Now 3-0 in the tough stretch!
Redskins are now 4-1.
Next three games:
St. Louis (0-4)
Cleveland (1-3)
at Detroit (0-4)
The Cowboys loss definitely made the Skins' loss easier to swallow. It should also wake the team up. Has to be hard to fire up a team to play the Rams when they were being so pampered with hype over the past two weeks. Romo is also out for four weeks, PacMan is acting up and TO is ready to once again implode. Hopefully all those things combined can cause the Cowpies to spontaneously combust. We are also one game up on the Iggles and I'm not sure that Westbrook is every going to get fully healthy. The Wild Card spot is still ours for the taking and who knows, maybe the Browns can somehow beat the GMen.
Our Prayers have been answered
ASHBURN, Va. (AP)Former league MVP Shaun Alexander signed with the Washington Redskins on Tuesday, part of a flurry of roster activity in which the team ditched its punter, shuffled its safeties and displayed coach Jim Zorns strong ties to his Seattle Seahawks roots.
Alexander, unemployed since being cut by the Seahawks in April, signed a one-year deal to back up NFL leading rusher Clinton Portis. Portis usual backup, Ladell Betts, sprained his knee in Sundays 19-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams and is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks....
Wow, Portis and Alexander? That's mean..Shaun Alexander is now in Washington.

Yeah, but he could still be a great second back to give Portis some rest. They're working him into the offense today, so he's only run twice for 9 yards, but I expect him to get more carries and do a decent job with it.Alexander is nowhere near what he used to be. There was a reason nobody signed him up until now.
