OK. I’m a big boy, I can admit that I might have spoken too soon about Broken-down Brunell. He looked lame all night, with no zip on his passes what-so-ever. Then in the last four minutes he scores two big strikes to Moss. I don’t know who put the Viagra in his Gatorade, but I’m glad it finally kicked in. Brunell looked like the guy that used to make the Jags competitive, but I can only wonder how long that is going to last. If teams keep beating him up like the Cowboys did last night, Brunell is going to think his natural skin tone is black and blue.
Ramsey may have watched his future in football end last night. If Campbell gets in the game before week six this year, then Ramsey is definitely out as a Redskin. That’s too bad because he deserved better from Gibbs and the organization as a whole. They should have been up front with him before the trade to get Campbell and let him work out a deal to go somewhere else. I have a feeling that there is more than one team out there that would have taken him in and given him a chance to be the starter for them. Gibbs killed the guy with faint praise all summer, and all but told him that he would be jerked early.
All that is water under the bridge now. The outstanding upside of this is that we squeaked out a win over the Devil Spawns in Dallas on a night created to honor three of their heroes. For Redskins fans, that makes last night all the sweeter. It does not mean that the rivalry so many of us grew up on is back. Last night was only one game. A bad game over all for the ‘Skins that is only made tolerable by the final score.
With a win from the New York football Giants and a loss by the Cowboys I pull even at 8 – 8 for the week. Still not the results that you want to take to Vegas, but an improvement over week 1.
More later.
