The Washington Redskins finished the season Sunday with a 17-14 loss to the New York Giants. Truth be told, the Giants played as poorly as the Skins did. Nevertheless, it was appropriate, I guess, that the Skins lost by 3 points – the value of the missed field goal. Although they posted the win, the Giants will also be at home once the playoffs start. The Redskins finish at the bottom on the NFC East, even below the Dallas Cowboys, who have the same horrible 6-10 record but won one more division game.
I’m not going to say a word about next season being a “rebuilding” year. We’ve had far too many of those. The Skins, since Dan Snyder purchased the team, are unrecognizable as the current incarnation of this storied franchise and are an embarrassment to the NFL.
My new favorite team, the Indianapolis Colts, take their 10-6 record – good enough to win the AFC South – into the playoffs next week against the New York Jets, who, at 11-5, enter the playoffs as a wildcard team.
Looking ahead, it appears that it will be the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons in the Superbowl.

Too many turnovers. Also too many batted passes.
Hmmmm…Pats V. Falcons…I wouldn’t overlook the Saints.
I guess it does seem like the Saints are finally starting to peak at the right point in the season, but it’s hard to forget that stretch in the middle where they lost to two 5-11 teams (Browns and Cards).
Ya know what? ……….I am not a fan of theirs really, but I’d kinda like to see the Falcons win.
NFL story of the year (insert a touch of hyperbole here)… Lions win 4 in a row!!
