[quote=SmootSmack;746501]Forget this imaginary Super Bowl Kool-Aid you speak of. Do you not appreciate at all that we have won back-to-back key games? That we are 2-0 in the division? That these are games that in the past the players, like the fans, would have given up on after the 1st quarter? Do you not see the positives of the season so far? Do you not realize that before you even play in the Super Bowl you have to make the playoffs and to make the playoffs you have to win games? Does none of that even remotely resonate with you?[/quote]

Smoot,
You sound a bit like JoeRedskin. Take that however you want :D

Re: Redskins-Packers, Best and Worst
 

[quote=calia;746508]A win is a win, and being 3-2 is a lot better than 2-3 (and we could easily have been 4-1). All of this is pretty positive, and this team does seem to have the will to win, which is unquestionably a change from recent years.

What's troubling me most is our O-line and our D (which are obviously related in that the failure to sustain drives puts our D on the field a lot). But we have shown flashes and shown improvement during games and over the course of the season.

Our team D is last -- dead last -- in the league in yards per game. But we're 9th in the league in points given up. At some point, those yards per game are going to translate into some real points (which hasn't been the case in a couple of games we've played -- yesterday's being a good example), and we don't have the offensive power to score tons of points. So unless we can get better at the O-line somehow (blocking schemes, getting the ball out faster, getting our running game going), if our D will continue to give up these kinds of yards, we're going to start coming up short more often than not.

I do trust, however, that we have good coaches who can figure this out within the limits of the talent we have on the team. And winning a game like this one should give us confidence that we really can play with anyone.[/quote]

The Saints last year were 25th in total D, but 13th in points allowed. That seems to be the model we are following. We are living by the turnovers, and so far being successful creating and taking advantage of them (mostly). We also have played some very good teams (Rams excluded) and held them in check points wise, this is a better test than last year's 0fers that we ended up looking incompetent against

Re: Redskins-Packers, Best and Worst
 

The Best: Winning a hard-fought game in overtime!

The Worst: Negative people who can't enjoy a win and bring me down by nit-picking the ever-lovin' shit out of everything about it.

I am an unabashed Redskins fan and homer from the "Just win, Baby!" school of football. If our untalented but scrappy team manages to luck into enough wins, we'll go to the playoffs, as unworthy as we may be on paper. And I'll love it! Meanwhile, there will be some much more talented teams with cleaner uniforms sitting at home during the playoffs.

Football is played on the field. At the end of the game, the scoreboard tells you who is the better team. The game isn't decided by who has the better looking roster.

I know we're building and that many other teams have more talent than we do. But I'll tell you this: whoever beats us had better bring it on the day they play us because they're in for a fight. Right now, what more can we fans ask of our team?

People are accusing me of not being happy with a win when I'm just keeping stuff in one of the two perspectives that matter. But hey, I could go back to the naive times when I thought we were going to make it after the 2008 season and hopelessly optimistic for every game, because that seems like the only way to not get ostracized.

Yes, the "Jason Campbell" perspective in which we hype up everything and brush aside flaws after win and go all emo after a loss. When the team goes 8-8, you'll see the hype is all for naught.

I wouldn't have a big problem with 8-8. A 4 game improvement? I'll take that.

Where is all this hype you keep talking about?? Seems like you're talking to yourself on that.

JC isn't here man, move on.

Re: Redskins-Packers, Best and Worst
 

Me keeping things in perspective does not mean I did not get a thrill from beating the Packers when Gano drilled it through the uprights. That doesn't mean that I'm going to turn a blind eye to all the flaws on the team Apparently, you all can't seem to get that.

He could be a cool guy to hang out with and get some wings...but on the air, I can't stand him. His voice, his views, his ego/personality and most of all...anything he says. Even if there's a promo/commercial with his voice on, I change the station until it is over. He's like ESPN's radio version of Stuart Scott. :D

He can sound a bit grating sure...but he did pick the Skins over the Packers and has called Shanahan an early favorite of his for coach of the year. The wings here aren't so great...the sushi on the other hand...

Re: Redskins-Packers, Best and Worst
 

Cowturd has grown on me over the years. He's entertaining, and that's his job. But man, the guy wasn't made for TV that's for sure.

Re: Redskins-Packers, Best and Worst
 

Best: That anthony armstrong catch. reminded me of the a johnson catch in that when armstrong went up and got 2 hands on the ball, the defender actually had his arm/hand in between armstrong's hands holding ball and armstrong's chest making hard for armstrong to just bring the ball in, somehow armstrong managed to maintain control of the ball as he fell. just a super game changing play in a game were we didnt have many on offense.

Also hunter smith gets a big 2 thumbs up. those punts at the 10 really put GB back and imo made GB have to change the way they called plays when backed up. winning the field position battle, not punting it for a touch back, are big big plays in close hard fought games like these.

Good: while i thought the refs just refused to call any holding in this game, i liked how the refs let the players play aggressive. i dont mind refs calling a close game or letting them play, but they must be consistent for both teams and through out the game. yeah that was PI when the guy bumped cooley early but that was the way they were letting them play for both teams. i think the non PI call on jarmon at the very end was also a should have been penalty in alot of other games but in this one it was a consistent non-call.

Worst: lichensteiger, torrain to a degree on pass pro and mcnabb who had his first really ugly inaccurate game which we expected but he also stuck it out and made plays at the end to win the game, which we expected as well.
gano, im alil worried, he seems mentally fragile and inconsistent up to now but Ill take him over what we had in the past.

I thought our O-line play was down-right ugly, even before williams and brown got hurt. Rabach was getting abused badly. In my opinion, Dockery should start at left guard and Lichtenstein or whatever his name is should start at center.
