I missed the 1st half of this game because I was watching the Ravens up in Baltimore. I was pleased to see when I started watching during the 2nd half that the 'Skins were only down 14-13. From what I saw, the Redskins looked pretty good. Clinton Portis' back to back 100+ games were forgotten, and Washington went to the air. Jason Campbell had a career game in terms of yardage, and for the 2nd week in a row he threw a TD to a wide receiver. This seems like a new offense when compared to where they were a few weeks ago. Santana Moss' big game was great to see, especially considering his heel was supposed to be killing him. The offense had a chance to win the game late, and it was tough to see them come up short. However, it was definitely a moral victory after seeing the team lose a close one that should have been a win the week before.
Sean Taylor was definitely missed though. T.O is a great player, but he doesn't score 4 TDs if Sean Taylor is back there. He might get 2 or 3, but not 4. Even with a Detroit loss on Sunday, the Skins are still on the outside looking in for the Wild Card. The Giants will probably grab one spot, and the Lions are in the lead for the next one. However, the 'Skins now have the Eagles and Cardinals at 5-5 to worry about as well. Washington holds the tiebreaker with both Detroit and Arizona, and I'm not sure about the tiebreaker with Philly. So the Redskins might need to just match their competition in wins to get the Wild Card slot. However, there aren't any more acceptable losses for this team.
