Tough loss. We had the game in hand but it was a case of missed opportunities. Moss admittedly had the worst game of his career. He fumbled leading to the 57 yard recovery TD that put GB ahead. Worse, on the ensuing drive, he dropped a 30 yard strike that was right in his hands. Moss had 4 dropped passes ('Skins had 6 dropped passes total) and pulled himself from the game in the 4th quarter. However, like Moss, I am not making any excuses for the loss. A loss is a loss and we are now 3-2.
The good news is that Campbell continues to shine. He had another solid performance and his numbers would have been much better if the receivers had held on to the ball. His decision making is good and he continues to mature. Not bad for a guy making his 12th NFL start.
Also, the defense continues to play well. We are actually getting turnovers and sacks this year which was completely lacking last year.
The bad news is that the offensive line has been decimated by injuries. First we lose Jansen and Thomas, now we lose Rabach for perhaps an extended period. Wade is hurt with a pulled groin (seems less severe and hopefully he can play). Also, Stephon Heyer seems to have hurt his hamstring. We'll find out later today the extent of those injuries. That's five injuries to the O line. This could become a HUGE issue for the 'Skins. We were already playing a makeshift line and it will become even more makeshift now.
Each week brings another test. I am disappointed with the loss. Again, it was a game that we let slip away. However, I am happy that we played well enough to win and we are showing that we can compete and, perhaps outside of the Cowboys, it looks like we can compete against anyone in the NFC.
