Last 50 exclusive Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, and NFL Draft news and articles brought to you by www.thehogs.net. en-us http://www.thehogs.net/content http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1220 Here are some of the interesting numbers and statistics from the Washington Redskins' hard-fought 27-17 victory over the Denver Broncos. 388 - Total yards for the Redskins offense in their best whistle-to-whistle outing of the season. 269 - Total yards of offense for the Broncos... in the first half alone! Unfortunately for the Broncos, they would manage just 36 yards in the second half, for a total of 305 yards. 193 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, on a 17 for 26 day. Ironically, th... Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1219 Heading into a game in which the topic of discussion should center around the return of former Redskin Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey this Sunday at FedEx Field, the conversation in the DC Metro area this week centers around key injuries in a season that continues to go south. Quarterback Jason Campbell suffered a chest contusion while offensive tackle Mike Williams is out 2-4 weeks with a torn ankle ligament and safety Chris Horton was placed on injured reserve with a damaged ligament in ... Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1218 Here are some of the more interesting numbers and stats from the Washington Redskins 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday: 196 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, going 15 of 22. He may not have been all world out there, but he wasn't the problem either. 166 - Yards rushing for Michael Turner, on 18 carries. He had a few late carries that brought down his average slightly, but at one point, he was 13/146 yards (2 TD) - over 11 yards per carry. 70 - Yards rushing for Ladell Betts... Mon, 9 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1217 When times become increasingly tougher and the end is not near, it is then that a person, or in this case, a team, determines their true character and desire to be successful. That is the situation facing the Washington Redskins heading into Week 9 of the 2009 season. Having gone through the lighter portion of their schedule (their first six opponents not yet garnering a win at the time of the contests), the team began its streak of difficult opponents before heading into their bye week. ... Thu, 5 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1216 Footprints One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, t... Wed, 4 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1215 Here is a look at the numbers from the Washington Redskins 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night: 308 - Total yards for the Redskins, 46 more than Philadelphia's 262. Considering the Eagles' dominance on the scoreboard, it's a stat that almost always means that there is a big turnover number involved somewhere. 284 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, on 29 of 43 attempts. He has other numbers in this list that were unfortunately more telling on the game's result. 156 - Y... Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1213 With their loss to yet another winless team, this time to the then 0-5 Kansas City Chiefs, the Redskins may have hit rock bottom. At least that's how the majority of fans and media, local and national, view things. But not Andre Carter, who has been on both sides of the fence, having played both for successful playoff teams and teams that were amongst the bottom of the league. While in San Francisco, Carter was on some very inexperienced, rebuilding teams that underperformed but for the pa... Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1212 Never be afraid to do something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the Titanic. Yes we have a new play caller and with that comes new wrinkles but none of this means anything if guys don't go out and execute, which is exactly how we can get things turned around. We have a lot of talent on our team and it seems like our talent has not come together and produced like it is suppose to. Why you ask? Well I like to look at this like a chain. A chain has a bunch of links in... Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1210 Here is a look back at some of the interesting, and again painful, numbers and statistics from the Redskins 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday: 265 - Total yards for the paltry Redskins offense - this against the NFL's 32nd-ranked defense (going into the game). 109 - Yards receiving for Dwayne Bowe on 6 receptions, he was their main target. 89 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, after going 9 of 16. Of course those are the numbers for the first half only, because the performa... Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1209 Everything starts at the top, at the the top of the Washington Redskins pecking order you have the owner and Mr Vinny Cerrato. These two are solely responsible for what the fans see on the gridiron on Sundays, they have the final say on all that is or will be burgundy and gold. They are the Redskins' Chiefs The roster is surprisingly built with 45.2 percent of the roster being players that the team drafted. Counting 2009 supplemental draft pick Jeremy Jarmon the Redskins have 24 players they ... Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1208 The Washington Redskins Charitable Organization and Diageo have announced the start of the Redskins Safeties Tackle for Safety program, an initiative that donates $100 dollars for each tackle made by a Redskins Safety this year. The $100 donation is part of the Redskins' Responsibility is a Team Sport initiative, a program that promotes responsibility by the team and the community. The program is overseen by Ken Harvey, the Pro Bowl linebacker and current Redskins Director of R... Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1207 For the third time this season, the Redskins gave an opponent their first victory of the season. The difference between Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers and the previous two is that the Redskins led at halftime for the first time all season and squandered a 15-point lead in the third quarter. Arguably the biggest momentum changing play of the game for both teams was the controversial botched fair catch. Redskins returnman Antwaan Randle El waved his arms to signal for a fair catch, b... Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1206 "Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.' It's called perseverance." - Lee Iacocca "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas Alva Edison. That is exactly what our football team will do this week. We will try to get back on track... Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1205 Here's a look at some of the interesting and often painful numbers and statistics from the Redskins 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday: 198 - Total yards of offense for the Redskins. Ugh. Coming into the game, Carolina was allowing almost that on the ground ever game. 145 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell; he was 17 of 23. 74 - Yards total rushing for the Skins. 66 - Percent in red zone efficiency - starting on the Panthers' 1 and on the 12 definitely made the statistic v... Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1204 Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato have made an unforeseen move by bringing in offensive consultant Sherman Lewis to provide another set of eyes. Running back Clinton Portis and fullback Mike Sellers had to be separated and restrained, although no punches were thrown. The argument stemmed from Portis' request to have blocking tight end Todd Yoder replace Sellers in the backfield against the Buccaneers last week. This is how the (2-2) Washington Redskins, prepared to travel to Bank of America Stadium t... Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1203 Well, once again we at the Six Pack have been fortunate enough to get our hands on/steal (wink*) another entry from Vinny Cerrato's meticulously kept diary. One thing we have come to learn is that while you might question his football knowledge, you absolutely can NOT question his expertise -- you might even call it an obsession -- when it comes to Miley Cyrus. He knows things about her that no one else knows and some things that only she should (legally) know which is weird, granted, but hey: t... Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1202 One of the prevailing pieces of information to come out of Sunday's 16-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was that, despite being booed on their way to the locker room at the beginning of halftime by the hometown crowd, the Redskins did not take an emotional “Rah! Rah!” approach, but rather a calm, focused and strategic approach on trying to achieve what they weren't able to accomplish in the first half. All this, while trailing 10-0 to an 0-3 team that wasn't even supposed to have a lead ... Thu, 8 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1201 First off, sorry about not blogging last week. I had so much business stuff to take care of and had no time. Now I'm back this week and I have a few things that I would like to talk about. Over the last week, a lot has happened and now it's time to catch up on a few things. I know everyone would like to forget the Lion's game. I know I would but the loss is on our schedule and will be there for the whole year. People always say you must move on and that is true in a sense but losing to the Li... Wed, 7 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1200 Here are some of the numbers from the Redskins narrow, hard-fought 16-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 277 - Total net yards for the Washington Redskins offense. 229 - Total net yards for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. 170 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, who was 12 of 22, with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions 106 - Yards passing for the Bucs Josh Johnson in his 1st start; the Redskin defense did a great job of not letting the young quarterback get going. 98 - Yards... Sun, 4 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1198 What follows is an answer to the chorus of complaints from the legions of fans tired of being distracted by “sensible” analysis, backed by “facts” and “knowledge.” If you seek shelter from the twin storms that are “reality” and “logic,” then this is your port of call. This week at the Six Pack we have an exclusive, our first ever. We were actually able to get our hands on the running and extremely (in fact often explicitly and frighteningly) detailed diary kept by none other than Vinny Cerrat... Fri, 2 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1199 The folks in Washington must have decided that the city of Detroit needed another D.C. Bailout, as the Redskins provided the Lions with their first regular season win since Dec. 23, 2007. Because the team was on the road it appears they receive word of the bailout after the game had started. The Redskins' defense held the Lions to less than 20 yards after the opening kickoff. The Redskins started their first possession at their own 24 yard line and moved to Lions one. Then came the bailout. Det... Fri, 2 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1197 There is no way to sugarcoat it. Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Detroit Lions, who had lost every regular season game since Week 17 in 2007, is arguably the most undesirable in recent memory. Fans and media alike have been questioning the team's direction since the Redskins 9-7 win over the St. Louis Rams in Week 2 and the second guessing escalated this week. With all of the external distractions that can quickly infiltrate a locker room, defensive end Andre Carter says that, as a veteran lead... Thu, 1 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1196 Here is a look at some of the interesting, and often painful numbers from the Redskins' 19-14 loss to the Detroit Lions: 644 - Days since the Detroit Lions last won a game. That's 92 weeks, or 15,456 hours, or 927,360 minutes, or 55,641,600 seconds - in other words - an awfully long time. 55,641,600 also seems to be about the number of times that someone on the TV said, 'people in Detroit are happy,' on Sunday night. 340 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell; he had two touchdown passes, and ... Sun, 27 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1195 What follows is an answer to the chorus of complaints from the legions of fans tired of being distracted by "sensible" analysis, backed by "facts" and "knowledge." If you seek shelter from the twin storms that are "reality" and "logic," then this is your port of call. - I was standing in line at a Target (buying a new iron -- the old one spit rust-colored water onto a white dress shirt, which sort of defeats the purpose) when the cashier and a customer behind me in line started asking me abou... Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1194 The (1-1) Washington Redskins travel to Ford Field to face the (0-2) Detroit Lions on Sunday; kickoff is at 1 p.m. The Detroit Lions looked like they would get into the win column last week with a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw his first NFL touchdown pass and the running game was productive. The Lions offense, leading 10-7 at halftime, came out in the third quarter and ran five plays, including two sacks and a fumble. Detroit went on to give up 2... Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1193 Never in recent memory has a victory garnered so much negative publicity from the fans and local media. The Redskins 9-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday was not what the fans or players envisioned before it began, but in the NFL, you take a win any way you can get it. That is how the team is looking at it, especially defensive end Andre Carter. “To be honest we were happy that we won. We fought hard and we are 1-1,” Carter said. “If we had lost we would be two games in the hole. ... Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1192 Yes, Yes, Yes... we got our first victory of the season. It wasn't pretty and it wasn't a blowout, but it was still a good win for the burgundy and gold. I'm happy because I have been around a long time and know that no matter how you win in this league, you better enjoy it because wins are hard to get. It was a hard fought game and both teams were deserving of a victory but in the end, Redskins are 1-1 and the Rams are 0-2. What people must understand is that this is the team that beat us la... Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1191 Here is a look at some of the numbers from the Redskins 9-7 home opener victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday at Fed Ex Field. 362 - Total yards offense from the Redskins - a much better effort than last week (272), despite their obvious red zone struggles. 242 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell - he was better this week than he was last week. 125 - Yards passing for Marc Bulger; the Redskins secondary played well. 104 - Yards rushing for Steven Jackson - most of them came on a 5... Sun, 20 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1189 The Washington Redskins will host their first game of the season as they take on the St. Louis Rams at Fed Ex Field Sunday afternoon. Kickoff is at 1 pm. The St. Louis Rams scored their first points on special teams last week when they took on the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field. Rams defensive end C.J. Ah You blocked a field-goal attempt by Seattle's Olindo Mare late in the first half. Cornerback Quincy Butler scooped up the ball, and sprinted 51 yards to the end zone. Before the Rams could ...

If you seek shelter from the twin storms that are "reality" and "logic," then this is your port of call. -Final scores are tricky things to read, because they only tell you a small part of the story. The winner and loser are obvious but the distance between losing and winning is often relative. There are those games in which the fi... Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1188 Due to a 23-17 loss to the New York Giants this past Sunday, the Redskins have started their 2009 season the same way they started 2008; they return home from the Meadowlands without a victory, and hoping to gain ground in the conference with an NFC matchup at home the following week. The Redskins have historically had problems at Giants Stadium (2-7 in the last 9 seasons) and in their latest regular season matchup there, it did not veer from the script. Some fans and observers sense eithe... Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1187 I can officially say that I hate playing in New York. I've only won once there and that stadium has not been good to us since I came to the Skins five years ago. I really thought the game could have gone either way and we had opportunities to win it. Taking nothing from the Giants because they are a good team but we always seem to find a way to beat ourselves when playing them. It only takes about 3 to 5 plays in a game to get you beat and they had those plays fall their way to get it done. ... Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1186 2009 Roster Review: The Washington Redskins quarterback situation remains the same; it's Jason Campbell as the starter in Jim Zorn's West Coast offense. This is Campbell's second season in the offense and the first time he hasn't had to learn a new one in the off-season. In Zorn's second season he is adjusting his scheme to fit his QB, by taking more shots down field than what is the norm in a precision/timing passing scheme. If nothing else, Clinton Portis should benefit from the extra man n... Sat, 12 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1185 The nice, if obvious, thing about the start of the NFL season is that nothing is written … except this sentence … and the next one … and all of the following ones. OK, some things are written but insofar as the NFL is concerned, the slate is blank. We, as fans, can feel legitimate excitement about what the coming season holds. We can be optimistic without having to ignore certain and wholly inconvenient realities that do not mesh with our idea of an ideal season. Hope springs eternal … until it... Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1184 Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. Football has been back for over a month but now the records and standings count. From July 30th to late August, coaches and players fought through two-a-days to improve themselves and this team. For veterans especially, training camp is viewed as an unwelcome but necessary evil. “Training camp is training camp. There is no patty cake during training camp. You have your good days and not so good days. Your body is going to be sore and mentally you ar... Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1183 I would assume that everyone would like to know about my injury and how it happened last year so I would like to start there because it has been well documented that I injured my knee on the first play of practice at last year's training camp. While rushing the passer from my DE spot along with Cornelius Griffin at DT, I came around the corner to find Cornelius on the ground to avoid hitting Jason Campbell and I had to leap over him and avoid hitting Jason myself. As I landed on my left leg whil... Wed, 9 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1181 Last season, THN launched a weekly interview during the preseason with Redskins starting defensive end Andre Carter, aptly named: “THN Weekly with Andre Carter.” THN is proud to announce that Andre has happily agreed to continue THN Weekly for the 2009 season. And in this special installment of THN Weekly, Andre gives his thoughts on just about everything that happened during yet another entertaining offseason as well as how he spent his down time during the late winter and spring. ... Tue, 9 Jun 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1180 In this exclusive interview with THN, Redskins safety Reed Doughty describes how he spent his offseason, his decision to return to the team, how he felt about the team's offseason moves, and his outlook on the 2009 NFL Draft. If anyone knows adversity, it's Reed Doughty. Whether it's battling to make an NFL roster as a rookie coming out of little University of Northern Colorado in 2006, coping with his first son Micah's kidney disease, stepping up in place of superstar safety Sean Taylor... Wed, 8 Apr 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1179 Sean Taylor would have been 26 today. Running a Washington Redskins web site, there's not a day that goes by that one doesn't think about what a tragedy Sean's murder was, and from so many different angles. First and foremost, it robbed a family of its beloved son, a woman of her beloved fiance, current and former teammates of a friend and the most heart-wrenching of all, a little girl of her Daddy. As bad as remembering that couple of days are for the people that knew Sean Taylor the Redski... Wed, 1 Apr 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1178 The most quoted paragraph on Washington Redskins message boards and any other discussions about the Redskins leading up to the start of Free Agency was from the Washington Post. It read: "The Redskins still have one of the worst salary cap situations in the NFL. They could be roughly $10 million under the cap by restructuring a few more contracts and releasing a player such as veteran cornerback Shawn Springs, but that might not be enough for the Redskins to sign a high-profile player wh... Thu, 5 Mar 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1177 The Redskins have addressed another need by bringing back the missing original member of "The Dirtbags." Left guard Derrick Dockery will sign a five-year, $26.5 deal to return to the Redskins. The contract should be a happy medium between the reported three-year, $12 million pact offered by the Redskins just prior to free agency in 2007 and the seven-year, $49 million deal he ended up accepting from the Buffalo Bills, where he has started all 32 games the last two seasons. On the eve of ... Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1176 The Redskins have done it again. This time, it's record setting. Never shy from attempting to catch the big fish in the ocean known as NFL free agency, the Redskins have essentially caught the whale shark of this year's talent pool. The team doled out a 7-year, $100 million contract to former Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, the largest contract ever given to a defensive player, with a reported $41 million in guarantees, a record for any NFL player. The deal could es... Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1175 The Washington Redskins have roughly 45 players under contract for the 2009 season, and off-season activities (Free Agency and the Draft) are fast approaching. The Redskins are currently more than $3 million over the projected 2009 cap. Contract restructurings and player cuts are right around the corner, so where will the Redskins start? First, they will need to tender contract offers to the restricted free agents that they will be bringing back. Chances are Defensive Tackles Kedric Golsto... Mon, 2 Feb 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1172 Redskins defensive end Andre Carter is returning to San Francisco's Candlestick Park -- the place he called his NFL home for his first five seasons -- for the first time since 2005. Washington was eliminated from the play-offs last week by the Atlanta Falcons, bit Carter has plenty of motivation following the Redskins completion of a season sweep against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins 10-3 victory over the Eagles was fueled by a fiery effort from the team's 4th ranked defense, holding... Sun, 28 Dec 2008 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1170 It's official. The Redskins have now reached the lowest point of their season. A 20-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday deflated almost any hope the team had of reaching the 2008 postseason. Many players and coaches continue to say that the team practices at a playoff-like pace and focus hard every week to prepare for these games, so why hasn't it shown when it comes to game time? "Good question. Even I can't answer that. We are busting our tail in practice. Our level of confiden... Sat, 20 Dec 2008 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1169 All-time great Sammy Baugh passed away Wednesday night at Fisher County Hospital in Rotan, TX. Baugh was 94, and had reportedly been battling multiple ailments in an assisted-living home. Baugh should be in consideration for the greatest quarterback ever. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the modern-day NFL passing game. Baugh was a key cog in the machine that began transforming the National Football League from a regionalized sport known for the violence and brutality that pur... Thu, 18 Dec 2008 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1168 Only in the virtual world is there a "re-do" option. The Redskins are wishing that what they are experiencing is just a bad Madden 09 simulation. Unfortunately that is not the case. The Redskins lost their third consecutive game 24-10 on Sunday night. This time it was just up the road against the Baltimore Ravens, making them 0-4 on prime-time games and 1-3 all-time against the Ravens. The loss puts the Redskins in a situation that requires three consecutive victories for a playoff spot... Sun, 14 Dec 2008 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1167 It's that time of year again. The Redskins are in the midst of their annual midseason slump. The question is: will they compose themselves during the final quarter of the season as they have two of the previous three seasons? That remains to be seen but it has been done before, as evidenced by the team's last two playoff appearances. In 2005, the Redskins won their final five games to compile a 10-6 record. Last season, the team made a very emotional run, winning the final four games fo... Sat, 6 Dec 2008 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1166 This weekend marks a very special point in the 2008 season. Not only do the Redskins play host to the defending Super Bowl champion and NFC leading New York Giants, they also get to pay homage to a fallen friend and teammate. Just one year after his tragic passing, the Redskins will induct the late Sean Taylor into the Ring of Fame at FedEx Field prior to Sunday's game. The tribute will feature comments and messages from Taylor's former teammates and family members. Taylor's family will also ... Fri, 28 Nov 2008 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1165 For the second game in a row, the Redskins lost a very important home contest, this time to the division rival Dallas Cowboys. After starting the season 4-1, the Redskins have lost three of five with all of those loses coming at home. For the second week in a row, chants of “Defense! Defense!” echoed down from the stands while the Redskins offense was on the field, with opposing defensive players waving their arms and encouraging their fans. The home field advantage appears to have vanished. ... Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:00:00 CST
