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

I really think the "Washington Algoncin-Delaware Redskins" Would work.

it tells the haters "take your small little mind to an O.E.D. (Oxford English Dictionary - the definitive word on the English language) and let the truth chain thy tongue".

it isn't really a name change, so we're not buckling ...

it's a team game and people want to blame the coach or the players and even the refs - what about asking "are they playing well together?

fact is if you don't have 11 guys on the field doing what they have to do TOGETHER you're going to have FAILURE

- the salary cap hurt our depth but if Danny ...

I seem to remember D.Green was quoted as saying that essentially the talent was adequate (though not good) and that subtleties like initial positioning and first step would make a big difference. Couldn't understand why the Coach didn't leap at the offer. He was one of the best ever at his position ...

I find it reprehensible that pejoration has occluded the origin of the name and led small minded peoples to assume it offensive. My suggestion: The Washington Algoncin-Delaware Redskins, Washington Redskins for short. This Clarifies thus obviating any mistaken offense, allows retailing to continue ...

Romo historically has not fared well following 400+ yd performances. I think he's 0-4, 1-3 at best. The media called last week's 500+ a "career performance". I must agree. Romo put up impressive numbers, threw a pick at the end, and lost. I think that pretty well epitomizes his career. As long as ...

I have to see how we do against Oakland tomorrow. If we win and it's by a decent margin, then I think we do have a legitimate run at winning the division again. If we barely scrape by or lose, I'm afraid we're going to be cellar dwellars.

Regardless of the outcome. Once RG3 is one hundred percent ...

The fumble did one positive thing... the play served notice that RG3 is returning to form... that threat will serve to slow down the pass rush, and force DB's to keep an eye on 10... More downfield opportunities are likely to follow.

I agree.
Our O was almost functioning smoothly. Since this ...

Forbath
no particular reason



maybe we could cut them all and replace each position with a player with the same last name (starting qb Cedric Griffin, cb Arsenio Hall, lb Nancy Kerrigan, etc)

While RGIII hasn't shown the top-end speed we crave, he is still faster and more mobile than the majority of qb's in the league. He is quick enough to be effective running IMO. He may not be a homerun threat quite yet, but 8-12 yards and a slide a few times will likely create opportunities that the ...

RGIII clearly isn't moving with his explosive speed, but he is still, today, faster than most qbs. his accuracy is improving visibly. first game, he was missing the tire. first half today he was hitting the tire. toward the end, he put a few through the hole in the middle. his speed on his feet ...

I hope Potter gets many tries on PAT's . I heard that the 'Skins will probably resign PWhite if he clears waivers. It seems like his second chance may have some legs. I wish him the best, great feel-good comeback story there

Jesus people. It was one game with an offense no one had seen on tape. Their offense was quite different than at Oregon. Keep in mind no one in the NFL had seen that kind of speed. Also keep in mind that the offense didn't allow the defense to get off the field basically the entire first half ...

It's not that he sucks, or that he is not a disruptive force, but I can't count the times over the years Ive watched him speed rush himself out of position. IMO he is our best choice at the position, but it would be nice to see him build on his repetoire. I seem to recall him quoted as having been ...

Now that other teams have film on the Egirls, they aren't going to be as hard pressed to read the offense. Vick was limping and had stopped scrambling by the end of the game. If he doesn't last the season, I doubt Foles can effectively run that spread. I don't see them sustaining. If our O had ...

No nfl team lets up with a less than 2 touchdown lead. That is stupid.

Don't kid yourself. The Eagles were taking the play clock down to 5 seconds in the second half and went into a prevent defense, when in the first half they were running plays every 18 seconds. How is that not a definition of ...

The D seemed to be pretty solid considering all of the wacky alignments they faced. Everyone else who plays the Iggles from here forward will have film to study, but the key to stopping them seems to be pressuring Vick. He took a lot of shots, includind several dives instead of slides, and looked ...

one thing that stood out to me in preseason was the distribution of passes. Everyone got into the act amongst the recieving core. I look for RGIII to spread the ball around a LOT and hope to see a lot of big plays.
I hope Kyle has RG open up with an 80 yard bomb to Robinson, first play. It would be ...

I actually felt bad for Romo on that shot, it was brutal. But it brought to light something about Romo, he seems to play BETTER when he is in a lot of pain. Maybe the D should try not to hit him TOO hard, just enough to keep him flustered and sore, but not enough for the adrenaline rush, hehehe.
I ...

Not having a first round pick isn't so bad. The 32nd pick is practically second round anyway!

where, exactly, did these two sages have the Skins finishing last guess?
Dead last? 3, maybe 4 wins at best? If either of these clowns had picked us to win the East then I might at least care what they had to say. A good track record goes a long way in establishing credibility. We have continuity ...

BTW, love the Cleveland jokes. But sorry, I'm more of a Redskins fan now than a Browns fan..

No you're a Browns fan and you'll be spoken to as such. Anyone referring to you as anything other than a Browns fan will be corrected.

That being said...

Cousins > Weeden
RGIII > Weeden
Rex > Weeden ...

Oh, Bob's too fragile. No team would want to touch him. We would get more for good 'ole sexy McRexy. I'm afraid we have made our bed and are going to have to sleep in it. All the winning and explosive, exciting, productive offensive production is gonna be a bitter pill, but we fans will just have to ...

I'll ask the question again...what good comes from him running his mouth?

To answer a question (that's answer can only be opinionated ) with a question (that's answer can only be opinionated, but is my question... so if the answer doesn't coincide with my opinion will be wrong ), What's wrong ...

NFL approval means squat. The NFL approved every transaction that they later fined us 36 million dollars of cap space for.

Troll wins.
Since nobody is willing or able to rid this site of the flamer scumbag, I will rid the site of me instead. Clearly, the MARA-wad's right to free speech outweighs its obligation to obey the rules or behave in a decent manner, as well as my right to enjoy being a fan with all of its ups ...
