37 to 7, Dallas

I'll never forget the time my kids treated us (their mom & dad) to a trip to Dallas for our anniversary to see a Redskins/Cowboy game. This was when Robiskey (sp?) was the interim coach. We got killed then and we'll probably get killed this Sunday although it sure would be wonderful to get an ...

The same mistakes occur every week - poor clock management, stupid penalties, and unimaginative play-calling. Unfortunately these mistakes have to be laid at the foot of Coach Gibbs.

Positive? I'm positive we'll lose next Sunday.

I pick the Cowboys. They are a far, far, far better team.

Frankly with all their injuries, their inability to score touchdowns, untimely penalties and the like, I think their season is over.

I like your plan and sign on now!

Our offensive line has lost two quality players; our top receivers are hurt. Under the circumstances, I think JC is doing well.

It seems to me we are a very average team. We seem to win by the skin of our teeth and lose when we have command of the game and shouldn't (New England being the exception). We're certainly not clicking on all cylinders. I frankly don't know what to expect week to week.

He owes me more high blood pressure medication.

I'm beginning to believe the coaches don't trust Campbell to get the job done and that's why it's run, run, run and run with Clinton Portis. Yet earlier in the year, it seemed to me Campbell was throwing down field and making some good plays. Whatever the situation, Campbell has to be effective for ...

That game was not boring. It was frustrating as all get out, and at the end, I had a spliting headache. Why do the Redskins manage to make almost all of their games nail-biters?

I'd like to introduce you to someone. His name is Endzone and he'd love to have you come on over as soon as possible. You'll find him a very receptive host. Don't wait too long though - others may find their way to him and take up all his time.

Sincerely,
Fan

The play calling has been pretty awful. I don't know who's in charge of it, but if it's Gibbs, yes, I think it's time. It's painful to say because I have nothing but respect for the man but maybe the game has passed him by. Not only the play-calling but the clock-management has been abyssmal as well.

We have one convincing win and one blow-out. All of the other games were nail-biters. We don't have an offense that can go down the field and score on a regular basis. Most times, it's 3 and out. This team doesn't look very good and several of the next games are on the road. I don't look for us to ...

I don't know how anyone could have thought the Skins would be victorious against the Patriots. We have too many weaknesses on offense and the Patriots appear unstoppable.

It's pretty common to use "we" as long-time rabid fans of the Redskins.

We only need an offensive line, a running game, receivers who can hold onto the ball and a new field goal kicker. Then we'll surely be competitive. Oh....and better clock management.

Only 16? I'd have thought it would be more like 31.

The biggest test is not getting blown out by the Patriots.

To win against the New England Patriots, a team must have a competent offense. At the moment, our offense is almost non-existent due to injuries all along the offensive line. Our defense is quite another matter. They're excellent and I suppose it's possible they could win it for us but not very ...

It's in my blood.

It actually hurts me to say something negative about Joe Gibbs. He's such a class act and a hero in DC as far as I'm concerned. But I do agree - there are a lot of mistakes with clock management and an awful lot of stupid penalties - false starts, for example - that weren't part of Gibbs' first ...

Campbell's not the problem. ey didn't have any difficulty making catches. The dropped passes were inexcusable and Moss' fumble was disgusting. Another win down the drain.

Thanks for the nice welcome. I appreciate it!
