These are pitiful numbers against any team, but even more so against the Rams. That's a very hollow victory.
Red-Zone Efficiency 0-5, 0% 
Passing TDs 0
Rushing TDs 0
Extra Points 0-0 0%

| At least the defense showed up today. It was a brilliant idea to dangle Twinkies and bbq ribs between them and the Rams' offense. Now, if Jimmy and Danny can figure out what will lure our offense onto the field...

| said by stillrunnin  :they suck. With an analysis like that you'll never make it on a sports talk show unless they want to do 29 minutes of commercials.
But yes, that is a very concise description of the Offense right now.

It was actually 0-4 in red-zone efficiency, as the 5th time was when they were taking knees at the end of the game.
And if no touchdowns of any sort are scored, then it only reasonably follows that there will be no rushing touchdowns, no passing touchdowns, and no extra points.
The offense wasn't too bad from a statistical standpoint-- they moved the ball, had some decent passing yards and rushing yards, and a good time-of-possession number.
What they didn't have was points on the scoreboard, and that's just another day at the office for the Washington Redskins.
It's something that seems to have been afflicting the team for several years now.
Scalp 'em, swamp 'em. Touchdown. (Hello??)
We wantum heap more.
But you can't have 'heap more' until you score a first one.
(That's just a note to the Redskins organization, in case they're confused about how that works.) |

| Need to correct you on the Skins song. It goes like this:
Hail to the Redskins
Hail Victory
Braves on the warpath
Fight for ol' DC.
Run and Pass and Score
we want a lot more.
BEAT'EM, SWAMP'EM TOUCHDOWN
LET THE POINTS SOAR
Fight on, Fight on
Till you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton .........
Hail to the Redskins .........
I know you were probably making a joke of it, but it wasn't funny. At least to me. |

The present version is the accepted and only version the Redskins Band has performed since the change. I would know, I was at the games back then and I remember it. |

| Thanks heap much for that info.
You and the Redskins Band sing your version, I'll sing mine.
The original fight song lyrics seem to bother you, yet you apparently have no problem with the name of the team-- a derogatory reference to all Native American peoples of this country. |
