I'm happy to say the Sunday victory over Detroit was the best game the Redskins have played in two years. Finally, everything gelled. Randle El was great as the number one receiver. Need to put him in the role more often. The defense simplified and got to Kitna often without blitzing. The offense also simplified. Finally, the coaches are getting that this is a power team, which also has very good wide receivers and they don't need 400 page playbooks. The real test comes this week with Green Bay when the Redskins will need to bring their A game again.
My other team, the Steelers rebounded from last weeks loss nicely. Ben hooked up with the tight end Heath Miller, his favorite target again. With a lot of thier best defensive players sidelined, Ben stepped it up a notch so the defense could rest more. It was a great performance.
The baseball team I'm rooting for in the playoffs, the Arizona Diamondbacks made it look easy in sweeping their series. Bob Melvin, who should be manager of the year, again got the most from his kids and made all the right decisions.
For this fan, it was a great sports weekend.
