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

That we are going to upset the Chiefs on Sunday. Of our remaining games, on paper this one is the most obvious choice for us to be completely destroyed. Maybe it's just the homer in me, but I have a gut feeling that our defense is going to stop the rush, and Alex Smith (like the guy but he's a tad overrated) is going to make some boneheaded mistakes. Our offense is going to catch the Chiefs highly touted defense off guard, and I think we'll pull out an upset. Just seems like this always happens. We lose to the teams we should beat easily (Vikings, Giants) and seem to outplay the teams we should lose to (Bears, Chargers). I smell an upset.

We are due a win. This game I expect to get beat. I am hoping we can be competitive and who knows... We might pull a 4 quarter game out and surprise ourselves. If I could put some money down on KC we would probably win. I'll try to find a sucker.

I actually have a funny feeling that if these coaches can keep this together this year, and that is a BIG if, we are gonna come out next year and light it up. The media is throwing the kitchen sink at this team right now (half of it is total BS) and with only 3 wins, they're weathering it pretty darn well. I ultimately have come to the conclusion that they need to keep Shannahan. Questionable on keeping Haslet and Kyle. I'd actually love them to bring in Wade Phillips when he gets canned as well. Plus, we have some good young players on this team. We have a ton of cash next year, and Robert needed this year to not only learn how to read defenses better, but also be humbled. This will ultimately help him long term.

If the reports of a rift between Griffin and Kyle and/or Mike are true, I don't see how they would be able to turn anything around even in a 5th year without the cap penalty.

Woke up to snow. Maybe it's a good sign. $7 on stubhub.

1) That's a big IF.

2) I just don't see that being such a big issue. Does anyone believe RGIII wants to come out next year and have a year like this one again? That affects his reputation, his endorsements, etc; All of that stuff is very important to him. If Shanahan is back next year, brings in some new players, addresses some of the other issues on the team, I'm sure RGIII will do his part to help win.

I think that everyone concerned will make every effort to make things better here …

the media and some fans like to 'conjure up' and create things like this

Robert and Kyle are very good at what they do and THEY are going to find a way to work together AND be more effective

Its a lot easier to like each other when you're winning.

Totally agree with you on the above comment.

I think the boys are going to have a good day. I truely believe some of the old time skins - like Fletch & Moss - are fireing the team up and giving them the pride that they deserve.
The wins/losses don't mean nothin on game day. We are at home, it is snowing and we're gonna kickass and humiliate the Chiefs - how dare they assume an Indian name!

I'll take four quarters of competitive football and some competent officials. Oh and some receivers who catch

Do you remember playing with electric trains as a kid? Remember that piece of track you'd use run cars over in order to get the wheels back on the rails? That's the Redskins....if your team needs to get back on track, all you need to do is play the Skins....the Skins will get the Chefs back on track today :0(

Not a good start so far.

3rd & 10. SMH

Good throw on that 3rd down play. First down. Keep getting them. Blocking on the run isn't performing so far though.

F this team. Doomed.

Chiefs going for it? Not much of a gamble. Even if they are stopped, Reid has to bet our Offense can't make him pay for it.

At least I have Jamal Charles on my fantasy team!!!

Damn, it is a blizzard in Philly!!!

So hard to see where they are on the field.

We need to score 7 right here.

Very nice throw and catch for the first. Santana

And the Robert throws an INT.

Dam!!!!!! Oh well. Now for a turn over get that ball back

Good thing I have the Chiefs D on my fantasy team!!!

That's a bad bad throw.

Check the Philly game if you can, impossible to see.
