	In reply to Ken's letter, it seems a little ridiculous to list
6 or 7 plays that would turn around a game and then claim the rest of the
game was even.  Those plays set the tone for the entire game, which was
ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED by the Raiders.  (Yes, the broadcasters were accurate
in my opinion.)  Every play, the Raider defense either held Riggins in check
or took the Washington receivers' pass patterns away.  Time after time, the
replay showed how lackadaisacal the Redskin receivers were in running their
patterns and how tenacious the Raider secondary was.  The plays that Ken
listed only showed where the Raiders defense stuck out the most, but on 
every play they were controlling the line of scrimmage and the secondary.
Face it Ken, the game was only mildly interesting at the beginning of both
the game and the second half when the Redskins managed to score their only
touchdown (I really thought Washington was going to make a comeback at that
point).
