Redskins recap

There are 2 teams I root for:

1. The Washington Redskins
2. Anyone playing the Dallas Cowboys

That being said, this has been the most exciting football season in some time. We currently don't have TV service at our house so I probably only watched about half of the games this year. The remaining games I streamed the radio broadcast through my phone. Growing up we used to listen to the radio broadcast as we watched the game which is far superior to the announcers on the network stations. You can't be a Redskins fan and enjoy listening to Aikman commentate on the game.

I think any (and every) Redskins fan was excited going into this season; primarily because of RG3. I know I was. I named my fantasy team "In RG3 we Trust" and bought an RG3 t-shirt before he even played a single down.

The season started off a little shaky but you could tell there was still the excitement throughout the area.  I tweeted when they were 2-2 and 3-3, very exited to be at .500. Three straight loses going into the bye week put a damper on everyone's spirits. Then the party started! Seven wins in a row including: two wins agaist the Eagles (who have the worst fans), a win against Baltimore in the "Battle of the Beltways", beating Dallas on Thanksgiving day and finally another win over Dallas (thanks tony turnover) to win the division, make the playoffs, and finish the season at 10-6 (a far cry from the 2-14 that was predicted by ESPN)

Unfortunately, the post-season for the Redskins ended last night. "At least we have hockey now!" is what everyone is saying. Everyone is second guessing the decisions to keep RG3 in the game last night; STOP! You are only doing this because the outcome of the game. If the Redskins would have won, none of this would be taking place. It is easy to look back and blame a single decision for the outcome but it is not that simple.

A quick shout out to my wife who told me to pick up RG3 in fantasy football in the 10th round of the draft after drafting Matt Stafford in an earlier round. This made the season even more exciting because with each successful play, my fantasy football team exceeded as well.

I hope that the off season will be a chance for the Redskins to heal, continue to build, and develop as a team. I can't wait until August! HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!
