Frank Hastings Someone pinch me; I must be dreaming. It’s mid-January and the Redskins are a win away from the Conference Championship. I have to admit, this team has far surpassed my expectations going into this season. I had thought it would take Gibbs until his third season to create a bona fide playoff contender, yet here … Read more
It’s time for Daniel Snyder to get his props not only for coaxing a Hall of Fame coach with nothing to prove out of retirement, but for now retaining Coach Williams with a record-breaking contract. What a pleasure to see some continuity on our sideline – hopefully for years to come. Way to go Mr. … Read more
The trouncing of the G-men was a wonderful Christmas present. What a great season this has turned out to be. Happy New Year to all. Here’s hoping we start if off with an injury free victory over Philthy. One more for five in a row and a well deserved and long awaited playoff birth! Denver … Read more
Never have I been more proud to be a die-hard Redskin fan. The sweep of Dallas this season and the fashion in which it was done, is something I will never forget. Stealing an upset win on the night of the ‘big’ three toilet ring induction and then trouncing the Pukes in mid-December with playoff … Read more
This is a very tough week to Hognosticate as some teams jockey for playoff position, while others play meaningless games looking for motivation. Tampa Bay at New England Brady’s nicked, the Buc defense is playing great and the weather won’t be a factor. How ‘bout the year Galloway is having with the likes of Sims … Read more
Things are really starting to get interesting for the Redskin faithful. Will the offensive line finally start to gel and get their wish of dictating to defensive fronts, rushing early and often? Wouldn’t it be nice for this team to find that so often talked about identity of a rushing powerhouse offense and dominate the … Read more
If last week’s game proved anything, it was that generalizations on what needs to improve, and happen or not happen in analyzing NFL games, seldom works. The Redskins did everything asked of them to win. They avoided the turnovers that have plagued them throughout the season. They protected Brunell and even generated a pass rush … Read more
This Redskin team has the Hognosticator so emotionally distraught, he’s forgetting to submit all of the picks. For the record, last week’s overlooked picks were KC and Green Bay. After getting beat at home last week by a bad team and a bad coach, now we get to look forward to a good coach with … Read more
What an emotional roller coaster this season is turning out to be. As hard as I try to keep this ‘game’ we so enjoy in perspective, I have to admit that games like last Sunday’s leave me in a funk that can only be cured by either time or a victory over a competitive opponent. … Read more
Now that’s more like it! What a great, long-awaited win against Philthy, with or without TO. It serves me right to miss only that game. I should have picked with my heart and had more faith in Coach Gibbs and his staff to have our guys focused and confident after the New York debacle. It … Read more
