The offseason arrives early in Ashburn as the Redskins are eliminated and in full "evaluation" mode (so does this make this the preseason again?)...thoughts, musings and mandatory rantings from the Redskins 33-30 loss to Dallas.
Donovan and Distance-- Mr. McNabb, after being told his services would likely not be needed for the remainder of the season, handled the pregame coin-flip with aplomb.
Rex rally-really?-- okay, so the numbers looked good for Rex Grossman...: 322 yards passing, 4 touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions. But were those fourth quarter scores technically garbage-time touchdowns?
Dissolving Defense-- the Skins allowed 434 total yards... 270 in the first half. The last in the league unit allowed seven straight drives into their red zone at one point; on the other possession the Cowboys kicked a field goal. No matter who plays quarterback they can't stop anybody this fall.
Armstrong Stretches the Field-- wide receiver Anthony Armstrong continues his fine season... notching 5 catches for 100 yards in the loss and providing the Skins with a deep threat-- Santana Moss taking advantage with 8 grabs, 72 yards and two TD's.
Dissecting the Division-- Philadelphia's 38-31 rally past the New York Giants turned the division upside-down... instead of scoreboard watching the last two weeks the Eagles take a one game lead with the sweep tiebreaker into Christmas. The Eagles hold down the #3 spot in the NFC... with the Giants hanging on at #6 and facing a must-win game at Green Bay in week sixteen. The Redskins own third place instead of Dallas because of a slightly better (4-7 to 3-7) conference record.
Feeling a draft-- the Skins are one of six 5-9 teams... so right now they're ranging from 7th through 12th depending on tiebreakers. Whither Andrew Luck?
What's a Haynesworth?-- Sorry, force of habit.
