Over the next few weeks, "Shutdown Corner" will pay homage to "Office Space" (TPS reports) as we take a quick look back at each team's 2012 season and a look at what lies ahead for the 2013 offseason. We wrap up the NFC East with the Washington Redskins.
2012 record: 10-6
What went wrong...
There's nothing worse than losing a game that you know you could have won. Based on the early minutes of Sunday night's Seattle-Washington playoff, the Redskins could have won if RG3 hadn't slowly broken down to RG2, RG1 and RG0.5. So you can't really blame Washington for being a bit ticked off...
Mike Shanahan, head coach, Washington Redskins: Shanahan will have the entire offseason to answer questions about his decision to keep Robert Griffin III in the playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks despite the fact that Griffin's already injured knee was clearly bothering him from the end of the...
Rookie running back Alfred Morris ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns as the Washington Redskins closed out the 2012 NFL regular season with a 28-18 win over the Dallas Cowboys to clinch their first NFC East title since 1999. The 10-6 Redskins won seven straight games to close out the regular...
With NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate Robert Griffin sidelined with a sprained knee, Washington Redskins backup QB Kirk Cousins passed for 329 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Leonard Hankerson in his first NFL start as the Redskins cruised to a 38-21 win over the Cleveland Browns on...
As NFL trades go, this might be the best one we've heard since Carroll Rosenbloom traded the Baltimore Colts to Robert Irsay in exchange for the Los Angeles Rams in a tax-free barter back in 1972. According to D.C. Council Finance and Revenue Chairman Jack Evans, some in the nation's capital...
Yesterday, we looked at how Mike and Kyle Shanahan turned receiver motion, blocking schemes, and interior route concepts to create a six-yard touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. Here's the second of the four touchdown passes thrown by Robert Griffin III in that Philly game, a...
For the second straight game, Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III threw four touchdown passes to four different receivers, allowing his team to put up more than 30 points on an NFC East opponent. Washington's 38-31 Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys was not nearly as...
Robert Griffin III had a great Thanksgiving Day. The rookie quarterback for the Washington Redskins lifted his team over the Dallas Cowboys by a final score of 38-31.
On the day, RGIII was 20-for-28 with 311 yards and four touchdown passes. He also had 29 rushing yards.
The Redskins led 28-3...
It's usually easy to tell when an analyst is going off of a box score as opposed to watching a game. I remember reading and listening to several such people panning Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson after he completed just 9 of 23 passes for 122 yards, no touchdowns, and an...
Default LVP Choice That Needs No Further Explanation: The Philadelphia Eagles, from top to bottom.
The Washington Redskins' receivers: Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III came into the Redskins' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers having completed over 70 percent of his passes. In 2011, he...
There is a whole new level for inexcusable penalties after what receiver Josh Morgan did to sabotage the Washington Redskins.
With the Redskins trailing 31-28, Morgan caught a third-down pass and was short of the first down at the Rams' 29-yard line, but the 7 yards Morgan picked up should...
Back in March, the Washington Redskins traded up four spots in the first round of the draft, from the No. 6 pick to No. 2, in order to select Heisman winner Robert Griffin III. The team also dealt away its 2013 and 2014 first-rounders to the Rams, plus this year's No. 39 overall selection.
So...
Hello, please forgive me for being dense when it comes to American football... I need help with planning a vacation to watch the Redskins play at home in Washington. I want it to be a surprise for my husband who is returning from deployment soon. He has had a dream of watching the Redskins play...
