Congratulations to our week 10 winner, DarthMonk, with an impressive 10-6 record after a very tough week! Rounding out the top 5 were: Redskin in Canada, vwoodzpusha, MDSKINSFAN and BigRedskinDaddy all with the same 9-7 record. Good job fellas!!
Keep an eye on the standings for there have been many changes, but it is still any one’s to win.
Okay, it’s finally time I present this long-winded rant about the Redskins. Just a quick disclaimer, there may be some foul language, I may target some people, and this is not going to be a rant all about the team or coaches… “fans” are as open a target as any.
When the Redskins were riding high atop the NFC East with a 3-1 record, a large portion of that success was due to the health of their roster. Now on a five game slide, Washington has sent six players to injured reserve in the last month, with the latest coming as casualties of a 20-9 … Read more
Well, as some of you may have seen, I tweeted in the early hours of Sunday morning that the Dolphins wouldn’t care for the QB controversy that the Shanahan’s created because it wouldn’t matter in terms of their preparation overall. If they could score first, they could play pass defense the rest of the game, and they would win. Well, that proved to be the case.
https://twitter.com/#!/Sean_Bishop/status/135609960007602176 I’ll break down the game in depth tomorrow, and then I’ll be on a rant this week… just figured I’d share that with you all because people didn’t seem to believe I made that call when I brought it up during the game. As always, you can follow me on Twitter @Sean_Bishop.
Here are some last minute game notes that you will find valuable for to today’s line-up:
Last night’s Tailgate Show with Brian Mitchell is now archived at bmitchlive.com. Check it out there, or watch it in the embedded viewer below.
Redskins fans feel like they’re watching a movie they’ve seen a hundred times before: the team starts off promising (to fans, if no longer to the media) and then doesn’t live up to even our modest expectations. Or, they do meet our modest expectations, but in a way that makes us expect more along the way.
Now they sit at 3-5, once again looking up from the bottom of the NFC East. For fans of a team that’s only finished above .500 twice in the last 10 seasons (the team’s only two playoff appearances in that span), the script looks very familiar, indeed.
Most reasonable fans I know thought they would finish about 8-8, give or take a game, but now even that record seems out of reach. Message boards and Twitter feeds are full of much teeth gnashing and plenty of suggestions of which of the many problems are the most to blame.
But I don’t want to talk about any of that today. For now, I want to talk about progress. What does progress look like in an NFL team? How can we, as fans, have any clue whether we’re going in the right direction?
The Miami Dolphins and the Washington Redskins square off this week at Sun Life Stadium, both coming off of completely different past game appearances. The Redskins continue to struggle and had another dismal offensive showing in their 19-11 loss to the 49ers. The Dolphins on the other hand, have two fewer wins than the Redskins, … Read more
Even though Coach Mike Shanahan is reluctant to admit that the Redskins are in a rebuilding phase, it is exactly the path he is leading the team right now. It was apparent back in March when Andre Carter, Derrick Dockery and Clinton Portis were released for various reasons. In April, the youth movement continued as … Read more
