Down in Denver
A spirited comeback attempt by our boys fell short on a deflected 2-point conversion pass from Mark Brunell to David Patten. Ian Gold, covering Robert Royal, was able to get his hand up and knock the passing football down (a rather athletic play, actually, reaching back to knock it down) and the Redskins fell to 3-1 (closer game than expected, huh "experts"?)
Silver lining? Sure. The Skins are still tied for the lead at the top of the NFC East with the Giants. Clinton Portis ran for over 100 yards against a stiff Broncos defense. Santana Moss went for over 100 yards again. All of that wasn't enough, as Tatum Bell got loose on two big runs for touchdowns making the mountain just a bit too tall for the Skins to climb.
I still feel pretty good about our chances in the NFC East as the Eagles got thumped by the Cowgirls in Little D on Sunday. FOX kept showing score updates as Terry Glenn caught two touchdown passes (ask Bill Parcells about Glenn and he'll tell you, "she was on fire"), and the Eagles could do nothing on offense. I didn't see the brief toe-to-toe with Keyshawn Johnson and Drew Bledsoe until NFL Primetime. Evidently Drew said something to Keyshawn after his fumble that was returned for 6 by Philadelphia's defense. Me-shawn took offense and they said some apparently unkind things (I can lip-read a little, especially 4-letter words) and the problem quickly evaporated. Here's the thing... it wasn't really a close game at that point. What's up with the hostility? I really wonder what Drew said to him that set him off.
Next week it's a trip to Arrowhead to face off against the Chiefs who are coming off of their bye week. No matter. We'll be ready.
