Well, as I predicted, nothing spectacular on offense (let's face it,
practically no offense) and the defense saves the day again. I was kind
of hoping special teams (Brian Mitchell) would contribute more, but the
Vikings were doing a good coverage job. While we're on that, Brian is
doing an *awesome* coverage job himself. His name gets called off
practically every coverage on returns.

Anyway, I was just thinking how much it must really suck to be the free
agent that got called in to play for Monte Coleman when Monte got knee'd
in the face. Two plays later this guy has to try to tackle Roger Craig on
the outside - he didn't make it, finally caught Craig from behind (that
was the play directly before the touchdown score). I saw him basically
standing there being juked out by a tight end. Never even engaged the
guy, much less shed the block. Oh well, can't really expect him to
perform on his second play as a Redskin.

I certainly hope that we take advantage of the porous nature of next
weeks opponents defense to try to light a fire under the offense. While
I admire the courage and tenacity that Rypien showed today (throwing when
he was already hurt and knew he would get trounced) enough of that is
going to seriously derail him.

Notice we didn't cover the spread. Betters must hate the Redskins this
year. Good thing I never wage money. :-).
