Hail to the Redskins! About 50,000 stomped FedexField on Saturday to watch the Redskins scrimmage the Baltimore Ravens. There was no official scoring during the scrimmage , but it was fun to watch the Redskins second team offense scoring with ease. The key play was when Marcus Washington intercepted a pass from Steve McNair and ran the pigskin for a touchdown. The 2006 Redskins seem positioned for big things. Everyone in Washington thinks this could be finally our Super Bowl year. Hail Victory!

Washington Redskins Waken Sleeping New York Giants
After a brilliant first half against division rivals, diehard Redskin fans were whispering to their buddies that Washington could go 13 and 3. "Who would the skins lose to?" asked one. "Maybe New England, maybe Green Bay, and just maybe a scrub game once we get the home field." replied another. After a 17 to 3 halftime lead the defense looked like Super Bowl contenders. Fans were chanting "YOU SUCK!!! And you and you and you" at the New York Giants team as they headed to their locker room pondering what it would be like to be 0 and 3. Then the expectable thing happenned. The Redskins did not get a first down for about 20 minutes of the game trying to run out the clock. Washingon's defense just got tuckered after a really weak offensive performance. This gallery is dedicated to Giants fans living here in the Washington DC area.
