Redskins Poised to Surprise Pundits

Barring major injuries to their starters, the Washington Redskins are on the verge of surprising their critics.  They may not silence them, but they should surprise them.  Even with a significant injury to one or two starters, they could still defy the pundits.  How can that be, you ask?  Is this just the wistful musings [...]

Redskins 24, Patriots 27

The fat lady just sang, but not before Gostowski kicked the game-winning field goal for the Patriots.  It appeared to me that Belichek was tired and just wanted the game to end.  Imagine his horror if the Redskins had returned the kick-off to the 35 yard line and Suisham had converted a 52 yard field [...]

Redskins-Patriots – end of 3rd quarter

The 4th quarter is about to start, and I must say I’m not surprised that the 3rd quarter featured interceptions, penalties, and a touchdown for each team.  By the way, the Redskins just committed their 13th penalty of the game to start the 4th quarter, and it was a big one – 15 yards for [...]

Redskins-Patriots – 2 minutes to go

Look out now – the Skins are moving.  They got the ball near their 40 and voila, several first downs in a row.  Jason Campbell is throwing lights out now.  From the Patriots’ 31 he tossed it into the end zone to Moss to no avail.  If that doesn’t work, just pick up 7 or [...]

Redskins-Patriots – 2nd quarter report

Eagles Won’t Win NFC East

Eagles’ fans are a blast.  After a loss or close win over a perceived less-than-worthy opponent, you pretty much have to talk them off of the proverbial ledge.  They’re ready to jump to their deaths while obscenely skewing their beloved Eagles for every stupid move, real or imagined.  I feel for them, I really do.

The Media vs The Redskins

Ah yes, the established, entrenched media.  Say anything as fact, rehash everything, and for goodness sake, express those expert opinions which aren’t worth the cost of a single subscription because Columnists don’t get to know the teams on which they report well enough.  In the Redskins’ case, here are some recent gems …
Washington Post: ‘But Campbell [...]

Fred Davis Turns It Around Against the Steelers

He blocks, he causes a fumble on a punt, and he catches a touchdown pass from Chase Daniel. Guess what? Fred Davis looks like an entirely different player. He’s a site for sore eyes.
Speaking of turning it around, I believe Justin Tryon has acquitted himself, as well. He’s played most of [...]
