Redskins Throwback Uniforms

This Sunday Redskins will wear 80th
anniversary throwback uniforms in their home game against the Carolina Panthers.

Semi-Pro Golfer Tony Romo Misses Cut Against Giants

Tony Romo threw for 437 yards and four interceptions in a loss Sunday to the New York Giants at Cowboys Stadium. Tony Romo now leads all quarterbacks for interceptions with 13 through week 8. This game was a perfect microcosm of Romo's career with the Cowboys and the team itself as a whole. Romo and the Cowboys have flashed brilliance on many occasions, but they have come up short time and again in the big moment. After falling behind by 23-0 the Cowboys fought back to lead by one 24-23 in the fourth quarter. Eli and the Giants took back the lead with a field goal to make it 26-23 Giants. With the game on the line, Romo forced a pass into a tight window while being pursued by three Giants. Romo's pass was intercepted by Safety Stevie Brown, this should have been the end for the Cowboys, however the Cowboys D got a stop with less than a minute to go, to give Romo one more shot .With a circus catch by Dez Bryant that was called out of bounds by an inch the Cowboys lost 29-24.Why does this Cowboy team fail? To properly assess the Dallas Cowboys and why they fail in an epic way, one has to look no further than owner and GM Jerry Jones. Jones and his Joker-like mask of a face-lift serve as a reminder of his bad judgement, and hilarious" Phyllis Diller"moniker (slapped on him by Jimmy Johnson). His team has become a reflection of himself,with a Quarterback who seems more worried about celebrities and being in celebrity golf events than doing the hard offseason work it takes to be a champion. This behavior of Romo's is reminiscent me of Jones and his incredible narcissism. This guy who owns the most valuable sports team in the United States valued at 2.1 billion dollars, has to constantly insert his Joker face on numerous tv commercials. Jones has assembled many talented pieces,but many are flashy stat mongers who,like Jones selfishly work for their own glory.
Jones fired the architect of the great Cowboy team that won three Super Bowls in the nineties Jimmy Johnson,
basically because Jones could not get
full controll and credit with Johnson
running the show.In retrospect maybe this was one of the reasons Jones fired one of the most beloved coaches ever Tom Landry when he took ownership of the team. Landry was a gentleman and a professional the antithesis of Darth Jones he had class.If you don't think character matters, you go after guys like Dez Bryant , Pac Man Jones, and Terrell Owens. Bryant was given a security detail and special rules this season to keep him out of strip clubs and trouble with the police. Former Cowboy Pac Man Jones entourage was responsible for paralyzing a bouncer at a "Gentlemen's Club"
after an incident where Jones became angry at a stripper who he punched in the face.
With Jerry Jones appearing in numerous tv commercials and series such as HBO's Entourage, Diet Pepsi Max, Papa John's, and ESPN's Monday Night Football just to name a few. It's very clear Jones wants to be the face of the franchise, maybe he should rename the Cowboys the Joneses.

RG3 is in the top ten in no fewer than
13 stat categories, he is número uno
in 4 of these.

Despite loss RG3 shines

At Met Life Stadium today the Washington Redskins lost to the New York Giants. Despite the loss,as a Redskins fan I could not be more pleased with the rookie phenom RG3.
Although making the playoffs this year
is probably not going to happen, RG3
will put the Redskins in contention for
years to come. With the weakness of the Redskins defensive backs and their inability to stop the passing game it is
wishfull thinking to expect the Skins to make the playoffs this year. Having said that I am almost in disbelief of what RG3 is doing on the field. After seven games RG3 continues to better his eye popping numbers. Improving his league leading completion percentage up from 70.2 to 70.4. RG3's passing efficiency is also reflected in his quarterback rating
which after seven games improved from 100.5 to 101.7 for the year, trailing only Aaron Rodgers (105.4)
and Peyton Manning (105). RG3 also added 89 yards on just 9 carries which gives him a total of 468 yards on just 64 carries for a 7.3 ave. This was achieved by completing 20 of 28 passes for 258 yards and 2 touchdowns.These numbers keep getting better every week as RG3 continues a rookie season for the ages.

RG3 wins NFL rookie of the week

In just six games RG3 wins his third rookie of the week award, and has moved into contention for MVP.

East Coast Offense

When asked by columnist Rick Reilly for a name for the offense the Redskins are running now Shanahan said, "call it the East Coast Offense".
RG3's unique skill set have allowed the offense to run a diverse mixture of looks such as the triple-option, zone read option,the pistol, traditional,and wishbone. It remains to be seen what
other looks could be revealed in this evolving high octane offense,that has
gained the third highest yard total and second most points.

Sports Book

The 4-2 New York Giants are favored by 6.5 pts over the 3-3 Washington Redskins at MetLife Stadium in the 1 pm Sunday game. This division matchup against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants, arguably the best team in football is an excellent
early gauge for the surprising Redskins.

Another RG3 record!

No quarterback has ever thrown for 75 percent completion rate ( minimum 10 attempts) and rushed for 130 yds.
According to Rich Tandler's "Historic firsts becoming routine for RG3".

Redskins moving up!

The Washington Redskins move up in
the AP Pro 32 power rankings to number 13.

RG3 Record

According to Elias Sports Bureau Robert Griffin III became the first QB to
rush for a td of 75 yards or more and throw for a td of 75 yards or more in the same season.

Shanahan Defers

Mike Shanahan explained to the media that the reason he has elected to defer when winning the coin flip this season
Is a stat he found that showed deferring teams win 60 per cent of the time. Keep those stats to yourself coach we don't need an explanation.

Take-Away Give Away

Redskins at plus 9 in take-away stat tied for second in league with Chicago Bears trail only Falcons at plus 10.
It seems like Jim Hazlett's defense is improving and the plan is working.

RG3 scores on 76 yard td run

Today in Landover Md, at Fed Ex Field
The Washington Redskins ended an eight game home losing streak. This win seemed like something much bigger for the Redskins, this win felt like the beginning of something great. RG3 was electrifying ,especially on a 3rd and 6 in the fourth quarter
when RG3 ran for 76 yards on a designed run play that resulted in a td that thrilled Fed Ex Redskins fans.
This was the longest run by a qb since
Kordel Stewart's 80 yd td in 1996!
Through six games RG3 leads all quarterbacks in the NFL in rushing
touchdowns with six! RG3 also has the second highest qb rating at 100.5
Only Peyton Manning's 101 is higher.
RG3 owns the highest completion percentage in the league at 70.2 ,this stat is one that is a sign of future greatness for RG3. The highest completion percentages are usually found in top tier quarterbacks, this shows RG3's passing accuracy and good decision making. Rg3's 70.2 completion percentage extrapolated out through 16 games will smash Rothlisberger's rookie record of 66.4 per cent! Through six games RG3's 379 yds rushing has him on pace to break Cam Newton's rookie record of 706 yds rushing. RG3 also has a good chance to break Cam's rookie record of 14 rushing touchdowns.

RG3 is second to Arian Foster on rushing TD list with 4.

RG3 is sixth in the NFL, tied with Peyton Manning with 101 passer rating.

RG3 is second in the NFL in yds per carry with a 5.7 average. In 42 rushing attempts for 241 yds!

Alfred Morris

Morris is 4th on the rushing list with 491 yds. A tightly bunched group Morris is just 60 yds shy of NFL rushing leader Jamaal Charles. With just 100 carries Morris averages 4.9 yds per attempt.

RG3 Leads NFL in completion percentage
