1. TD or not TD?<\/b>
\nWith the Skins leading late in the 4th Quarter, Ex-Redskin Stephen Davis was handed the ball near the goal line. The ball was knocked loose and the Redskins recovered. However, one official raised his arms indicating a touchdown. The ruling on the field was upheld for lack of evidence in the replay. Watching the play, again and again, it appeared that Davis\u2019 knee was clearly down prior to his \u201cstretch.\u201d It was a little like watching your Mothers\u2019 favorite vase fall off the mantel, a dozen times. It\u2019s time to pick up the pieces – again.<\/p>\n
2. My Foot! <\/b>
\nPatrick Ramsey\u2019s foot has been broken for the past several weeks \u2013 it was announced by Coach Spurrier after the latest loss to the Panthers. Ramsey\u2019s been hit, kicked, stomped, thrown, punched, cheapshotted and splattered for 9 weeks. Even a bona fide NFL QB might have found a way to stay out of the lineup. He could have used any excuse, the could have whined and cried, he could have sued the team for lack of support \u2013 but Patrick Ramsey is tougher than any QB in the NFL. If he\u2019s able to walk by the end of the year, Ramsey has a shot to be the best Redskins QB in their storied history. Better than Sammy, better than Sonny and better than Joey T. Please, can we get this guy some protection?<\/p>\n
3. Hang on to the Rock <\/b>
\nRock Cartwright had a costly fumble against the Panthers \u2013 and so what? Rock has been a breath of fresh air to the otherwise limping backfield. He\u2019s tough, gives every play 110% and is on the verge of becoming a star. He will make mistakes from time to time, but the former 7th Round pick has shown far too much heart and ability to see his role reduced. One fumble doesn\u2019t define Cartwright, nor did it cost the Skins the game. Give Rock the Rock and lets Rock and Roll!<\/p>\n
4. Got a Hanky? <\/b>
\nUntil last Sunday, the Redskins were on pace to be the most penalized team in NFL history. But on Sunday, against the Panthers, the Redskins did something amazing \u2013 zero penalties for zero yards\u2026 0-0. No false starts, no stupid personal fouls, no jumps offside, no pass interference, no illegal formations, not even a delay-of-game penalty. The result of all that discipline allowed the Skins to actually remain in contention for a victory. Even though the Skins came out on the short end\u2026 we had a chance. <\/p>\n
5. Norv is Next<\/b>
\nThe week after the Skins faced their former rushing leader, the former leader of the Redskins awaits in Miami. Norv Turner is the offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins. Turner hasn\u2019t set the NFL on fire with his talent for the Dolphins. In fact, they were able to squeak out a 9-6 Overtime victory last week\u2026 at home. While the Ravens defense is one of the best in the NFL, the score was tied at 6 at the end of regulation. Look for the Dolphins to vary the snap count on every play. Also, be on the look out for any explosive offense from the Dolphins. The Dolphins have been looking for the same all season.<\/p>\n
6. NFC East-err<\/b>
\nOK, the Cowboys and Eagles are tied at 7-3, the Skins and Giants are tied at 4-5. A week in the NFL can make all the difference in the division title. The Cowboys have a much tougher schedule ahead of them to finish than they did to start. The Eagles are spastic at best\u2026 the Skins still have a shot to get in the hunt. Why not us?<\/p>\n
