Yesterday I made a guest appearance on the Fox 5 Redskins Post-Game Show with Dave Feldman. I really had a great time. I hope you all had a chance to tune in. It even gave me a little pre-game adrenaline rush, and that was cool! I watched the first half of the game at home and the second half at the Fox 5 studios in DC. I was reminded of when I was a little boy watching the old Houston Oilers games more than 35 years ago when I watched those games with so much intensity. Doing post-game commentary was new for me but it felt the same as when I was a player: I just wanted to do a good job.

In case you missed the show, here is a summary of my thoughts on the game. First and foremost, it’s ridiculous that the Redskins fell to the last place Bengals, but no I don’t think Zorn’s job is in jeopardy. However, if he doesn’t change some of his management practices, he could be in for lots more headaches down the road.

As far as the game, I can sum it up in only one word: unacceptable. There is no excuse for loosing to a Bengals team with a record of 1-11-1, particularly when you are (were) still in the playoff hunt. I don’t necessarily think that Zorn's decision to twice go with Seller's on the goal line vs. Portis was in anyway motivated by some of the inflammatory comments from Portis last week, but nevertheless that choice in play calling may well be the reason that we find ourselves at .500 with a 7-7 record. I’m sorry to say it folks, but barring some major help from other teams; it looks like yesterday’s loss put the nail in the coffin of our playoffs hopes. Oh well, let's hope that 2009 will be our year! Go Skins!
