I am not Paul Helms
Former Daily Bulletin writer Paul Helms could take two games and turn it into an earth shattering trend.

I am not like that.

However, it's nice to know that Gibbs/Redskins v2.0 won its first game:

The Redskins got off to a fast start on Sunday--in more ways than one.
First, it was Clinton Portis who, on his first carry as a Redskin, burst for a 64-yard touchdown run, giving the Redskins an early 7-0 edge over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Redskins' defense got rolling early, recording four sacksm two turnovers and keeping the Bucs' offense out of the end zone.

It all added up to a 16-10 season-opening win for the now 1-0 Redskins.

More from Sunday's game? It was head coach Joe Gibbs' first regular-season victory since returning to the Redskins last January.

It was the franchise's 500th regular-season win.

And it all played out in front of a record-setting crowd of 90,098 at FedExField.

"We're absolutely thrilled," head coach Joe Gibbs said. "I don't know when we've fought any harder. I think both teams laid it out there as best they could. It was a physical, hard-fought game.

"It was a big win for the Redskins organization. I didn't really think about that fact that this was the 500th win until someone mentioned it after the game. But it's big for the organization."

But ex-Redskin Brad Johnson and Tiffany's love Jon Gruden will do well...

UPDATE: Typo corrected. "Wont its first game???"
