Victory!

Redskins dominated Detroit. This is exactly how Washington needs to play. Its been a long time since they played like they did today.

Flying Elvises picked up their first win. 2-1. All around great team effort. The quad is done though. Don't know if I'll be able to go much more this season. I'm thinking about taking the next two weeks off to rest it.


Two great wins.

Football today

Big day for the Skins, need to bounce back from an ugly loss to the NY Giants. Probably the only thing worse than seeing your team lose, is having to pay to watch your team lose, after it was winning early in the game. They can make things better today with a win over the Lions.

In my humble opinion the one thing that kills the Redskins more than anything - conservative play calling. They had the Giants on the ropes, and they go ultraconservative. We know they can move the ball. They move it when they need to, like when they were down at the end of the game. Similar visions in both the Eagles and Dolphins games, and in the preceding years. We need to finish a team when they're down - go for the jugular! When the Skins are able to do this we'll see a bunch of W's! Until then, its going to be a lot of close games, and a lot of heartbreaks...

Kudos to Maryland to holding off Georgia Tech... but that was way too close. No need to let them that much back into the game. Still good win. We'll enjoy it for now...

Ok so I'm 1-3 in the SMIBFL, and facing the top team. Peyton is the only one doing anything for me, but some others were able to chip in and get the points to get W#1 last week.

Last but not least, looking for a few good men to strap on the boots and play in our Turkey Bowl Tourney. We'll be wearing red and facing off at Kiwanis Park in Hampstead. Interested, let me know, games are Thanksgiving morning.

Enjoy today's games!

Mike's Tri

Congratulations MIKE CRITCHFIELD! Ok, so this is a week overdue but Mike competed in his first triathlon last Saturday finishing in 2:16. Awesome! I know this is a great accomplishment for him. Here's to many more Mikey!

Here we go again...

Ok, so here's to a commitment to be better at this blog thing. Debi's well again, its a nice sunny day. Skins are playing the Lions this afternoon. Flying Elvises have a game at 3:30, it could be a win-able game, should at least be enjoyable, more so than the last few games. Last week we had a 9-0 thumping courtesy of Hurricanes FC - they've been together for years, and all of their boys are like 6-4, 210, and really good.
