ThE D played very well today. Holding Portis to 100 yards says a lot. Last week behind the same O-line he had over 200 I believe. Yes that last run by Portis ended the game. But we lost the game before that play. I agree that the 4th and two should have gotten us a 1st down. Davis was pulling and JJ didn't see him and continued to drag it out wide. Throw for it run for it? The defense was expecting pass. I don't blame Green.
Look at the stats. We averaged more Yards per play. Had the same amount of playes. We kept them down to a tad over 200 yards for the game and we were over 300 yards. Darling had a great game and the line held tough on run plays. The Q push out was a very bad call. It should have been a catch, but you can't challange that play, Judgment, Bad judgment. JJ's fumble , sad because he had made the 1st down. I would have put the kid right back in, but I never coached a pro team.
Warner was cat quick. Held the ball the first two fumbles to long. The O-line didn't give him much time but he kept finding guys. THE TD was very pretty to number 19 and seeing Rackers back was great. IMO we are very close. We lost this on teh return. Had Rackers been healthy it would have gone further and higher, but he wasn't. The crowd was great and I look foward to seeing them next week against Houston and back home against the Eagles. If we play this hard we can win both those games. I want to say thanks to the team for showing up against a tough Skins team and for making it exciting till the last snap.
