Skins Of Their Teeth

6:21 pm EST October 19th, 2008 | Sports | 10 Comments

The Redskins dominate the Browns all game, but neglect to score and then keep them in the game late. This is the kind of game that has fans like me reaching for the Pepto. But still a win.

5-2, Zornado!

ALSO: Dallas now officially in death spiral. Who started it? Oh yeah.

    Games like this will turn your hair gray, but a win is a win.

    Playoff teams win the close ones.

    There are no bad wins in the
    National
    Football
    League.

    But some wins are better than others. Needless to virtually say, this was not one of the better ones.

    Uh, the Redskins dominated squat – you won because Derek Anderson has proven to be a one-year wonder and couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.

    But you won and deserved it.

    Edgewater Joe is right. A win is a win, but what was potentially a trap game for the Redskins was made easy by the total incompetence of Anderson, Edwards and Crennel. Browns v. 2.3 is a bust.

    Clinton Portis gained more yards than the entire Browns offense through the 3rd quarter. That’s pretty dominant in my book. The Skins didn’t punch it in, but it was almost a charity case the way they kept the Browns in the game.

    I didn’t realize until this game how much Romeo Crennel was a fellow member of the big men’s club with myself. Not exactly flattering in high-def.

    I thought at the time and still think that the Skins should have gone for it at the end of their first drive, when they had 4th and 4 at the [Browns'] 35.

    ‘Skins need to blow Detroit away. I want to see a lot of Colt Brennan handoffs in the second half (while Portis sips a drink with an umbrella in it on the sidelines).

    In the words of an old philosopher, Darrell Green, “There ain’t no such thing as an ugly win”.
