So yes – they did score this week. But they certainly did not win. The 19 – 11 final score is quite deceptive and makes the game seem a lot closer than it actually was. The game started off great with a 16 yard run by Roy Heluuuuuuu. They racked up all of 52 yards for the whole game, so you could say it went downhill from there. The face Coach Shanahan is making in the picture to the right kind of sums it up. Actually neither team did a whole lot of anything during the first quarter.
The second quarter pretty much belonged to the 49ers. They put up 13 straight points and kind of made it look pretty easy. At the end of the first half, Graham Gano kicked a 59 yard field goal. This is a career best for him, is a new Redskin record, and was, by far the offensive highlight of the game.

Third quarter was pretty useless. San Fran hit a field goal – that’s it. Then they hit another one early order in the 4th. The Skins put up some yardage in the 4th quarter and they did score a touchdown. But I think everyone would agree the 49ers kind of rolled over.
So some stats – Beck was 30 for 47 for 254 yards and a TD. He also threw an interception. Generally, he sucked. The numbers look way better than he actually was. Helu was the leading receiver, and actually set a Redskin record with 14 catches (for 105 yards). Defensively, London Fletcher led the team with 7 tackles and 3 assists. D Hall had 6 tackles and 6 assists. Orakpo and Kerrigan both had sacks. Sav Rocca punted the hell out of the ball and I already told you about Graham Gano.

One other thing I want to mention. Chris Hanburger was given his Hall of Fame ring at halftime of this game. He played linebacker for the Redskins from 1965 to 1978 and went into the HOF with the Class of 2011. He was also the next door neighbor of some of my very good friends for a very long time. All around good guy!! Congratulations to #55, Hall of Famer, Chris Hanburger.
