Redskins 20 - Eagles 12 (Part II)
And, by the way, the ESPN broadcast was borderline unwatchable tonight. For the entire 3rd quarter they talked to Charles Barkley and completely ignored the game, and Jaws was on Donovan's nuts the entire game, despite the fact that Donov
an played one of the worst games at QB I've ever seen. I love me some Jaws, but he was making excuses for Donovan on each of his 15 terrible throws. On some of those, Jaws actually praised Donners for "reading the blitz" despite the fact that he overthrew his receiver by five yards. Seriously, had Donovan been even competent tonight, the Redskins would have lost.
Jason Campbell was solid, the offensive line held up after Randy Thomas' injury (a major event in the game that was mentioned exactly once by ESPN) and Gregg Williams' defense conducted themselves well. There is still no pass-rush to speak of, but the linebackers and secondary performed admirably. My love of London Fletcher is nothing new (ask my Efird dorm-mates from Wake), but I have to say: It's awesome to see him in the middle calling plays for the defense.
Winning a road game at Philly in a game where almost every idiot on ESPN thought the Eagles would prevail in a blowout is fantastic. (I was very, very worried about the game until Mark Schlereth said the Eagles would win comfortably. At that point, I knew the 'Skins had a chance.) Two and oh. Hail to the Redskins. Hell yes. OK, I'm going to bed.

"Jaws was on Donovan's nuts the entire game, despite the fact that Donovan played one of the worst games at QB I've ever seen. I love me some Jaws, but he was making excuses for Donovan on each of his 15 terrible throws."
I agree 100%. Donovan F. McNabb must have some huge huevos, because plenty of folks other than Jaws ride them. Maybe Rush Limbaugh was right?
Here is to hoping you rant about McNabb's recent comments on Real Sports. He is an idiot.
