The Washington Redskins finished the season Sunday with a 17-14 loss to the New York Giants. Truth be told, the Giants played as poorly as the Skins did. Nevertheless, it was appropriate, I guess, that the Skins lost by 3 points - the value of the missed field goal. Although they posted the win, the … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback: Skins done →

The Washington Redskins managed to post a 20-17 victory in overtime over the Jacksonville Jaguars, something I didn't think possible. They have become so adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory I really didn't think they would win this thing. Just shows you how bad Jacksonville (8-7) really is. The Skins improved to … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback: Redskins win →

The Washington Redskins continued their march toward irrelevancy with a closer-than-expected 30-33 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The only thing good at this time is that, despite the loss, the Redskins are still ahead of the 'Boys in the standings due to their better conference record - not that they still won't end up in … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback: Redskins lose again →

The Washington Redskins proved, once again, how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. There was so much blame to go around it's hard to know where to start. The missed opportunities to score touchdowns when in the red zone in the first half Two missed field goals in the first half The abandonment of … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback: Redskins 5-8 →

On the day that their quarterback signed a new five-year deal reportedly worth $78 million (with $40 million guaranteed), the Washington Redskins suffered a defeat not seen almost in the history of the franchise. Out of the gate, the visiting Philadelphia Eagles scored on an 88-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Michael Vick to DeSean Jackson. … Continue reading Tuesday morning quarterback: a shellacking →

I didn't get a chance to watch much of the Redskins debacle yesterday. (Skins lost twice in two years to the Lions? Really?) From the reports, it seems that the big thing was the benching of Donovan McNabb. His replacement, Rex Grossman, promptly fumbled on his first play. Um, really, Kyle Shanahan? Look, I'm no … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback 11/01/10 →

Thanks to Steve for the reminder about the Redskins' win.  Was that ugly or what? For a while there, it felt as if whoever ended up with the ball last was going to win. A gift is a gift, though, and a win is a win. Thanks to the Chicago Bears who were slightly more … Continue reading Monday afternoon quarterbacking: Skins win ugly →

It wasn't pretty, but the Washington Redskins managed to post a 17-12 win over their NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles yesterday. Quarterback Donovan McNabb, returning to Philly for the first time since being traded from the team for whom he played 11 seasons, was far from perfect - his QB rating was a dismal 60.2 … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback: a win’s a win →

The Dallas Cowboys have opened the season at 0-2, after yesterday's loss to the Chicago Bears.  So far, so good 😉 Next week, they play at the Houston Texans, who managed an improbable come from behind victory over the Washington Redskins in overtime yesterday. That the Skins blew a 17 point lead was a bit … Continue reading Monday morning quarterback: Skins & ‘Boys lose →

Yes, the Dallas Cowboys made some serious mistakes. No, the Washington Redskins didn't play a perfect game. But at the end of the night, one team won and the other lost and no one cheated to get there nor were there questionable calls that affected the outcome. So Hail to the Redskins! I'll take the … Continue reading Redskins 13, Cowboys 7 →
