Tomorrow’s 1:00pm home game against the Denver Broncos will be filled with about as much drama as an Adam Sandler comedy, one of the stupid ones. Sure, the Redskins have a lot of walking wounded. And yea, Mike Williams, Clinton Portis, and Chris Cooley won’t play....

You may have seen the Yahoo Sports article suggesting Michael Vick is not happy as an Eagle, due to the role he’s played to-date. No one with any drive and pride would be satisfied with such a limited and insignificant role. Happy or not, the fact is, Vick got what he needed...

Well well, the Redskins scored two touchdowns. Who knew Todd Yoder could get his feet down in the corner of the end zone? Instead of being routed, they fought back and scored 17 points. Atlanta lost a challenge of the Yoder catch, so they were down to 2 timeouts. More importantly...

The second quarter started with a sack of Campbell and a punt. The punt bounced the Redskins’ way, but an unsportsmanlike penalty on Tryon gave Atlanta the ball on their 35. They moved it to the Redskins’ 11 on a long run by Michael Turner, but Atlanta was called for...

Atlanta’s first drive started on its 27. About 6 game minutes later, it was Atlanta 7 to 0. Washington leads the league in preventing touchdowns in the red zone; Atlanta leads the league percentage-wise in scoring them. The Falcons relied on misdirection, hard counts, etc...

During the Redskins’ bye week, Curtis Lofton surpassed London Fletcher on the list of leading tacklers. Lofton has 76, Fletcher 71. Let’s hope that’s not a harbinger of what will happen in today’s game. Lofton plays for the Falcons.

You may have seen my post from a couple days ago about a Redskins’ fan at FedEx Field having his ‘Bingo Football Night’ sign confiscated. Apparently, he would have had the sign taken even if it had said “I Love Vinny & Danny” or “Dan Snyder...

With the bye week coming up, the Redskins’ players will get a few days of much needed R & R. It stands to reason that their psyches need as much of a break as their bodies do. I figure they’re professional enough and have enough personal pride to focus on winning...

ESPN reported last night that a Redskins’ fan who attended last night’s Eagles’ game had his sign confiscated. The sign stated it was ‘Bingo Football Night’. I don’t like making fun of Sherman Lewis’ community service, as Stuart Scott did...

The Sherman Lewis play-calling era began with a splat. That’s too bad, because I’m sure he’s a fine gentleman and a very bright football mind. The look on Clinton Portis’ face said it all. This was a night of futility for the burgundy and gold (or is that...

The second quarter started off with a thud. Will Witherspoon came in unblocked and chased Campbell, stripping him of the ball from behind. The Eagles had to settle for a 47-yard field goal. (By the end of this game, Witherspoon could earn a spot on the NFC Pro Bowl roster. ...

Wanna know how to lose a home crowd? Sell a ton of tickets to a third-party broker so there are plenty of Eagles’ fans in your stadium, give up a 67-yard touchdown on a reverse on the opening drive of the game, and have your quarterback fumble the snap to kill a drive. (At least [...]

The buzz around the Washington Redskins is just plain ugly. Frankly, it’s a bit out of control. I’ve thought back over several decades of Redskins’ negative headline-grabbing events: Jurgensen benched for Kilmer, John Riggins quits football prematurely, Jay Schroeder...

Once again an ESPN writer, in this case their NFC East blogger Matt Mosley, is piling on the Redskins. I’d take him to task, but ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ already did a masterful job of that. What is it with some of these guys? I’m telling you, some of it has to...

Is Jim Zorn being made a scapegoat by Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder? Could a different coach do that much better with the current Redskins’ squad? Sure, the Redskins have talent on paper. but, how much talent do they really have? In other words, do Dan Snyder and Vinny...
