Many of the 1s were out of the game on Finlay's drive if I'm not mistaken.
That said, the Redskins appear to suffer from many of the same issues that have plagued them in the past. For instance, the inability to cover TEs, third down struggles defensively, inopportune penalties on offense and defense, special teams struggles. I don't know...I'm not usually one to overreact to a preseason result, but I'm not quite certain what is changing this year to help turn the corner and help us qualify for the playoffs?
As I see it, this defense is going to have to play lights out for 16 weeks and we are going to have to be very fundamentally sound on special teams to have any chance of being over .500.
