Season Standings after Week 8:
Last week, prior to John Beck’s proclamation in his impromptu media session, I made it a point to remark that Leonard Hankerson may not have been to blame for the INT late in the game. I said it looked as though he made a read on the corner who bit down, and Beck threw it to where Hankerson would have been had he just contested Gamble for the catch instead of trying to make a play by getting open downfield. John Beck confirmed that, and whether he was just being the pro and leader and taking the bullet for his guy or not, is left to nothing but speculation.
In honor of the game being played on Canadian soil this week, I offer you a special commemorative wallpaper.
Yeah I cheesed out and only did a 1280×768, so sue me.

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.
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:
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.
