A home game, a virtually national audience, a boost from a judicial ruling vindicating fears of oppression, and a seeming upgrade to the team from the previous year.

The Redskins did nothing fancy. They did nothing but play solid, low risk football. They played loose, they played confidently and they played smartly.

The gameplan is in on the Saints: Show up. Do your job. The Saints are a mess.

This is going to be a long season. Don't even think about comparing it to the loss last year in the first game to the defending Super Bowl winners. This was a loss to a team that at every position but LB is worse than the Saints. It clearly doesn't matter how talented the players are if they are confused and distracted. It may be game one, but with 5 preseason games and 10 days to prepare, it won't get much better.

When's Draft Day 2014?
