The Redskins had every reason to win yesterday. The Vikings have been a disappointing mess of a team this year after reaching the NFC Championship game last January. Minnesota can’t score points. Their passing game is weak. They turn the ball over with reckless abandon. They just dumped their head coach. But the Redskins just didn’t look up to the task yesterday, putting in an all-around lackluster effort — punctuated by a few killer mistakes — and gifted the Vikings a 17-13 victory. The agenda for this meeting of The Eternal Pessimist’s Club is presented herein for your review.
