The habit is locked in. Again our defense faltered in the fourth quarter, giving up a go-ahead touchdown late in the game. Our guys just cannot seem to make a play when they need to late in the game, whether it be on defense, offense, whatever.<br \/>\nMr. Ramsey got to rest, his foot still in a cast. Mr. Hasselbeck played well at Qback. Still had good rhythm, got rid of the ball quickly, and dodged the rush pretty well. Result, no sacks. But his play, like the team&#8217;s overall play, was not quite good enough. <\/p>\n<p>November was definitely a moving month for our Redskins, backwards. Isn&#8217;t it interesting how four teams went in different directions since early September: Redskins, New England, Giants, and the Rams. The Redskins and Giants have only won one or two games since early season success, while New England and the Rams have won a lot. Success is all about winning in the<br \/>\nNFL. <\/p>\n<p>This week the Redskins get to travel to the Giants and will probably have to play in the snow. Two 4 &#8211; 8 teams, duking it out in the Meadowlands for pride, pride in themselves. Nobody cares about this game except Giants fans and Redskins fans. About all we have is &#8220;Bragging Rights&#8221; from this game. Let&#8217;s see, when was the last time the Redskins beat the Giants? Shoot, I don&#8217;t have my yearly results file with me, but I venture to guess, it&#8217;s been years. Coach Spurrier has never beaten the Giants. That is incentive enough, right there. Go Skins!!! <\/p>\n<p>Cheers&#8230;MikeyT., Boss Hogette, HoF &#8217;99<\/p>\n<p>* Thank heaven for Jim Thorpe, a man who helped pro football, now the passionate NFL game we love today, get started.<\/p>\n<p>Edit: This blog was archived in May of 2016 from our original articles database.It was originally posted by Mikey T aka Boss Hogette<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Redskins* lost again Sunday to the Saints, another team they could have beaten.
