Yesterday, the Washington Redskins released punter and holder Hunter Smith in a knee-jerk reaction to their 17-16 loss to the Tampa bay Buccaneers.
I know the snap from center Nick Sundberg sailed through Smith's hands, but it was a tad high and the ball was damp. But the thing that really stood out was Smith blamed himself in the locker room afterwards to any reporter that would listen.

CHICAGO - Tom Brady threw for 369 yards and two touchdowns, and the New England Patriots locked up their eighth playoff berth in 10 years with a 36-7 pounding of the Chicago Bears on a snowy, blustery, bone-chilling Sunday.
The win was the fifth straight for the Patriots (11-2), and this one was no less impressive than their 45-3 rout of the New York Jets on Monday night. They wasted little time blowing it open, grabbing a 33-0 halftime lead and sending coach Bill Belichick to his 174th career win. That put him in a tie for 10th place with Mike Holmgren.

Three years ago last week, the then-unknown Shaun Suisham became Washington's kicker. Suisham, a Canadian who played college ball at Bowling Green, had spent a preseason with Pittsburgh and another with Dallas. He had made four of six field goal attempts in five games for the Cowboys in 2005 and 2006.
There was no reason to think Suisham would end the Redskins' revolving door at kicker. The team had gone through 12 different players at the position since Norv Turner decided during training camp in 1995 that Chip Lohmiller no longer had it.

There was little reason to suspect it was going to be a good afternoon for the Washington Redskins on Sunday in the House That Jack Built and Danny Expanded.
After all, they had limped home from Atlanta last week after a fourth straight loss dropped them to 2-6. They were a heck of a lot closer to the No. 1 overall pick than to .500. And running back Clinton Portis and young safety Chris Horton had joined an injury list that already included offensive linemen Chris Samuels and Randy Thomas and Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley.
