1-5 is a lot better than 0-6

Sunday morning Lelaine, Kellie, Isaac, Nick, David and his boys, and I went out to FedEx Field to see the Chiefs-Redskins game, a true clash of the titans. The Chiefs only make it here once every eight years, so I figured it I had to go, no matter how poorly the team has been playing.

It was good football weather: mid-40s and cloudy (good for me at least, Lelaine was a bit chilly). A nice day for tailgating. After brats, hot dogs, burgers, mac and cheese, chips, brownies, and a couple of beers we headed into the stadium.

There were a fair number of Chiefs fans in attendance, which was a nice surprise. We weren't really harassed and I even got a few compliments on my Will Shields jersey. To show you how bad it is for the Chiefs this year, Kellie was wearing a Matt Cassell jersey that her mom sent her, complete with a 70% off tag still intact. Pretty sad that you can get a jersey of our starting QB who is in his first year on sale already. As you can see from the pics, the apathy extends to the Skins as there were a lot of people dressed up as empty seats.

The game wasn't pretty but someone had to win, and luckily the Chiefs were that team. The defense played well, or maybe the Redskins offense is just really bad, and our four field goals and a safety were enough to put the game away. Skins fans are pretty distraught by the loss and calling for the coach's and owner's heads for losing to the lowly Chiefs, but I'm just happy we are no longer winless.
