No time for a real post so here are a few bullet points:
- Jason Campbell:
Obviously, we should have had this guy in earlier. Why is it that these decisions seem so obvious to most fans and sportswriters, yet escape the coaches who can actually implement them? I think it comes down to ego. Gibbs had bet his reputation on rehabilitating the franchise, with Brunell as his QB–replacing him meant admitting he screwed up one of the most important decisions the head coach has to make. Which leads me to my next point… - Duckett:
It’s great that Ladell Betts ran for over a hundred yards. But I thought we had finally learned our lesson here. Seven rushing attempts backing up our backup running back is not great. I’ll take the win and shut up, but this team has a terrible habit of keeping the best players on the bench for no clear reason. Might be time to change that. - Redskins in general:
It sure is too bad that we have no chance whatsoever of making the playoffs. It’s very sad, because the NFC East is a shambles this year. A merely competent season would have probably won us the division. I won’t bother mentioning it again, though–all we can do from here on out is try to improve for next year (and maybe keep the Giants out of the playoffs). - Mike Vick:
Enormous dickhead. Can someone explain to me why an NFL team would insist on sticking with a perennial loser with a bad attitude and herpes? He is a total coach killer. - Junior Seau:
The Boston Globe is reporting that Seau “appeared to break his arm” in yesterday’s game. That’s sort of like saying that the Hindenburg appeared to catch fire in 1937. His arm broke. In half. It looked like he had an extra elbow. It was Theisman-esque, and they’ll never air it again. I have DVR and I couldn’t bear to rewind and watch it again. Man, was that ever ugly.
