On the Redskins, halfway through the season

We’re halfway through the season and the Redskins are 3-4 going into today’s game against the 49ers at Washington.  I’m crossing my fingers for a win today, but after last week’s game (9 sacks!), I don’t know if it’s realistic.

Beck’s not a bad quarterback, but the injuries to the offensive line don’t give him any time to throw the ball.  Even when he does have time, I’m pretty sure the other teams in the league have figured out Kyle Shanahan’s play calling.  Add that to the injuries to Hightower and Moss, blown coverage in the defense (other than Fletcher), and the team may be on the way to a 4-12 season.  Top of the NFC East seems so long ago…

Still, “Hail to the Redskins!

    I have no opinions on football. But thought I'd leave a comment since I found you on my RSS feeder alive. Glad you're alive and doing well. Cheers!

    Thanks for the comment. Still alive and kicking, though less time for blogging than I used to have.

    Nicholas, thanks for the insightful analysis of the Redskins’
    performance halfway through the season. It’s been a tough ride for sure, with injuries and defensive issues taking a toll on the team’s overall performance.
    You’re right, the offensive line has been struggling, and
    it’s clear that other teams have caught on to Kyle Shanahan’s
    play calling. It’s a shame to see the team potentially heading for a 4-12 season, especially after such a
    promising start. However, I’m still rooting for the Redskins
    and hoping for a turnaround in the second half of
    the season. Hail to the Redskins indeed!
