Recurring columns and weekly editorial series from the Redskins era.
The Redskins came into this week looking to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They were also looking to end the string of losses the team has experienced at the hands of the Cowboys and that Coach Gibbs has suffered at the hands of Bill Parcells. Alas, both will have to wait until next season … Read more
1. A Weak “W” In years past, Redskin Fans have been treated to watching the defeat of our beloved team by a hapless bunch of chumps like the 49’ers. This year, we have the pleasure of complaining that we didn’t win by a wide enough margin… or is it just me? The 49’ers have a … Read more
Well it’s certainly different to have to grade a performance after a decisive victory. While it was ‘only’ the now 2-12 49ers, the Redskins handed them a fairly decisive 26-16 defeat and continued their overall improvement for the season. It wasn’t pretty at times, but the victory was never really in doubt. Here’s how the … Read more
With this being the last home game before the holidays, this week theHogs.net got into the spirit of the season.

1. Score Revised REDSKINS 13, EAGLES 10, ZEBRAS 7 If I wanted to watch a sexually confused zebra, I’d try to merge Queer Eye for the Straight Guy with the National Geographic Channel. Another bogus Pass Interference call gave the opposing team points – points that they were not going to have otherwise. Not enough … Read more
This one will simply remembered as the one that got away. The Redskins put up a valiant effort, but it wasn’t enough to upset the Philadelphia Eagles in an epic battle. In what can only be described as a nasty affair, Washington came out on the losing end of a 17-14 result. Passing: Unfortunately the … Read more
‘Tis the season for family and friends, Santa Claus and Christmas wishes. For many others, it is the time for running up credit card bills for presents that will occupy a landfill near you by springtime. It also means spending time with people that you don’t see all year (by choice in many cases) and … Read more
What a great day it was to be a Redskins season ticket holder… the weather was fantastic, the company at the tailgate was better, and the Redskins won! This week the-hogs.net were honored to host three of our Canadian Brothers (Hill66 and his two buddies) a.k.a the McKenzie Brothers. They made the drive all the … Read more
1. Spanking the G-Stringers At the opening kick-off, the Giants had all the momentum. It took the Redskins defense exactly three plays to get the ball back. The G-Stringers managed to drive the ball one yard – backwards. Thus the tone was set for the entire day. Ramsey was mistake-free, Portis ran harder than he’d … Read more
1. Special Ed Not since the days of LeCharles McDaniel has the Redskins McSpecial Teams, LeStunk so badly as it did against the Steelers. Punt returns cost the Skins 10 points, indirectly, with outstanding field position. The Steelers Antwan Randle- El is a super player with great skills. At some point during the week, it … Read more
