Crowdsourcing: Stopping The Rams

June 1, 2025September 29, 2011 by Mark Solway

This type of blog seemed to go over well last time, so I’m going to keep doing it. I send out a tweet for some crowdsourced information, and I put the #RedskinsNation’s thoughts into a blog.

Here’s this week’s topic…

Debunking The Myth

Ryan O’Halloran wrote a great piece today about the alleged “cheating” and “snap count mimicking” in the Cowboys game.

By The Numbers: Cowboys

May 3, 2025September 28, 2011 by Mark Solway

Here is a look at some of the more notable numbers and statistics in the Washington Redskins’ crushing 18-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys: 255 – Yards passing for Tony Romo. Given his ‘unbearable, unplayable’ injury, he’s obviously the second coming of Jesus Christ. See next bullet. 250 – Yards passing for Rex Grossman. Not … Read more

Six Pack: Cowboys

September 27, 2011 by Mark Solway

Time to dig up an old format of article that THN has been doing since, ohhhh, about 2002. It’s called the Six Pack – just some observations, mixed with maybe some humor, and you guessed it – there’s SIX talking points. Here’s this week’s six pack:

We want Dallas! We Want Dallas! We want Dallas!

To honor one of the toughest ladies to ever play in the NFL, here’s this week’s Toon:

New Feature Coming This Afternoon!

September 23, 2011 by Mark Solway

At THN, we’re always trying to do things a little differently, or at least with a touch of our own flavor. So I had an idea a few weeks ago, that I set into motion and will launch today. We’re going to do a cross blog promotion with some new friends and old.

Gone are the days where people would never even dream of mentioning other people’s websites or blogs; it’s a big world out there, and you can reach a lot more people when you help each other, not stifle each other. So I reached out to a few people to see if they would be interested in doing something together, and to my delight, everybody I asked was into it.

Game Day Preview: Redskins vs. Cowboys

The Washington Redskins head to Dallas this week, as one of the greatest rivalries in sports will see yet another chapter told, on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys will be looking to build off of their come-from-behind 27-24 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers last week; while the surging Redskins will be looking to … Read more

Ooh, Ooh… That Smell

September 21, 2011 by Mark Solway

Can’t you smell that smell? Ooh, ooh that smell. Familiar with the tune? Well if you’re singing it, stop right there because Lynyrd Skynyrd goes on to talk about that smell being the smell of death, and in Redskins Nation right now, that isn’t the smell we’re smelling. At least it shouldn’t be.

I get that as Redskins fans we have been beat up for years – decades even. I understand as well as anyone that a losing attitude affects all elements of an NFL organization, up to and including it’s fan base; but if you stop for just a second and pay attention…

By The Numbers: Cardinals

May 3, 2025September 19, 2011 by Mark Solway

The Washington Redskins narrowly defeated the Arizona Cardinals 22-21 on Sunday. It may not have been the prettiest win ever, but teams don’t get any less credit for an ugly win than they do for a spotless one. Here is a look at some of the interesting stats and numbers from this week’s game. 455 … Read more
