Football equals life to some people. Football is full of many cliches. In reality though, those phrases are dual use. They apply to a football situation as well as real life. For the past few weeks I've been on a "never give up" campaign. I've been using football as my coping mechanism. I can remember all the times in football that my body wanted to give up but my mind wouldn't let it. I've been applying the same thoughts that allowed me to get through those moments to my current situation. I read this great article about how Joe Gibbs led his team back from nowhere into the playoffs. The article is about how they hit rock bottom this season and how Joe Gibbs forced the recovery. My "A setback is a setup for a comeback" theory was validated. LINK!
Football is a way of life and not just a game.
Redskins gave it all they had. For a short time in the 3rd quarter, I got to see Sean Taylor again. He channeled his spirit through the young and mighty Laron Landry to give the Skins a chance to win. Those two plays reminded me of Sean. In the end, Seattle's playoff level defense combined with the crowd noise was too much for the depleted yet spirited Redskins.
Jacksonville beat Pittsburgh as we had all discussed. No further comments are necessary. Read the blog if you need more information.
We all wanted Tampa Bay to win. New York was a better team that played better. Too much more physically and just as fast. They didn't disrupt Eli enough to beat NY.
Norv Turner ball at it finest. He did what Marty could not ever do. He was worth the hire even if he loses from here on out. He took them further than they have been since 1994. Leave Norv alone. Tennessee needs another receiver, a healthy Young, Pacman and they will be cool. They can be great next year.
