Where was the D today?

[sportscurmudgeon]

There is no question that the offense was awful yesterday - even AFTER Patrick Ramsey entered the game.

However, the defense gave the Bengals 17 points and 226 yards in the first half of the game. I don't care how inept the Skins' offense was yesterday; that cannot be called a stalwart defensive performance.

Why did Ramsey enter the game with a deficit on the scoreboard? It's because the defense allowed Carson "Bleeping" Palmer to march down the file on them and score touchdowns.

I doubt that Mark Brunell was put onto the defensive unit in disguise so you can't blame him for that. The defense dug the hole and the team couldn't get out of it.

But I thought we got away from our running game. Did we lose any OL starters or anything?

Was Clinton not feeling well?

Brunell didn't have to be the starter, did he? Or is HOF Coach Gibbs still in love with him for saving his life the night they first met?

Do we still pay Brunell if he suddenly retires at the end of the season?

Did anyone see LDS (lildannysnyder) during the game?

Did we leave the home field advantage at RFK or in Reston?

Can we change our colors to "Buckskins" with the Feather up the back of the helmet now please?

Can we adopt a horse and call him "Warpaint"? Or "Spearfeather"? and have him ride around the field?

Will the egirls lay an egg next week?

Will the cowroids lay a big one in the "toilet bowl" tonight?

That was the worst I've seen our defense play this year, but the Bengals deserve some credit. They seemed to handle us very well on the line and Palmer was very sharp. They really had us offguard with the playcalling as well. I was disappointed in our tackling, especially Taylor. Also, I can't understand how they could let Chad Johnson get so open over and over again.

I give our D credit though, they did a great job in the 2nd half and gave us a chance to win the game (as usual). These guys have been a pleasure to watch all season. Kudos to Williams and I'm ecstatic that he plans to hang around for a while. I would have no problem with him succeeding Gibbs in a few years.

PS - Anyone seen Arrington?
PPS - RYAN CLARK IS PLAYING POSSESSED!!!!!!!!!!!! :FIREdevil

with half the starters essentially out for the season (maybe more than half), the D is going to play bad sometimes... they had their worst half this week, but even without griffin, they were able to bounce back. I just hope it doesn't happen again...

btw, taylor had some great plays... can't wait till he's consistant...
