NFL Week 2: Redskins beat Eagles, 20-12

Last week I said I would wait until this week to see if I knock the "somewhat" off of my Redskins assessment of "Somewhat intrigued." Well, I'm not doing it. I'm still only "somewhat intrigued."

The Bad: Jason Campbell overthrew a wide open Santana Moss on a sure touchdown, which would have sealed the game. The defensive line gets no pressure on the quarterback, their sacks this week were all essentially coverage sacks. They did not force any turnovers. The Skins were helped by terrible passes and even worse play calling.

The Good: Just about everything else Jason Campbell did. The Redskins beat a conference opponent on the road... and not in overtime. The Redskins gave up no touchdowns and have given up only one touchdown in two games. The secondary played much better than last year week.

So it stays at "somewhat intrigued." Now if the Skins could get a good pass rush we'll start talking, because I'm not too worried about most of the other stuff.
