The Redskins had a blip on special teams early in this game when Marc Mariani returned a punt 87 yards for a TD but then they tightened up especially on D.  Donovan McNabb had one of his best games of the year last week when he completed 30 of 50 passes for 376 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  Keiland Williams led the way on the ground for the Redskins in this game with 68 yards rushing on 23 carries (3.0 ypc).  He also caught 6 passes for 27 yards (4.5 avg) in this game.  Santana Moss (6 rec, 106 yards, TD) and Chris Cooley (7 rec, 91 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Skins.  The Redskins finished up with 107 yards rushing on 33 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 30 of 50 passes for 358 yards as they possessed the ball for 40:09.

The Redskins’ D was protected by the offense as the Titans only had the ball for 26:34.  The Redskins also bent on D without breaking keeping them completely out of the end zone offensively.  The Titans finished up with 151 yards rushing on 25 carries (6.0 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 25 passes for 222 yards.  The Redskins are now 5-5 on the season.

The Redskins never had a chance last night as they were down 28-0 after the first quarter and 45-14 at the half.  Donovan McNabb was a tad off last night against his old team as he completed 17 of 31 passes for 295 yards with 2 TD passes and 3 INTs (one of which was returned 40 yards for a TD by Eagles’ CB Dimtri Patterson).  Keiland Williams got the start at RB and he was solid in carrying the ball 16 times for 89 yards (5.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs and he also caught 4 passes for 50 yards (12.5 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Fullback Darrel Young carried the ball 1 time for 16 yards and he also caught 1 pass for 3 yards with a TD grab.  Anthony Armstrong (3 rec, 83 yards) and Fred Davis (1 rec, 71 yards) led the way in the air for the Redskins.  The Redskins finished up with 105 yards rushing on 18 carries (5.8 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 31 passes for 270 yards despite only possessing the ball for 21:49.

LB London Fletcher (13 tackles) and safety LaRon Landry (9 tackles, 1 pass defensed) led a overall very poor effort by the D.  The Eagles rushed for 260 yards on 38 carries (6.8 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 28 passes for 332 yards.  The Redskins are now 4-5 on the year.

Detroit Lions 37, Washington Redskins 25

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Game Recaps,General Redskins Talk by admin on Monday 1 November 2010 at 2:45 pm

Things were looking good for the Redskins when Brandon Banks returned a kickoff 96 yards for a TD to give them a 25-20 lead with 8:05 left in the game.  But that’s when the roof caved in for the Redskins as the Lions scored the last 17 points of the game.  Donovan McNabb was so-so in this game as he completed 17 of 30 passes for 210 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT yesterday.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 45 yards (11.3 ypc) yesterday before being yanked late in the 4th quarter with the Skins down 31-25.  On Rex Grossman’s first play he fumbled and DT Ndamukong Suh picked it up and returned it 17 yards for a TD to pretty much end this  game.  Grossman completed 4 of 7 passes for 44 yards in the 4th quarter for the Redskins.  Ryan Torain carried the ball 9 times for 10 yards (1.1 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 19 yards (6.3 avg) with a TD grab before leaving the game with a injured hammy.  Keiland Williams finished up the game by carrying the ball 6 times for 25 yards (4.2 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught 3 passes for 28 yards (9.3 avg).  Anthony Armstrong (3 rec, 92 yards), Santana Moss (6 rec, 56 yards) and Chris Cooley (4 rec, 48 yards) led the way for the Redskins in the passing game yesterday.  The Redskins finished up with 80 yards rushing on 19 carries (4.2 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 37 passes for 195 yards.

The Redskins’ D was so-so yesterday.  LB Rocky McIntosh (9 tackles), Safety Kareem Moore (8 tackles, 1 pass defensed), Safety LaRon Landry (8 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss and 2 passes defensed) and CB DeAngelo Hall (6 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception) led the way for the Skins’ on D in this game.  The Lions finished up with 102 yards rushing on 25 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 45 passes for 202 yards in this game.

Brandon Banks was outstanding for the Redskins in this game.  He returned 6 kickoffs for 213 yards (35.5 avg) with a 96-yard TD return.  He also returned 5 punts for 58 yards (11.6 avg) as Banks kept giving the Redskins’ O good starting position.

The Redskins are now 4-4 on the year after this disappointing loss.

The Redskins won this game with defense today which has not been the strong point of the team until this game.  CB DeAngelo Hall was a one man wrecking crew in this game for the Redskins.  Hall had 7 tackles, he defensed 4 passes and he had 4 interceptions (one of which he returned 92 yards for a TD to give the Redskins the lead for good).  Rocky McIntosh (8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit), London Fletcher (8 tackles, 1 fumble recovery) and Adam Carriker (2 tackles, fumble recovery) also had big games for the Skins on D today.  The Bears finished up with 66 yards rushing on 16 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 40 passes for 256 yards today.

Donovan McNabb wasn’t too good in this game as he completed 17 of 32 passes for 200 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 INTs (Bears’ CB returned one of the pickoffs 54 yards for a TD).  Ryan Torain had a solid game for the Redskins once again with 21 carries for 125 yards (6.0 ypc).  Santana Moss (5 rec, 63 yards) and Chris Cooley (7 rec, 52 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Skins today.  The Redskins finished up with 121 yards rushing on 28 carries (4.3 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 32 passes for 187 yards.  The Redskins improve to 4-3 on the year with this big road win.

The Redskins just weren’t quite good enough to beat the Colts last night.  But they fought hard just falling a tad short.  Donovan McNabb completed 29 of 45 passes for 246 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 INTs.  Ryan Torain was very solid on the ground with 20 carries for 100 yards (5.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  Rookie RB Keiland Williams had 2 carries for 12 yards (6.0 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 19 yards (4.8 avg) with a TD grab.  Santana Moss (8 rec, 77 yards), Anthony Armstrong (5 rec, 46 yards) and Chris Cooley (5 rec, 37 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Redskins last night.  The Redskins finished up with 113 yards rushing on 24 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 29 of 45 passes for 222 yards.

Linebacker London Fletcher led the way for the Skins on D last night with 14 tackles and 1 pass defensed.  Safeties Reed Doughty (12 tackles) and LaRon Landry (11 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 1 fumble recovery) also were very busy yesterday for the Skins.  OLB/DE Andre Carter and CB Byron Westbrook each recovered a fumble in this game for the Skins last night.  The Colts finished up with 170 yards rushing on 29 carries (5.9 ypc) and they also completed 25 of 38 passes for 299 yards.  The Redskins are now 3-3 on the year.

The Redskins’ D gave up a lot of yards in this game but they were bending but not breaking.  Safety LaRon Landry led the way for the Redskins today with 13 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed, 1 QB hit and a interception in OT that set up kicker Graham Gano for the 33-yard game winning field goal.  CB DeAngelo Hall (12 tackles) and OLB Brian Orakpo (3 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 3 QB hits) also had big impacts in this game for the Skins.  The Packers finished up with 157 yards rushing on 17 carries (9.2 ypc) and they completed 27 of 46 passes for 270 yards.

Donovan McNabb led the Redskins’ offense to a lot of yards on offense but like the Packers they had trouble putting points on the ball.  McNabb completed 26 of 49 passes for 357 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 10 yards (2.5 ypc) today.  Ryan Torain got the start at RB and he found yardage hard to come by.  Torain carried the ball 16 times for 40 yards (2.5 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 27 yards (6.8 avg).  Santana Moss (7 rec, 118 yards), Anthony Armstrong (3 rec, 84 yards, TD) and Chris Cooley (7 rec, 69 yards) led the way for the Redskins in the passing game.  The Redskins finished up with 51 yards rushing on 21 carries (2.4 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 49 passes for 322 yards.  The Redskins are now 3-2 on the year.

Donovan McNabb didn’t have to win this game on his own as the Redskins ran the ball well and the defense was lowering the boom on Eagles’ players.  McNabb completed 8 of 19 passes for 125 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 5 times for 39 yards (7.8 ypc) in this game.  Clinton Portis was playing well before he got injured.  He carried the ball 11 times for 55 yards (5.0 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 26 yards (13.0 avg).  Ryan Torain replaced Portis and he was effective too with 18 carries for 70 yards (3.9 ypc) with a TD run.  TE Chris Cooley (2 rec, 37 yards, TD) and Anthony Armstrong (1 rec, 57 yards) both helped out McNabb in the passing game.  The Redskins finished up with 169 yards rushing on 35 carries (4.8 ypc) and they also completed 8 of 19 passes for 124 yards.

The Redskins knocked Michael Vick out of this game early and then they came after Kevin Kolb who looked rusty.  LB London Fletcher led the way for the Redskins in this game with 12 tackles.  LB Rocky McIntosh (8 tackles, 1 pass defensed), CB DeAngelo Hall (INT) and safety Kareem Moore (fumble recovery) also pitched in for the Skins on D in this game.  The Eagles finished up with 110 yards rushing on 25 carries (4.4 ypc) and they also completed 27 of 42 passes for 243 yards.  The Redskins are now 2-2 on the year.

Houston Texans 30, Washington Redskins 27 in OT

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Game Recaps,General Redskins Talk by admin on Monday 20 September 2010 at 4:23 pm

The Redskins were winning this game 27-10 with 3:51 left in the third quarter before a gigantic meltdown.  Graham Gano missed a 52-yard field goal in OT and then the D gave the game away.  Donovan McNabb was outstanding in this game for the Redskins as he completed 28 of 38 passes for 426 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Clinton Portis didn’t get much going on the ground in this game for the Skins as he carried the ball 13 times for 33 yards (2.5 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  WR Santana Moss (10 rec, 89 yards), WR Joey Galloway (3 rec, 88 yards) and TE Chris Cooley (3 rec, 64 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Skins last week.  The Redskins finished up with 18 yards rushing on 17 carries (1.1 ypc) and they also completed 28 of 38 passes for 403 yards.

The Redskins had 4 players with 10+ tackles in this game and they still gave up 526 yards to the Texans.  Reed Doughty (14 tackles, 1 pass defensed), Rocky McIntosh (14 tackles), DeAngelo Hall (13 tackles) and LaRon Landry (11 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed, 1 sack and 3 QB hits) were the busy bodies on D for the Skins yesterday.  The Texans finished up with 58 yards rushing on 24 carries (2.4 ypc) and they also completed 38 of 52 passes for 468 yards.  The Redskins are 1-1 on the year as they have won a game they should have lost and lost a game they should have won.
