The fact of the matter was that the Redskins collapsed in the 4th quarter of
the 49er's game (yes, they were robbed) and stayed collapsed throughout the
Super Bowl. They simply peaked too early, against the Rams, and the slide
downhill was fast and steep after that. Very much like what happened to the
Cowboys in the 2nd half of the Skin's game: they fell apart and were not
able to recover for the rest of the season. Will they (the Skins) be back
next year? I hope so, but they are Old, and DC is not a good town for
football support -- too much else to do here.

One other note: maybe there were only six plays that made the difference;
but these are PROFESSIONAL players and they play PRESSURE football. Six
fowled up plays is nothing in high school, it's the Humiliation Bowl in the
pros.
