Saints @ Redskins Comcast Red Zone Review

by Kevin Ewoldt on Dec 5, 2009 7:00 AM EST in Redskins Analysis

The Redskins "stat of the week" is brought to you by Comcast and the new NFL Red Zone channel.

The Redskins lead the NFL in red zone efficiency, allowing opponents only eight touchdowns in 25 trips, a 32.0 percent clip.

Last week in Philadelphia, the Redskins stopped the Eagles three times in the red zone, forcing three field goals.

Overall, the defense is ranked eighth in the NFL, 25th against the rush and first against the pass. The unit is 10th in the NFL in points allowed.

The defense also leads the NFL in fourth-down efficiency. The Saints we all know are the #1 offense in the league. Everyone claims the Skins will get blown out, but they have held their ground against the Eagles and Cowboys, who are high powered offenses. Something has to give, and hopefully it's not another ACL.

Redskins Red Zone Statistics 2009
	*Redskins Offense*	*Opponent's Offense*

*Rams*	0-5	1-3
*@Lions*	1-2	1-3
*Buccaneers*	1-3	1-1
*@Panthers*	2-3	2-3
*Chiefs*	0-1	0-2
*Eagles*	2-3	0-0
BYE	-	-
@Falcons	2-2	1-2
Broncos	2-4	0-1
@Cowboys	0-1	1-2
@Eagles	3-4	1-4
Total	15-30	8-25

Comcast is carrying the new NFL Red Zone channel. NFL Red Zone lets you follow all the red zone action on NFL Sunday as it happens. When a team gets inside the twenty, the network cuts to that game. It's a fantasy player's dream.

They don't ever break for commercials and the action literally never stops. They don't just limit it to red zone trips either... I was watching last weekend and they would show any game live if no team happened to be in the red zone. This is probably the best thing ever invented for an NFL fan that's looking for something to flip to when the Eagles game goes to commercials...

What kind of stats you have

for scores of 21+ yards? The Saints lead the league in pass plays over 20 yards and rush plays over 20 yards. Not being cocky. Just curious on the numbers.

Don't forget about our 4th string O-Line

and our average Quarterback. You guys made us look good.

All hyped up about beating the washed up Patriots. Now you guys just barely beat one of the worst teams in the league by a field goal….. In overtime. Talk about over rated…… Ha Ha

Hopefully you guys don’t make it to the Superbowl. It will save you the embarrassment of getting whooped by a real team like the Colts.

Sorry Skins……………….

Wow!

I know you don’t represent the literate and cordial Redskins fans we chatted with before the game. Crawl back in your bottle and stop embarassing yourself by reminiscing over Super Bowls you won 25 years and 10 coaches ago.

I will give them "E" for effort

Had it in their hands and handed it back. Sucks to be a skin fan right now.

It's all in good fun....

Right?

You have to expect it when you come to another team’s blog and start talking trash. No need to develop a condition over it.

Those glory days and championships are ours to remember whenever we like. I don’t feel embarassed about our team’s Superbowl wins no matter how long ago they were.

I would think it’s more embarassing to be 12-0 and making making fun of a 3-9 team. Especially one that you barely won against. What’s there to prove?
