Once this game is broken down, thats about as dominant of a performance as we have seen here in a while, on both sides of the ball against a very good football team, Special Teams absolutely killed us today.
All in all, it made last weeks loss hurt alot less, and the outlook for the rest of the season considerably brighter
35-3 You forgot about the Bush punt return.

I want the uniforms in your avatar.
Zorn said he was changing the uniforms around due to the heat in the early part of the season.
...any given Sunday....
RIP #21 Sean Taylor. You will be loved and adored by Redskins fans forever!!!!!
GSPODS:
The National Anthem sucks.
What a useless piece of propagandist rhetoric that is.
Being one of the harshest critics of Jason Campbell, I can honestly say that this was a Jason Campbell win. We would not have won this game with the "pre Zorn" Jason Campbell we have seen these past two years. Yesterday, he did the things that he's failed to do in the past, and I have to say that Zorn is probably a key element in this change. I hope Jason keeps it up, and I'll be rooting for him with reserved optimism. With continued improvement such as we saw yesterday, we'll be fine on offense....we have the weapons....all we needed is to get the ball to them, and Jason did a good job making it happen. First come from behind victory for Campbell!!!
And I can't even begin to voice the relief in how the defense has shown up to play under Blache. I like the press coverage that we're seeing more of so far, and ya gotta love Horton. But don't miss what Blades is doing....he filled in extremely well, and that's also cause for celebration.
And a big thumbs up for Zorn. Gutsy 4th down call shows that he's playing to win instead of playing "not to lose" as has been too often the flavor of this team!

I'm on the rookie's bandwagon but either way (Reed or him) is good for me. Seems like they corrected everything I griped about last week including ey blocking, JC running away from the defense instead of towards them..LOL.
Our defense stills needs help though, we gave up 24 points regardless and we had to come back. Damn I hate having to come back, I want the lead and to stick wit it.
According to news articles and Zorn's presser yesterday, #37 will be back as the starting SS against the Cardinals. I agree with this move (for NOW) as he still has significant actual game experience over Horton. Regardless I think the rookie has earned his way onto the field for much more than the 7 snaps he got against the Giants, and will most likely be the starter by mid-season if not sooner.
As I've said before, I followed his career closely while he was playing for my beloved Bruins, and this is a good thing. He has tremendous instincts for the game. His play Sunday was NOT an aberration. He has been around the ball in every game I've ever seen him play, bar none. He has the potential to turn into a fine starting SS.
All though Moss had a good day. Moss is a big play threat. We need a Art Monk type consistent receiver to compliment this offense. The guy who can get us those 5-15 yard 3rd down coversion catches. Which is what I hope Kelly or Thomas can become. As far as the receivers are concerned.
Big Ups to Cris ey who I take for granted because I expect that out of him. Wooo!
Defense was not great but solid. A great performance from a rookie saftey. Looks like we found us a late round gem.
Portis was steady as always. Jason Campbell really stepped up this week. Progress is the words that come to mind. Still much to improve on. But progress was acheived this Sunday. Wooooohooooo! Keep up the good work team.
Trust me folks when Thomas or Kelly get going this team will really be special.
