Redskins win, but didn't look good.

I didn't get to really take in the game yesterday as I was knocking out another edition of Monday's paper, but my friend Darren Painter had a few words to say about it and I'd have to agree.

After watching yesterdays game, I'm convinced of one thing. Al Saunders should be drawn and quartered or better yet sent off to Greenland away from anything to do with the NFL. 20 straight drives with only 1 touchdown and that came after being down 52-0 to the Pats. No touchdowns to a wide receiver. I'm not sure if they know how to run a pass route that involves the receivers running into the end zone.

I guess I shouldn't be complaining after being down to the hapless Jets 17-3 yesterday, they stormed back and scored 20 straight points and once again their defense only allowed 13 points since the other 7 were attributed to the special teams. But 5 field goals and 1 touchdown in the red zone! I guess my biggest problem is that when they had the ball and a chance to run out the clock they did their usual run right 3 yards, run left 2 yards and then draw play for 2 yards and punt.

The only thing worse than suffering through watching the anemic offense was listening to "Moose" Johnston talk bad about the Redskins for 4 quarters and comment on all the blown holding calls the officials missed. This guy is so one sided it's ridiculous. He needs to take a few lessons from Troy Aikman who is complimentary of both teams during a game and lets the play dictate his comments, not the fact that he once played for the Cowboys and still can't get over the rivalry, plus he wears horrible shirts and ties.

That is my Sunday story!

What's the state of the offensive line? They must be getting healthier — Portis finished with 196 yards rushing as he wore down the Jets in the fourth quarter.

I wouldn't call the narrow victory a good sign for the Skins, though. They were looking good after a Week 5 thrashing of Detroit, but I'm not sure how much this depleted Skins' team has left in them now.
