As you have heard, the Redskins made the playoffs by defeating the Cowboys. Did you also know that they made the playoffs because Mark Mosley said so?

Mosley predicted it before the game, but also said that he said it at the Touchdown Tailgate Party before the first game of the season. And that this game would take them there. Impressive.
More impressive? That the defense held the Dallas running tandem to 1 net yard for the entire game. That's right, 7 yards on 8 carries by Julius Jones and -6 yards on 6 carries for Marion Barber. Wow. You'd think that on a fluke one of them would break out for a long one, but it didn't happen.
Despite being rained on, the freezing cold, the awful tailgate food (that was only mediocre today), Q and I had a great time. It felt strong. Even the 13-3 halftime score felt "safe" after the December the team has played, in comparison to the games played earlier in the season, when I thought a 20 point lead with a quarter to go wouldn't be safe. And Q said they needed to go play-action just one play before the Collins to Moss touchdown. Apparently his mic was on a 45 second delay.
Mosley, Q, and apparently Sean Taylor (who the entire team claims was in the stadium with them) all predicted the outcome. Those silly Seahawks don't have a chance.
