Ever heard the phrase, “The train has left the station?” It is an idiom that means a process is already under way, and there is no point in resisting it. Further to that, it means the time for making objections has passed, and that cooperation in the process is the only option. How fitting is … Read more

This will be the final week before we crown our 2011 Hognostication Champion. It is still any one’s to win! Good luck my friends.
Rant, that is…
A’ight… Haven’t the last 5 years been torment enough?
There were some wacky numbers and statistics from the Washington Redskins’ wacky, unpredictable 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Here are some of the most telling: 397 – All-purpose yards for the Redskins, to the Vikings 389 yards – pretty much a stone cold draw. 284 – Yards passing for Rex Grossman on a 26 … Read more
I was both impressed and amused by Deangelo Hall’s new found fiestiness… in an “Awwww, come on, dude” kind of way… Here’s this little guy, never known for his physicality, talkin’ “AH MA GONNA TAKE’EMOUT” smack with Tony Romo on Dallas Week.
Deangelo: “Absolutely. I want to get a chance to put my helmet on whatever’s hurt,” Hall said. “Romo’s ribs—I’m going to be asking for some corner blitzes. If I know Felix Jones’(notes) shoulder’s hurt, I’m not going to cut him. I’m definitely going to try to hit him up high, so that’s just part of it.
“If you know something’s wrong with an opponent, you’re going to try to target in on that. We’re going to try to definitely get as many hats on that team as possible.”
Does it get any better?
Congratulations to our week 15 winner, andyjens89, with a very impressive 12-4 record. Rounding out the top three were: Hoss at 11-5 and tribeofjudah at 10-6. Good job fellas on a tough hognosticating week!!
The Colts are notorious as “non-performers” through pre-season. That is a given. They view preseason as an opportunity to evaluate personnel, and to get into game shape. Yet, you can’t help but wonder if there isn’t a bit of concern in Indy this morning.
We swept the Giants this year, with a very solid game against the Giants yesterday, following up on a very good performance in a shootout against one of the best teams/offenses in the league in New England. That was following a decent performance through 50 minutes against the Jets with Rex having a very off day. And that’s following a very good win against a young Seahawks team who just seems to give everyone fits.
Rex Grossman’s play has been up and down, as expected, and he still makes way too many mistakes, and some of them crucial. But under Rex Grossman, this offense seems to take a little flight. It’s true that receivers like the ability to go deep and not have to get smacked around in the middle after a 5-yard slant. It’s also true it opens up those 5-yard slants to keep defenses honest to the threat. Rex Grossman gives us a chance to be a lethal offense… but that’s it… a chance.
The Skins dominated possession. It was a good win, one that, in prior seasons, would have been a loss… but, there was good and bad to be gleaned from yesterday’s victory over the Cards.
That’s it. The only question was, why did Shanahan take so long?
The Eagles had sold out. All effort was placed on stopping the run. They had committed to forcing Grossman to beat them with his arm.
