Giants 18-6, top of the 4th quarter.

Washington running: 18 carries for 57 yards with a long of 10.

Washington passing: 132 yards on 19 attempts, 2 INTs, qb rating 39.7.

I guess there’s a Rams hangover even when the Rams play bad.

Where was THAT Washington team when the Rams played them?

The NFL is one big crapshoot from week to week. I’m in a betting pool at work and some woman won it last week and she doesn’t even follow football. I asked her her system and she said, “Oh, I just look at the names and pick who I like.”

Maybe I should try that because I’ve been picking teams who LOSE. That hasn’t worked out so well.

Last year there was the little stunt with the coin flip, then they shut them out at home while—according to Washington players—doing things like running reverses while up 21-0. Frankly that last bit (“running up the score” sorta thing) doesn’t mean anything to me but it’s clear the coaches used it to motivate the team.

IMO it was a perfect storm. The Rams go on the road against a revenge-minded, motivated team after playing Seattle tough, suffering Seattle hangover, and of course pulling the Rams “slump after a win” act and could not get the offense going against a team that knew all about Foles.

And it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Now maybe they will put their own press clippings away and realize how demanding their schedule is, and how far behind they are getting a young OL and sputtering offense in gear.

Washington IMO had the same effect dogging them. On the road after an emotionally high game, they let down too, in turn.

So far, win or lose, both teams that played the Rams have lost the following game.

If that happens all 16 games, could mean a superbowl.

Thursday night road teams rarely win. Personally I think Thursday night games should be after a bye.

Thursday on the road, against a Giants team that owned Washington last year. The ‘Skins should have had more reason to be up for this game, but so did the Giants, who HAD to win this game.

I didn’t see the Redskins game. I had a big work commitment over the weekend and completely forgot to record it. So, I can’t say much about how the Rams played. Judging by what I heard after the game, I’m glad I didn’t record it.

If you still have any recording from 14′ 13′ or 12′ they would be close. It was that team that showed up.
