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

The joke in my house growing up was about the Giants talk radio of the day. It seems eerily similar to what the Giants do during the first three quarters of their games:

"Why can't the Giants just score?"

I don't mind commercials after long drives and actual action in the game. This is what I hate:

Team scores... commercial... kickoff... commercial...3 and out... commercial...

We can do it more like college basketball does where they set certain times during the game to go to commercial (with ...

After pretty much every pundit in the country had picked up to lose to Houston, I would throw credibility issues into the whole prediction process. These writers (especially the national ones on ESPN and SI) are supposed to be critical, not biased (but then again, it is the media, so forget I said ...

I thought that they called it a "Strip Sack"?

I know that in my NCAA Football 2004 game, I get credit for a sack when I cause a fumble, I think they may.

They need to go back to putting Madden on the cover like back in the early 90s.

Or maybe the curse could work on commentators, too, and we can convince Joe Buck to be on it so he can go back to boring us with his jokes during baseball games in October.

I think Shockey's overrated. I watched the whole interview on ESPN Motion this morning, and he was basically complaining about the fact that he had to do a lot of blocking! That's what tight ends do!

I think Shockey is basically one of the many U-Miami jerks who is so full of himself, he doesn't ...

This post may be moved to a Redskins-specific forum, but I'll continue.

So for my birthday about a month ago, I picked up EA Sports NFL Head Coach for the PS 2. I played it that afternoon, got hired and got to training camp (it can be a long and tedious game, but I think it's fun).

Anyway ...

1. Coors Light with limited selection. I'm a beer snob, so if I can get nicer beer, I'll go for it.

2. Burgers and brats

3. Clinton Portis (yeah, the guy makes the money, but he also backs it up with the numbers and he's an excellent locker room guy)

4. Anyone wearing a Cowboys uniform (and ...

Portis had a huge game, and the 75-yard shovel pass was huge. Here's my concern with the offense:

Take away the 75-yard Portis catch-and-run, and Brunell's numbers are:
23-26, 195 yards, 1 TD. 7.5 yards per attempt

These are respectable numbers, but again, the lack of a deep threat will make ...

While I'm not a Brunell fan, we have to remember that Trent Green is the same age as Brunell, and he ran the Al Saunders offense to perfection for the past 5 years.

I'm seriously pissed off about last night's game because our O-line was a joke. Jansen got too many holding calls. They couldn't ...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Pats-hater and I'm all for the "no player is above the team" thing. My question was merely posed to get opinions on how much the team can shed before it loses its core.

By getting rid of Coles and Gardner, we didn't lose our core. Branch was a possession receiver ...

While I do have more confidence in the team, I think Patrick Hruby of ESPN's Page 2 has a much better explanation for the loss on Monday night: Tom Cruise.

Pre-Gibbs-2nd-Coming Era, I would have been inclined to partially agree with this article. But I think the writer has lost touch with Snyder's maturity over the past few seasons.

While his draft decisions haven't been the best (2005 draft excluded, I think we did pretty well then), he's working ...

I think Kornheiser and (begrudgingly) Theismann said it best on Monday Night. Gibbs will slowly become more like Bobby Bowden at FSU. More of a figurehead and a decider in personnel.

I think we should encourage Gibbs to stay on for a long time, because as long as we have him, Skins fans believe ...

Our kicking game suffers because our kickers are inconsistent. Our kick coverage suffers for the same reason. It's ridiculously hard for punt coverage to be consistent when Frost can't make the punt at least 4-5 seconds of hangtime EACH time. One kick is 31 yards and a line drive, the next 36 and a ...

I've been married for almost 18 months now, and since my wife is almost as rabid a football fan as I am, I don't see it going south anytime soon.

But I grew up with friends of divorced parents, and it isn't pretty. Some of them turned out fine, and some of them didn't. Divorce is a scary thing ...

If Grammatica's got the leg back, I think he would be a decent idea for the PK. And with the new NFL rules about celebrations (a.k.a. the "Steve-Smith-Chad-Johnson-T-O Oppression" Rule), we shouldn't have to worry too much about him blowing out his knee in a leap.

P.S. I'm not a fan of excessive ...

I've seen Moss come up with catches after harder hits than that... It was a great hit... but maybe I'm just bitter overall

Yes, I know. We have Pro-Bowl O-Linemen. And yes, I was only able to see the first half of the game (SEE: DVR Disaster). But I saw Minnesota's D-Line own our O-Line all night. Brunell didn't have a lot of time, and when you use swing passes and screens to slow them down, any defense with an IQ can ...

No??? How 'bout Chip Lohmiller?

You mean "Wide Right" Chip Lohmiller?

I was at the Skins/49ers game last year where they thumped Alex Smith and Co.

I think Novak might not be a bad idea. He's a local too.

So I'm a die-hard Skins fan living in UT right now, and I have set my DVR to record the game last night (since it started when I was still at work). For some reason, as I'm watching the game in the first half, the remote basically ceases to work when it comes to pausing, skipping through commercials ...

I'm just saying that a gimp in Indy is better than our kicker right now.

How about pulling Morten Andersen out of retirement?

It would be one thing if this was John Hall's first miss of his tenure here in Washington, but it's not. He's missed several field goals and lost us several games.

Word is Vanderjagt wants out of Dallas, and while I'm not necessarily a fan of the guy, there's a good bet that he wouldn't have ...

I pose this question in light of the Deion Branch trade. Seeing Brady throw for 4,000 yards last year, I got him on my fantasy team. While he threw 2 TDs yesterday, he only had like 30 yards completed to his receivers. Yes, his TEs are beasts, and Maroney is an excellent draft pick, but an offense ...

Admittedly, it was probably aided by the dreadful Houston defense, but who else can't see that McNabb is back? Stallworth may have stalled in NO, but he'll look good with a real QB throwing to him!

Anyone see that 40-yard bullet?
