  • Vick a Huge Disappointment. 2005-01-24 3:49 AM.

    Michael Vick sucks. If only he could have not sucked today, he might have beaten the hated Eagles and keep them out of the Superbowl where they belong. But no; he sucked, so the Eagles advance again by default. 153 words.

    My web host borked my first attempt at posting this, but I will attempt to re-capture the magic of what I first wrote. 82 words.

    Washington travels to Tampa Bay for the first round of the playoffs this Saturday. Who would have thought I’d be saying that? The last time Washington was in the playoffs was 1999. 259 words.

    I was indeed wrong about Washington at Tampa Bay, although I shouldn’t have been. No way did the Redskins deserve to win that game after the offense stunk up the joint so badly. 120 yards?? 146 words.

    Ugh. It was embarrassing to watch. The first week, I thought the Redskins looked average; last night, they looked horrible. 134 words.

    I didn’t see the game, but apparently it was a blowout against the hapless Texans (as was expected). The Giants lost (despite what appears to be a valiant fourth-quarter comeback attempt) but the Eagles won, putting them in first place by a game. The Cowboys had a bye week and didn’t play. 105 words.

    One-fourth of the season is behind us. Washington looked like a completely different team from the one I saw two weeks ago. That is, they looked like professionals again. 212 words.

    A total suck-fest by the Redskins this week. Not much else to say about it. The momentum from the past two victories came to a crashing halt. 133 words.
  • Week 6, Tennessee at Washington. 2006-10-16 2:20 PM.

    To quote from last week: “A total suck-fest by the Redskins this week.” I might add that it was an even worse suck-fest than last week, because Washington lost to a winless team with a rookie quarterback. I only saw the last quarter-and-a-half, but it was just awful. No change in the NFC East standings, though: The Eagles lost, so Washington remains 2 games behind, now with 10 games left to play. 124 words.

    Washington forgot to show up in the second half of their game this past week, so they got blown out by the Colts despite an unexpected 1-point lead at halftime. Thankfully, the Eagles also lost again so the Redskins remain 2 games behind, now with 9 games left to play. They are off next week, during which time I hope they figure out how to play football at the professional level. 147 words.

    Washington didn’t play this past weekend, but the Eagles, Cowboys, and Giants did. With the Giants win, they continue to hold first place and look like the team to beat. Their win also drops Washington to a full 3 games behind in the division with 9 games left to play. 258 words.

    Washington pulled a win out of their collective butts by blocking what should have been Dallas’s last-second game-winning field goal and getting a facemask penalty on the ensuing runback. But it counts as a win no matter how ugly or unlikely it is. :) Overall, the Redskins showed improvements in their passing offense (that is, they actually had one), but their defense still looked pretty shaky, especially on third down. 261 words.

    Ugly, ugly, ugly. I didn’t see most of the game because I fell asleep in the first half, and the game was over by the time the second half started. That humiliating defeat all but eliminates any possibility of the Redskins making the playoffs this year. 259 words.

    Two quick, off-topic football notes in honor of the Super Bowl: 1) The Super Bowl MVP voting process is hopelessly broken. The real MVP was Kelvin Hayden, who intercepted an errant pass from Grossman and ran it back for the final Colts touchdown, putting the game away. Before that interception, the Bears were (amazingly) still one big, lucky play away from winning the game, and even had some momentum following their last field goal. 153 words.

    Here’s what I want to happen: Patriots jump ahead early, Giants fight back and finally pull ahead late in the game, Patriots pull it together and win on final heroic drive. 88 words.
