13

That may have been the worst day of Thanksgiving football ever. Thank God you aren’t a Lions fan and if you are God bless you, the Cards couldn’t show up for Skins fans and the Dallas game was a joke. That is the point; why wasn’t our Seattle game a stomping as well? The lines are the whole thing. The absolutely essential part of any football team, especially approaching December and hopefully January into February, are the O and D lines. Ours are atrocious. The O-line is older than Moses and Carter and J. Taylor are skilled pass rushers but can’t stop the run. We have a ton of talent elsewhere, but we haven’t put the biggest pieces in place (no pun intended) and it looks like it is going to come back and bite us in the butt.

Same goes for the Caps. We are atrocious for a few years and manage to pick up Semin, OV, Green and the rest of the cast. Unfortunately we have no goaltending. Johnson is fair but won’t win it down the stretch. Theodore is worse and lets not even talk about him. The Caps and the Skins are teams that assembled a lot of talent but somehow forgot about the most important parts.

As a side note, a year and a day after Sean Taylor’s passing let’s remember him again. Joking about this guy’s death is off limits. He was a guy who had turned his life around from the “U” lifestyle and was taking care of his daughter and the girl he wanted to marry. Joking about his passing to a Skins fan is akin to saying something about a guy’s mother. His passing gives Skins fan one thing. Everyone with a home field has 12 guys. We will always have 13. Can’t wait to see Taylor on the wall of fame at Fedex and hopefully we can win it for him against the Giants.
