Really? A friggin' 30-16 loss after leading one of the worst teams in professional football that - oh by the way- starts a rookie QB. That Redskin defense is aces, I tell ya.I only saw the second half, as I was "skating" in a hockey game. It appeared that I was skating, but I was also digesting an enormous amount of food I'd eaten at my nephews' birthday party only 45 minutes or so prior to game time. Note to self: do not attempt to digest and skate at the same time. I was a pylon out there, pathetic.
Which, come to think of it, was what the Redskins looked like in yesterday's game. Maybe they were collectively celebrating (unbeknownst to us) my twin nephews' party also - they're really cool little kids - I'd completely understand. They can count to 10 in English, Spanish, and Japanese - and just turned three. They seem to like me, and that's a plus.
Who dropped a banana peel on the field late in the 4th quarter??? D'Angelo Hall raised some hackles last week claiming that he wanted to cover the other team's best receiver (does St. Louis even HAVE receivers??) and then......whoopsies! Fell right on his ass. We've all had bad days at the office, they're just not nationally televised. That play's gonna be on "football follies" someday, coupled with his prior statement.
Remember last week? I was down about the close loss to Houston but encouraged that my team had done a good job hanging in there with a superior opponent. This week, I'm fuming. Apparently, Portis played a good 1st half and then.....crickets. McNabb nails Moss with the deep ball and a penalty gets 'em to the 10....drive ends with another field goal. Crickets. This week sucked!!
Hey! Did you read that the Redskins are one of a group of teams that has voted unanimously to decertify the NFLPA? Great news, right?? This means they can sue the NFL ownership if they're locked out after this season. Awesomer. Why can't they vote not to suck?
Much is being made in the paper this morning about how, this time last year, the 'Skins dropped a similar game to a similar Detroit team on Week 3....and it began the downward spiral (or flush cycle, choose your metaphor) that ended with Zorn's departure etc etc. I hope, obviously, that's not the case with this season. I'm confident in the coach and QB, but realistic -- this team isn't that good yet. Trading away years of draft picks and handing out too much money has caught up with 'em, they're older and less-talented top-to-bottom than other teams. No depth. Blah blah blah - all the sports talk babble will tell you this.
And, of course, it's Monday and raining at my house. Screw you, Redskins. I'm all about my new team, the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs.
Oh yeah, the Patriots won. Yay, Pats. See? No real sincerity in it. Second-wife status must suck.
