  1. Om Field: 2010 Redskins: Great Expectations?

    Skinsfan76, the problem with using the "we could've won xxx number of games more easily" argument is that you also have to look at the games that you won that you could have lost. Of our four wins, only the Oakland one was convincing, and even in that one (like the Denver one) we were a bit...

  2. Om Field: 2010 Redskins: Great Expectations?

    Good article Om. I'm glad others caught you on that "Scenario 1" loss to the Eagles in the playoffs......a loss to Philly in the playoffs would leave a bitter taste in my mouth no matter what :( But I agree that finishing around the .500 mark, as long as we did so with some nice wins at the...

  3. Shanahan and Allen: The Politics of the Possible

    Well, this Shanahan that "lost his touch" was still able to coach a team to six winning seasons in the 10 years following the SB, four of which were 10 wins or better. While Mike did not get back to a SB during this stretch, which is what the goal should be, I'll take his 1999-2008 record over...

  4. PFT: Report: Redskins interested in Vincent Jackson

    The 1999 Skins did not break the single-season scoring record. That mark was held by the '83 Skins until the '98 Vikings broke it, and then after that the '07 Pats broke it. As for the debate, Norv probably should've been fired during or after the '98 season, but the ownership hangup kept us...

  5. Om Field: Redskins Awakening the Echoes

    If we had a season like 1971 I think I'd be satisfied (and that video is awesome). But there's something nagging at me that this season might turn out to be a bit similar to our most recent season that ended in "1" where we had a renowned coach roaming the sidelines. Difference being that I...

  6. PFT: Daniel Snyder says he can now "sleep at night"

    Well, but this one quote from Marvez's article is interesting: “I learned – and I think this has to do with Joe Gibbs – the most important thing for me personally is to have a head coach who is extremely competent,” said Snyder, referring to Zorn’s renowned predecessor. “That’s what I’ve got...

  7. RI: Mike Shanahan to reduce minicamp from three days to two

    Post is reporting that his holy fata$$ won't attend the session and wants to be traded. Don't let the door hit you where the Lord split you big boy!

  8. Dear Sarge

    Cooley was on a team that was going nowhere last season. Players get injured all the time. Whether the Skins have a penchant for getting bit more than other teams is a possibility. The Alstott call was horrible and would've meant a playoff game at FedEx and a possible trip to the NFCCG but in...

  9. Dear Sarge

    One of the things being bantered around is the level of "luck" that Snyder has had as owner of the Skins, especially when compared to Leonsis. Om, my question is this: By opining that Snyder has not been "lucky," are you asserting that Snyder (and the Skins) have been "unlucky" in his tenure...

  10. Om Field: DeAngelo Hall Sounds Off - And I Like It

    A win against the defending division champs the open the season, no matter by what margin, would have to viewed as a positive. Right now I'm expecting the Skins to start strongly, although after last year it would be foolish to think that any of these games are gimmes, even the Rams. And even...

  11. Om Field: DeAngelo Hall Sounds Off - And I Like It

    For all the optimism about Shanahan and McNabb, one also has to remember that it was only six short years ago when the Redskins, off of a disastrous 2003 season, brought in an HOF coach (albeit one, unlike Mike, who had been away from the game for quite a while) and a QB who had been a pretty...

  12. Om Field: DeAngelo Hall Sounds Off - And I Like It

    Understood Om, but its hard for me to imagine that in late Aprils of year's past you've had players moping around saying "Yeah, I dunno.......I think we're going to suck next season." Last offseason, the mantra was "Yeah, this is going to be Jason's second straight full season in the same...

  13. Om Field: DeAngelo Hall Sounds Off - And I Like It

    While I agree that there's probably not a whole lot of downside to comments like this, I think I'm largely in Sarge's camp on this one. Perhaps I can understand a little of where D'Angelo is coming from in that he's only been here for two coaching regimes and its hard for anything not to compare...

  14. Om Field: 2010 Redskins Schedule - First Reactions

    Om, agree that having four out of the first six games at home is pretty nice, and that the league could've made our road more difficult to start out. However, the quote above implies that the league was tougher on the Skins in years past, when in fact the opening part of last season's schedule...

  15. PFT: Donovan McNabb is headed to the Washington Redskins

    Is it at all possible that the Skins would redeal McNabb somewhere else for compensation? If not, I'm floored. I know there was talk of this on NFLN and CBS Sportsline earlier this weekend and after signing both Johnson and Parker my thoughts were "anything's possible." I've been a Skins fan...

  16. Release: Statement from Dan Snyder regarding Emmitt Smith comments

    As I said on another board, there's likely some historical context to this. Remember that Norv Turner was the Cowboys OC during the early part and might have (can't say for sure) been close to Emmitt on some level. I'm sure we all remember how Dan treated Norv like crap on some occasions during...

  17. The bill from the danny arrived today........

    LoyalSkinsFan, when people don't renew, more often than not it is for financial reasons. Sure, there are those that will choose to stay home and watch on the big screen, but many have determined that you can buy tickets on a game-to-game basis for cheaper than you would if you bought season...

  18. OF: Redskins Video Treasure

    That 1971 video was a lot of fun. I knew we lost to SF in the playoffs, but never really studied the details (I was only 4 at the time) and watching us miss a 4th and 1 and seeing the Niners take control is painful to see, sort of like watching the recent playoff games we had against Seattle...

  19. Who would you...?

    Wasn't the secondary the weak link on the '83 team? If Tony Peters and Jeris White had stayed from the '82 team, we probably go 16-0 (although not sure if they could've prevented what happened in Tampa). Had to instead rely on that rookie scrub Darrell Green :)

  20. Om Field: A Hostile Look at the Lost Art of Sports Journalism

    Nice piece of writing by Hostile. I'd like to see the article on Phillips that set him off.
