Oh man what a game. It really had everything…Defensive first half, offensive second half, turnovers, backup QB’s, and ultimately, a Redskins victory. What more could you ask for? Actually, I would have asked for about 20 more degrees. Anyway, here are some thoughts on the greatest single day of my life up to this point.
-Todd Collins can’t keep playing to that caliber. It’s not possible. He doesn’t have the intangibles to be successful against our next three opponents. But still, boy did he put on a show last night. I’m not saying I’m gonna go buy his jersey, I’m just saying that I won’t judge anyone that I see wearing one.
-18 degrees is much much colder than you think it is. After every big play from the Skins I would hug the random guy next to me, not in celebration, but to keep warm. And I’m not ashamed to admit that.
-The Bears are terrible. The only reason the Skins won that game is because the Bears secondary refused to tighten up their horrific zone coverage leading to about three Skins receivers being open on every play. And if youre Lovie Smith, how can you expect us not to throw the ball when our “best” player has 33 yards on 14 carries. Come on.
-I heard the NFL Network did a better job on this game than their first of the season. This is impressive since there must have been TONS of downtime during the first half, which is valuable time for Gumbel to giggle like a school girl and mispronounce common football terms such as ‘football’.
-The Bears are in talks with Derek Anderson to be their QB of the future since it’s obvious that this Rex/Griese thing they got going will bring them nowhere. I can’t imagine the Browns giving up the best player on their team.
