Skins beat Cowboys 26-24

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Folks, we’ve got ourselves a football season. There’s nothing more deliciously sweet than going down into Big D and beating the favored Cowboys, taking them out of the ranks of the undefeated, and igniting a new controversy in the Dallas clubhouse surrounding T.O. It was awesome.
After the game I sent a text message to the [...]

Skins at 2-1: Defeat Cardinals 24-17

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

I’m not saying we should strike up the bandwagon at this point, but 2-1 sure sounds a lot better than what I thought we were in for two weeks ago after losing so miserably to the Giants.
Assuming you saw the game, and the way that our offense started out pretty, put enough points up to [...]

Redskins Defeat New Orleans 29-24

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Is it just me, or does it look like we might have some semblance of a football team after all? After not showing up in the Meadowlands opening night, two-thirds of our team showed up for the home opener. I’m still not sure when our special teams are going to decide to start playing, but [...]

Prediction: Saints Sink Skins 24-20

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

That’s right. Your ever optimistic, yet very accurate predictor of Redskin outcomes has predicted a agonizing home opener loss to the Saints of New Orleans. We will start 0-2, which will make it ever important to re-read my most recent reminder of Joe Gibbs 0-5 start to his first season, and to also read Merril [...]

Joe Gibbs started 0-5

Monday, September 8th, 2008

For those people already speculating about how patient Daniel Snyder will be with Jim Zorn, presuming that the new coach will be fired if he starts 0-2, let’s just remember a little bit of history. Joe Gibbs started 0-5 his first season. The next year he won the Super Bowl. I’m not saying history will [...]

Giants-Redskins: 16-7

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I’m not sure what needs to be said about this game, other than this: don’t overreact and fall into utter dispair, or start calling for Jim Zorn to be fired and Jason Campbell to be replaced.
Did you expect the Redskins to be a Super Bowl team? The offense sputtered. It’s going to take time to [...]

Redskins-Giants: 16-7 Half

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Could it have started any worse? Probably not. Not a single first down, not even a pass completed until the last drive of the half? Total ineptitude on defense? No, it could not have started any worse.
Actually, perhaps it could have. Rock Cartwright is a beast, giving us at least some hope. And, to their [...]

Redskins Predictions: Washington 24, NY Giants 13

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

I’m going out on a limb here, a serious limb. But, as the Keeper of the Redskins faith, I must start this season on an optimistic note.
Contrary to what we’ve seen the past two weeks, Jason Campbell will actually hand the ball off to Clinton Portis. Portis will run for 115 yards, Jason Campbell will [...]
