My weekly review of the game after watching the tape:
Let’s be clear. This was not a game that the Redskins should have won. It was one that they could have won. They could have won because they forced and recovered three fumbles, had a fourth laying on the ground for the taking, and had good shots at three or four interceptions. They could have won because Ryan Torain had his best game as a starter, a gritty 100-yard effort that saw him break a tackle or two on nearly every carry. They could have won because Donovan McNabb, whose game also could be described as gritty, pulled off just enough plays at just the right times to keep the game competitive. And they could have won because their effort may have been good enough to win except when facing Peyton Manning, the best in the business right now and one of the best half dozen or so every to play the quarterback position. But a team that “should” have won does not have its quarterback throw a head-scratching interception during the midst of a nice opening drive, and have its defense immediately give up a long touchdown pass after thatHit the link below to read the rest:
