Kevin starts the show with a tongue in cheek prediction of a Wizards season turnaround off their 24-point comeback over the Clippers last night. He follows that up with “Redskins Beat Dallas If….”. Cooley joins the show with answers to what happened on the Alex Smith pick-6, the sack that ended his season, and lots more including a preview of the Dallas game. Scott Van Pelt came on and talked Tiger-Phil, College Football, Skins-Cowboys, Chiefs/Rams, and the day Clint Longley nearly killed his grandfather. Andy Pollin looked back to some memorable Skins-Dallas Thanksgiving Day games and finished up with final score predictions with Kevin.
Thom is excited about his favorite Redskin Colt McCoy getting his chance and both he and Kevin believe there’s a good chance the offense will be more productive with him. Before that though, they discuss the crazy Monday Night Football game and ask if this is the future of the NFL. They also discuss what will constitute success for McCoy over the final 6 games and whether or not that could lead to an offseason quarterback controversy. Then comes Thom’s plea for Ted Leonsis to sell the Wizards!
Kevin recaps the Skins’ 23-21 loss to Houston, the loss of Alex Smith, and the chances with Colt McCoy moving forward. NBC Sports Washington’s JP Finlay joins the show, Kevin goes Around the NFL, and then recaps the Maryland-Ohio State thriller as well as the Wizards painful weekend on Weekend DVR.

ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt talked Skins and a ton of college football with Kevin and then Andy Pollin came on to make Skins-Texans predictions.
Most people agree that the Redskins’ fan base has eroded over the years and most also agree on the primary reasons for it. Thom and Kevin discuss what’s next. What if the Redskins turn into a perennial contender….will those that have left, come back? Thom and Kevin also talk about the Wizards, Jacob deGrom winning the Cy Young and the latest in the Maryland saga. Plus, NFL Power Poll and some follow up to the Skins’ name discussion from yesterday.
Cooley calls in and thinks Alex Smith just played one of his best games. He thinks the Smith and the offense are getting better.
