Re: D.C. Sports Bog: Media Responses to the Skins Loss
I hate Sally Jenkins. Apart from the fact that she goes out of her way to piss on the Skins, her overuse of cliche's used inappropriately is extremely grating.
I would contend that the Redskins identity is a strong defense that forces a team to play patiently, doesn't give up big plays and takes advantage of the other teams mistakes (which is what we saw Thursday except we dropped the ints that would have changed the game). Or was she expecting Zorn to take the field himself and wing it to Steve Largent while the Giants sit down and watch in awe at the miracle worker?
As for Mosley, stating that the 16-7 could have just as easily been 31-7, this is true except that it could have just as easily been 14-9 Redskins (Landry holds on to his pick which would have gone to the house, the questionable PI call isn't called, Jacobs is called for his obvious flagrant foul, and just for fun Carlos holds on to the ball Eli throws him in the endzone). We keep score for a reason. Don't tell us what could just as easily have been.
