Cooley said the Lions quit

Chris is right. The Lions stopped playing...in 1958.

Hey , we weren't out there, and Cooley was! Maybe they did slow down a little at the end. All I know is that punt return by Thrash where he fumbled and Rock recovered was huge. If Detroit recovers, maybe they get some life, but they don't so the next play to Sellers for a TD, put it away at 24-3 with about 10 minutes to go.

Cooley is funny, I love the guy, it will be a long time before the Skins play the Lions again. At this point if the season ended today, the NFC playoff teams would be Cowboys, Packers, Cardinals, Bucs, and the Wildcards would be Skins either Panters or Seahawks. Its along season, but we probably won't see the Lions again, and if we do it will be at home!

When you have the ball 22 minutes in the first half... When its 100 degrees on the field... When you are a physical, smashmouth team and your opponent relies on finesse... Then it's simply a matter of time before the other team says, "To hell with this. Let's go home." Anyone watching the game could see that's what happened. Cooley's not saying anything there that wasn't obvious to all.

Exactly, traditional redskins football. When they play redskins football, it's hard to beat. Something tells me this will happen for the rest of the season.
