I Should Have Stayed in Witness Protection

This picture was taken on Sunday. You can tell by the smiles that this picture was taken before the Skins embarrassing meltdown and loss to Carolina. This picture of my partner and I (thats me on the right) was taken at the Legends sports bar outside of Akron, OH.

I have to tell you that its hard enough to watch the Skins lose, even harder to watch them squander a 15 point lead in route to a loss to the win-less Panthers, but nothing compares to the shame, disgust and public humiliation that is involved in watching them lose in a sports bar in northeastern Ohio while the once-hapless Bengals beat the Ravens, the Steelers beat the Lions, and even the disastrous Browns pulled out a W over the Bills.

By the end of the 1 PM games, the bar was filled with smiles and high fives as Bengals fans, Steelers fans and even Browns fans celebrated victories. Surrounded by this sea of excitement, our little enclave of Redskins fans was an island of disappointment.

The game was nothing short of pitiful. The play-calling was once again horrific. The 4th and 3 call totally lacked sense. The decision to run Portis around the end that resulted in a safety was moronic.

I don't want to see anymore Clinton Portis. He is done. Completely and totally done. Watching paint dry is more exciting that watching Portis run.

The INT not withstanding, DeAngelo Hall is a bum. His inability to tackle Carolina's totally immobile QB to end the game is beyond explanation.

The offensive line is a nightmare. An inexcusable nightmare. Vinny Cerrato and the rest of the folks responsible to putting together this pathetic o-line should be taken out and publicly beaten.

I don't know what else to say. The season is lost. The only things left that will bring me any joy are the inevitable firing of dipshit Jim Zorn and the much-deserved firing of Vinny Cerrato (if Dan Snyder is finally shamed into 86ing his hand-maiden).

That's it. What happens on the field really doesn't matter any more this year. Let's just blow it up. Blow the whole thing up. Trade away as many veterans as we can. Portis, Campbell, Moss, Randle El, almost anyone on the defense. It's time to start fresh. Load up on draft picks, and rebuild this team, this franchise and this fan base.
