The Redskin Report

Like everyone else, I’m depressed today.  The Redskins could have, and probably should have, won this past weekend against Dallas, but consistently found ways to fall just shy of what they needed to do, allowing Dallas to stick around long enough to take the lead, and then grind out a Marion Barber loss for the Skins.  Later this season, this may be the game that costs us a playoff spot; it’s definitely the game that cost us (almost certainly) the NFC East.  On the other hand, as far as the Pigskin Pick’em is concerned, many folks had decent weeks.  Leading the way, with 12 wins each, were TheDudesRug and A. Fishman’s Picks.  That qualifies for this weeks Props for the week.  A full dozen other players managed to pull out 11 wins, as well, so for many of the pickers, it was a good week.

Upset pick of the week this week is Dallas beating us; sure, I could go with Cleveland’s upset of Buffalo, or Atlanta’s loss to Denver, but let’s face it, that’s the upset that upsets us the most.  Three players thought Dallas would beat our Redskins, earning this weeks Upset Pick of the Week Kudos.  Those players are El Gaupo, I miss Schroeder to Bryant, and theofilidies.  Kudos guys.

Last but not least, we have our weekly leaderboard.  There’s not that much change at the very top of the leaderboard, as the players in the top three were in the same position last week, though the race has tightened slightly.  Leading the way, with 101 points, is Hot Stuff Coming Through, closely followed by chris horton hears a who with 100, and A. Fishman’s Picks at 99.  It’s still tight at the top, though, as fully 13 more players are within 10 wins of the leaderboard; it’s still very much up in the air as to who will win, as no one has pulled away from the pack and achieved separation.  Kudos to our season leaders, though!  Remember, we have yet another Thursday night NFL game this week on NFL network, so get that Thursday game in early.
