Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

Last week the Redskins saw all their Questionable players with the exceptions of Kai Forbath and Fred Davis play, this week the Redskins again have at least 5 guys questionable, but we could see a greater number of them inactive. Here are my predictions for this week to be inactive: QB Rex Grossman: -No change … More »

Now I’m a firm believer that Jim Haslett has gotten a raw deal in Washington as he’s apparently had little say on his coaching staff and the Redskins haven’t been able to use a lot of resources on defensive player acquisition. That being said, I think it is time this offseason for the Redskins to … More »

Here are 4 areas where the Redskins have the advantage this week:   1. Rush the Quarterback: It looks like the Raiders will be going with back-up Matt Flynn this week (not fully confirmed yet), which should have the Redskins pass rush salivating. The Raiders offensive line is soft, and they made up for it … More »

When I looked at the Redskins projected 2014 Salary Cap situation last week I noted that three key players were under contract, but the Redskins were able to void their deals. Those players are WR Josh Morgan, ILB London Fletcher and S Brandon Meriweather. The good news is that by voiding these contracts the Redskins … More »

Yes the defense gave up 441 yards and allowed 27 points, but this loss doesn’t fall on the defense’s shoulders. With the defense scoring 7 points of their own, the offense only had to score 21 points for the win, yet they couldn’t accomplish that at home. No one will point to this as some … More »

By Guest Writer Megan Shoup: Ok, the name may make you sick because if you watched the movie Silver Linings Playbook, you know the characters were Eagles fans. But this edition of Silver Linings is brought to you by a Redskins fan that thinks there is still hope after the worst start we could have … More »

For three weeks the Redskins and their fans have been for the most part ignoring the undeniable truth that Robert Griffin III is not the same quarterback that left the field last year in the playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. Now given the wide range of issues that have plagued the Redskins over their … More »

Here are my top 5 takeaways from another ugly Redskins loss at home on Sunday against the Lions:   1.  This game was horrible, and like many of you I have plenty to destroy the 0-3 Redskins about.  Not only was it a bad loss at home but the way they lost makes it worse. … More »
