Redskins' Bombed During Battle of the Beltway

The Redskins fell to the hands of Ravens Thursday night, getting shut out 23-0. Talk about a great start to the season.

I understand that it's the first game of the season and there's still some time to go until the games really count, but getting shut out is never a good thing. The offense stalled in the middle of the field several times and never even entered the kickers field goal range.

Aside from the shortcomings in points, the game wasn't too horrible. The first team offense proved they'd be able to protect Jason Campbell, but also had trouble opening holes for running back Ladell Betts. I still think they will be the key to the season, and they're going to have to show more improvement as preseason continues.

The best part of the game was watching second year safety Kareem Moore flying around the field, laying crunching hits left and right. He seemed real comfortable in the defense, which allowed him to make several plays.

The team still has a lot to work on, but it's a start. It's better to get all the mistakes out of the way during the preseason, learn from them and go in to the season ready for everything. The team will get better as preseason continues, let's just hope they find the end zone sooner than later
