Should we expect that the team should never come out flat at any time during the season? No, that's unrealistic. But is it unreasonable to expect them to get up for a December game when they're 7-6 and in the playoff hunt? Not at all. A Joe Gibbs Redskin team may not have won this game, we don't know that for sure. But I can promise you they would not have come out flat.

Schneed, I respect your opinion, and I don't want to come off like I'm dismissing it because you are saying it. It's actually quite the opposite. I'm re-evaluating my own opinion becuase you've seen something that I didn't.

But I'm still brought back to the conclusion that it's probably not just a lack of effort, especially considering what this team did last year, and in 2005, and that they certainly knew what was at stake, and then they got their shit together, both sides of the ball, in the second quarter.

So if that's what you saw, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. I'll be looking at the tape tonight, and will consider the possibility that I am incorrect.
