The 2nd game-killing interception in a row and it hit me--Washington Redskins Quarterback Jason Campbell might just be turning into (gasp) Jim Kelly!!

No, not that Jim Kelly!!!! The Jim Kelly who used to quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. I used to call him the most overrated quarterback in the league. He was big, strong and courageous. He had magnificient throwing arm. And Jim Kelly was the master of the drive-killing interception. People remember the Bills for being 0 and 4 in the Superbowl. Well, Jim Kelly led his team to all four of them and in those games Wikipedia says he threw 2 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Horrendous.

Today as the Redskins moved down the field on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in that final drive that could have won the game, I knew their defense was exhausted. I knew the Redskins were due to get a break, having lost so many heart-breaking games. I figured this was our time!

I also didn't think it was possible that Campbell would make another bad play. Not after last week in Dallas. And certainly not after the funky pick off he tossed just a few minutes before to Ronde Barber.

Yet he did. Campbell, who was having a superb 2ND half, tried to hit Santana Moss in the end zone with just seconds left to play, and the Tampa defense made the pick look easy.

It was....Jim Kelly-esque in its ineptitude. And I was struck by fear. Could Jason Campbell be one of those great talents with a glaring flaw that will never be truly overcome? Maybe.

But, just so ya know--Jim Kelly is in the Hall of Fame.
