Well, what can I say? The first quarter we crapped the bed. In a BIG way. Cooley fumbles on a pass, and gives Cincy everything it needs to start playing football this year. I love Chris Cooley like a brother, but hey, his mistake gave Cincy something to build on.
The blame for the rest of the 1st quarter is placed on the defense and, honestly, our offensive line. Campbell may not be the next coming of Sonny Jurgenson, but hell, he's the best we've had since Joe Theisman. Give the man a few seconds to throw the ball wouldja?
Our offensive line has struggled since the time we went 6-2 this year. They've been giving up protection as if their jobs are to stand and watch the game up close. What the hell?
The second quarter, into the middle of the third quarter looked like REDSKINS FOOTBALL to me. We were connecting on passes, C.P. was finding hard yardage everywhere we turned, then the officials give the friggin' Bengals the ball on a bogus-assed call at the goal line.
I do own a High-Def t.v. and DVR, and guess what? Sellars got across the goal line before that ball was stripped with his second effort. I know that doesn't matter for hell right now, we lost, but the officiating sucked.
At any rate, I'm still lovin' the Skins, and always will. I just with the o-line would take the games more serious from the first snap. A lot of good things happened today too. Sellars, Portis, Moss, Campbell, Cooley, Fletcher, etc...they all had moments. And at this point, I'm hoping to end the year with a winning season. I really don't want to make it to the playoffs if it means a first round defeat. That's worse in my mind than not making the post season at all.
Continue fighting 'Skins, you have the right coach and most of the right players! Hail To The Redskins!!!!!!
