Football Thoughts

The Washington Redskins are playing surprisingly good football this season. No question about it. We could very easily be undefeated and some of our wins could have been losses. Luck has come into play on occasion as well. The "tuck rule" lost us the Denver game in my opinion. In the old days of football that would have been a fumble and a safety, period. With the convoluted rules systems and the sometimes misuse of the replay system it is enough to make a man freak the fuck out. Everything that used to be a simple game has become more complicated. I find myself explaining these things to the guy with the Vols hat after 37 busch lights. One thing is for sure we blew the Kansas City game because of turnovers. Under the direction of Spurrier during "the college years" the Skins lose by a minimum of twenty one points. Under Gibbs we lose by seven. Still a loss. No turnovers and we beat the Chiefs. I don't think it is the fact that we haven't caused enough turnovers, but the fact that we made mistakes. Causing turnovers has much more luck involved than actually goes into the prevention of our own turnovers and miscues on the field. Which brings me to my next issue: Put Lavar Arrington in the game. Use his ass until there is nothing left. Why would you keep a speciman like that on the bench? What could you possibly be waiting for? That's all I'm gonna say.

Man it is hard to get a Skins game on in Panther country. "Can you put the Redskins game on, You know the team you rooted for with your Daddy when you were growing up! Remember!??!"

The Mountaineers extended their school record fourteen straight home winning streak against Georgia Southern. GSU became the first school to get it on their second trip during the streak. Not since Wofford beat us October 26, 2002 have we gone down on the mountaintop.

It took ten years, but UVA dealt a crushing blow to the Seminoles this weekend in C-ville. I loved watching the FSU season just get flat out ruined on national television prime time. What a confidence booster after two shitty losses.

Can we go 3-0 this weekend. Will San Fran, Wofford, and UNC go down?
