The Dallas Cowboys have opened the season at 0-2, after yesterday’s loss to the Chicago Bears. So far, so good 
Next week, they play at the Houston Texans, who managed an improbable come from behind victory over the Washington Redskins in overtime yesterday.
That the Skins blew a 17 point lead was a bit much for this long time fan to take. Yes, the season is still young. But there’s no way the Skins should have lost that game. The running game was awful. And I’m not happy with McNabb’s choices – he goes long far too often for me. Just because he can throw the ball 70 yards doesn’t mean he should do it at every opportunity. Sometimes, you gotta pick up the first down.
As for the Texans icing the rookie kicker – well, if I had been in their shoes, I’d have done the same thing. But it shouldn’t have come to that. Field goals instead of touchdowns early plus the blocked field goal got the Redskins into a mess. Confusion in the secondary made things worse.
The Redskins got outplayed when it mattered the most. Hopefully, they’ll learn from this and make some adjustments heading into next week’s game at the St. Louis Rams.
Otherwise, the only thing we’ll have to cheer next week is the Cowboys going 0-3.
Laron Landry was the best part of the game. He shined.
