Say what you will about Joe Gibbs. He's lost it. He's not as sharp. He should retire before he does further damage to his legacy. All that may have some validity. But he's still Mr. December. The Redskins have no reason to be one game away from the playoffs with destiny in their hands. Their QB is hurt, their best defensive player was murdered. They lost four in a row and heartbreaker after heartbreaker. Those are backbreakers and spirit breakers, but somehow Gibbs has rallied the team and right now they're hot. Dallas has nothing to play for this Sunday while the Redskins have everything at stake. Hopefully, they'll continue to play like that and take it to the Cowboys.
And how about Todd Collins? Makes you wonder how many guys there are like him who never really get a shot and can clearly play and compete at the top levels. The good thing is that while Collins may be 36, he's like a 16 year-old car that's never been driven. He's got no dents, no rust, no long-term damage. Look, Jason Campbell is the future, but watching Collins play mistake-free football these past three games makes one realize that maybe Campbell was being a little rushed this year.
Anyway, that is getting way ahead of ourselves. It's one game at a time. Just beat Dallas that's all that matters and everything else will take care of itself.
Rambler is off to D.C. Happy holidays to all.

for some reason every time i read a sports related blog it's like being back home as a child, and my dad's got the game on with the volume up and my mom is screaming to turn it down. I look at it, try to read it, try to understand, and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. NONE. I don't WANT to get it. I just want it to be OVER! Waaaaa!!! Have fun in DC. Merry Christmas, Mr. Rambler. Is hairy Roni coming?
