Ooh, Ooh… That Smell

September 21, 2011 by Mark Solway

Can’t you smell that smell? Ooh, ooh that smell. Familiar with the tune? Well if you’re singing it, stop right there because Lynyrd Skynyrd goes on to talk about that smell being the smell of death, and in Redskins Nation right now, that isn’t the smell we’re smelling. At least it shouldn’t be.

I get that as Redskins fans we have been beat up for years – decades even. I understand as well as anyone that a losing attitude affects all elements of an NFL organization, up to and including it’s fan base; but if you stop for just a second and pay attention…

By The Numbers: Cardinals

May 3, 2025September 19, 2011 by Mark Solway

The Washington Redskins narrowly defeated the Arizona Cardinals 22-21 on Sunday. It may not have been the prettiest win ever, but teams don’t get any less credit for an ugly win than they do for a spotless one. Here is a look at some of the interesting stats and numbers from this week’s game. 455 … Read more

Redskins move to 2-0 with one-point win over Cards

May 26, 2016September 19, 2011 by Jake Russell

Led by an aggressive defensive showing and a time-consuming running attack, the Redskins were able to notch their second NFC victory with a 22-21 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The offense was able to dictate the tempo of the game thanks to the duo of Tim Hightower and rookie Roy Helu, who … Read more

Crowdsourcing: Beating The Cards

June 1, 2025September 17, 2011 by Mark Solway

With the ever growing collective consciousness in Redskins Nation, I thought it might be fun to do something new, and ask the twitterverse for their thoughts on what was the key to beating the Cardinals this week, and then blog some of the answers.

They were charged with the task of naming one thing, and one thing only, that would be integral for Redskins success on Sunday.

Here are some of the responses:

In ‘Giant’ Win, Redskins Show Progress With Youth

May 26, 2016September 15, 2011 by Jake Russell

It was a season opener unlike most that fans of the burgundy and gold have experienced in recent memory. For the second year in a row, the Redskins opened up the season with a divisional win at FedEx Field, this time with a convincing 28-14 victory over the New York Giants. Coach Mike Shanahan and … Read more

Who’s Laughin’ Now?

September 14, 2011 by Bobby Johnson

For those who read my last blog about Grossman (Redskins Start With Grossman) you’ll note I kind of predicted this last weekend’s performance.

For the game, Grossman was 21 of 34 (62% completion) for 305 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions (though one was close) and one fumble. While Antrel Rolle may whine about how the Giants would beat the Redskins “95 out of 100 times” Rolle has failed to recognize that we didn’t beat New York because our offense was better; we beat them because our defense was.

Congratulations to week one Hognostication winner Chris Luva Luva with a very impressive 12-4 start to the season! This score is tough enough to achieve midyear but to pull this off in the first week is outstanding!!
Thanks to everyone who participated last week. With only a five point swing from first to last, this could be a very competitive year.

There was never in the past where the players have said, No, we are going to come in and work; we are not going to take the day off,’” said tight end Chris Cooley. The Washington Redskins’ 28-14 season-opening victory over the New York Giants was all the team needed to enjoy what is known … Read more
