Capitals Streaking Wiz Lose Opener

Well the Wiz had their first home opener since 1999 when players like Strickland and Richmond and Howard used to be Wizards. It wasn't pretty as the Wiz could not fight off a flurry of short jumpers from Cater and Hayes and got put behind with no time to come back. Very unfortunate. There was a tipped ball I think the ref made a horrible call on when Macggee tipped the ball to a teammate but the ref awarded ball to the Nets saying Javale controlled the ball and did not tip it but passed it. Bad call and the Wiz fall. Butler is toinight's point champ with a combined score of 28 14 11 and 5 (points boards assists) but had two drives to the bicket turn into TO and just looked rusy in the first game of the year. Then another bone to pick is with Deshawn who shot a two when a three would have been the better choice late in the game. I still expect the Wiz to be a good team a team that took 3-4 from the evntual and now reigning champ Boston Celtics bot what they did to LA in that final game was amazing. If the Wiz fall out of contention early I will place my TV onto the Capitals games because right now they are first in the SOutheast with a 5-3-1 record. Wiz face dTEROIT on Staurday and Caps face Ottawa so i will catch some of one most of the other. Skins of course play Monday night vs Steelers. Caps just finished a 4-3 shootout win over Nashville.

Redskins beat Detroit on great game form Moss and Portis and Cambell

The SKins played great in the 2nd half and did trail this baby at halftime 10-6. but Moss would connect with Cambell for a deep pass of 50 yards and scored a td that puts the SKins up 16-10. Then the SKins play good solid D and Moss goes back to return the punt because Antwann had not been solid that day doin it and guess what Moss does he reuturns the punt 80 yards for another Td the Skins go for two and fail when the should have just kicked the extra point because the kick another FG but it only puts them up 8 not 9. Portis runs for 126 yards and has five staright games of 120 or better. Me and my dad both agreed that on and over under scale for Portis we both picked the over and the number we said was 120 yards. Cambell threw for 328 on 23-28 on score and no picks so halfway through he has not thrown an int he did fumble in this game however he fumbled twice but once Jansen picked up the ball and maintained poseesion. Skins now face Pitsburgh on Monday night and look to go 7-2. I think they should beat Pitsburg No doubt

Redskins finish off Browns for big win

The SKins moved to 5-2 today with a win over the Browns who had just defeated the Giants. the Skins were helped by Portis TD run and a screen that Moss took for a score. The late in the game Cleavland was at the one but Skins stopped them four times in a row to secure whta they thought would now be a victory. Then on the first play form the three Portis runs about 30 yards and gets stripped and fumbles and Browns get possesion with about 5 minutes to play down 14-3. They score a Td and a 2 point conversion then kickoff play D and stop Portis on a 3rd and six in which he gets four. They get the ball back but miss a 54 yarder Fg attempt and lose to the Skins. Portis had 175 yards and still leads the league and Cambell does not throw a single pick threw seven game. ANdre carter gets a sack and the SKins win and now play Detroit. No reciever had more than four catches Moss had 75 yards.

Skins Lose Gimme at Home

I can't believe it, no not my Redskins playing an awful who was it that Rams, %$#@ NO. The Skins had 3 TO in the first half and that made it a game when it should be a blowout. Cooley fubled Rabach threw a bad snap at Cambell and Pete Kendall caught a tipped ball and was trying to run when he got decked and fumbled with the SKins threating to score a TD and make it 14-3 instead 10-7 Rams at the half becasue they returned that fumble for a TD. If only someone could have tackled him. Unbelevable. Portis had another great game running and caught a great screen pass as i think he leads all NFL RB in yards. Randle El caught a huge 3rd down completion on 3rd and 13 and almost ran it in for a TD he was tackled on the one when Portis would score his second TD of the day. Rams RB STeven Jacskon fumbled on his own three which was caused by Marcus Washington and fell on by Laron Landry. Portis ran 21 times for 129 and caughta 12 yarder screen. Clinton has 46 yards more than any back at 643 threw 6 games Michale Turner is 2nd and Peterson form Minnesota is 3rd. Cambell was 18-26 for 208 and no picks. Randel El caught 5 balls for 87. The Skins had two sacks one by Springs and one by Montgomery. ST Louis had 4 sacks and I think getting Heyer back in the starting lineup will help. The Skins had their hands on two picks but neither Landry nor Fletcher could hold on. Skins face Cleavland next week on the road but they need to win and they will if you ask me and I ythink by a large margin.

Redskins Win over another NFC EAST Rival Beat Eagles

The Redskins were in a little bit of hot wtaer as the Eagles scored 7 on their first possesion and Washingotn punted to Deshean Jackson who returned it 68 yards for another score. There was a block in hte back but the officials decided to let it go for some reason. Portis and Cooley had their best games of the season as Portis led all ruunning backs in week 5 with 145 yards on 29 carries avg 5.0. Cooley caught 8 balls for 109 and a TD on a pass thrown by WR Randle El who has very impressive numbers throwing the ball. Brian Westbrook played after being questionable for the game but managed only 33 yards on 12 carries. So after the Redskins trailed 14-0 the rallied for three long FGs and the score at half was 14-9. Then Randle El and Portis were involved in 2 TDs and the Redskins took over leading 23-14. The Eagles would manage anotehr FG but it was not enough as the SKins D held them form getting into the end zone when on 3 and 1 from the 2 Westbrook was gang tackled as Carter blew up FB and the SKins teamed up to drop him for a 3 yard loss. 23-17 was the final as the SKins got the ball back and killed the rest of the clock with 3 first downs one a run by Portis to a run by Campbell on 3 and long and then on 4th and 1 ZOrn said to long for a FG to short for a punt let's go for it and Out of shotgun the Skins ran a draw to Portis the same play he scored a four yard TD on earlier this time he picked up 3 and the SKins did not have to run another play kneeling the ball 3 times for a victory. The Eagles vaunted D had only 1 sack and gave up 203 rushing yards. The O for the SKins once again did not commit a TO and Campbell extended his streak to 175 passes without a INT passing Joe Theismann for the SKins all time recored in that category. No sacks for the SKins but the get Jason taylor Springs and Washingotn back next week vs the Rams who have struggled this year.
