Move over, General Zod-- the Redskins are taking residence in the Phantom Zone with you, Ursa and Non. Early December is a time for playoff possibilities-and although the Skins are technically one of 28 teams in contention, they are on the precipice of postseason elimination: a loss or wins by Philadelphia and Green Bay effectively ends the season. Until then, the dreamers hope...
Break out the Brooms-- the Skins 27-24 loss...a second straight aggravating loss at a division opponent further sealed their fate. Just think...two wins puts them at 5-6 and one game out of the wildcard with a 2-2 division mark. Instead...two weeks in the Phantom Zone.
Turnovers telling the tale-- two interceptions led to a pair of Eagles field goals in the second quarter...and proved to be the eventual difference between victory and defeat.
Campbell's comeback-- despite the interceptions, Jason Campbell played well again-- passing for 231 yards and two touchdowns...plus a touchdown run. With five games remaining-- #17 is playing for his future in Washington or elsewhere.
No return policy-- once again the punt return situation is aggravating to some and a mystery to others. Antwan Randle-El's one return for one yard is not going to help a team that needs every little thing to win. But they continue to send him back there. Again and again.
What's a Haynesworth? Injuries kept the 100 million dollar man on the bench- and his presence was missed... especially against the run (123 yards by the Eagles).
Tracking the Triumvirate-- the firm of Kelly, Thomas & Davis combined for 10 catches and 139 yards... bringing their total to 82 receptions and 937 yards for the season.
