FIRST!

Bye week not until week 10. That's rare for this organization. Hopefully not too many key injuries early on in the season.

How about some REAL Redskins news for a change?

Wouldn't that be 3 out of the first 5 are Division games?

Also, why does Zorn desrve better than the Giants on opening night? I think it will be a great opener for him.

You are truly a trifling hemmy filled butt monkey.

A quick glance, I may have missed, but the rams are the only team we play that is coming off a bye when we play them.

Not including Dallas... we'll BOTH have a bye week prior to playing the 2nd time around.

Nov. 23 Redskins at Seattle (Them? Again?)

PDiddy hosting big party. Woo-hoo!

True that, TE. I'd forgotten about the West Coast shabingus.

This is the first time so long as I can remember we are not playing Tampa.

How about some REAL Redskins news for a change?

I heard that Jerome Mathis getting along fine with the guys, everyone has been real welcoming ... except Rock Cartwright, who repeatedly has been hiring strippers to show up at the door when Mathis' lady is home. Also, Rock has been filling out tons of magazine subscription postcards to Mathis' house with "bill me later" checked.

NO BUCS...finally.

As I'm starting to stress about Caps/Flyers tonight-this is a nice diversion. And nmcray-you're right no Bucs but watch we'll play them in the playoffs!

Is this the pregnant one? The one he was accused (or not) of choking? She might want the strippers to keep Mathis off her. And hopefully some of the magazines are those ones for new mothers. "Baby's first week at home" sort of stuff.

Yes indeed...plan on another shabingus in Seattle.

++++Once again, Jasno gets no insider info and can't manage to get us the schedule early. Here ya go, courtesy of extremeskins:

12/20 @ SF...

Hey, Rocket Surgeon.

You're right. Jasno sure as hell didn't have THIS scoop.

By Golly, the Redskins play the Iggles four days before Christmas, and THEN, after Superman turns the Earth backwards, they have to play the 49ers FIVE days before Christmas.

You have so nailed it TALKSHOWHOST...Jasno is an Idjit. He don't know about time travel...or TWO GAMES ON TWO DAYS or any of that good stuff which you posted, after getting it from EXTREMESKINS which got it from the Redskins official radio mouthpiece...which GOT IT WRONG!!!

Now go back to your remedial PROOFREADING course.

Sooooooo easy to criticize the media, aint it?

This schedule is awful! The NFL sure does make it hard for some teams to be successful. (You can be sure that Jerry Jones and Bob Kraft got exactly the schedule they wanted.) What do the Redskins get? A 6-10 "thank you" from the league.

3 of the last 4 on the road. Brutal scheduling by the league. What the #$F?

I am really unhappy with the lay out of this thread. Very unprofessional. It looks like it was thrown together as fast as possible.

(tongue in cheek)

I will continue to chum the waters...

I can't wait!

Baltimore is on A road, but it doesn't seem like an away game ... the kind that is on THE road.

Sure, that's a deal. I will be 6-10 from now on.

If TSH is a "rocket surgeon" then what are you, God? You sure make it seem that way, the way you look down on all of us. OH MIGHTY CORKCZAR!!!! I have nothing against the regulars but there are people like you who make me want to vomit all over my monitor.

"Sooooooo easy to criticize the media, aint it?"

No its not easy to criticize the media or you. But I, like you, do enjoy it, jackass.

Not many Monday/Sunday night games on there. Maybe we'll get some flex boosts because that sucks for those of us who can't afford Sunday Ticket and live out of market.

The Skins bye week is the same as Dallas' bye week ... then we face each other the following week ... at night ... on the teevee ... they will be here AND be square.

We got 3 primetime games, about as many as we usually get. Go to a bar that has the ticket on Sundays.

This blog has unfairly categorized the schedule. The Redskins are not the owners of the schedule; rather, they are shareholders in a league where the schedule is made. The Redskins will continue to play games and expand parking costs when other teams are trying to cut costs and make it easier for fans to come to games. In an industry where others are contracting, the Redskins are expanding.

Further, to say that Ceradoh and Zorn are overmatched is unfair. Simply because neither is qualified for his position doesn't mean the team will draft a chooch at 21. The team will mismanage the draft on its own merit.

We here at Redskins Park are frankly disappointed with the assertions of the Washington Post and its blog readers.

hey corky, sorry for not proofreading the text from the links to other articles. I was trying to post something for everyone to discuss here. we've got to have somethign to discuss, as we never know when we will get anything. jasno needs to offer some kind of olive branch to the skins and maybe he'll get some sources again and he can feed us with some info.

Your rant did make me laugh though. you're like what p00lman would be if the doctors at the asylum took him off the medication. and i don't mean that as an insult. p00lmans maniacal posts always brings a smile to my face.

JLC bit that hand that feeds him and now the Insider has no inside sources.

I taught JLC everything he knows about Football!

bow down, rock clown

dcsween, thanks for the info on the dallass game. not too often we see two division rivals play eachother after BOTH of them have their bye week, let alone on national TV. That game is going to be INTENSE. Game of the year.

This is Dan Snyder's fault. Poor management has lead to the Redskins having to play at least 16 games this year.

Playoffs!! You're talking about playoffs?

Ok let's not get carried away so early and talk about how tough the schedule is as we know...teams change from year to year and a tough game last year may not be this year and vise versa...and as usual I expect our so called local experts too say right off the bat 5-11, 6-10 or 7-9 guess these are the same folks who will always say the glass is half empty. No why you can't believe them or any others? Not a won predicted New England to go undefeated in the regular season and not a one had the Giants in let alone winning the Superbowl...it's a crap shoot every year. So the way I see it we got just as good a chance as anyone else.

fake Maske,
I don't necessarily mean that stuff but the guy keeps tabs on the entire NFL and I rarely hear any funny stories from over there. Do some self promotion. Get your face out there more. Have you tried a publicity stunt? I bet if you stood in the middle of independance avinue at rush hour wearing a diper and a football helmet holding a 3'-4' banner that said NFL Insider WashingtonPost.com that people would start to go to your site more.

http://ezinearticles.com/?True-Stories-of-Cheating-Wives&id=457910

Cheating Wife 1

A man notices his wife of twenty three years changes from being computer illiterate to an Internet addict in a matter of six months. His trust for her made him ignore the long hours she spent online with her "new friends" and even sending them gifts. Later on, her time for their children suffered too. It turned out she became obsessed with other men, even male prostitutes who solicit online.

His wife had become a totally different woman, influenced by the dark and perverted world she had embraced. She left her husband and family but not before doing as much damage as she can, making hideous accusations and horrid remarks to other family members.

---------------------------------------------------

I still have nightmares about that fretful night I ventured downstairs, only to see my wife screaming "GIVE IT TO ME NOW HAMSTERS!!!!" at the screen with La Canfora's face on it. He had this nerdy looking smile with some hideous tie to match.

being told to lighten up by beantown greg on RI is like being told to drink less by an alcoholic....

Jason LaCanfora...normally you do an excellent job, but this is the worst reporting I've ever seen you do. Even I know that the 1st FIVE out of five games are conference games, not 3 out of 5. Heck, the 1st six out of six games are conference games!

Who is the editor? The editor screwed up too. He/she should have noticed this.

Whateves cl..

uh evan, The editor IS the one who did this post.

three of the first five are division games... big freakin' whoop that Cindy wrote "conference" when she meant "division."

the main thing: 16 out of 16 are FOOTBALL GAMES. only four months 'til kickoff, people! yeeeeehaw!

If the maroon and black can somehow pull off just one of those early division roadies, we might be able to make something of this season.

3-2 after Philly
6-3 at the Bye
10-6 overall

Wishful thinking I'm sure...

I see us being 7-9. I think we'll be 3-9 and then win the last four.

my opinion, the key to this season (unlike the Gibbsian era) will be within the first 5 games of the year. @NYG, @PHI, and @DAL all within the first 5 games. Those road divisional matchups could set the tone for a VERY successful season. Let's hope Zorny is on his game from the get-go.

Posted by: psps23 | April 15, 2008 4:34 PM

wow i'm a little late to this party, huh.

Ricky Bobby, dude, your presence has been requested at the June 7 blog meet-up! You're a legend up here, so you oughta be there.

Drop me a line at nateinthepdx at gmail dot com so I can take this shameless begging off blog, provide details and maps, etc.

Thanks.

The hope here is that the Jints are "feelin' themselves" in that home opener and Zorn and Blache smuggle in a very different ballclub on offense and defense which -- after the flyover and fireworks and ring ceremony and pomp and circumstance and the singin' sergeant and all that other garbage -- punches them in the nose and takes their lunch money and gives their delightful home fans something to boo about.

Nate,
There is a map?

Does it lead to treasure?

RICKY BOBBY! Seconding what the "anonymous" poster at 4:37pm said!

RB, we can have chicken from Popeyes at the meet-up, if that sweetens the deal at all.

The New York Giants have just announced a trade of their entire starting roster (except for Eli) to the New York Jets for the Jets 2nd string roster, in an effort to cut costs and build the cities fan base for the historically no. 2 rated franchise.

You would have to dig up Jimmy Hoffa first to do that. Or are you burying it in the new stadium.

Alex, there are tons of maps available, dude, and all of them lead to treasure.

But it's a metaphoric treasure, the realization that what is most valuable is love, and stuff like that, the good stuff inside each of us, and between all of us, and such as. Really high concept stuff, and real classy, too, befitting the blog.

Or maybe they lead to Ben's Chili Bowl.

Hey,

Can you guys go watch badminton, or lacrosse, or synchronized pinball? Or something? Insulting each other because you don't like their meaningless predictions for next season (or their meaningless predictions for the draft, or coach, or.....) is starting to get old. Nobody has any idea how hard the schedule will be, who will end up being a star player, how the new offense will work, or anything else. I'm pretty sure that's why they play the games. So watch baseball for the next 4.5 months and wait until real games start to get worked up. Then you can fling insults in broken English to your heart's content.

Easiest schedule the Skins have had in years -- but we knew that before we got the dates. The AFC division we play is one of the weaker ones. The NFC division we play is one of the weaker ones.

The schedule isn't going to make the Skins 6-10.

The Skins made a choice not to upgrade the team in the offseason. Instead, they made a choice to go in a different direction. An odd mix of rebuilding and continuity, nominally divided up between offense and defense. Plus they had a lot of momentum from the team leadership, and that was replaced.

The Skins may go 6-10 ... but it won't be because the schedule is too tough.

even though I am prolly caught up in your slap down, groundhogguy....I love it...couldn't agree more...

I'll make cHris larRY eat tofu and drink beet juice in DC on June 7

ewwwww I never drink another man's beet juice.....

I love:

- late bye

- no thanksgiving day game

- playing detroit

- no bucs

- good down year to get ravens

Dont love:

- the travel

- that I cant be at the Seattle meet-up

- That Chad Johnson gets a revenge game on his former team..

- Steelers on MNF

- playing on opening Thursday

I cant wait for the redskins at seattle. not only will it be interesting to see how zorn will do in seattle, but becouse they have kept us from progressing in the playoffs in 2005 and 2007. the bastards!!!!

I'm making a fresh vat of Kool Aid. . . it's been too long.

I boldly/stupidly/foolishly/with gusto/ballsly/wearing burgundy colored glasses predict that we will go 10-6 maybe even 11-5.

Based purely on it being April, I've deliberately gone cold turkey on fubol for a few months so I can replenish my silly, naive, Kool Aid swiggin' view on our beloved Skins.

Oh and Dec 28 at SF - I shall be there unless armageddon or the equivalent get in my way.
I'm happy to "host" another west coast shabingus to pair with Seattle.

The only problem I have is that we get Seattle on the road! Damn, how many times do we play at Starbucks field????

As I've been MIA - is there any kind of consensus amongst the hamsters about the draft?
Every time I tune into the 'news' I hear different things from WR to DE to DB to O-line.

Do we have a dream pick like TheRon?

Let's see who we draft before I start making predictions about their final record next year.

The opener will be huge! Barring pre-season injuries, our O-Line will be tested early, which is a good thing. Normally, I would be skeptical with a new coach, but the Redskins have many returning players, and a defensive scheme in tact. Zorn may bring more of an open offense. The Redskins have a chance to make the playoffs this season. Barring major injuries, I can't see them being in the basement of the NFC East.

They must draft well though.

The Browns get FIVE prime time games, including THREE Monday night games. I think U.S. Americans may have found ourselves a new "America's team" ... or, at least, it won't be Dallas anymore. Nothing inspires pride in America, and fear in the hearts of any opposing team, like an all-orange helmet. [I mean, you look at it and ask, "how much more orange could it be?" ... none more orange.]

I don't know Jasno from Adam, and whatever the reason, the Blog is in a slump. The inmates are running the Asylum.

But what Jasno needs to do is not offer "an olive branch" but develop some new sources, or wake up his old ones.
