performance, went down with a season ending knee injury.

Redskins Win Big for the Z-Man!

If you look at this week’s game, it wasn’t nearly as close as the score would lead you to believe. The Redskins were dominant throughout the game on both offense and defense.The weak spot this week? Special Teams.

The Redskins’ Special Teams unit accounted for 14 of New Orleans’ 24 points. Randle-El’s fumble may not have been returned for a touchdown, but it put the Saints in position to score their first touchdown. Durant Brooks should have kicked the ball out of bounds, but instead kicked a low, line-drive right to Reggie Bush (who is already known as a dangerous return man) who promptly returned it for a touchdown.
