Coaching From The Couch®

With the last game of the regular season upon them, the Washington Redskins find themselves heading into another offseason without a playoff appearance, and a plethora of off the field issues to sort out. With the release of Pro Bowl alternate safety DJ Swearinger due to his recent public criticism of defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, and the arrest of safety Monte Nicholson, the Redskins find themselves down at that position. It seems like the Redskin organization just “can’t get right” when it comes to keeping business in-house, and staying drama free. I’m not going to focus on that though. I’m going to do exactly what the Redskin players and coaches should be doing and that’s focus on w

The Washington Redskins walk into a virtual win or go home game this Saturday against the Tennessee Titans. At 7-7, and coming off a last second field goal win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Redskins have a chance to increase their odds of solidifying a playoff spot with a win this week in Nashville. With only two games remaining this season, the Redskins’ chances are slim at winning the division, but if the Minnesota Vikings lose, and the Redskins win both this week and next week, they are in the playoffs. There is no looking ahead for this team though. Each week, they continue to add to the already endless list of names on the injury report. At least on the offensive side of the foo

The Washington Redskins simply look as though they have shut down for the remainder of the season. There is no other way to say it. As the season has gone on, they have continued to regress on both sides of the football and beyond that the off the field drama seems to be taking precedence over winning football games. The offense is in disarray and the defense has gone from a top 5 caliber to one of the worst in the league. Last Sunday, the Redskins got absolutely demolished down 40-0 until the fourth quarter against a struggling New York Giant football team without their all-pro wide receiver. Despite the beating they took last week, and their current four game losing streak, the Redskins ar

If you didn’t know better, Washington Redskins fans would think their season was over and there was no hope for them to win the division or make the playoffs as a Wild Card. With all the drama and injuries compounded by a three game losing streak, it may be hard for Skins’ supporters to find the silver lining in these recent transgressions. Despite losing three straight games, two quarterbacks, and being forced to start a quarterback who last took a snap in January 2017, the Redskins still remain very much in the Wild Card hunt, and are only one game out of the division lead. This week, they face a New York Giant football team that has been playing a more inspired brand of football lately. T

The Washington Redskins are currently on the outside looking in regarding the current NFC playoff picture as a result of their Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys. That loss and another Dallas victory against the New Orleans Saints has put them in second place in the NFC East as they face the Philadelphia Eagles this week on Monday Night Football. Philadelphia is 5-6, and coming off a tough division victory against the New York Giants last week. The Eagles despite their record are still numerically alive for a NFC Wildcard spot, and with a win this week will be only one game out of the division lead with four games remaining. The Washington Redskins have lost two games in a row for t
