DSPetry,

I wrote a really long response (for me) the other night about the situation with Norv but SI was doing the internal server error thing so I was never able to post it.

The skins will be in Total Disarray if they loose to the Cowboys AGAIN!!!

I can't imagine that the disarray can be any worse than last monday after losing to the Giants.

The Redskins were retooled this past summer with the primary goal of beating the Rams. DOUGHT!!!! The Rams aren't very good!

Now we have a team that can beat the Rams but can't win a division game. I was at the Giants game and the Philly game. Whatever happens this week happens. The Redskins have a lot of good players but they haven't played like a good TEAM.

I've been to two Raven's games this year, that's a TEAM. Win or lose they give it everything they've got.

Ever wonder why I'm leading this contest (ok, I'm tied with someone) it's because with one exception I never pick the Skin's game. You had more faith in the Skins then I did. LOL.

Regards

Tom

SKINS will DOMINATE the 'girls this week! Look for a shut-out or a HUGE victory margin for the SKINS! Terry Robiskie is EXACTLY what this team needs to win the remaining 3 games and make the playoffs!

Norv was making me sick last week! There was no offensive coaching going on on the sidelines at all! The Philly and NY losses were inexcusable! Some of the play calling was questionable in both games, but the Philly game stood out like a sore thumb! The players were screaming for Jeff George to come in for Brad in the 3rd quarter but Norv ignored them until the middle of the 4th! Our kicker was known to have a limit of 42 yards, 44 yards at the outside. Why does Norv have him attempt a 49 yard make or break kick with 2 minutes left in the 4th?! There is actually some talk in knowledgeable circles about the possibility that Norv intentionally committed occupational suicide!

Personally I liked the guy, but he just wasn't getting the job done! Year after year there was some excuse that sounded reasonable about why his team wasn't performing up to par. I've gradually come to realize that in spite of his offensive genius, he was severely lacking in the inspirational leadership category! The guys didn't fear him, they didn't revere him, and they began not to believe in him! Dan Snyder is a fan, Dan Snyder is the MAN..."JUST WIN BABY" is being taken to new heights!!! Thanks Dan!!!

I'm pretty pissed off about my SKINS current predicament, however, I hope you all don't lose your shirt betting against them from here on out! Like Howie Long said, "This team is DANGEROUS"!!!
