Redskins Roundtable: Week 3

Last weeks loss to the Texans in OT was in a word: Rajan: Frustrating. The Texans were clearly on the ropes in the 4th quarter, and the Redskins were a converted 3rd and 1 and/or less than two inches away on a near-70 yard TD pass from putting the nail in the coffin last week. [...]

Chelle’s Picks 9-26-10

 It sure doesn’t feel like a 10-6 week, mostly because the teams I was most certain of were the ones that lost, big!!  The Jets beat the Patriots???  The Ravens fell to Cincinnati??  The Bears beat Dallas?  And the Vikings are 0-2:  it just goes to prove that every season brings fresh surprises.  But still, [...]

Redskins Injury List

Via Redskins blogger Matt Terl: Anthony Bryant is OUT for Sunday’s game. “He’s got a concussion,” head coach Mike Shanahan said. “He got a concussion on Wednesday, and he’ll be out for the game.” It does not get much more clear-cut than that.

Clipped from: profootballtalk.nbcsports.com (share this clip) “Really, everything that’s going on over there is none of my concern. Anything I may say at this point really doesn’t matter.” “That’s Philadelphia. Things like that happen. I’ve been a part of that for 11 years and, obviously, as you see, it just doesn’t stop.”

Getting the ‘Skins in Sync – By the Numbers

After the Washington Redskins’ devastating overtime loss to the Houston Texans in week 2, players, fans and analysts scrambled to identify what went wrong. Certainly, something major went wrong for us to allow 20 unanswered points and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The near loss against the Cowboys brought praise for the Redskins’ [...]
