Same As the Old 'Skins

Every year the Washington Redskins vow they will become winners again, and every year the New York Giants beat them handily in an early-season game. Positive Start Is Wiped Out By Turnovers, Sloppy Play [washingtonpost.com]. Last year the 'Skins blamed it on officiating, now on turnovers for a 20-14 loss to the G-Men at the Meadowlands.

They always manage a lot of excuses, just no too many Ws. Conversely, as USA Today says, former MVP Kurt Warner, brought in to play quarterback until rookie Eli Manning is deemed ready, showed he still has good football left in him, completing 22 of 33 passes for 232 yards with no interceptions and a pretty 38-yard TD. Go Giants!!
