Kickoff returned to the 32 yard line...

Half time...

Washington 3 Detroit 3....

[CarMike]

We're getting the short end of a lot of call here guys. I hate to blame the refs. But its so apparent.

Brunell is something like 5-15 for 50 yards. Our WRs have dropped a lot of balls. But on some they were thrown behind our WRs.

if it wasn't for me doing the play-by-play here, i'd stopped watching this sorry ass game. I'm not a happy camper right to say the least.

[CarMike]

Final

Washington 17 Detroit 10

[CarMike]

My thoughts on this game....

Thrash should recieve Special Teams player of the week. he was everywhere that we needed him to be.

Griffen played his arse off today.

The offense needs to take out the defense and ST players this week for dinner. if not for our stout defense and stout special teams play, we'd be looking at a 2-6 team.

Brunell still sucks and has absolutely no arm strength. Out WR dropped probably 5+ passes today.

Portis played like a champion today. Detroit consistently had 7 or 8 guys in the box. And he still ran for over 150 yards.

Kudos to coach Gibbs for changing the blocking scheme. We ran the zone offensive blocking scheme this week instead of the Counter Trey. Which is what needed to be done.

Now if we can just get him to give Ramsey a chance....

Good game by the Redskins. Could have been better. Could have been worse.

Be sure to check out hR next week if you cannot watch the game. I'll be back. Same time, same message board.
