Burner's Burning Questions: Grades, Evals, Questions, Regular Season, 2018
Week Six
Greetings to everyone here in BGO land and greetings to all of our friends on social media. We hope you become a member of the family here.
Redskins football and Rich Tandler fit together like a glove. Many of us started our day reading his latest update and news about the Skins. He was our go to source for all things Washington Redskins. We will miss him. Today's look at the Panthers game will include a bit of Rich's style and format as a tribute.
Our thoughts continue to be focused on those who were in the paths of Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael. We hope areas affected can get the help and support that is needed, but understand it will take time.
Week six is in the books and now we take a look at how the entire team fared against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The questions and answers will be quick and simple once again as we pay tribute to Rich. We will try to make some sense of it all as BBQ hands out grades, evaluations, and questions. Feel free to offer your own grades, evaluations, questions, and opinions.
Upcoming Dates:
- Days until the Cowboys game: 3
- Days until the Giants game: 10
- Days until the Eagles game: 46
- Days until NFL free agency: 146
- Days until NFL draft: 189

Grade: B-
I think Chicago is the best group of all time, but the Beatles are the best of all time for this week. Our pets are family. I prefer cats, but you can't beat the love and loyalty of a good dog. For this week, dogs rule. On to game six. We'll see you next week with grades, evaluations, and questions.
Think I will take a thirty minute nap this afternoon, but it is not a nap. Just a brief period of rest.
For Rich – Beat Dallas! We'll miss you. RIP.
Hail To The Redskins!
