Each week, we take a peak at some of the ‘numbers’ that might have contributed to the past game’s outcome. Here are this week’s numbers from the Redskins 25-17 win over the Detroit Lions:
Washington Redskins
The Redskins’ Anti-Discrimination Fan Policy in Action
You have to admit, the Redskins have a little something for everyone. It’s like a buffet at your local Chinese food place.
You’re an optimist? Great, come on in and grab a cupcake (with happy face frosting on top!). We’ve got a 6-2 record at the mid-way point of the season – good for second place in the best division in football, Clinton Portis is tearing up defenses, Jason Campbell hasn’t thrown a pick yet, our defense is ranked 6th in the league, and apparently we picked up another star wide receiver named ‘Santonio’.
Pessimism is more your style? Swing by and grab a drink from our half-empty glass. Despite our record, we’ve barely squeeked by two teams that we should have crushed, and lost to a winless team – at home, no less. Our defense is riddled with injuries, our draft picks are invisible, and our defensive line push is more futile than that of a constipated old guy on the toilet.
The Redskins are truly an equal opportunity team when it comes to fans, trying to offer something to everyone, to please all types. Hopefully, when this season draws to a close in whatever fashion it’s fated for, that balance between fodder for the optimists and pessimists will still hold true:
‘I know we just won the Superbowl, but did you see how crappy the defense played?’
That which we call drivel by any other name, would still be as random and incoherent….
Skins vs. Lions Recap Links
The Washington Redskins moved to 6-2 with their win over the Detroit lions on Sunday – here is a quick list of where you can find out everything you wanted to know about Sunday’s win…
Get On Your Horse
Back on September 14th, I blogged about the Redskins need to put the ball into the hands of their most lethal offensive weapon, Clinton Portis. Needless to say, the Redskins don’t listen to me, but Coach Zorn obviously agreed with the sentiment, as since that time, Portis has been busy, and he has been effective. In fact, he’s been more effective than any other running back in the league.
Hognostications Week 8
Congrats to BigRedskinDaddy for winning week 7 with an impressive 11-3 record. Many great results last week and this thing is still very much any one’s game. For the season Floyd and BigRedskinDaddy are tied in first place at 61-25. Only 5 wins separate first and tenth place.
JJG’s Z-Men
You have to give credit where credit is due… Zorn has everybody focused on the task at hand. With two losses this team should be in the dumps. Not because of the the losses, but to whom and how. Week one against the Giants it looked bad when the final whistle blew but Zorn and … Read more

Hognostications Week 7
Wow, what happened last week? After failing to post this blog last week I ended up with a 6-8 record and the Skins lost. The only other time the Skins lost was week 1 when this blog wasn’t posted, because the hognostications weren’t up and running yet. So I’ve concluded that when I do not post my … Read more
By The Numbers: Rams
Some weeks, the numbers are a little harder to look at than others, like this week’s from Washington’s 19-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams. The numbers don’t make the loss any easier to swallow, but misery loves company…
