Obviously, this is an incredibly important win. One to be relished. It's a division win, a conference win, and road win that puts us at the top of our division.
Again though, that said, if Slappy holds on to the ball in the end zone, I think everybody would agree that McNabb running out of bounds when he did, was a monumental blunder. I dare say, had Portis done so, people would have already picked his bones clean. Even with the win. McNabb shouldn't get any slack for doing something so stupid.
The offense also gets half the blame for the defense's near collapse in the second half, with their failure to sustain drives, so the defense could catch their breath.
Now, you can read me be as being overly critical if you want, but I don't see it that way. I'm relieved that our mistakes are all correctable, and thrilled to win a game while still learning the new dance steps.
2-0 in the division is nothing short of fan-****in-tastic!
But we must acknowledge that with a handful, or less, of plays this season we could be 4-0, or 0-4.
2-2 is damn good. For now.
