Based on how we performed in the season opener, we needed this:

* Talk is cheap. We "TALKED" about how we had a chip on our shoulder and had something to prove. I didn't see it (...did any of you)?

* We were flat. Drew Brees set the tone with the first series of THREE and Out (3 incompletions). Compare this to RGIII starting out with 8 straight completions (albeit of the short variety). That helped him get in a rhythm, and it grew from there.

* There is PARITY in the NFL now. There are no "SCRUB" teams out there. It's on any given Sunday from here on out.

* Uhhhh.... just how many times did we rush the ball?

* Uhhhh.... how many penalties did we have? We CANNOT blame the refs. The 12th man on the field really put a wet rag on the defense... after they actually turned things around to make the Redskins punt.

I could go on, and on... but the points are obvious. We needed this as a WAKE UP CALL. We either circle the wagons and look in the mirror, or this opportunity for a legitimate shot at SB XLVII is a fairy tale.

I, for one, believe we'll turn it around. But we can't blame the refs or take anything from the Redskins. THey played their arse off, and left one of the most hostile (visitor) environments with a "W."

We can do it; the Season Opener was probably the medicine we needed. Hard to admit, but that's the way the cookie crumbles!

OK... flame me.
