Football Season is Here!

That was how I felt about 3 hours ago when this game started.  Sure last week's game was a bust (the Ravens lost 41-17 - or something equally as ugly) but this was the first week I was going to be home to actually watch the game. Surely my mere presence would tip the scales in our favor.  

And in the first quarter, that looked like it would be the case.  After the first possession we took the lead by a TD.  It was wonderful!  This game was going to be a full on trouncing of the Redskins.  Then it all went very, very bad.  The Redskins Defense decided to pile drive a Ravens player which led to a bench clearing brawl that even included the coaches.  Harbaugh tried to break the fight up but managed to get into it himself when Jay Gruden decided to yell something nasty at him.  Good on Harbaugh!  But he's very lucky he didn't get tossed like Steve Smith did...

After Steve Smith's ejection, it all went downhill.  Redskin TD after TD occurred until the point when we lost 31-13.  Seriously!?  All the while the players seemed to either be getting hurt on the field or laughing and joking on the sidelines.  WTH?  I feel that they're in for a serious come to Jesus meeting when they get back to the locker room - after the way Harbaugh yelled at Gruden, then snapped at a reporter during a live shot, and then yelled at a Ref, it would appear he's just not in the mood for crap tonight.  

Please don't tell me that this is what the rest of the season is going to look like.  I was pretty excited about football until I saw them play.  

Football was nice while it lasted, but maybe I need a new sport for the winter. I hear Hockey's nice...
