Redskins Vs. Dolphins: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

I’m aware that these articles imply that there actually is something good to take away from yesterday’s game, and over the last five weeks, it seems like an impossible task, but I will surely do my best. At 3-6, any hope of a playoff berth is clearly gone.  The season is lost, and Mike Shanahan’s [...]

The Redskins Make A Few Roster Moves, None Of Them At Quarterback

Just in case you haven’t been paying attention to the happenings at Redskins Park due to the lingering hangover of another bad loss, I wanted to keep you up to date. The big roster news this week in the NFL was the releasing of Patriots defensive tackle, Albert Haynesworth.  I smiled a little bit when [...]

Six Positive Glimpses Of Hope On This Depressing Redskins Monday

A lot of my faithful Redskins fan brethren might not like me saying this, but any hope of a positive outcome to the Redskins 2011 regular season walked out the door a couple weeks ago. And guess what?  This shouldn’t be a shock.  Sure, the Redskins are playing terribly right now, but we knew before [...]

It’s Time For Sam Huff To Ride Off Into The Sunset

Okay, now before I say anything, let me say this.  I’m a die hard Redskins fan.  I always have been. And I used to really enjoy hearing Sam Huff and Sonny Jurgensen go back an forth during Redskins game calls.  They’re Hall of Famers.  I remember my dad telling me stories of Huff killing opposing [...]

Redskins Vs. 49ers: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

I think I’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who honestly thought the Redskins had a legitimate chance to beat the 49ers yesterday.  Washington’s many issues are obvious to anyone who knows anything about football, and Jim Harbaugh has his team playing the best football they’ve played in almost two decades. And sure, a 19-11 score [...]

John Beck Just Got Sacked Again: NFL Changes Box Score, Adds Tenth Sack

More bad news. Not only did Carlos Rogers make us all feel like scorned lovers yesterday, but we apparently witnessed a Redskins record on Sunday against the Bills. And it’s not a good one. Nine sacks was bad enough, but apparently the NFL has changed the defensive stat line in the box score following their [...]

We’re Missing Carlos Rogers, But He Sure Isn’t Missing Us

During his time as a Redskin, Carlos Rogers had an up and down career to say the least. He was drafted 9th overall out of Auburn in the 2005 NFL draft ahead of guys like DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, and Aaron Rogers, but he never really lived up to his potential. There’s no question he [...]

The Shanahan System Is Broken

I’ve never really been one to question coaching and/or playcalling.  The bottom line is that the players are the ones who are on the field responsible for blocking, tackling, and making plays. A coach is only as good as his players. Unfortunately, I’m finally beginning to believe that the opposite is true as well. When [...]

Redskins Vs. Bills: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

I was hoping I would feel a little bit better about yesterday’s game after a good night’s sleep, but, unfortunately, I actually feel worse. That was one of the worst Redskins performances I’ve ever seen.  They were bad in every area.  They got beat in every area, and the rest of the season is not [...]

The Redskins Are A No-show in Toronto Against The Bills

Pathetic Pathetic Pathetic. The game’s not even over but I felt compelled to write this article in the past tense anyway. I’ll write a more thoughtful, analytical article tomorrow when I’ve cooled down, but there are a few things I need to get off my chest right now. – I’m finally willing to place blame [...]
