Congratulations go out to our back-to-back winner emoses14 with a hognostication of 12-4 for week 2. TincoSkin, VetSkinsFan, jeremyroyce and DesertSkin all came out with a respectable score of 11-5. Well done guys! This past week had many surprises and it just goes to show that on any given Sunday any team in the NFL could win.
Washington Redskins
The Zorn Identity
I wish I could say I knew what Jim Zorn was doing. I wish I could tell you that I see some sort of wonderful master-plan being hatched in the background; but I can’t.
Jim has lost me entirely.
Now before you get to thinking that I think Zorn is a complete idiot; he is not. However there were some things that happened this weekend that have me really worried about his coaching and leadership ability.
A Horse Walks into a Bar…
The Bartender asks; “Why the long face?”
How many of you realize that the Redskins actually won the game yesterday? Show of hands?
No seriously, they did.
Yes…they did. I wouldn’t lie to you, they won.
Yes, I know they only scored nine points, but nine is greater than seven.
Oh sure, they naysayers are saying “same old Redskins; only scored nine points. That won’t be enough to beat our tougher opponents.”

HogWire’s Injury Report Week Two
The St. Louis Rams versus the Washington Redskins
Offensive Tackle Chris Samuels and Defensive Tackle Anthony Montgomery were both limited in practice this week and both were dealing with knee problems. The Washington Redskins have said they have to manage Samuels’s knee throughout the season, because Chris had knee surgery in the offseason and experienced some minor knee problems in the preseason. Coach Jim Zorn said Anthony Montgomery “has a little roughness on his knee”, and is limited in practice because of patellar tendinitis.
Dealing with Negativity
In my time on the message boards, I have noticed a trend that is kind of amusing.
There are some “fans” that live to be negative. They can’t say anything good about the team no matter what happens.
Hognostications Week 2
Week 1 is in the books and congratulations to emoses for leading the charge with a 14-2 record! His two losses were Redskins and Cincinnati. Well done my man. Following close behind are Fios and Tincoskin at 13-3, and a five way tie for fourth place at 12-4 is RiC, Mursalis, Deadskins, Cappster and Sir_monk.
