Re: SI's Banks: "The Worst 3-0 Team Ever"
 

3-0 is 3-0 and in the NFL it doesn't matter how the hell you get there. We can be the worst whatever team as far as I am concerned because all that means is we're winning.

12th man brings up a real qulaity point. The journalists can't possibly be as versed on the teams as we are about the Skins and the way many fans are of their team. We spend countless hours dicussing, analyzing and evaluating our team. We can see improvement where most journalists just see the negative because we can compare what has been done to what we're doing. When all they get is edited video packages and regurgitated junk from other new sources they can't possibly understand a team's true weaknesses and strengths. They can see we have a weak pass rush right now but have they done the homework to understand that we didn't have a great pass rush last year when we didn't blitz? Most don't because they don't have time. Plus they are trying to break everything down into discussions that fans who are even less versed than they are can understand and care about.

Plus, what have done in terms of our record in the last 5 years to warrant any respect from sports writers. If we light it up this year, the sportswriters would probably write differently about us in their game previews next year.

At least this Banks clown is being upfront that he doesn't think they are good. Unlike fat Lenny P who ignores the redskins existence when they win. Just wait until the skins drop a game or two though then you will see that Lenny P skins bash article posted that same night.

Re: SI's Banks: "The Worst 3-0 Team Ever"
 

we are what we are.we are 3-0,with a very good defense,and an offense that does just enough to win.i think the longer the season goes,the more trust coach gibbs gets gets in his offense,the more big plays we will see on offense.even in our super bowl years i dont recall us having a dominating defense like we have today.those past defenses lived on big plays.anyone who takes the so called experts seriously should have their head examined because most of them before the season picked either the lions,cardinals or vikings as the sleeper of the nfc this year so all i have to say is 3-0 and hail to the redskins!

[QUOTE=Theismann's Good Leg]
Is there another 3-0 team in NFL history that could be considered worse to refute such charges? (Obviously I don't think we are the worst, but is there a team that ended up 4-12 or 5-11 after a 3 win start?)
Any info would be great. I'll look around too. [/QUOTE]

I haven't done any research yet, but I can testify to a horrible 2-0 team. The Phoenix Cardinals under the head coaching of our beloved Joe Bugel started 2-0 in 1991. In their first game, they beat the unimpressive L. A. Rams 24-14. The following week, they clobbered the tough Philadelphia Eagles 26-10 (however, the Eagles had lost Randall Cunningham in the first game). In week 3, the Cards traveled to RFK for a clash with the 'Skins, who were also 2-0. It was supposed to be a clash for the division title, but we murdered them 34-0 and the rest is history. They finished 4-12 and I think Bugel was gone by the end of the season.

Re: SI's Banks: "The Worst 3-0 Team Ever"
 

Correction: Bugel did remain after 1991 in Phoenix.

The 1998 New Orleans Saints coached by none other than Mike Ditka started 3-0 before a 6-10 finish.
