Video: The tragic yet obligatory "Redskins trick play" clip

First Crowder’s Detroit video, now this. Too much tragedy during Christmas week, my friends.

JWF provides the soul-crushing detail that this was the second time they attempted to run the play. The Giants called timeout the first time they lined up this way, and then, with the element of surprise completely gone … the ‘Skins called the same formation. Result: Six Giants rushing the passer against two linemen. I … can’t go on.

Gregg Easterbrook sees the sinister hand of D.C. bureaucracy at work here, but I’m going to steal lorien1973’s comment from Ace since he’s one of our regulars too: “Typical DC. It’s retarded. No one understands it. It fails. But they keep doing it.”
