The Redskins Will Give Us a Heart Attack

We can say this about your 2010 Washington Redskins: they’re not boring.

It was ugly for the home team early on, as the Packers moved down the field at will. But then more and more Packers pulled up lame, and McNabb connected with Anthony Armstrong for a long touchdown, and LaRon Landry snatched the ball out of the air in overtime — it was like a real honest-to-goodness football team was filling their fans’ hearts with the joy of knowing that they are emotionally investing in a marginally competent product. It could be that, or the Redskins are just really lucky.
