Okay, so it took like a month, but we have won another game. With a 13-10 victory of the Chicago Bears, the Washington Redskins improved their record to 2-4.
What's good about this victory? We beat a pretty bad team in a pretty lackluster fashion. We did dominate the first half, but per our modus operandi, a lackluster second half offensive and defensive effort left the game undecided until Chicago's final drive.
Clinton Portis had a beautiful first half with 103 yards off 21 carries. I can only imagine the noise that Redskins would be making if Mark Brunell was tutoring Patrick Ramsey instead of being a role model....put Brunell On The Bench. His prime playing days are long gone. Patrick Ramsey is our future as far as the Redskins faithful can tell right now. Unless our intent is to pickup a big time qb in the next year or two, and Brunell is no longer a big time qb despite his contract, then we need to put Ramsey in the games. Last year, Ramsey picked invaluable experience with Spurrier. We now know that he can take a helluva ass whippin and keep playing. So why not put him in the game with some protection, let him learn the new offensive scheme, give the experience to match his talents?
But we did win and we have a bye next week so maybe Lavar can get healthy and we can make something off this season of hope that has turned so negatively.
