Skins win their first season opener in in six years! (Hey, when you're a Redskins fan, you take your celebrating whenever you can get it...)

The Washington Redskins defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 24-6, in front of an announced crowd of 61,613 people at State Farm Stadium on Sunday.

The win snapped a five-game losing streak in season openers giving the Washington Redskins their first win to open the season in the Jay Gruden Era. The last time the Redskins opened the regular season with a victory was September 9, 2012. Washington defeated the New Orleans Saints on the road, 40-32.

Also an excellent start for the new QB:

Quarterback Alex Smith completed 21-of-30 passes for 255 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions [Gee, no interceptions...what a concept] for a passer rating of 118.1. Smith's passer rating of 118.1 ranks eighth all-time in Redskins history in Week 1 matchups and is the fourth best passer rating among Redskins quarterbacks making their first start with the team.

And they also have something to cheer about in Cleveland...

For the first time in their last 17 attempts, The Cleveland Browns actually managed to complete a regular season football game without losing it!

Of course, they didn't manage to go so far as to actually win it, (you can't have the sun, the moon, and the stars) but as Browns fans say, "A not lose, is a not lose, is a not lose"...

What time is the parade in Cleveland this week?

A banner would also be a nice touch: "WE TIED!"

It was Browns 21, Steelers 21, optimism in Cleveland 21 billion.

In what was a glorious and fun day of football, the center of the NFL universe was, of all places, the losingest, sorriest, most inept, most laughed at, most mocked, most quarterback-deprived place on Earth.

Cleveland has been where football dreams go to die. Now, it is where football dreams go to tie.

Be nice if the Browns had a little success.

Speaking of the Browns, how come nobody is complaining about that team name?

Because they were named for their first head coach, Paul Brown.

Well, then the Redskins should say their team was named after their first head coach's favorite neighbor who coached him before he was a coach, Paul Redskin.

Anyway, I'm still offended. What's offensive is never what they mean by it. It's the terrible thoughts and memories that they stir up in certain people. For me, the name Browns brings to mind the unfair treatment of brown illegal alien people by the Trump administration.

Not to mention that batch of purple-clad racists in Minnesota perpetuating the stereotype that Scandinavians are all a horde of fur-clad, horny-helmeted, ax-wielding barbarians dedicated to violence, rape, pillage, and plunder.

Which is probably why Trump laments that there aren't more Norwegian immigrants — they'd be almost indistinguishable from his current group of hard-core supporters.

Paul Brown's estate should be complaining -- have you seen how bad they've been for so long!

Good point, LR. Maybe it would help to change the name of the team to the Cleveland Blacks.

Fun facts to know and tell:

The Redskins moved their record to 5-2 and are now off to their best start in the first half of the season since starting 5-2 during the 2008 campaign.

The Redskins now hold a 5-1 record against the NFC giving the team its best start against teams in the NFC since 2005.

The Redskins remain atop the NFC East going into Week 9 and are now 2-0 in the division for the first time since 2010.

A one and a two:



You can get used to seeing that...

I expect to be posting it a lot over the next couple of months...

This has a decidedly stereotypical Native American sound to it.

Ugh!

The D.C. team got Falconated this last week, so the universe is righting itself apparently.

Several times this season, (last Sunday was certainly one of them) the 'Skins have apparently chosen a bunch of drunks tailgating out in the stadium parking lot at random and handed them their jerseys to go in and play the game for them...

This must be the case, since these "players" bear absolutely no resemblance to the people who have been on the field in the games they have won...

In fact, it was just a few plays into the Falcon's game when I remarked to those I was watching it with, "Oh geezus, they must have sent in those drunken tailgaters again"...

It may be a nice sort of "audience participation" thing, but it's no way to win football games...

They really need to discontinue the practice...
