Monday Morning Quarterback: Complaining about winning

Monday, October 27th, 2008

It’s better to complain about how we’re winning than to be complaining about how we’re losing. That seems to be the characteristic of this season. We’re winning games, but finding it easy to raise concerns about how those victories are being achieved.
The most stunning mark of this season has been how dominant we have been [...]

It’s better to win ugly than lose (Redskins 14, Browns 11)

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

You heard it first here: Clinton Portis is going to win the league MVP and rushing title. I’m not just saying that out of blind faith and optimism. After a game where not a lot went right, the one things we can all be grateful for is #26. The man is a machine, in the [...]

Monday’s Headline: Redskins Rebound, Romp Browns

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

That’s right ladies and gentlemen. I will not be detered by a pathetic showing against the league’s cellar dwelling Rams. I have gazed into the future through my burgundy crystal ball and I see that the Redskins will return with a strong performance and a win.

Daily Wagon: Brief analysis of Redskins-Rams game

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

First of all, I apologize for the typoes in the two posts during the Rams game. I was upset and probably not thinking very clearly. I was remote blogging using my iPhone and the app I was using has no ability to edit posts. Once they’re saved, you cannot change the content until you get [...]

Goodbye playoffs

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

You can kiss the SuperBowl and maybe the playoffs goodbye. If you’re a good football team you don’t lose to college teams like the Rams. The Rams were not a good team ready to break out. They are a pathetic, inept excuse of a team that could not win unless their opponent hands the game [...]

Rams up at half

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Well don’t tell me I didn’t warn you about the Skins struggling in the first half.
At some point the turnover bug had to hit, but talk about stupidity. Why on earth you would catch that batted pass and make you team call it’s last timeout is beyond me.
Hopefully I was also right about the Skins [...]

If the season ended today-NFC playoff picture

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

It’s never too early to start looking forward to the real season, the playoffs. The NFC playoff picture will have a permanent home on the schedule page, and I’ll post updates each weekend.
So, here it goes. If the season ended today…
1. The Giants would win first place in the NFC East, and home field advantage [...]

Fight for Old DC in Old DC

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Mark Maske is reporting that there will be attempts made in the not too distant future to bring the Redskins back to Washington D.C., with a stadium project that would be suitable for a SuperBowl. My quick take:
1. Didn’t we just build a new stadium? If build a new one, Fedex Field might have had [...]

Question for Tony Kornheiser on PTI

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I’m going to work for you out there under my care in Skins Nation. I am attempting to establish contact with Mr. Kornheiser, to ask him about the bandwagon. Today I sent him the following email:
Tony,
I know you hate talking about your local teams, but when are you going to at least speculate about bringing [...]

Are the Redskins the best team in football?

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

It’s an interesting question. You are probably expecting me to answer with a resounding yes. After all, as the keeper of the Redskin faith and shameless promoter of all things burgundy, why would I hesitate to start the early coronation of this year’s champs inside the Beltway?
In past seasons we’ve always been the best team [...]
