PLAYOFFS?!?!?

congratulations redskins. you did it. you managed to yet again run the table and get into the playoffs. job well done considering the circumstances. despite everything, you held your head high and withstood adversity when it swamped this team. you guys had a perfectly good excuse to go ahead and lie down, and everyone would have been fine with that. but look at you now. 9-7 and a playoff berth.

never would have dreamed of it.

but how the hell does a team lose a game 52-7, calls two timeouts in a row, loses six of their key starters, and yet manage to make the playoffs? apparently, every other team in the NFC is really bad or felt sorry for the redskins. i highly doubt the latter could ever be conceivable, but you never know.

don't press the panic button yet.

ok, maybe my little rant on joe gibbs was irrational. granted, the man has won 3 super bowls and should be given the benefit of the doubt, but i was sick of seeing the redskins fall apart in the waning seconds of every game. they could have had a chance to fall apart yet again last night, but todd collins rallied the troops to a 24-13 win. however, i am devastated yet again because jason campbell took a shot to the knee. and with the way he screamed like a little bitch, he might not be wearing the burgundy and gold until 2008. other than that, i guess we'll have to wait see and what happens with these skins. if everything falls in the right place (which it should), we have a chance to be 8-7, staring at a playoff spot when dallas marches into town on the 30th.
