30-27.
That’s how you spell heartbreak. There’s hand wringing aplenty in Redskins Nation this day… though, for the life of me, I can’t really understand why.

Posted from Curmudgeon Corner, Maine Fans are cranky, these days. With the optimism that has come with the new management team, has also come “Mr Petulant”… Albert Haynesworth. Hey, Al… you blew it. You have taken an outstanding opportunity and screwed it up… Totally. You have become the poster child for “How not to manage … Read more
Redskins Preseason Impressions… vs Buffalo
The muffed kickoff did nothing to tarnish the first impression… the first drive ended in a punt from the 34, but the aura was undiminished… from that point on, our 1st and 2nd team offense, defense, even special teams exuded it…
Competence.
Joe Bugel… we will miss you!
Well, of course, there are mixed feelings. Joe Bugel was the architect of (arguably) the most dominant offensive line in football history. The Hogs were masters of the trenches for over a decade. The Hogs WERE Joe Bugel.

As is typically the case, the Redskins are off to a fast start in the offseason championships. Heck, the regular season wasn’t even officially over, and we already had a 4 game lead over the competition after the hiring of Bruce Allen.
Devin Thomas Scrubbed from the Roster
You could see it coming, but, honestly, I was still taken by surprise when the Redskins cut Devin Thomas. The conventional wisdom is, it takes about 2 seasons for most new pro WR’s to reach their “full potential effectiveness” (who knows what that really means?)… It’s, obviously, not all about talent, as that only provides your starting point.

You know what they say about opinions…
I have no idea what the next few weeks may hold… but I suspect that there is some fun afoot.
My plan?
Re-sign Campbell. Work on building an OL for the future. If a QB falls to us, fine. But, what the heck… nobody listens to me since my dog died.

I’m worried. I’m uncharacteristically optimistic. That frightens me, a bit.
Yesterday evening, the Eagles and Redskins finalized a deal, sending future Hall of Fame quarterback, Donovan McNabb to the Redskins in exchange for the 37th pick this year, and the Redskins’ 4 round pick next year (3rd round of certain performance measures are reached by McNabb).
Rule Tinkering… Bad for Football
This is NOT about the Redskins loss to the Detroit Lions… they did not deserve to win that game… while there were bad calls that influenced the outcome, a good team does not let the game fall into the hands of the officials to begin with. It’s probably happened for much of the league’s history, … Read more
