In 2005 and again in 2007 the Washington Redskins faced strings of must-win games in December. They lost to San Diego in the last game of November of '05 to fall to 5-6. They then reeled off five straight wins to grab a Wild Card spot. Last year they were 5-7 after a December 2...

Good job by the defense, turning a second and one into a fourth and one and a punt. Jacobs got stonewalled twice and the Redskins have some life as the fourth quarter starts. 11:09a?"The teams exchange three and outs and with still plenty of time left, the Redskins still have...

It's a home game, so I'm trying a new work-around for the Wi-Fi disabled press box at FedEx Field. If you look to the left sidebar, you'll see a new box for updates via Twitter. Twitter is a dumb name for a pretty cool and useful service. It's a social network service...

The Washington Redskins should not have to worry about covering Plaxico Burress on Sunday. The New York Giants may or may not have to worry about tackling Clinton Portis. Burress, who torched the Washington secondary with 10 catches for 113 yards in the season opener, is listed as out with a ...

Redskins fans have plenty to be thankful for on this day: The Cowboys, Giants, and Eaglesa?"This seems a bit odd, but stay with me. The Redskins get to play six games a year against three of the most storied teams in the entire NFL, teams with long traditions (well, except the Cowboys) of ...

The Redskins' December 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens has been moved from a 1:00 PM kickoff to a prime time 8:30 affair on NBC. There are those who are complaining about the move given the Redskins' dismal record in prime time games this year. They are 7-1 in games that...
Skins-Seahawks First Take

Some initial observations, in no particular order. The Washington Redskins went back to the formula that worked early in the year. They battled even through four quarters and then dominated the fourth. Seattle ran all of five plays after they scored to tie the game at 17 with 13:24 left in the ...

The Washington Redskins have to have this one. I'm not calling it a "must win" because the Redskins could lose this one and still make the playoffs. It's a fine difference, but I'm sticking with it. When you've lost two in a row, when you are still separated...

Even though the Washington Redskins offense has scored just two offensive touchdowns in the past three games, don't look for coach Jim Zorn to go making wholesale changes. Zorn is staying medium. He stood steady both at his postgame press conference and in his Monday afternoon...

There isn't much more to be gleaned from this game upon watching it again, but here goes with a few observations: It's apparent that the Redskins need another receiving threat to supplement Santana Moss. Chris Cooley is good in his role, but he never has displayed an ability...

Bennett 25 pass from Romo (Folk kick) Cowboys 14, Redskins 10 Horton had good coverage on Bennett but the offensive player made a play on the ball and Horton didn't. Barber got the drive going with a nice run and then a pass reception. When he moves, the Cowboys move. When the...

I like the way the game is going, although I don't like Dallas' ability to get an offense goinga€"especially one featuring Barbera€"in the latter stages of the second quarter. There's no adjustment you can make for that besides just plain tackling the guy...

12:52a?"The Cowboys are getting a good amount of pressure on Campbell and it is pushing his passes off mark. In general, the offense has had no rhythm since that initial drive. They're not really making mistakes, dropping passes or committing penalties, but they're breaking...

--Clinton Portis is looking very spry during pregame warm-ups. Of course, it's easy to look like that before you get hit and a few large men land on your leg. We will see how things go as the game wears on. I still think we'll see Campbell airing it out more than he has up...

Darrell Green and Art Monk will be meeting with the press prior to their Hall of Fame Ring ceremony at FedEx Field on Sunday night. I will be there. I'll probably get a chance to ask one question of each of them. I've been kicking around a few ideas, but I thought I'd throw...

It's a home game on Sunday, so the live blog will be from the press box at FedEx Field. That means that it's via Microsoft Word with updates every quarter, maybe more often if the stars are aligned correctly and I can get a teathered connection on my laptop. I'm running...

As it says in the lead paragraph, most people remember Ken Houston's tackle of Walt Garrison at the goal line as a single moment frozen in time. What gets forgotten is that the entire game was a prime time Redskins-Cowboys classic. It was a Monday night matchup between the last two NFC ...
