SNOW IN NEW ORLEANS
When Robbie Gould kicked that FG against The Seahawks and our road to Chicago was clear, that was the beginning of the uphill battle. In my opinion Coach Payton should have put his order in for two snow making machines and blown a constant inch of snow on the outdoor practice field and ran in the snow and mud all week. The weather in Chicago was definately predictable and so were the field conditions. Either Buck or Aikman had stated that Dome Teams playing in snow belt stadiums were 0-9. A couple game notes including The Bears picked up only one penalty the entire game, they almost pitched a shutout with the Ref's. Also when Deuce hobbled off the field and was bent over in pain I started to really worry. Although it looked as if the momentum had swung our way early in the second half but the turnovers were flying over us like an albatross. After the snow started picking up really made it hard to comeback.
I will say that we have a lot to look forward to next season, no major rebuilding. We have the right coaching staff a great QB two of the best RB's in the League not to mention outstanding recievers and a very solid team on O and D and S-T'S We definately have a few weak positions but not another large shopping list. It was a rare treat for my eyes to see folks wearing The Black & Gold here in The Washington area. Folowing the team all these years is like a line from The Eagles song Hotel California " you can check out any time you want but you can never leave" One last thing I'm not sure of what I am seeing with the word "boys" referring to the team. I thought that team in Dallas was using that nickname. RB |
