Hognostications: Week 15

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

Hognostications: Week 14

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

Hognostications: Week 13

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

Hognostications: Week 12

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

Hognostications: Week 11

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

Hognostications: Week 10

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

Hognostications: Week 9

What a long week to belong to the Redskin Nation. That was an embarrassing loss that can only be erased with a win this week against Philthy. Besides the home team let- down, Denver and St. Louis continue to impress, while it’s the same ole same ole for the Vikes, Pack, Lions, Browns and Titans. … Read more

Hognostications: Week 8

Thank you, Seahawks for making the Skins nation’s weekend complete. Talk about pressure on a deadline and not much time to research. The Hognosticator is on his way out the door with a wife in labor to deliver his first child, a son sure to bleed burgundy and gold. So forgive the short picks and … Read more

Hognostications: Week 7

Now that’s more like it! If only Roethlisberger had started. I should have picked the Denver ground game over the New England passing attack in Denver. Week 7 promises to be a much tougher week, the Colts being the only ‘lock’, followed by, dare I say (forgive me Coach Gibbs) the Skins? Pittsburgh at Cincinnati … Read more

Hognostications: Week 6

Week five – Ouch! Week five made the Hognosticator look like an SI expert. In hindsight the bad picks were Miami at Buffalo, Baltimore at Detroit and Houston hosting Tennessee. Baltimore and Houston are just plain terrible. Also, a Redskin fan should know not to pick against Vinny Testaverde. Obviously, knowledge of Michael Vick’s absence … Read more
