Patriots 27, Redskins 24. But Campbell Plays Well!



Well, I was impressed. Jason Campbell led the Skins on a really nice touchdown drive capped off by a Marcus Mason. He hit Santana Moss on out route that the New England cornerback just missed swatting away. He looked poised and comfortable, like he was a beat faster understanding what was developing in front of him and where he was going to go with the ball.

On the second touchdown drive, on third and goal, he recoganized that all the players were coverd so he ran to his left, out of the pocket, did a pump fake to get the only defender in his way to jump, and then he ran the ball in himself. "Athletic instinct!" I yelled.

Colt Brennan threw a really bad interception returned for a touchdown, but he may have redeemed himself when he found my new favorite receiver, Marko Mitchell, down the left side after Mitchell did a nice stutter step for a touchdown.

The offensive line played pretty well. Like we always like to say, if you have time to throw the ball, you can . . . throw the ball.

Haynesworth and the defense really didn't do all that much against Brady, except for knocking him hard to the ground and hurting his shoulder.

This morning, Joey officially changed her mane to Joanna Rachelle Seiden. Very exciting. And she may have found a name for her fantasy football team: Patty Pan SQUASH!
