September 25th, 2012 at 9:54 AM

Washington Redskins Vs St Louis Rams Preview: Another Shootout
September 21st, 2012 at 2:49 PM
Last week, the Washington Redskins lost an incredibly close game. You can look back at several plays and acknowledge that any one of the them might have led to a three point difference (which would have at least resulted in overtime).

The Washington Redskins entered Sunday riding last week's victory over the Saints but stumbled in St. Louis, leaving fans shocked and confused.

September 4th, 2012 at 7:14 PM
The Washington Redskins kick off their season this weekend, facing the New Orleans Saints. As of now, not a lot is expected of the Redskins--some doubt any growth at all--but they could easily be misled by seasons of the past. Who am I to judge? I have my own thoughts...

Washington Redskins Display Tremendous Depth in 30-3 Victory Over Bucs
August 30th, 2012 at 6:54 PM
The Redskins finished their preseason 3-1, after defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-3 on Wednesday night. Preseason wins normally hold little value--take the Lions' 4-0 to 0-16 debacle as an example--and starters don't even play in the fourth game usually. But this was an impressive win? Yes. For the first...

July 21st, 2012 at 2:19 PM
