And the annual Dallas Cowboys December collapse begins...


Watched the Saints-Skins game. Skins should have won it, Saints pulled it out in OT. After all the breaks, I can only think that the Redskins are suffering from bad karma. Case for:

1. After stuffing the Saints and forcing a punt, the Saints' punter shanks it so badly that it comes down on top of a Skins blocker, recovered by the Saints and the drive continues.
2. The interception/return/fumble/return for TD combo platter of the day for another Saints touchdown. Reviewed for about 5 minutes. Complete stomach punch for the Skins.
3. A missed field goal from 23 yards by the Skins that would have sealed it.
4. The fumble in OT. Maybe I'm not clear on the rules, but no one can challenge in OT, booth review only. So Payton calls the TO to get a review. Fine, no problem there. But look back at the play: balls comes out, Saints' player pick it up, and then ....? Official call on the field was down by contact, but the Saints player that recovered it was never down. How can the review give the ball to the Saints, when that scenario would result in an unfinished play?

It's obvious that the football gods have it in for the Redskins this year. Maybe it's the team name, maybe it's the sign-banning, maybe it's just the accumulation of crap that the owner has pulled over the years. But it's apparent that Snyder needs to sacrifice Vinny Cerrato. Preferably in a slow and painful manner.
