Sorry for the delay on this Blog people, but im back. The delay must be from the fact that the Redskins lost on sunday to the Rams. Its crazy how a football game on a sunday can effect your whole outlook on a week. Anyways, needless to say I did wake up a little disturbed on Monday morning. The Redskins rolled into week two on a little bit of a high. I mean you had RGIII's impressive Rookie debut and you beat a team that really no one expected you to keep up with. Needless to say Redskin nation was in full effect going into sunday's game against the Rams.
The Redskins started off continuing to perfect what they finished last week. Basically controlling the first three quarters of the game and then they let the Rams come back. Mind you there were some quuestionable calls by the refs. I do not know what's worse a player lockout or a referree lockout. The calls they should make are no brainers, which they should make and the calls that they make can make no sense. These interim referees have shown that its going to be a long season. anywho, im going to redirect my tirant back to the Redskins. Its obvious that you have the game in the palm of your hands and you let a team like the Rams sneak right back into it. In the NFL you must not only get a lead you must sustain it and the Redskins did not do that.
The Redskins have been known for unraveling and I hope this is not a preview of what is to come this season. Im looking for the Redskins to be consistant for once and competitive for once. Games like this do not prove any of those adjectives to be true at all. Ok so once you get over the fact that they let the Rams back into the game they have a chance to still win the game despite their faults and someone makes an untimely penalty.
I understand that football is a very emotional sport. Personally, I tell people all the time I do not see how anyone can go into a football stadium and feel absolutely nothing. Its too much electricity in the sport that eventually it just takes over you. However,with that said with your team a field goal away from a win a misorderly conduct call is something that is just unacceptable. You have to have beeter judgement than that. Josh Morgan has to keep a level head. Instead of a field goal in possible field goal range for Cundiff you push him back to a spot, which from the beginning looked like a no brainer that he would miss. That field goal didnt stand a chance thats for sure.
Ok so the Redskins lost. However, the kicker doesn't just go for sunday it goes for overall. The defense takes a HUGE blow with the injuries of Brian Orakpo and Adam Carriker.Its not like they will be gone for a week or so were talkin the season. The lost of Orakpo is seriously going to hurt the Redskin defensive front. I mean this is a guy coming into this game had one sack in two games and led the Redskins in sacks a year ago.
With a sigh I only hope that this doesnt mean things will get worse. Quite frankly im sick of the same sob story every year. Ultimately, I hope it isnt time to throw in the towel when it comes to the Redskins and its only week 2. Come on guys stay aggressive and level headed and you shall prevail. Redskin nation im lookin for a comeback against the Bucs in week 3.
Until next sunday im signing off as aggitated :/

Redskins Prevail...for right now?
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Redskin fan. Growing up in the Metropolitan area I do not see how people do not bleed burgundy and gold. I sure do without a doubt. We all know the history of the Redskins, which takes us back to the glory days of Joe Gibbs, Art Monk and the win of the the 80's and the early 90s. However, as I have made my transition into this beautiful world my team has showed me nothing but a horrendous showing. I DONT KNOW AT all those glory day and I say this with huge capitol letters. I mean the last time the redskins won the superbowl I was nothing but a couple of months old with no knowledge of it all.
With all that said is it the safe to say that the Redskins are finally making the turnaround that I have dreamed of since a little girl. Ok maybe my dreams of the Superbowl this year are too much of a close call so far, but I must say I woke up this morning Monday feeling like I had my swag back when it came to football. I could clearly walk one foot in front of the other confidently with my head held high knowing that my team produced a sunday win worthy of getting me through the week and making me feel productive. I mean come on people its nothing like when your team wins on sunday...all football fans know this too well.
RGIII's debut puts a bright eye in all Redskin fans eyes. After years of oblivian when it comes to the qurterback division in DC its seems as though we have finally found the glue that we have needed. Granted its about time Dan Snyder made the right offseason acquisition. I do not know what it is about Dan Synder. with all that money that he has his football persoective could use a little bit of a boast. Sometimes you worry about his dedication to the Redskins based on where he puts his money alone. However, the man FINALLY did the right thing and it showed through Robert Giffen III performance. Looking poised and as if he had been doing this for years as a professional. Ironically, this is a guy whose impact on the team was questioned to a degree. Adrew Luck was expected to do alot more. I mean his debut is ranked 4th overall in all NFL debuts and with 320 yrds throwing the ball I clearly will not shoot down any comments saying that the redskins have no offense. Can RGIII be the next Cam Newton this year? Could he not only do that, but as a Rookie propell his team into postseason glory? My heart says yes, but my instinct says to wait. Nonetheless in week one the grade is A.
What I will say is Football has come BACK to DC(in my Rock voice)! :) the Metropolitan area has something to smile about again. I will go out on a further limb and say not only is it back but its a force to be wreckin with in the NFC East. The Redskin people have a chance to win the divison. On the otherhand we all know the Redskins and its hard to take them serioudly. they start off great and then go throgh the Great Depression every year in the month of November. No one is ever concerned with the Redskins. Its the Giants sneak attack every year and everyone worried about what the Eagles and Cowboys are able to muster. I put it this way the Washington Redskins can be the team to mbeat if they can stay productive. Its about time that the Redskins are in conversations. On paper this team was not expected to win this game. That was even considered New Orleans Bounty scandal or not. We all know how hard it is to go into the Superdome and win. Not only did they win, but they competed with a Drew Brees team that puts points on the board. When is the last time have you seen the Redskins put up 32????? I havent seen it SMH. Im excited and next week against the Rams the locomotive will continue to run. I can go on for days, instead what I will say is the DEAD is Gone and the Red is BACK in REDSKINS! That is Mr.REDSKIN to you!
Until next week signing off Mykell Ramos...

Football Season BEGINS!!!...My Take
My name is MykellSade and this is my first time entering blogworld. In my world I wanna talk sports. My blogs and my blogs ONLY will be about sports. I encourage all sports enthusiast to follow me. I look forward to your comments and I look forward to reading your blogs as well. With all that said like all of the rest of America I have been impatiently waiting for the beginning of football season. Nothing against baseball, but all you do after the NBA Finals is pretty much slave away through the dogdays of summer to get to September where you can get some of your serenity back through football. Its time for man to man coverage, long passes, interceptions, beer, chips, and hard nose htting and tackling to get your motor running once again.
With all those intentions I tuned in thursday night at 8:30. On one side you have the SuperBowl Champion New York Giants. Its funny even though they emerged last year to be the best team in the NFL they came into the game under the radar. Apart of no conversations in the offseason and involved in none of the drama that would become of the offseason. An offseason offseason which saw Tim Tebow moving to New York with the other team that shares the MetLife Stadium, the Jets, Eli's older brother leaving the Colts, the team he helped to build and going to the Broncos and the Bounty scandal with the New Orleans Saints. With all that action no one mentioned the CHAMPS.
Ironically, that is how they like it. My personal take on the Giants makes them this team that perfotms this ultra sneak attack on the league every year. Everyone becomes so surprised by them. When no one is talking about the giants do there best work.
On the otherhand you have the Dallas Cowboys. A team that cant seem to escape drama whether the season is on or off. "America's Team" cant seem to catch a break. You wonder are the expectations too high for them. They are expected every year to be one of the top teams in the NFL and in some shape or form fall from grace. Its your decision whether or not you take them down from the pedestal you put them on or not. Quite frankly I think its time to throw it under the rug until they actually produce. Win when it counts and they havent yet.
The game starts off a little sluggish. Im not even gonna lie I was waiting and waiting for it to get kickstarted. After halftime I got my wish and both teams started producing productive drives. I must admit the Cowboys look good. Congratulations to Kevin Olgetree. This game was his comingout party. I believe that Tony Romo has a new favorite target finally giving Jason Witten some leadway. The Cowboys sustain a lead. With that said you cant get too serious when the cowboys get a lead, especially with the Giants involved. The comeback Kings. However, there was a change of events. The 4th Quarter always sees the Giants steamrolling back and winning the game, but this time the second half saw them coming apart at the seams. Nothing went right as they would want it to at all. Putting their stitches back together were the Cowboys who always seem to get the knockout punch in the meadowlands.And what do you know the Cowboys KEPT A LEAD! Well I'll be! Final score Cowboys 24, Giants 17. Does this game put Dallas already at the top of what the NFC East will become. Ok, lets not get carried away yet. I thought the Giants would win, however I was wrong.
The prelude to football season went pretty well. With an array of more games to come on sunday its so interesting to see how this season unfolds. Personally, im looking forward to the Redskins vs the Saints. On paper Bounty scandal or not you expect the Saints to win the first couple of games. The Redskins havesnt produced a winning season in so long. However, with the drafting of RGIII th hope in the Nations Capital seems to be resurgant. If the Saints win they did what they are supposed to do...If they lose they are effected more than you thought they were. If the Skins lose they got a long way to go...If they win there is a chance for things to get better. The "What ifs " are what makes Football so magical. Stay tuned to the season and this blog.
