1. One Crow Sandwich Over Here OK, I was a bit out of line in declaring victory against the Eagles last week. The Eagles eventually took over the hard-fought contest. Still, The Skins had their opportunities and showed real flashes of becoming a contender. Until those flashes can be put together, we’re still pretenders. I’ll … Read more
1. Are we there yet? Coach Gibbs is driving the bus, and Redskin Fans are wondering how long it will take to get where we’re going. Frankly, I’m as thrilled today, as I was the day I found out that Joe Gibbs had agreed to return to DC. His biggest concerns are for the fans, … Read more
1. Thumper’s Mama Remember Thumper? Thumper’s Mama told him, ” if you can’t say nothing nice, don’t say nothin’ at all. I enacted Thumper’s Mama’s Rule for all comments related to Mark Brunell. I hear he can burp his own name to the tune of the ABC’s. He’s the third bestest QB on our team! … Read more
1. So Close When Clinton Portis ran into the endzone, I was rounding the sofa with both hands in the air. I was yelling something, mostly for the sake of yelling. My dog was jumping up and down, then she turned suddenly toward the TV. What do you mean, “a flag.” The penalty was correct, … Read more
1. Feeling Smooty Good Watching Fred Smoot play Sunday was an inspiration. Smoot was in obvious pain with a damaged right shoulder. It didn’t keep him from throwing that shoulder into Bear ball carriers. Each time, he would get up and get ready to go play again. The whole team began to feel a little … Read more
1. Defense Falling Down on the Job The Skins defense isn’t getting the job done. Oh sure, they’re hitting people, defending the pass, slowing the run and holding offenses to FG’s and FG attempts… but that’s just not enough. The Skins D needs to score 16 points a game in order for the Skins to … Read more
1. Is My Slip Showing? The NFL is on the verge of the dawning of a new day, Flag Football. In addition to an absurd number of irrelevant flags, with no effect on a given play, the NFL officials are interpreting any contact between any defender and any QB as illegal. In the case of … Read more
1. Save a Horse, Ride a Zebra The Cowboys didn’t need to ride their horses in DC, they rode the NFL’s finest zebras. The score, Redskins 18, Zebras 14, Cowboys 7. This may sound like sour grapes to some – you better believe it! The referees decided the game on Monday Night. A pathetically inept … Read more
1. Hexed There is simply an unusual air in Giants Stadium. Until Sunday, I didn’t even know that I had Smell-A-Vision… but I’m certain I smelled something. (Especially when Chris Collinsworth openned his mouth – don’t wanna know where he’s been nor what he’s put in his mouth). The Skins turned the ball over EIGHT … Read more
1. D – Lightful The Redskins Defense won the game against the Bucs on Sunday. D-line: applied pressure, sacks and batted balls to the turf. D-linebackers: blitzed, defended passes and overall stumped the Bucs. D-db’s did the rest. Top to bottom, the Skins defensive unit – including Gregg Williams and crew – busted the Bucs. … Read more
