Week Two Preview: Redskins Looking to Avenge 08 Loss to Rams

The Redskins hope to pick up their first win of the 2009 season on Sunday as they head into Fed Ex Field to butt heads with the Rams. The Rams are coming off of a shutout loss to Seattle as they were unable to muster up any kind of offensive rhythm. The key for the [...]

Turnovers Set the Tone in Opening Day Loss

The Washington Redskins were unable to protect the football on Sunday turning the ball over twice and coming close to losing the ball two more times. We all know what happened to Jason Campbell as he threw one bad interception. The throw was forced and the pass should have been tossed out of bounds. Another [...]

Campbell-Cutler-Sanchez

Over the next 17 weeks I will be comparing the passing statistics of two players that were almost Redskin quarterbacks and the player that is the  quarterback for the team.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly: Week One

Early Hole Too Much to Overcome as Giants Beat Redskins 23-17

Sundays Redskins 23-17 loss to the Giants in the Meadowlands was once again a good measuring stick of what has to be worked on for the Skins to reach the next level. Problem is, there’s quite a bit that went wrong, more so in the first half when the team fell behind 17-0. Both the [...]

CB Rogers Says He’ll Go Vs Giants Sunday

The Washington Post reports that CB Carlos Rogers will go vs the G-Men Sunday: Redskins cornerback Carlos Rogers was limited in practice Wednesday, and, well, reporters are skeptical by nature. Unless something changes, Rogers said he will be in the starting lineup Sunday against the New York Giants at Giants Stadium. “Oh, yeah, man, I’ll [...]
