Sad thing for redskins fans is the bear seems to always get us. I'm already in basketball mode honestly, I will prob watch some of the game tomorrow but I'm sure we will find a way to lose a tight game in which we should have won.
And it would be good to learn from the past so we learn some lessons from it.

It doesn't matter how highly they were rated. They were both high return, high risk propositions and everyone knew it(DT=raw and just ran go routes. MK=injuries all the time). The only teams that should have made a go for them are those who could buffer themselves against such a potential loss to such an investment, aka teams that were already "set" at WR in 2008 or had super awesome coaches who would fix their flaws(i.e Shanny here or Hue Jackson there in Oakland).
