Here are some of the big plays from week one for your viewing enjoyment.

Enjoy Fin Bros!

Tannehill to Rishard Matthews for 3-yard TD reception

Jarvis Landry 69-yard punt return TD

Brent Grimes picks off a Cousins pass

Brice McCain makes a one-handed catch to intercept Cousins

Here are some of the negative plays, if you wish to view those as well:

Cousins to Jordan Reed for 4-yard TD reception

Preston Smith strip sack and fumble recovery

Let me know if there's any other plays you wish to see, along with the time in the game they roughly happened and I'll see about adding them.

Edit: JUICE!

That Reed TD was bull****. Was all over Jones. They had 2 offensive PIs called on them that game, should've been 3.

On the Preston strip sack you'll notice Dallas Thomas get absolutely dump trucked. SMH .. Dude has to be more consistent

I also found it hilarious that immediately after the Cousins TD pass the camera immediately pans to RGIII. Dude can't catch a break lol

I don't really think so, if you notice even at the start of the play as Jones is back-peddling you can already see that he's losing his footing.

I did find it amusing how they mentioned that it was a 17 play drive and that the Redskins longest drive last year was 14 plays. Of course it's against our defense.
 
Omg, awesome. The one I'm looking for is the play where Landry looked like he was going to be tackled 2 yards short of the 1st, but powered past 2 or 3 defenders to get the 1st! I 'THINK' it was in the 3rd Q.
 
I liked the Jarvis Landry catch where he refused to go down. Lol That was badass
 
The grimes int seemed more amazing at the game...still pretty nice though. One thing I noticed is how relaxed grimes is throughout the game. Dude was just chillin all game between plays, bobbing to the music and whatnot. Definitely a vet!

I never understood the logic behind thinking it's a bad thing that it took the Redskins 17 plays to score a touchdown as opposed to them doing it with ease in four or five plays.Giving up a touchdown is never a good thing, but if I had a choice of the opponent doing it with ease or really having to work for it I think I would chose the latter.

Because it completely controls the tempo, makes your defense stay on the field for longer, and gives your offense less time to have the ball. Shows that the defense can't get off the field on third down.

I get all of that, but I would still rather have a defense that makes the other team work than have one that gives up five and six play drives. Another way to look at is why is that when Miami has the ball we judge the offense by the ability to make big plays and view that as better than when Miami has to put together time consuming drives. Yet when the opponent has the ball the theory switches and now time consuming drives are viewed as better judge of the offense than big play drives? Afgain I don't want to give up touchdowns at all, but if I had to choose I would rather it be in 15 plays than five.
 
one of the best plays of the game....

u got it backwards. if a drive is 17 plays the offense is working the defense... not making the offense struggle because clearly they are getting first downs. 17 plays can totally exhaust a defense and it shows they cant get off the field and usually includes defensive penalties. you want to know what a good defense looks like? they will be off the field in 3 plays not 17.... smh

Reshad looks like an animal this year. I have to admit when we re-signed him a couple years ago I thought we might have over-paid, but he truly looks like one of the best SS in the league right now. And as limited as our LB unit is we need a man like him back there.
 
Watching that fymble again Tannehill had no chance. The whole left side of the line got beat including Pouncy but thomas got beat the worst.

Ozzy rules
