…Stephon Heyer is a bad tackle. This is the third game in a row where he gets beat too easily. Happened a couple times on the opening drive. Maybe someday the Redskins coaches will quit the false praise with him.
…The Redskins are doing a good job of finding Santana Moss. He was wide open inside the 5-yard line, but missed by Jason Campbell. Those are the plays they consistently fail to make and it’s not one person’s fault.
…I don’t mind Jim Zorn going for it on fourth down, but I’d love to see some sort of play-action pass in that situation. Did anyone not know they were going to run it left?
…I liked how they spread the ball around offensively on the opening drive. And I like that they’re getting Jason Campbell into a rhythm. But, man, the run blocking is just not good and it will be a problem if it doesn’t improve.
…Chad Rinehart was better on his first career drive than Heyer.
…The Redskins are off-balance defensively. They need to make Matthew Stafford feel the pressure in the pocket and they have not. The line is getting beaten up front.
…It did not help that the Lions started their second drive with a Redskins penalty. Even though they were still inside the 10, the Lions were helped and given a good situation when Kedric Golston jumped offsides.
…When Albert Haynesworth is not at tackle, the Lions O-linemen are able to get to the linebackers. That is a problem. They now think, rightfully so, that they can run on the Redskins.
…Uh-oh. The last thing the Redskins could afford to do was to give a bad team a sense of confidence.
…Carlos Rogers did not react as well with the ball in the air; wonder if he saw it because he reacted late.
…Nice to see some teams can complete a pass on the fade route.
…Hey, look, Fred Davis is on the team.
…C Casey Rabach is getting shoved back too much. The Lions are doing a better job up front against this unit. Want to know why the Redskins struggle in the red zone? It’s the lack of a run game, caused in part by poor run blocking — and that includes the tight ends.
