Skins Lose! Now What?

I'm not going to brood over the Redskins loss to Seattle Saturday. There is comfort here in knowing Joe Gibbs, Greg Williams, Todd Collins and others were able to right the ship in some very rough seas and make it into the playoffs.

A missed field goal and those two interceptions by Collins didn't go down well with me.

I caught glimpses of the game on a studio camera as Jennifer Ryan and I anchored the early newscast (game was on a rival station).

The team was able to rally from a 13-0 halftime deficit. I became hopeful; but then we allowed 22 consecutive points in the end. Give Seattle some credit; that pass rush was impressive.

So it's on to next season. My guess is they'll resign Todd Collins to a richly deserved new contract; but re-instate Jason Campbell as the starting quarterback for training camp. I'm guessing Joe Gibbs will be back and looking for a possession wide receiver, offensive and defensive line help through the draft and free agency.

My problem now is what to watch on TV from here on out? The rest of the NFL playoffs will get a few peaks.

I like the effort by the Gilbert Arenas less Wizards; but I'm not yet sure that makes Eddy Jordan's bunch "must see TV". The Terps are painful to watch; Georgetown, no longer a surprise squad, has gotta start playing up to it's potential and try getting " mean" like in the old days.

but I'm afraid I may have run out of excuses in my house to not watch American Idol!
