T.O. 28 Redskins 23
Jason Campbell looked great and the Redskins offense finally moved the ball. There were no clock management errors and the play calling was right on point. People were upset, that the Skins abandoned the run. I thought they had to because the front four of Dallas, was starting to wear down Portis. Offense was solid... but the defense was a different story.
Even the casual fan knew that the Redskins had to stop Terrell Owens and their defensive game plan was ridiculous. Not only did they not stop T.O. but he scored all the touchdowns.
REALLY!!! Was that the game plan? Let T.O. run free, like a naked child in the park and just cover everybody else. Maybe they were hoping the ghost of Sean Taylor, was going to show up and guard him. Whatever the case, they Skins did not put a body on T.O.. Every touchdown he scored, I screamed and folks I did a ton of screaming.
Also, another pet peeve. Why is London Fletcher covering... everybody? I know he can go sideline to sideline but I didn't know his job was end zone to end zone. Why is he involved in the secondary coverage? What is that? Is his job to stop the run and the pass, on the same play? Fletcher is awesome and Gregg Williams has given him a lot of responsibilities but sometimes I think, he's doing too much. The Skins better dee up because Joey Galloway and Tampa are no joke.

THOUGHTS:
ON GILBERT ARENAS and THE WIZARDS: I feel like Dee from the television show "What's Happening". I want to say "OOHHHH YOU IN TROUBLE". Arenas out for another 3 months because of his knee. That blow may have just put the Wizards season in jeopardy. Washington has played well without agent zero but to play a full year could be a problem. I blame this on Arenas. Eddie Jordan wanted Gilbert to take it easy and come back slow. Arenas, decided to push himself. All that pushing his him back on the shelf again. I love Gilbert's attitude and competitive nature but this time he hurt the team.
