Skins fans - Any comment on last night's one point win over the Titans? YES- I KNOW that it was only a preseason game.
As you said, it is just preseason. But here's my analysis nonetheless.
1) RGIII, Alfred Morris, Pierre Garcon, DeAngelo Hall, and other starters didn't play.
2) Cousins didn't play much (need to keep him healthy) but he played very well. Royster and Helu Jr. ran the ball well for non-starting running backs.
3) Titans played their starters longer and they aren't a terrible team to begin with.
4) Pat White led a solid 80 yard game winning touchdown drive followed by a two point conversion.
There were plenty of things to work on- discipline (too many penalties, many senseless ones), they didn't force any turnovers, they gave up the big run to Johnson, they dropped a few passes, but I didn't see anything that caused me to start panicking. We'll see how things go in the regular season.

I don't have a good feeling about that Monday game vs the eagles since RG3 is not going to play one down until that game. I think he maybe rusty and I don't see the skins playing well on offense
Yeah they are so caught up in who will be the QB but it looks like it won't matter much since the defense is not that good
Anyone who takes a preseason game and tries to correlate that to the regular success is playing a fools game. The coaches are looking at rookies and seeing who can play, period.. nothing else means squat so if your starting QB comes in and throws a pick 6 BIG DEAL! its practice.. means JACK NOTHING!
mco - We were able to watch the Eagles defense play on Friday - and it was NOT good at all - just as bad as last year. It's amazing how players can make it to the pros and NOT be able to tackle or have a lack of desire to tackle.
But YES - that was only week one of the preseason.

Well here in Philly everyone was celebrating including the media when Mike Vick threw a 45 yd TD pass which is something he has always done before throwing a INT-lol
It's been confirmed he can throw TD's the big question is can he stop throwing Int's? And the only way to know that is when he plays in a regular season game more than one series
And he got the contract after missing the playoffs 2 years in a row at the age of 32
They had no choice honestly. Nobody out there any better and the market was deciding this. His numbers proved that he was going to get paid regardless. THE(notice the emphasis) problem is not and has never been Tony Romo.

What do you mean they had no choice, they could have gave him a 3 year deal while they look for a QB in the draft.
A 33 year old QB receiving a 6 year deal and never accomplished anything is weird
