2009 Season Opponents Announced

As we get ready for the post season and looking forward to the 2009 season, the NFL has released the full slate of opponents for the Redskins next year.

Home Games will be against: Dallas, New York Giants, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Denver, Kansas City and St. Louis

Away Games will be against: Dallas, New York Giants, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Carolina, Oakland, San Diego and Detroit

Looks like a fairly even season in terms of opposition if we use this season as a gauge. Of course, all of that changes when the new season kicks off.

My predictions going forward will be posted as we get past the superbowl!

Detroit Perfection Shirts Are Here!

Ok everyone.  The first of our Detroit Lions Perfection Shirts has arrived!

Check it out:

These are on sale now in the Hog Shop for a limited time.  We have a few more designs to put out there for you, but this is a preview taste!  Let's show our support to a team that proved you CAN lose every game in one season.  

8-8, a hard way to finish out

Well Skins fans, we lost a big one in San Francisco.  I give all the credit in the world to Hill and Coach Singletary for sticking it out and making something out of nothing.  After the 49ers pitiful 2nd and 3rd quarters, it would have been easy to pack it in, and go home for a few months.  But they stuck it out and showed us that our secondary was sleeping.

I admire everything the Redskins and Coach Zorn have accomplished this season, and if you think back to the preseason, we didn't underperform according to most everyone's prediction.  At best, we were predicted to win 9 games....that's at BEST!!!  We came up at .500 on the season with a first year head coach, the fourth offensive system for our QB and frankly, I'm proud of these Redskins!

They fought through injury, turmoil, and turnover at the top.  They never quit, never gave up and if 8-8 is a lousy season, I'd love to see a good one.  We're not the Lions, we're not the Chiefs, we won some big games this year and sparks of greatness were shown.  I applaud every player and coach on that team for a great year!  Of course, the post season would have been nice, but 8-8 is amazing for a coach that's never been in that leadership role before.

Congratulations to our 2008 Washington Redskins.  A turnover here, a touchdown there, and we'd be talking about a Superbowl....but all in all a great season, and I'm looking forward to improvement for 2009!

Hold your heads up high DC.....you have nothing to be ashamed of!  HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!

PERFECTION!!!!!!!

With apologies to Rod Marinelli and the players...

Detroit has finally made history!  It was a long time in the making, and they worked hard to achieve this dream, but Detroit is now the proud owner of the WORST record ever in the history of Pro Football!

How do you not win ONE game?  You can blame the owner, the president, the gm, the coach....but damn....how do you go completely winless!!!?????

Anyways, check back soon for some Perfect Season tees you can purchase to commemorate the occasion.  

I don't wish this on anyone, but since it happened, I'm going to pile it on.

Zorn on the way out...mark my words

As much as I hate to say it, I think Jim Zorn is coaching his last game this Sunday vs. the 49ers.

Cerrato has made the death statement, "Why wouldn't he be back?" Didn't we hear similar statements regarding Marty Schottenheimer, Norv Turner and Steve Spurrier????

2 were fired, Spurrier however, left with his tail between his legs and has since been the bane of the SEC.

Jim, I think you're doing a fantastic job, and I want you back next year and beyond! You brought something to this team that no other coach has since the days before multi-million dollar contracts.

My Christmas wish is that we continue to keep Zorn and his staff firmly in place for many years to come. Just upgrade some line positions on O and D and we'll be JUST FINE!!!!!

Remembering Sammy

Hey Everyone,

Here at HogsOfOldDC, we feel for Sammy Baugh and his family during their time of grief.  Sammy suffered from Alzheimer's and I personally know what that's like.

My own Mother passed away from complications due to Alzheimer's.  In memoriam of Sammy, and my Mother's undying love for all things Redskin, I have designed a tee to recognize Sammy's passing.

Every sale of this shirt guarantee's a $5 donation to the Alzheimer's foundation in my Mother's name:  Joneta Mothershead.  She is THE reason I am a Redskin fan, and THE reason I am who I am today.  Sammy might even be getting an earful from her as we speak!  :)

This sale profits HogsOfOldDC.com less than $1 per shirt.  We are NOT TRYING TO PROFIT from this sale.  This is strictly in memory of the ONLY Redskin to ever have his number retired and in the memory of my Mother...the smallest woman EVER to root BIG for the Redskins!
