Thoughts on Redskins vs. Rams

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. After taking an early lead with a nice forced fumble and recovery for a TD, everything just seemed to fall to pieces, even if we were still up for a while. But I’ll do this in order, praise the proper players, and then unleash on everyone who did us wrong.

All Green And Wrinkly

Remember when you were a wee lad and your running joke when somebody would say, “I feel like a million bucks,” was to quickly quip, “Yeah! All green and wrinkly! Nanny nanny poo poo.”

Well I’m all green and wrinkly this week, because I feel like a million bucks. Less than 48 hours removed from the 2012 Washington Redskins opener, and the debut of one Robert Griffin III, I STILL can’t get the smile off of my face.

Let me first clarify something, I am not an optimist – at least not by nature. I’m much more of a pragmatist with a hint of realism for the most part. I take my sports seriously – I take my Redskins even more seriously than that. I believe in supporting your team no matter what, but not necessarily blindly either. I am used to tempering both enthusiasm and malaise as a fan, but alas this week, I cannot temper my enthusiasm. We finally got ourselves an all-world player.

Thoughts From Redskins vs. Saints

Robert Griffin III has arrived on the scene, and what a spectacular entrance he made.

But this isn’t all about RGIII and what he was able to do (which we’ll get to momentarily), it was about the Washington Redskins after everyone in the world of analyzing our team from the outside predicted we’d win only 2 or 3 games. Well, now those same analysts are ignoring that the Redskins’ depleted, garbage secondary couldn’t hang with your average offense, let alone the best offense in the league. Those same analysts are maintaining the Redskins are a 2-3 win team, only now, one of the losses has to come against a team they were almost sure we would beat before.
