Here are some of the more interesting numbers and stats from the Washington Redskins 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday: 196 – Yards passing for Jason Campbell, going 15 of 22.

Crossing A Line?

June 1, 2025November 5, 2009 by Mark Solway

John Riggins has been at it for weeks with some serious venom cast in the direction of the Washington Redskins organization. Though sometimes radical, the brash Redskins legend often says a few things that ring true for many Redskin fans. But did his latest rant cross a boundary? Check out Dan Steinberg’s recap at D.C. Sports Bog, if you haven’t already seen or heard Riggins latest comments.

What’s Good?

So it’s a bye week, and for Redskin fans, that seems to mean a whole lot of people walking around with their heads down. Who can blame them? It’s been a tough first seven games.

Since the bye week is almost at the half-way point, I thought I’d take a look at the things that were ‘good’ for the Redskins in the first half of 2009.

Pro Bowl Voting Now Open

October 31, 2009 by Mark Solway

Calling all Redskin fans… the 2009 Pro Bowl voting is now open.

While it might be hard to think about the Pro Bowl in the middle of a dismal season, we as Redskin fans must unify and make sure that London Fletcher is selected this year.

Bang’s Cartoon: Flawed Execution

June 1, 2025October 29, 2009 by Mark Solway

There aren’t many Redskin fans that aren’t familiar with John Tayman, aka Bang, and his cartoons. Unfortunately for Redskin fans, John spreads his particular brand of cartoon ‘love’ around to all NFL teams now, but his latest episode is definitely a must-see for Redskin fans.

Big Al As Advertised

October 29, 2009 by Mark Solway

As Redskin fans try to come together and unify, presumably so that they can commiserate with others, I thought I’d blog about one of the few bright spots of 2009 – Albert Haynesworth.

Land of the Free?

June 1, 2025October 28, 2009 by Mark Solway

As news spreads around the internet, about the propagandist Redskin organization confiscating all forms of ‘Anti-Snyder paraphernalia,’ I wonder to myself again, if there is any limit to which this franchise will not sink to.

Game Recap: Eagles 27, Redskins 17

June 2, 2025October 27, 2009 by Mark Solway

It Was Over When:
DeSean Jackson ran the game’s fourth play from scrimmage in for a touchdown. Could a game really be over that early? It seemed to be – the Redskins never really did get all the way back. The game was just two minutes old and yet the wind had been completely sucked from the Redskins’ (and their fans) sails.

By The Numbers: Eagles

May 3, 2025October 27, 2009 by Mark Solway

Here is a look at the numbers from the Washington Redskins 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night: 308 – Total yards for the Redskins, 46 more than Philadelphia’s 262. Considering the Eagles’ dominance on the scoreboard, it’s a stat that almost always means that there is a big turnover number involved somewhere. … Read more

Caps Steal One In Overtime

June 1, 2025October 25, 2009 by Mark Solway

It Was Over When:
Mike Green decided that it was – see the goal notes on the overtime winner by Brooks Laich.

THN Turning Point:
Green’s goal in the third period – it gave the Capitals life, and seemed to subsequently put the Islanders back on their heels.
