Sports in Perspective
22 days, 1 hour, 41 minutes and 44 seconds until the 2012 NFL Draft. (Not that I’ve been keeping track or anything.) As per usual, the offseason has been full of rumors, speculation and confusion. Peyton Manning, Matt Flynn, and the latest, RGIII. And now the Redskins have officially acquired the second overall pick in [...]
The Redskins Week 17 game was essentially a microcosm of their entire season. Penalties, missed opportunities and poor decisions largely defined a very frustrating end to an equally frustrating season. But there is reason for optimism for next year, as many of the young players continue to show incredible potential. The Good: Well, for starters, [...]
The Washington Redskins will conclude the season on Sunday in Philadelphia against their division opponents. The Eagles are hoping to finish up the season .500, while the Redskins attempt to finish with the same record from last season. Redskins Offense: The last time these teams met Grossman had one of his worst games ever with [...]
The Redskins take on the Vikings this week, for the final home game of the season. Both teams have had disappointing seasons, filled with quarterback drama and defeat. The Redskins are 5-9, while the Vikings are 2-12. Statistically speaking, this game should be less of a challenge for the skins, but as we’ve all seen, [...]
The New York Giants may control their own destiny as far as the playoffs go, but the Redskins certainly controlled this game. Despite early game mistakes, they quickly seized the lead and never let go, dominating their division opponents for the second time this season. (Antrel Rolle may want to re-think his math a little [...]

Both the Redskins offense and defense were able to dominate the game for all 4 quarters in their 28-14 win at home. 14 weeks and a multitude of injuries later, the division [...]
Just when you thought the Redskins were finally done with the self-defeating off-field drama that seemed to spread like the plague through the locker room in previous seasons, they deal perhaps the hardest blow to fans yet; left tackle Trent Williams and tight end Fred Davis will miss the remainder of the season for failed [...]
The Redskins 19-34 loss today to the Jets does not tell the full story of the game. For example, it does not adequately convey the phenomenon that seems to have occurred within this game where each team miraculously possessed the ability to turn their skills on and off like a light switch. First quarter Redskins [...]
When it comes to the Redskins it’s all but impossible to predict what will happen next. Rex Grossman is always full of surprises, some good but most bad. The same thing can be said of Mark Sanchez. Both Quarterbacks have had just a tiny bit of trouble throwing the ball to, you know, the correct [...]
Roy Helu appears to be the Redskins starting Running Back for the remainder of the season. But the question remains of whether or not he’s ready just yet. Given the enormous amount of injuries past running backs have incurred and an offensive line that is questionable at best, is it the right time to use [...]
