Redskins show some resilience.

REDSKINS 23 - JETS 20

After getting completely stomped by the Patriots last week, the Redskins came out and beat (barely) what was supposed to be a bad Jets team in overtime Sunday.

Given the fact that I was going to watch the Pats - Colts game earlier today, I checked out the scores this morning before work and happened upon the Skins game late in the fourth quarter when they up 20-17. I didn't actually watch the last partof the game but follwed the Stat Tracker as the Jets moved down the field and tied it up. I figured at the time, the Skins had blown another lead, and was happy, once I got out of the shower to see they had pulled out the win. What I didn't know, was that the Skins had trailed most of the game.

I just finished watching the whole game - and it was actually an entertaining game - and was surprised by the fact that the Jets led at halftime 17 - 3. I thought the Jets were supposed to suck!!! Anyway, the Skins finally got on the same page and did what they are supposed to do best: run the ball. The second half was good, solid, Redskins smashmouth football. Portis finally had a good game putting up 196 yards rushing, and maybe, just maybe, the battered O-line is starting to gel a bit. The passing game needs work still, and if the the Skins are going to win anymore games, they're going to have to get that part of their game in line. Five field goals ain't gonna cut it against the Eagles and the Cowboys. We need to start putting up serious points.

The Redskins face a brutal schedule in the next few weeks starting with Philly at home, and then Dallas, Tampa Bay, Buffalo, Chicago, and the Giants. Whooo boy! It's gonna be interesting!

GO REDSKINS!!!
