Piling on
It's been a tough week for Redskins fans, but I'm going to pile on. The sneaky moment the Wild Card loss changed was not necessarily Shaun Suisham's missed field. It was Chris Cooley's drop just three plays before. On the first play after the Redskins recovered a fumble, Todd Collins threw a slightly low pass to the sideline. Cooley went into a slide to catch it, it hit him in the breadbasket, but he didn't hold on. He was at the two-yard line, and the play looked routine enough that Tom Hammond calling the game initially called it a catch.
Cooley makes that grab and its first-and-goal at the two, up a point, with 12:30 to go. Time to move on, I know.

Started by player-player season review today. Is this overkill? I considered looking at the preseason top-200 and seeing where we all went wrong, but went for quantity over quality. May explore the other option later. Let me know what you think.
Back with some thoughts on Martz in a second.

Gregg:
I'll take analysis of the pre-season top 200 over the every-player review, with maybe a bonus section covering some of the under-the-radar players and 2007 surprises. Gimme quality over quantity!
Thanks for a great season, and hope you keep it up.
