For the Redskins, losing to Philadelphia could be a necessary evil

Ordinarily, it’s about in this spot and in this time frame where you’d find one of the RedskinsGab staff previewing the Redskins upcoming game that weekend, which in this case, would be against the failed “dream team”: the Philadelphia Eagles. But let’s be honest: outside of pride, this game means absolutely nothing to either team. [...]

The Redskins vs. The Bills preview: Accepting Reality and Moving Forward

It goes without saying that the Redskins loss against Carolina last Sunday was easily their worst loss of this 2011 season. Not only was it their first loss by double-digit points (their previous biggest margin of defeat was seven points, courtesy of Philadelphia the week before), but they trailed by double-digit points for the entire [...]

Redskins LB Orakpo fined $15K for hit on Eagles QB Vick

The NFL has fined Redskins standout pass rusher Brian Orakpo $15,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Eagles quarterback Michael Vick in last Sunday’s game according to Mike Jones of the Washington Post. Orakpo was flagged for unnecessary roughness after he hit Vick just after the quarterback threw the ball away in the end zone during the [...]

The Redskins vs. The Panthers preview: numbers by the dozen

The Redskins and the Panthers square off this Sunday, in Carolina, at 1:00pm. Both teams are coming off tough divisional losses, yet even though the Redskins are 3-3 and the Panthers are 1-5, Carolina is actually favored to win this game (two point favorites, as of this post). Let’s take a look at both of [...]

Good Rex, Bad Rex, Goodbye Rex, and Good Riddance, Rex

Rex Grossman was not the answer at Quarterback for the Washington Redskins. He never was, and now he certainly never will be, either. Let’s be honest: we knew he wasn’t the answer at quarterback last December, when he was promoted over Donovan McNabb. We knew he wasn’t the answer when Mike Shanahan turned the preseason [...]

Risky Rex ravages Redskins; fall to Eagles 20-13

Whenever a quarterback controversy leads the headlines following a game – it’s never a good thing. That was the case for the Redskins, as the signal caller who started under center for them ended up getting benched due to four interceptions – three to the same defender, Eagles safety Kurt Coleman. Despite his poor performance, [...]

Figuring out the Running Back rotation

It took an highly productive and highly impressive outing for running back Ryan Torain to remind us of what he’s done for us in the past, and what he’s capable of doing, when healthy. In his first action of 2011, Torain ran for 135 yards (a season high for any Redskins running back) and a [...]

The Pundit’s Playoff Preview, Round 1

So we’ve come upon that time of the season where us Redskins fans have absolutely nothing to talk about … at least until free agency time, when we get to renew our title as “Offseason Champs.” In the meantime, lets take a look at the teams who are actually still playing football. Here’s my breakdown [...]
