The Washington Redskins travelled to play the Carolina Panthers, and pretty much just got destroyed.
Before I get started on the offense, I want to bring up the defense.

5 Keys To Beating Carolina
So the Redskins are 2.5 point underdogs to a 1-5 team? Well there’s some of that league-wide respect the Redskins have come to know. Here are five things the Redskins can and should do to improve their chances of victory against Carolina.
By The Numbers: Panthers
Numbers are numbers. That’s the beauty of them. There’s something zen about looking at numbers after a game – they remove emotion. Here are the numbers and statistics from the Redskins 33-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers: 279 – Yards passing and 22 of 37, for John Beck. They aren’t huge numbers, but they aren’t … Read more
THN Toon: Cam Newton
Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback has started his career with a bang, which has helped people forget some of the turmoil that he stirred up before he even get to the NFL.
So this week’s THN Toon is just a friendly public service announcement to help Redskins fans remember things:
Crowdsourcing: Containing Newton’s Effectiveness
Occasionally, I like ot hit the Twitterverse and just ask people for their opinions on something, and then put the answers of #RedskinsNation right here in this blog. So yesterday’s crowdsourcing question was:
What is the single biggest key to containing Cam Newton’s effectiveness on Sunday?
Game Day Preview: Panthers
On Sunday, for the first time in four years, John Beck will start an NFL game at quarterback. In the midst of the Washington Redskins critical heart-breaking 20-13 loss to NFC East rivals the Philadelphia Eagles, Coach Mike Shanahan called on Beck to supplant a floundering Rex Grossman after his fourth interception of the afternoon. … Read more
What’s Really Wrong With Washington Redskins’ Offense?
Okay, so by the numbers, the Redskins offense overall ranks 17th in the 3 major categories (yards per game, pass yards per game, and rush yards per game). They rank 22nd in the league in yards per play. They’re tied for 19th in yards per carry, and 12th in attempts per game. They’re tied for 25th in plays from scrimmage with 327, of which 180 are passing attempts. That’s 55%, which is respectable.
But let’s break down into more numbers. On first down, the Washington Redskins (with Rex Grossman) have attempted 67 passes. Ryan Torain has run on 15 first downs, Hightower 38 times, and Roy Helu 15 times. That’s 68 attempts on the ground vs. 67 attempts through the air.

That Was Gross Man
Teams win and lose… as teams. No one individual is ever single-handedly responsible for the fate of an NFL franchise. Repeat that over and over to yourself about Sunday’s performance from Rex Grossman, and maybe you’ll believe it. The fact of it is, when you put up four interceptions, and almost nothing of note on … Read more
Eagles Trying to Tackle Injuries
Word is that King Dunlap may not be able to play on Sunday, and that could become the Achilles heel for the Philadelphia Eagles. Dunlap was expected to play in place of starter Jason Peters, who was officially ruled out of this week’s action.
Not only do the Eagles have to go three deep at left tackle if King can’t go, but the only other option they have, is to play Todd Herremans at left tackle. At first glance, that wouldn’t appear earth-shattering as Herremans is listed as the right tackle, but what a depth chart won’t tell you is that he was already playing out of position. Herremans is naturally a guard.
