NOTE: REX's EYES ARE CLOSED, WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN A LOT. |
Dear Mr. Snyder
THANKS for the early Christmas present. Sweeping the Giants for the first time since
1999 added a little more cheer to the Holiday Season. Not quite as good as
SWEEPING the Cowboys, but still pretty good. Maybe the CURSE OF THE DANNY is starting to wane.
So now our boys – sorry, YOUR boys – are 5-9 with an OUTSIDE
shot of winning seven games with two left against the lowly Vikings and the
dysfunctional Eagles. While we might
have preferred LOSING out to increase the likelihood of replacing Rex “The
Gunslinger With 71.1 Passer Rating” Grossman with a Luck, Barkley or RGIII,
over here at T.A.H. Worldwide Media we do have a small WAGER (we presume, with
a legal gambling establishment…Dawg???) that the Redskins would, as they say in
Vegas, win MORE than SIX games. (Why can’t
they just say SEVEN like everybody else?)

NICKS (BY WAY OF UNC) HAD A BAD CASE OF THE DROPSIES |
Why did we place what now looks to be such a foolish wager
when ALL the experts predicted (accurately) that the Redskins would be hard
pressed to win SIX games? Because, like
Steve “The Old Ball Coach” Spurrier, we were duped by the preseason performance
of the Redskins and we thought that Rex “I Never Met An Interception I Didn’t
Like” Grossman would have a better touchdown to interception ratio than his current 1 to 5. OK, it's really 1 to 1.38, but it SEEMS much worse.
The other reason we wagered the Skins could win seven was we
believed (now confirmed) that the NFC East was WEAK. We were wrong about that. The Giants performance yesterday against the Skins
elevated the entire division up to TERRIBLE.
Evidently, even good quarterbacks suffer from temporary blindness and INSANITY
while normally sure-handed receivers have days where they cant CATCH a cold.

D'OH! |
Oh well, it was a fun game to watch and it does show that
the Shenaniganhans can get a group (no matter how injured or untalented) ready
to play competently while further SHOWCASING Jim Hasslett’s now very solid
defense.
Perhaps we can trade up in the draft to get one of the TOP
quarterback prospects. The Redskins have
eight draft picks in next Aprils lottery – one in every round and two in the
fourth round. Of course, we do need
linemen, receivers, safeties and the like who aren’t SLOW, HURT, OLD or SMOKING
DOPE.
Bring on the Vikings and Christian Ponder! Nobody EVER loses to a Florida State QB!
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Your Loyal Fan
