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

Good to see the site back up again. I thought it was gone for good.

By the way, why doesn't the WFT rename itself as "The Hogs"?

This team is cursed. Call in an exorcist.

This game confirmed that we have a lot of needs, including a defense.

Hey everyone, don't feel so down. It's now the off season, the most exciting time of the year to be a Redskins fan.

I will be sorry to see Kirk go, but we now have a lot of holes with little or no depth. It makes no sense to get into a bidding war.

I disagree with Boswell. It makes no sense to pay $130 Million to one guy unless he sprinkles magic dust on everyone else and turns average players into superstar playmakers. Setting aside the numbers, I am not sure Cousins falls into that category. Even if you pay out the big money, there is a ...

Congratulations to the Redskins for finding a way to eek out a victory in a game we probably should have lost.

My 8-week recap after watching this team get rolled over by Dallas:
without a decent running game there's no way in hell we're competitive.

Holy crap, man. Only in Washington do fans see our team line up with four starting o-linemen out and one starter playing on two sprained ankles and start ...

I have to agree. We have a decent defense, but the lack of running game means that our defense wears down at the end of the game. We cannot control the clock.

The games are a lot more exciting with a good passing game, but losing is still losing. And the whole offense becomes more fragile if the ...

I think there's close to zero chance of Norv returning. But if he were to return as offensive coordinator, I would not mind at all. The guy has talent in that role, but not as a head coach.

We are an above average team, but a one dimensional team. Good offense but terrible defense. Great passing game but a horrible running game. So it seems inconceivable to lose Cousins because he is the key guy for the only formula that seems to be working for us.

After having a team that was so bad for so long, how can I possibly complain about back to back winning seasons? I don't like how we are such a one dimensional passing team, but if we are winning half our games, how can I really complain? I tell myself I would prefer a return to Redskin smashmouth ...

This forum seems to be dying?

This forum started to go into decline as soon as the Redskins started to win. This forum was at its peak years ago during the dark days when Clinton Portis was the beast, the hero, and leader of the team. The team was terrible back then, but this forum sure loved ...

I did not see the game -- it started at 2 a.m. in my time zone, so I just checked the box score when I woke up. The first things that jumped out were that Matt Jones averaged 4.7 yards per carry(!), but that he only ran 13 times. Cousins had another 300+ game, but he threw 46 times. So why did we ...

I dunno. Sally Jenkins told us that Kirk would never work out. She probably wants us to use our top draft pick on a new quarterback.

I doubt RGIII will be all that successful wherever he ends up. No grudge here: I wish him every success, though I don't see it happening. Yet I foresee the inevitable: Wherever he ends up, he's gonna come out on top when he goes head to head against the Redskins.

But what if? What if the Redskins ...

What strikes me about the season and the way it ended was the ineffectiveness and inconsistency of our running game. During the stretch and with the streak at the end, Cousins and the passing stepped up, but the running game did not. For the whole season Cousins was constantly under the microscope ...

- Can someone tell me what this man has accomplished since coming here?
- Can someone give me one or two example of Jay Gruden showing good coaching attributes?

1. A winning season
2. NFC East Championship
3. Smooth transition to post RGIII era with no quarterback controversy
4. Developed Cousins ...

Hail to the Redskins. And their undisputed leader.

Cousins showed that he's a good NFL QB - hopefully he's here until Scot can bring in a good starting NFL QB - it's not that critical right now

Cousins was OK against the 32nd ranked pass defense in the NFL - he's not that good but he's good enough - all that matters right now is that we are in ...

Hail to the who-woulda-thunk-it-first-place-in-December Washington Redskins

I am surprised nobody is talking about our 14 yard rushing performance. Perhaps it was unrealistic to expect 100+ yards rushing against a good team. But we should be able to rush for at least 50 yards in every game. The team is asking too much of Cousins. We need to upgrade the running game.

Why do people here assume that Cousins would want to re-sign with the Redskins? Would you? There are a lot of problems in this organization. And not so much love and support from the fans. This is not a place that takes a long term view of things. If I was Kirk Cousins, I think there would be much ...

As I recall, the last time the Redskins played the Saints was at the beginning of the 2012 season. Yeah, that season, that game. We got a big win that nobody was expecting back then, against a good Saints team, and we scored more points than we had scored in a long time. It was electrifying, and ...

Inability to run the ball is really hurting this team.

I woke up at 3:30 a.m., saw the 24-7 score, groaned, and went back to bed. I woke up at 6:00 a.m., saw the final score, and almost fell out of bed. What a great comeback.

Fans seem to have given up. Biggest comeback ever and the gameday thread has only 8 pages? Postgame thread is still on page 1 ...
