Burgundy Blogcast

Brent and recurring guest Mike Honcho discuss the Redskins' comfy win in Chicago. Also: the necessity of rooting for the Cowboys, how much to blame Joe Barry, the prospect of facing Seattle again in the playoffs, football messing up Christmas, and eye-rolling at RGIII.

Redskins fans must have been naughty all year because the team delivered a steaming, smelly pile of...coal, on Monday night against the Panthers. It didn't end their playoff hopes, but it didn't leave team's followers very hopeful. Brent and Hayes stay up late to give early takes on yet another L on MNF.

It's hard to tell which emotion Brent is experiencing more strongly: carnal love for Fat Rob Kelley, or the visceral hate he harbors for this Redskins defense. We discuss both, plus laugh a lot, because everyone's happier after a victory.

Who's better? DeSean Jackson or Pierre Garcon?

After a disappointing letdown, it's time to assign blame. Who is truly at fault for today's Burgundy Blogcast coming out late, Brent or Hayes? Also: Washington's 31-23 loss to Arizona.

If the Redskins play on Thanksgiving, then Burgundy Blogcast is recording on Thanksgiving! Brent and Hayes discuss Thursday's loss in Dallas; topics include the return of red-zone futility, Josh Norman's feuds, and Kirk Cousins as the future.

A win in prime-time! In convincing fashion! Over a Hall of Fame QB! Is there anything Washington can't do? Brent and Hayes record one nervous segment at halftime of the victory over the Packers, then debate just how good it felt to get the win in the end. So much to discuss, they forgot to talk about Dan Snyder dancing.

Inside the box? An unorthodox plan for Trent Williams.

How many second-half defensive shutouts must Washington pitch before Brent will consider them a defensive team? Is "Oooo-weeee" as cool as "You like that?!" It's all smiles on the Blogcast after another Washington victory.

Brent enjoyed some vacation during the bye week but made it back to discuss Trent Williams and QB situations around the league. We also look ahead at Washington's next four games to guess what is needed for a playoff push.
