Mark Solway The Washington Redskins will play their seventh game of the 2011 season on the road against the Buffalo Bills, but they won’t be playing in Buffalo, they will be playing in Toronto, Canada.

Here’s a quick look at what’s going on at Redskins Park today:
Kareem Moore practiced…
… his 6 weeks on the PUP list are up, and while the Redskins didn’t make a roster move to bring him off the PUP list, Coach Mike Shanahan did say that Moore could be activated very soon. Washington actually has 21 days to integrate him back into the 53-man roster, but given the injury concerns to Oshiomoho Atogwe, Moore will definitely be on the fast track.
Yesterday, the Redskins surprisingly announced that they had put Chris Cooley on the injured reserve list. I say surprising only because when the veteran tight end broke his finger last week – there was no talk of it being the end to his season.
The decision is likely due to Cooley’s multiple injuries and not just his latest, a mangled finger. Captain Chaos has been nursing a knee injury all year, and while he was playing through the injury, he never seemed to get all the way back to firing on all cylinders. Regardless of the reasons behind the decision to put Cooley on IR, he’s there, and speculation begins to mount as to whether or not he will ever see the field as a Washington Redskin again.

Here are the numbers and statistics from the Redskins 33-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers: 279 – Yards passing and 22 of 37, for John Beck. They aren’t huge numbers, but they aren’t … Read more
Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback has started his career with a bang, which has helped people forget some of the turmoil that he stirred up before he even get to the NFL.
So this week’s THN Toon is just a friendly public service announcement to help Redskins fans remember things:
Occasionally, I like ot hit the Twitterverse and just ask people for their opinions on something, and then put the answers of #RedskinsNation right here in this blog. So yesterday’s crowdsourcing question was:
What is the single biggest key to containing Cam Newton’s effectiveness on Sunday?
On Sunday, for the first time in four years, John Beck will start an NFL game at quarterback. In the midst of the Washington Redskins critical heart-breaking 20-13 loss to NFC East rivals the Philadelphia Eagles, Coach Mike Shanahan called on Beck to supplant a floundering Rex Grossman after his fourth interception of the afternoon. … Read more
Teams win and lose… as teams. No one individual is ever single-handedly responsible for the fate of an NFL franchise. Repeat that over and over to yourself about Sunday’s performance from Rex Grossman, and maybe you’ll believe it. The fact of it is, when you put up four interceptions, and almost nothing of note on … Read more
