Bright Future? Not this year…

December 29, 2016December 12, 2009 by Mike Keys

Is there any doubt that Marko Mitchell needs to be active every game? Dude had 2 passes thrown his way on Sunday… Turned both into first downs. He has that intangible that turns an average player into a producer. He has earned his shot. Besides, what is there to loose? I’m on the official “Start Marko” bandwagon

In the desperate search for bright spots, there is Shawn Suisham… who remains perfect on field goal attempts (10, so far)… several of which have not been especially easy.

Beyond that, well, the Redskins are consistent.

You can count on B Mitch to speak his mind

Listened to the October 9 episode of “Uncensored with B Mitch” today… no matter what you think of the man, he says what’s on his mind… and there can be no doubt that he remains a Washington Redskin… the guy is a fan.

From the Darkness… some light.

Ok, I’m being melodramatic. Humor me. I’m just not quite getting warm fuzzies from this year’s version of the Redskins. I remain baffled at the rather weak offensive performances… I’m putting that away for a while, now… hopefully, I can keep that in it’s closet for the rest of the season.

They Won? Sorry… I'm Waiting for the Other Shoe…

Ok, I admit it. The homer in me is thrilled with the result today.

The Redskins got a W. The offense found a little of it’s mojo, albeit not until the second half, with both a rare Redzone touchdown, and an even rarer deep strike for a 59 yard touchdown. The defense played pretty tough, and got the plays when they needed them. They consistently got off the field on third down. Tackling was solid.

Isn’t a week a wonderful thing? All I can say is, I’m some glad the Redskins didn’t have a game scheduled last week… I have a feeling that things just would have turned out badly had they played.

Poisoning the Well?

December 29, 2016December 3, 2009 by Mike Keys

There is a growing sense of dread in Redskins Nation.

No… it has nothing to do with the growing realization that this season needs to be spoken of in the past tense.

While painful, it is not about the likely loss of one of the best LT’s to the potential of a spinal injury.

Chris Cooley will be fine… so, no, not that either.

Bruce Allen? George Allen? Memories…

All I can say is wow. Cerrato. Gone. Poof. I sure didn’t see it coming. Of course, in hind sight… there have been a number of Daniel Snyder – Bruce Allen sightings… and I think that there have been a couple of quickly dismissed rumors… We all wished… http://ourtadalafil.com/ but no one expected… for Cerrato to leave the scene.

So, there is delirium… rumors continue to swirl… it seems that most money is on Mike Shanahan to become the next HC… but, who would expect that to be announced before the end of the season?

Is this for Real?

It’s time. I’ve spent the season so far celebrating my cynicism… I mean, really, what else could I do… I’m a Redskins fan, who was in his prime during the glory seasons. I know what it is to immerse onself in a sea of victories… Yet, I have now lived through multible seasons of virtual mediocrity. I have sympathy for all those latter day fans, who have known only mediocrity. How findviagrapills sad for you all… You deserve better. So, the question is, was yesterday’s win a hint of things to come? Or just another tease?

Hognostications Week 14

Hoss will be back soon, and will update the official standings at that time. From the look of things, however, langleyparkjoe took top honors this week, with 11 wins. Nice job in a tough week for picks!

Sometimes, It Takes Magic

I’ve heard some of the whining… “You can’t win when you’re playing against the Refs, too.”

I hear ya. It is hard when you are playing 11 on 12. But, that 12th man wasn’t wearing black and white stripes… Frankly, I’m not sure exactly what Marie LaVeau is wearing these days, but she is clearly one imposing football player, when she’s got that #30 Burgundy and White voodoo doll in her hands…
She sure timed those needle jabs just right… That had to hurt. And, Madame LaVeau, what skillful manipulations were involved in working that pathetic punt over to tap poor Kevin Barnes in the shoulder as he was doing everything he could to make himself the smallest target possible? wow… excellent. more here My hat is off to you, Madame… Good game!
