MARK MY WORDS: Pats Paste Pathetic Skins

Is Brady saying "Hey Kirk, one day you'll get a chance to land on a REAL NFL team..."

By Mark Bacon

• November is the month when the Washington Redskins drop well thrown passes, fumble lots, let opposing receivers run freely in open spaces. It’s when they get penalized for really stupid stuff, like 12 men on the field (and that makes no difference; they could have 24, and still get whacked.). They lose all focus and purpose. It’s when they proffer interceptions to the opponent frequently, and watch bored once rabid fans leave early in search of something more interesting. Like washing your car? A nap? Standing still? Sometimes, like on Sunday, they do all these wonderful things at once.

• Sunday, the Skins lost to the defending World Champion Patriots, 27-10. A loss so bland that one player said it felt like Washington was the scout team to New England’s starters.

• November is when the Redskins turn promise into rubbish, when hope gives way to one-liners. When things fall apart. It's an annual rite.

• Last year, the Redskins entered November 3-5. They lost all four games in that month, and finished 4-12. Two years ago, they were also 3-5 in early November; they never won again.

BACON'S BITS: I blame "owner" Dan Snyder, totally, for turning a once proud franchise into a punch line. A laughing stock. I hate to use the term again, but a dumpster fire. Out of control. A rich boy’s fantasy league team with real people. Oh, how he’s screwed things up. Until he's gone, the Skins are like the film Groundhog Day. Ugh. That’s all I have. I am disgusted. And happy the NBA and NCAA basketball is starting. No more wasted Sundays with the sorry ass bunch from Ashbury, VA.

Did I mention the team was once a perennial power under the late, great Jack Kent Cooke? I miss you Mr. Cooke. You had class and knew how to be a successful NFL team owner.
