The Redskins, denial and rivers in Egypt

Sunset over Sphinx and Pyramid of Chefren in Giza
We knew the season was over as soon as Jammal’s hip blew a gasket his first 100 yard dash this preseason, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over as soon as Chase Minnifield blew his knee again, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over as soon as Tanard Jackson blew one too many joints, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over when it was clear that NONE of the offensive lineman we drafted this year would be able to produce anything this year, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over as soon as Pierre Garcon stayed out 2 plus games with a nagging foot injury, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over as soon as Orakpo and Carriker fell for the season, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over when Trent Williams started bruising bones left and right, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over as soon as they signed Davey Jones (of the Monkees?  Heck, they can’t even cover a Beatles song let alone an NFL receiver), but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.

We knew the season was over when RG3 started getting pounded ruthlessly dozens of times per game, but we were in denial and pretended otherwise.  In fact, we should call him “Wile E. Coyote” and all opposing defensive ends “Road Runner.”  You can almost see the puff of smoke as they race past Polumbus and/or Black on their way to a certain hit on RG3.  RG3 can cover the Nike logo with an “Acme” logo.

It’s officially a ‘rebuilding’ season folks, with the exception of RG3, whose body is now ‘deconstructing.’
