From Extremeskins. This guy started his thread with this.

The First 55 Minutes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I don't have any respect for people who become experts in hindsight. So, I'll say this while we're on a high after the win in Dallas. The Joe Gibbs' plan for our offense stinks. It's even worse than I had guessed.

Mark Brunell has more left in his tank than I figured, his style fits this offense, and for 55 minutes of Monday night's game, I sat with a bag over my head in front of my television set, ashamed to be a Commander fan.

Dallas, playing a new defensive scheme, with several young, inexperienced players, stuffed us for the first 55 minutes. We didn't even get close enough to try a long field goal.

Patrick Ramsey wasn't the problem; he doesn't fit this system. Mark Brunell isn't the problem. We need to stop blaming the QBs and direct our attention to the coaching.

Since most offenses stop themselves if given the chance, it's easier to be successful coaching the defense. Coaching the offense is far more difficult. There are only a few coaches in the NFL who can get an offense into the end zone consistently while lacking dominant talent. The evidence is mounting that Joe Gibbs isn't one of them.

Can't argue with what he said. Their offense stunk last year and their passing game seemed awful against us until 5 minutes to go. Still, the way that Williams runs that defense, they will stay close enough in games to have a chance.

Let them have their fun. They have the right to smack talk and gloat over an exciting win (for them). If I was a skin fan I would still be worried despite the nice 2-0 start. Their defense is still excellent and will keep them in most games. On the other side they appeared to have a strong o-line but their interior 0-line was overmatched against our new guys (Fergy, Canty and Spears). If this happens against other teams they will continue to have problems moving the ball. They certainly appear to be a better team this year but there are still a lot of questions with that team. I don't want to predict a record but they still have loads of improvement to go if they want to be a playoff team imo.

One sports writer tabbed Brunnell the "modern day Clint Longley." That was about the best description I've heard so far of what happened on Monday night.

Vinny did the same thing to them last year.
