As far as overreacting, beemnseven, you are doing that. Every dog has his day, and Simms just happen to have his against the Redskins. That'll happen. However, you stretch to say a true fan overreacts to a loss. A loss is what is is...a loss. You learn from the mistakes and move on. The entire team made mistakes yesterday and the ultimate price paid is the loss. I won't overreact because the Skins showed me the heart yesterday. To comeback from 14-3, and 21-10, and be in it til the very end...this scenerio doesn't play out the last few years. This team will be pumped up and ready to go against the Raiders this weekend, and this loss just fires them up even more.
However, Simms by no means played like a hall of famer. 51% completion, 279 yards, 3 TDs isn't HOF Caliber. The last 3 weeks, he's thrown for 264, 259 and 279. It's simply playing to potential.
