The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Younger, bigger, cheaper? Yes.

Faster, better? The jury is out on this one.

I am a big fan of this signing depending on the terms of the contract. Tremendous potential, especially in the redzone, but the big question is drops. I believe I read somewhere that he was 6th worst in the NFL in drops last year, catching just a little over half the balls targeted to him. I know ...

I am sick to my stomach over the mishandling, the mismanagement, and the PR clusterf*ck this has all become. With so much in cap space, this was the year the franchise was set to take the next step to consistent winning. Only these clowns could mess it up so bad. #-o

What's sad for us fans, is why ...

I have no idea what you're smoking my friend. I mean, Kurt Cousins is just a game manager, right?



Apparently we have been so blinded by horrible QB play over the last generation that the fanbase forgot what a quality QB looks like wearing Burgundy and Gold.

Honestly, Kirk can name his price ...

"Poorly treated" is certainly not how I would phrase it. He was caught up in a situation where I believe there were decisions (i.e., risks) made that otherwise for any other player would not have been made. I think Dr. Andrews is a POS if he truly reported in that Seattle game that RGIII was clear ...

Hello all! Packer fan here. It's not often our two teams face off each other which makes this a hard game for me to gauge. You guys have really impressed me this year, and sadly my Pack have done nothing but dissapoint down the stretch especially on offense.

Our passing game has been broken since ...

It is easy to say we have holes everywhere - almost every team does in the era of free agency + injuries. What is more important is how you work with what you have while striving for progressive upgrades along the way. The GM is doing just that. We'll lose a few pieces, but I think the start of next ...

If the Redskins secondary can play as well as Minnesota's did last week, there is good reason to believe the Redskins should win. I am not terribly worried about GB's running attack. They will get some yards, but I think it will be more 10+ yd runs, followed by 1 or 2 yd runs, and then another gash ...

ESPN 980 has been doing this morning Redskins show all week. Part of the show is "Redskins Rewind" where they've reviewed all of the wins. Really struck me how hugely important Jordan Reed has been this season. I knew it, but going back over each game, its kind of mind blowing. He's *nearly* become ...

Slightly threadjacking - but what surprised me wasn't so much Kirk's success - I believed he could be a good QB - but rather that he was able to do it without a strong running game. Our running game has sucked since Sean Lavau went down in week 2 or 3. Kirk needs D Jax and Jordan Reed much the way ...

It all has sort of a "Rudy" quality to it. His heart and passion for seeking greatness is a quality that hundreds if not thousands of others who are more "physically gifted" often lack, leading to sports lives lost in the unanswerable question of what could have been.

For Cousins, my next hope is ...

...and the Redskins players' will to play for KC > the Eagles will to play for Sam Bradford.

In short, for the first time in a long time, this team holds the leadership advantage over most of the division.

In a lot of his early starts, Kirk would throw a not-so-perfect pass that got tipped (thus turning into an INT like in the game @Patriots this year) or he would underthrow receivers a bit too much. He is still underthrowing a bit, but to me the difference is the chemistry that has started to form ...

Winning this game would put the rest of the division on notice that the Redskins are a team that will contend, not only this year, but for the short-term future. It is so strange to say, but the Redskins are the most complete team in the NFC East... and they are young! To witness this franchise ...

I can only think of maybe one poster who wouldn't give RGIII credit for winning the NFC East in 2012. There is no doubt RGIII was the catalyst, from the first game @Saints all the way until the team was winning 14-0 vs. the Seahawks in the playoffs - all RGIII, and Alfred Morris' numbers shows how ...

I feel like people think this is a Cowboys message board based on some of the posts.

Why do we have to qualify Kirk Cousins as a "back up" or "starter" - Does he start? Yes. By definition, he is a starting QB until such time when coaches bench him and he then becomes a back up QB.

The QB is one ...

I just happened to check and yep, it's been 10 years for me too. Amazing! Let's hope the next 10 years don't like anything like the first 10. It's been a rough decade (or two...).

HAIL!!

Many have said the obvious on the refs, the whifs by Kerrigan, and the points about the awful Eagles. However, what I will say is that this team is showing consistency week after week in its approach and execution - good and bad alike.

Here's the good:
1. Establish the running game, and don't give ...

You think we're a laughing stock now, just wait until we're renamed the Red Clouds. FFS.

It's defined as such? Really, give me a break. There is extensive literature pointing to the original use of the term as a term of pride expressed by the very people it is supposed to offend. It was only the "white man"'s perversion of the term that ever insinuated racist thoughts. So by claiming it ...

It is sad to see, but winning will cure all ills. That is the biggest issue - being the loser of the NFC East for so many years. There is very little reason to believe the franchise is doing anything other than spinning its wheels after the latest RGIII debacle - all hope was pinned on Bob. Now our ...

heh,heh,heh... Suh was one frustrated adolescent child for much of the game yesterday... Hence the cheap shots at Alf and Moses... The cut block laid on him by Scherff was a thing of beauty, certainly contributing the demeanor of poor Suh. I certainly feel good about the direction of both lines at ...

this from John Breech of CBS Sports - giving us a rating of C+ and the Dolphins a B ... do these guys actually watch any games .....

After the circus the Redskins went through this offseason, it's hard to nail them too hard here considering they almost pulled off the upset. Maybe next week, the ...

To end the article there is this interesting tid bit of information - maybe this has something to do with the line?
"The home team has captured the last seven meetings in this series. The Dolphins have dropped seven of their last eight road games against the NFC."
