  1. Getting Defensive

    At the quarter-mark of the season seems like a decent time to do some statistical analysis of our Redskins to see how the offense and defense are doing. I will focus on the defense this week, offense next week. All stats are courtesy of the phenomenal site, Football Outsiders Let's start...

  2. Getting Offensive

    Last week, we looked at the Defense so far, this week, it's the offense's turn. Let's first look at some drive statistics, again courtesy of Football Outsiders. Their statistics show us that the Redskins are averaging just over 30 yards per drive, good for 17th in the league. For reference...

  3. Batman

    Remember Michael Keaton as Batman? Jack Nicholson as the Joker? Good, fun movies. Right? Certainly enjoyable anyway. Then they cast Val Kilmer, whom my wife loved, unlike most other people. Then they allowed Joel Schummacher (sp?) to ruin his career with the Arnold/Clooney/Uma...

  4. Mailbag

    Given the horrendous loss to the Panthers last weekend, I think something a little more... lighthearted may be best. Sooo, I decided to make fun of us all. That's right, you all, unbeknownst to yourselves, sent in questions to me that I should answer. If I offend any of you, get over...

  5. The Quick Turnaround Theory

    I hear a lot of Redskins fans asking why Mike Shanahan can't simply turn things around quickly, ala` the Bengals this year, or the Falcons from a few years back? The answer lies in something this franchise has ignored for a VERY long time: draft picks. Let's take a look at the NFC South...

  6. Shanahan As Clouseau?

    I took a break from writing last week because I felt like I didn't have much to add given the sorry state of the Redskins franchise right now. So, yeah, I might as well take the rest of the year off... ha ha, thanks for the support. Sheesh. Anyway, Sunday morning I wasn't feeling well, so...

  7. Schultz!

    All right, I'm gonna try something new, I'm excited. I've been thinking about this post, discarding topics, refining others. And I might even throw in some research too! Woot, baby! (I'm trying out some new phraseology to endear me to my 13 year old daughter. Nothing so far has worked...

  8. McNabb = Shatner?

    Yeah, I know. My wife has already cued this up in response to the thread title. Sorry about that. A little backstory seems appropriate. I am not a huge Star Trek fan. In fact, I'm not really one at all. But I love William Shatner. Why, you might ask? Denny Crane. One of the...

  9. Honoring the Redskins Performance in their first preseason game through... Anchorman?

    Yes, this is gimicky. Yes, it is probably something Bill Simmons would do or has already done. But he hasn't done it about the Redskins, darn it! So I'm going to pull some random quotes from the best comedy of the 2000's and apply them to the Redskins. Those of you who enjoy coarse...

  10. Birth of the PG 13 Rating

    I have four children, ages 4, 5, 9 and 12 (the older three all about to move up one year). We have been watching more grown up movies with the older two lately. By "grown up", I mean Sleepless in Seattle, Mrs. Doubtfire, etc. My wife and I Netflix'd some movies we grew up with, and decided to...

  11. Redskins as a Sports Movie

    Gonna be all over the map on this one. Fair warning. Om tends to wait before he writes; I like writing while it's fresh in my mind, including the emotion. Couple of things. First, nice game last night by the Redskins. To my mind, the Ravens were a little more physical last week; the...

  12. Hope

    Ah, preseason. So sorry to see you go. And now the cuts have been made too. Oh sure, there may be a few small moves left to be made, maybe even a bigger name to be picked up, who knows. Now it's time for the real games. Being a fan is an interesting phenomena. We have no (or very...

  13. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

    We didn't blow it. Four little words. And yet, what hope they give me. We didn't blow it. Oh, we had opportunities to screw it up. Some cynics might even say we tried to screw it up with bad snaps, missed INTs, coverage breakdowns (those of you in on the chat know my feelings about...

  14. Dazed & Confused

    I keep thinking about the game yesterday, and can't help but feeling confused. After the week one win against Dallas, there were a few certainties: 1) Our run defense was going to be a weak spot this year. Our pass defense looked all right however, and our D overall looked very strong. 2)...

  15. Hold On - Let Go

    Wearing shorts today. It's wet, rainy and generally ugly in beautiful downtown Chester, VA today, high of around 80, but I'm wearing shorts. Ask me why. (assuming you asked me here) Because I am not ready for summer to end! I love the beach, love vacations, love lazy hot days (not crazy...

  16. What's for Dinner?

    I'm confused by the "too much lemon flavor" comment.

  17. What's for Dinner?

    I'm trying a beer can turkey rubbed with honey, salt and pepper. Let me know how the mayo-rubbed thing works out John. I've bene doing that more and am loving it.

  18. MAJOR SITE ANNOUNCEMENT

    Sorry to hear this but I certainly understand. My genuine, heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for the tireless hours of devotion you poured out to make this community a reality. You succeeded far beyond any expectations I had when I stumbled upon this place years ago. As my passion for the...

  19. What's for Dinner?

    Made brisket for some friends this weekend and tried something new. Boone, I believe you rubbed one of your briskets with mustard and then put your rub on? I've been reading about the miraculous cooking properties of mayo and decided to try that. I mixed the rub (cumin, paprika, etc) in with a...

  20. Please Help Me Figure Out The Name Of This Movie

    WITH THE GREAT TIMOTHY OLYPHAUNT IN THE LEAD ROLE. (can't believe I didn't get to answer this one)
