The wheels are starting to come off for the Washington Redskins. The same problems that didn't seem like a big deal when they were 6-2, now are becoming too much for the team to handle. An inability to protect the QB and inability to rush the QB are the biggest reasons the Redskins will be fighting for their playoff lives the rest of the season. The Redskins had every chance to win that game last night but couldn't manufacture enough on offense and couldn't throw the ball down the field. Tony Romo never had to worry about his injured pinkie getting hurt worse as he wasn't sacked once. If the season ended today the Redskins would still make the playoffs but what 6 weeks ago seemed like a sure thing, is now looking like it will come down to the last weekend. Typical Redskins.
Attended Notre Dame/Navy in Baltimore on Saturday. Everything was going swimmingly, Notre Dame was up 27-7 and after being drenched from a monsoon I decided it was time to leave. I ended up missing Navy recovering two onside kicks and nearly winning in impossible fashion. The Irish held on to win 27-21 and became bowl eligible. A win over Syracuse and a loss to USC seem likely so the Irish should be 7-5 heading into their bowl game. I would really like to see them win a bowl and end their 15 year bowl losing streak. As stated before anything less than a BCS berth next year should spell the end of the Charlie Weis era. Nebraska went to Kansas State and did what they should to a team in turmoil, they stomped them 56-28. If Nebraska can beat Colorado in two weeks they will finish 8-4 and might have a chance at a New Year's Day bowl. That would be a great first season for coach Bo Pelini.
The Lakers suffered their first loss of the season Friday as they were routed at home by the Detroit Pistons. The Wizards continue to stink, and the Bulls continue to hover around .500.
