He will probably get annihilated by the Patriots but I will watch every down anyway and keep you updated for those who don’t get the game. If anybody else who can get the game would like to help share the load of the commentary, I would appreciate it.
Wash scores on very long run (65 yards) by Steven Sims, rookie free agent from Kansas. That was on second down, so Colt did not have to pass on that series. First time N E has trailed this Season
NE scores. After long but quick drive. That was way too easy. Missed extra point, so Wash still leads. Colt’s turn.
Colt sacked on first down. Almost sacked on second down. Screen incomplete on third down. NE rusher was all over Colt again. No chance. Brady’s turn. Brady sacked again on first down. Then a 20 yard completion followed by an 11 yard completion followed by five yard completion. You get the idea. Offensive pass interference. Probably won’t make a difference. 3rd and four. Illegal procedure. 3rd and nine. Wash has worst 3rd down defense in NFL. First down by inches. Challenge. Even if Wash wins challenge, NE will probably go for it. Wash won challenge, and NE is going for it. Tried trick play direct snap to running back. Wash not buying it. Colt’s turn.
Colt scrambles for nine. End of first quarter. Colt wins first quarter by one. Colt sacked on third down.. Brady’s turn.
Guy with best view right there doesn't throw a flag. Some *** hole a mile away comes in and throws a flag. I hate refs. When I reffed basketball, if the ref right under the basket didn't call it, if I was up top I certainly wasn't going to call something right under the basket.
Long pass interference on Wash. Gruden challenges. He is going to lose this challenge. Call stands. Brady throws two incompletions. Third and ten. 4th and two. Field goal try. Good. Colt’s turn.
Running play lost yards on first down. Colt completes short pass on second. Scramble on third. Not far enough.
NE will have to punt again. Redskins defense certainly has been holding up its end. Colt’s turn. Please block for him. Completed pass but receiver fumbles. Drats.
NE third and six at 12. Washington puts pressure on Brady. Bad pass. Intercepted by Washington on its half yard line. Peterson gets it out to 4. False start on Wash. Colt good pass to 21. Then holding on Wash on first down. Then a false start on Wash. I pity Colt having to play with these guys. Another hold on Wash. Declined. Second and 21. Completed pass.Third and 15. Completed pass for 11 yards. Wash has to punt at 2 minute warning.
Brady throws a pick at the 1. Colt completes a 20 yard pass while deep in the end zone to get out of the danger a bit. But Washington has now committed 2 false starts and 2 holds this drive, so they are back inside the 10 again. Geez.
Stands super empty. Washington the football team may have even less support than Washington the congress...
Who would have predicted Wash would get the ball with a bit of time remaining in first half only down by 2?
Just got that pic on Red Zone. Was bad but obvious miscommunication with receiver. Colt threw right receiver went left. Pretty obvious on replay, and you could see the two communicating after. Sucks no matter what.
Not sure if that was Colt's fault or not. His slot receiver ran 5 yards downfield, then took a 2-step feint to the inside and cut back towards the sideline. Right when he was a step into the feint, Colt threw to a spot where he would have been had he kept running towards the middle of the field. Clearly a mixup between the two of them; without knowing the play call I have no idea who was wrong. They were discussing it afterward and neither seemed upset at the other which is always a good sign.
NE driving to start second half. Hoping Wash can hold them to field goal again. Nope. TD pass. Nurts. Colt’s turn.
Colt completes first pass, to third string TE. Another completion, to rookie. Another effing penalty on Wash. colt completes third pass in a row. Third and long. No good.
