Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...again.

REDSKINS 25 - EAGLES 33

What in God's name is wrong with the Redskins? Another fairly dominant performance, another lead going into the 4th quarter...another loss. What the Hell? Portis had another great game, Jason Campbell probably had the best game of his career, and the defense, despite being to blame for most of the dumb ass penalties that kept the Iggles in the game, played pretty well. The Skins needed this game and needed it badly, yet they couldn't put it away despite being handed six straight opportunities from inside the Eagles ten yard line to ice the game. Stupid, STUPID penalties, poor execution, bad clock management, a couple of costly turnovers, and a 4th quarter defensive meltdown are what you get instead. ARRRGH!!!!

The Eagles are far from the team that used to dominate the division. They're not even a fraction of that team. The Skins should have taken this one, if not easily, then convincingly (no one who watched the Jets game could say any game involving the Skins would be easy). If we can't beat the battered, limping Eagles at home, what possible chance do we have next week on the road against a Dallas team that's at the top of their game? {insert choice of scathing expletives here}

Joe Gibbs, in his post-game interview, explained that he can't understand why these meltdowns occur. Well let me tell YOU Mr. Gibbs, you better figure it out and fast!!!
