March 30, 2009 by Mark Solway

We have a lot of content here at theHogs.net and as we have been putting it out for so long – sometimes things get lost. We thought that it might be fun to re-visit some things every now and again during the dog days of the offseason. We can look back at some of our … Read more

Blow it Up

September 18, 2009February 2, 2009 by 1niksder

If the Redskins are going to as they say “blow it up” then they should blow it up the right way.

The Redskins have a number of holds to fill but “Blowing it Up” won’t create that many more, with no option to push money forward as dead cap money and hurt future teams ability to upgrade. Dumping salary just to throw it at another player that’s only going to be around for a few years would be a waste of time. Finding lower level free agents that will contribute their first year at a reasonable cost is what is needed over the next few years.

Relative Quarterback Ratings: Honolulu Hughes to Jason Campbell

December 30, 2008December 30, 2008 by Steve Spurrier III

While trying to distract myself from the fact that a Gus Frerotte vs. Norv Turner Super Bowl is still a possibility, I took a look at Sammy Baugh’s statistics. I was surprised to see his rookie season quarterback rating: 50.5, an incredibly low number by today’s standards. Even Heath Shuler (sorry, Congressman Heath Shuler) never posted a mark that low when he wore the burgundy and gold. Yet Baugh’s 1937 campaign was not only good enough to guide the Redskins to their first NFL Championship, but it was also good enough to lead the league in quarterback rating. 71 years ago, the league average quarterback rating was just 34.4.

The D.C. Gossip

December 10, 2008 by Bobby Johnson

Oh how we love our drama here in D.C.! I never watched the Gossip Girl, but here’s how I think the Redskins would be described if you asked a teenage girl. Seems fitting because it’s not far off from how the regular media is reporting it! Okay, so did you hear that Jimmy called … Read more

By the Numbers: The NFC Playoff Picture (updated)

May 3, 2025November 30, 2008 by 1niksder

Here’s an update to last week’s HogWire which looked at what would happen if the NFL playoffs had started last week:

#1 Last week the Detroit Lions were the only NFC team not in the hunt for one of the six annual post season spots, this week they are still the only team not in the hunt, although the Philadelphia Eagles are doing their best to join them. The Eagles 36-7 lost to the Ravens on Sunday dropped them to 5-5-1 and behind every team in contention for a playoff berth with the exception of the Green Bay Packers who fell to 5-6 after giving up 51 points to the Saints.

Hognostications Week 12

May 3, 2025November 23, 2008 by Hoss

Congrats to RiC for winning last week’s hognostications with a record of 11-5. It’s starting to get very crowded at the top and it’s still anyone’s to win. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we have the true experts here in hognostication land. After 116 games we have several with a 68% record … Read more

Early Play-Off Look For Redskins

November 20, 2008 by Scott Hurrey

Its definitely too early to really make play-off predictions, but Steve Wyche did so any way. There’s no real surprise information here. Obviously, he has the Giants, Panthers and Cardinals as locks, since all three of these teams are the class of their division, at least as it presently looks in the standings. He also lists Tampa Bay as being “In good standing.” Again, no surprise. They are 7-3 and playing pretty good football.
