Obsession.

From another Blog…\x94I heard Brandon Lloyd on his show this evening saying that they want our support. They want us to believe and that’s not what he’s feeling from us. When you point that finger, just remember that more then some buddies on a message board are reading your venting and if you care about … Read more

Something Is Missing!

Something is Missing I know some will read the title and assume that this blog is going to be about complaining about the offensive line, Mark Brunell, the D, play calling or all of the aforementioned topics. Well think again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m disappointed that we lost yesterday. Dallas is a big game. … Read more

FFAs Game Notes: Cowboys

Ouch. Notable Stats 3rd Down Efficiency Cowboys – 6/16 Redskins – 2/14 While not as efficient as the Vikings last week, consider the following statistic: the Cowboys had 5 third down conversions on scoring drives.

The Doctor Is In

I’ve been paying close attention to the boards this week following the loss to the Vikings. At first I noticed, as I’m sure most of you did, many threads and posts early in the week displayed disbelief, denial, and anger. Lately, as we inch closer to the Dallas game, I’m noticing a more positive attitude … Read more

I want to make a quick distinction. Being pessimistic does not make you pragmatic, it does not lend you some special or unique insight and it does not make you the sighted man in the land of the slavish and blind. Too much of the recent fan response to the Redskins first game seems to … Read more
