'Skins Fall to Patriots

It was a close game Friday night, and even though they lost on the scoreboard, the 'Skins should feel good about their performance.

Jason Campbell had a solid performance. He moved around in the pocket well, took some big hits, all while putting 17 points on the board in the first half against a Patriots defense that is always ready to go.

Campbell still missed some open passes, but he made plenty more good plays than bad. He spread the ball around, threw no interceptions, and even ran one in for a touchdown. I'm still in Jason's corner, and I think this is just a taste of what we'll get the whole season.

The defense was solid, but had no answer for Randy Moss. He could hit whatever route he wanted to whenever he wanted. Covering big wide receivers could now be the biggest weapon for the defense, and teams will look to exploit it. No receiver will have Moss's combination of size and speed, but size could be all you need.

Also impressive were the wide receivers. They played physical, and ran some real quick routes. With so many options, they should tear up secondaries this season.

More to come on this game if I get to watch anymore of it, work needs to stop getting in the way of important stuff...like Redskins football.
