  1. Winning cures all ills

    That is too cool Henry. One of my childhood memories was watching my mom and dad screaming at the TV with excitement as the Skins came from behind to win a game. After doing some research I pinpointed the game to late in the 1973 season when Sonny came in for Billy to beat the Giants. But then...

  2. Thoughts on 2013 Scheduling

    Of the eight teams left that can win the SB, I think there are three.....Green Bay, Atlanta, and Denver......that we play on the road this season. If one of those teams wins it and is slated for the opening Thursday night game, I can see the league putting the Redskins in there. Like it or...

  3. No News, Is Bad News?

    The WaPo story tonight quoted the athletic doctor at Maryland as saying that an LCL tear could require 8-12 months rehab but an ACL tear in addition to that wouldn't necessarily lengthen the rehab timeframe.

  4. Fallout From Griffin's Injury

    Something that bothered me at the Ravens game is worth bringing up again. Check out the ESPN highlights from the game at around the 2:15 mark of this YouTube: After RG3 completes the pass to Garcon to get down to the 15, its obvious to anyone watching that he's in obvious pain, so much so...

  5. Pete Carroll : FedEx field conditions, "horrible"

    For a franchise supposedly worth so much, how come the Redskins always seem to be behind the curve on several improvements? Jumbotron? A nice one finally installed at FedEx a decade or so after almost every other stadium built since included one. Indoor practice facility? Just got built for...

  6. 2013 Opponents List - Home and Away - Released

    It'll feel nice to be able to predict a 10-6 or better record for the Skins with a straight face. I can see FedEx providing a real HFA next season and perhaps going 7-1. Away will be tougher, but going at least 3-5 should be doable. Although since we just won our first division title since...

  7. Blognostications: 2012 - Week 17 v Dallas Cowboys

    Those Cowboys teams with Staubach had Super Bowl pedigree. Heck, even Danny White made it to three straight NFCCGs. And of course you had the Cowboy era with the Triplets, much of which happened at the beginning of the Redskin decline 20 years ago. The present day Cowboys have had the...

  8. Redskins Are OK, Not in AFC West

    We get to play the AFC West next season, so aside from the away Denver game (assuming Peyton Manning sticks around), we should be able to comfortably predict three wins against those opponents next season. As for this Sunday, I think fans are just considering the due theory and that the Skins...

  9. Ravens fans were cheering and laughing when Griffin got hurt

    Way too many Ravens fans there today and when Rice scored to put them up 28-20 the place just exploded.......disgusting. Really hope a by-product of the Skins winning and the excitement that RG3 generates is more season ticket holders will actually decide to go to the games instead of selling out.

  10. RIP Sean Taylor #21

    Om wrote the linked post below when Sean passed. Obviously this was a piece Mark would've preferred not to write, but its his best ever, IMO: http://www.theomfield.com/2008/11/seans-gone-echo-08.html

  11. Huge win

    The 4th was nerve wracking but what a huge drive to eat clock after they had pulled to within 7 and a monster boot from Forbath to seal it

  12. What other team's bandwagon are you most likely to jump on ?

    Ravens are going to have a casino right outside their stadium in a couple years......that alone might make me jump ship if the Skins don't get their act together :biggrin2:

  13. We do NOT have to run the table, to make the playoffs

    Our defense is so bad that I don't expect us to be in the hunt for the playoffs. I'm thinking 7-9 best-case scenario at this point. However, I can see a situation where the Cowboys close in on the Giants for the division lead. Dallas has to visit FedEx the last game of the season. Wouldn't it...

  14. Cake or Death?: The Snyder Problem

    During an interview prior to the 2010 season, Snyder said something to the effect of "as long as I have Joe Gibbs or Mike Shanahan as my head coach, I don't have to worry as much.." I think the "relative" success of Gibbs in his second stint with the two playoff appearances made Snyder think...

  15. Predict the Skins Post-Bye Record

    Split with Philly. Split with Dallas. Split with the AFC North. Lose to the Giants.

  16. My Problem with Shannahan

    We actually played them after the bye last season as well. We were 3-1, they were 1-4, everyone said "We can really put the dagger in them...." The Eagles led 20-0 in the second quarter, and held on for a 20-13 win. Rex threw four INTs, and thus started the short-lived John Beck adventure.

  17. Washington Post: Shanahan Shouldn't Have Said That/Problems In The Locker Room

    Last season the Eagles were 1-4 and supposedly reeling and came in here.....and were up 20-0 in the second quarter.

  18. I'd Fire Shanahan Right Now

    Six minutes left, down by two TDs, you just gave the ball back to the Panthers. If you're still interesting in giving your team a chance to come back in the contest, shouldn't you start using your timeouts immediately? Not Shanny. Just sits on them and gets fortunate that the Panthers go deep...

  19. Like It Or Not Redskins Two Years Away

    I think all BT was saying is that this is still somewhat a shaky team and that the remaining salary cap penalty for next season (primarily) will limit our ability to fill holes and to perhaps lessen great expectations for the very near future. Saying "we're competitive" is fine but sooner or...

  20. Gibbs 10th on List of Greatest Football Coaches

    Shula only had two losing seasons in 33 years as a head coach. That's pretty damn impressive.
