The second quarter wasn’t as ugly as the first, but it wasn’t pretty either. The Redskins intercepted a tipped Tony Romo pass intended for Roy Williams, but lost Reed Doughty, the interceptor, on the play. The Skins’ best plays were all provided by the defense. There were the usual London Fletcher highlights, the afore mentioned pick, Chris Clemons staying home on a double reverse, and some decent pressure on Romo. That ain’t much, but it’s better than nothing.
I’m convinced LaRon Landry can’t cover, regardless of his blazing speed. Jason Whitten made him look silly and slow, but he’s not slow. I know Whitten is a [...]

The Washington Redskins began tonight’s match-up with division foe Dallas in dubious fashion. Jason Campbell led Fred Davis too much, resulting in a tipped ball which was picked off at about the 50 yard-line and returned to the Redskins’ 35. Shortly it was Dallas 7, Washington 0. The next Washington drive was defined by a Santana Moss offensive holding penalty. The Redskins couldn’t recover, and were unable to move the ball into Dallas territory.
The Redskins’ defense is playing tough, bending but only breaking once. That may not be good enough, as the Cowboys will receive the ball to start the [...]
Giants Need Redskins’ Help
What goes around comes around. Don’t burn bridges. You never know what tomorrow may bring. Tomorrow’s another day. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I don’t know which of the worn-out cliches above best applies to the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins, but the Giants’ players will surely come up with a few axioms of their own. After all, they pretty much wiped the uninspired Redskins off the face of the earth at FedEx Field last week. This week, they laid a Giant egg at home against the banged-up Carolina Panthers. It was downright ugly at FedEx [...]
Tonight’s the big night. The Washington Redskins host the Dallas Cowboys at 8:20pm eastern. The game will be televised on NBC, and will be broadcast on Westwood One radio. Of course, you can always listen to the game on espn980.com, if you prefer. The Armed Forces Network is also broadcasting the game live. As for those who are going to the game - Redskins.com reports that the FedEx parking lots will be open 4 hours before kickoff, and the stadium gates will be open 2 hours before kickoff. So there – you have no excuse for not seeing or hearing [...]
Cowboys & Indians: Ho Ho Ho
I wanted to tell you my thoughts on George Allen. I was hoping to sound cerebral even. But, it’s Dallas Week and I’m thinking of a couple Christmas presents I’d dearly love to have, one of which is a win over Dallas. In the spirit of the holidays, I will not say ‘I hate Dallas’. The heck I won’t – I really hate the Cowboys. Their cheerleaders are nice, though. Of course, the quality of the Redskins’ cheerleaders has improved markedly over the decades.
Fansided.com is buzzing with news that Shawn Suisham might be telling Dallas coaches a thing or two [...]
Cleveland & DC Swap Teams
The Associated Press is reporting that the Cleveland Browns have agreed to move to the nation’s capitol contingent upon the Redskins moving to Cleveland. The two cities will literally swap teams in what has been described by both owners as a do-over. When contacted for comment, the NFL league office noted that both teams’ records for the past ten years would be stricken from the record books as if the games were never played. Opponents will be appropriately credited with wins or losses, but the scores of the games will be blotted out.
This is one possible solution to the growing [...]
Tonight’s edition of Monday Night Football is over. New York Giants 45 – Washington Redskins 12. There’s an odor waffling out of FedEx Field tonight. It’s the stench of defeat encased in abject futility. Tonight the Redskins stunk in all phases of the game. I would say the Giants excelled in all phases, but how can you evaluate them when their opponent played with no apparent inspiration whatsoever?
I’m a loyal Redskins’ fan. I always will be. I watched tonight’s game in its entirety looking for signs of life. I saw a few: Quinton Ganther, Marcus Mason, and Fred Davis. Great [...]
Monday Night Football is the regular season’s grand stage of professional football. It’s a chance for teams which don’t always gain much national exposure due to perennial poor records to showcase their talent and toughness. It’s an opportunity for those teams to take advantage of the energy level which MNF brings like no other broadcast. Unfortunately, tonight’s game is a laugher. Literally, it is a comedy of errors by the Washington Redskins and an excellent practice session by the New York Giants.
The lack of heart with which the Redskins played during the first half is not characteristic of the team, [...]
RG: Tell us the truth, how badly did you guys make fun of Gus Frerotte for the head butt incident?
The idea is to get drunk drivers off the streets by giving offering a free and SAFE way to get home.
