D.C. Sports Bog:
I’m pretty sure I’ve successfully diagnosed one issue that the Redskins are facing. It’s like a contradiction or something.
1) They say they’d like to win the turnover battle.
2) They employ Rex Grossman.
Grossman, bless him, has 18 turnovers in his nine starts this season. His 15 interceptions are third in the NFL, and he has 95 fewer pass attempts than anyone else in the top six of that category.

Rex Grossman aiming for strong rebound
Rex Grossman admittedly didn’t play his finest game last Sunday as Washington fell 34-19 to the New York Jets. But the Washington Redskins quarterback knows he must put that outing behind him.
The nine-year veteran completed just 19 of his 46 passes (just 41.3 percent, second-lowest of his season) for 221 yards and an interception, was sacked twice and fumbled once. Grossmanâ€...
Jurgensen predicts Rex Grossman will be back
If anyone wondered whether Sonny Jurgensen was still plugged in at Redskins Park, those questions were answered last month when Jurgensen made it clear that he knew the Redskins were switching quarterbacks before the players themselves know.
So this exchange between Kevin Sheehan and Jurgensen during this week’s Redskins Radio Network’s pre-game show (as heard locally on ESPN...
Shuffle Up and Schedule: Can the matchups elevate Rex Grossman?
The money weeks in Fantasy Football are Weeks 14-16, and with that in mind, it's time to crunch the matchups again. The rankings below are how each team's Strength of Schedule looks for the next three games (based on FF points allowed over two months, with some special sauce thrown in). We're not saying the Redskins passing game can be trusted or the Steelers passing...
Redskins Can't Keep Up With Jets
The Redskins couldn't keep up with the Jets, as the NFC East club fell 34-19 on their home turf of FedEx Field.
Fantasy Spin:
Quarterback Rex Grossman was erratic as usual, completing 19 of 46 passes for 221 yards, with no touchdowns against one interception. Roy Helu led the ground attack with 100 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, to go along with four catches for 42 receiving...
Washington Redskins vs New York Jets: Week 13 Preview
When it comes to the Redskins it’s all but impossible to predict what will happen next. Rex Grossman is always full of surprises, some good but most bad. The same thing can be said of Mark Sanchez. Both Quarterbacks have had just a tiny bit of trouble throwing the ball to, you know, the correct team.
Rex Grossman and his infamous alter-ego Turnover-saurus-REX has thus far thrown...
Skins Blown Over in 4th Quarter
These are the games that really annoy me. The Redskins scored a touchdown on their opening drive and they seemed to be doing well (8 plays, 82 yards). The Jets scored a TD as well, but did so in 9 minutes. That would be the only score for both in the 1st quarter. The running game seemed solid for the 1st quarter. They could have won this game no problem.
In the 2nd quarter...
Sustained drives key for Redskins vs. Patriots
Washington Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman looks to rebound from one of his worst outings of the season. Grossman completed just 19 of 46 pass attempts against the New York Jets with an interception. That amounted to a 47.5 quarterback rating, down from 95.5 and 96.6 against Dallas and Seattle respectively, ...
Sunday’s five least valuable players, Week 13
Rex Grossman, Quarterback, Washington Redskins. The Redskins quarterback situation is worse than that of the Texans, Colts, or Dolphins, despite those three teams all suffering catastrophic quarterback injuries, while the Redskins have chosen their exact situation and "enjoyed" good health at the position all year. Rex's performance Sunday is about as bad as a quarterback...
Looking for a good sleeper?
Last night we had friends over for a bourbon tasting party and despite the boisterousness that inevitably developed, our son managed to sleep through the entire thing directly one floor above the fun. Such a good sleeper. But if it's fantasy sleepers that you're in the market for, just read on.

Everyone giddy about Maybin's giddy-up
Less than 24 hours removed from a fourth-quarter strip sack of Rex Grossman that helped seal the Jets' 34-19 win, Aaron Maybin had a seat in Rex Ryan's office, chatting it up with the coach.
Opening Lines: Week 14
The Patriots opened as 7.5-point favorites as they travel to Washington to take on the Redskins in Week 14.
Despite my inhibitions about trusting Rex Grossman against a good team, I was leaning toward taking the Redskins in this game when I first glanced at the line. For all of their warts, this Washington team has a better-than-average defense with a very good pass rush and can...

Ugh.
Denver 35, Minnesota 32: Did Tim Tebow do it again or did Tim Tebow do it again?
Sidenote – Lets all just pretend that the Vikings are a real NFL team this year. It helps with the whole Tim Tebow mystique.
Also, this was awesome.
NY Jets 34, Washington 19: You want to win with Rex you have to be prepared to lose with Rex and when you lose with Rex, woof.

Akh’s Thoughts: Week 13
1-While the skins did fight for most of this loss against the Jets, they simply weren’t good enough to survive a generally mediocre game turned in by most of the players. Grossman, to his credit, held of from his usual turnovers for most of the game, but didn’t you just know that bad rex would show up at the most inopportune time? The defense held the jets generally in check...
