Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

[quote=mooby;749377]We really need to start looking forward to next week. The guys will be pissed off and hungry going into the Bears game, and based on the way they've been playing we should be able to get plenty of pressure on Cutler next week.

If we can execute and be good on both sides of the ball we can definitely be 5-3 heading into our bye week. A loss to the Colts is nothing to be ashamed about, especially when the Giants got destroyed by them earlier this season. At least we were in the game in the final 2 minutes, which is more than the Giants can say.[/quote]


This is the way I see it.

Coming out of the bye this team is even better. :food-smil

Shanahan apparently had a friend die in a motorcycle accident in college, so I don't think he would just stick it to AH out of spite. Do I think that AH may have helped? Possibly, but not for more than 10 plays since Manning was going no huddle.

Also, AH may arguably be the most talented DLineman, but I don't think he is the best player on this team.

[quote=Beemnseven;749333]Well, not to pick nits, but... what I said was technically correct. One of the turnovers led to a field goal, another went nowhere. I neglected to mention the Torain run after the sack and strip by Orakpo, but the point was that even with all of the missed opportunities by our D, our O still has to convert those into points -- in this case, more points than they did, obviously.[/quote]

We were both right. But you got what I was getting at.

Once again, this is all speculation and your opinion. Nothing personal.

Bottom line. We lost and we are left holding our dicks wondering what could have been different.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

They will suit up the big man next week and I would assume for the rest of the season.

This team still shits the bed in some areas of their play? Not that I see it staying that way. They'll get better thanks to the coaching, but the real improvements will be seen in 2-3 years, when we will have a elite team that takes advantage of the opportunities given to it.

I see a team that is very fortumate to be 3-3 right now. When a team pretty much hand you every opportunity to win and you still lose, that sucks. Too bad injuries to our opponents key players didn't bail us out like other games this year. (not that I want to see a player hurt)

I see a team no one thought would go anywhere that should be 4-2 maybe even 5-1. But if we go back to July and I said to u that we would be 3-3 with a 2-0 division record and a win over everyone's SB pick GB you would be happy with that.

If you had told me we that the Rams would have been a tougher opponent then the Colts I would have died laughing.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

We will finish 9-7 this year, hopefully a playoff spot. I'm not too worried over losing to one of the Top 3 teams in the NFL.

All great wins. I just don't think this team does enough things well enough to be a playoff team.

I feel better about this team at 3-3 and then I did about the 6-2 Zorn start, last nights game would have been a blown out if Zorn was coaching.

Think about his prime time Steelers game last year I want to hide under my bed after that one.

The Redskins held their own against the Colts and had a chance to win it at the end not much more yo ucan ask of a team in it's first year under a new coach and playing with practice squad players.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

Win or lose, the Redskins are proving that they can hang with Super Bowl caliber teams like the Colts. Eventually the Redskins are going to make that next step toward beating those teams, but they are just not there yet. Still, playing this brutal schedule makes the 'skins better, even if the record may or may not say so by the end of the year.

I can't really hang my head down on this loss. Yes, I wanted the Redskins to win, but they played a heck of a lot better than what I thought they were going to play against the Colts. Honestly, I didn't think they had a chance against them and darn near came back to beat them. The 'skins are much improved but still have a long ways to go. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Agree Bro! I think if AH played it could have been just enough to tip the W in our favor. If he's not "the best" player on our team, he's certainly close enough.

At any rate The Skins surprised me again. They played way above my expectations so for that I'm satisfied in the sense that Shanny is making a difference and the players are responding to his authority.

We're 3-3 but we are actually starting develop some talented playmakers. I think it's important to get AH back out on the field ASAP! He was just starting to play AH football before the death of his brother. He needs to continue to develop with his team if he is expected to re-emerge.

My hope is that AH sat on his own and it was not Shannys call. But I suspect the later.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

In the wide open NFC, I really don't see why the Skins can't be a playoff team. Still 10 games to go, 4 in the division, way too early to be writing them off.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

I can see the Redskins beating any team in the NFC. Not going to play the coulda woulda shoulda game but we were in position to win that game last night, and the Colts DESTROYED the giants when they played them and we were 1/2 a yard more air on a Mcnabb pass from winning....shoot I said I WASNT going to play the shoulda woulda game....oh well!

If you hold your d!(k after a loss what do you do when we win? Ok, maybe we don't want to know.

[quote=tootergray34;749132]wow...terry schiavo questioned that playcall Kyle.[/quote]

Can we ban this jerk?



Anyways...GREAT GAME, SKINS. Proud of them...they nearly beat Peyton Manning's team.


It was definitely a game of MISSED OPPORTUNITIES...Rogers and Moore dropping easy INTs.

The D played GREAT. Manning was working so fast that any D would get gassed. We didn't have time for substitutions or anything other than basic defensive alignments...but we did force turnovers and even though Manning's numbers were big, we really didn't let him blow us out like he's capable of. Look what he did to the Giants.

That last INT was a great play by the Colts' defender. If he didn't make that acrobatic catch, Galloway would have score...the pass was going to drop right into his hands in stride with no one in front of him. A few miscues by McNabb but he showed a ton of leadership and made more great plays than bad. Torain is officially a star.

I just hope Cooley is OK, but we do have the best backup TE in the league.



The Bears have no chance. Cutler will be sacked at least 8 times...calling it now.

[quote=T.O.Killa;749245]Hey, I told everyone i knew, that if we went 3 and 3, we would make the playoffs. Well I hope they will.[/quote]

Our schedule has been BRUTAL so far and we're .500.


We're a solid team.

*We began the downfall of Dallas.
*We lost to Houston only because our kicker was iced.
*Rams - well, we blew that one but the Rams are looking legit this year, could end up .500 at year-end in that division.
*We beat a solid Philly team.
*We beat Green Bay, the popular SB pick from the NFC.
*We hung with and nearly beat PEYTON MANNING.


Add to that our opponent casualty list...we're a force in the NFC.

1 win out of first place and those teams ahead of us have not played as many tough teams as us...but they will in the remainder of the year. Dallas is sunk.

Philly sched:
L - Packers
W - Lions (barely, by a FG)
W - Jags
L - SKINS
W - 49ers (barely, by a FG)
W - Falcons = 1st impressive win of year, lost DeSean Jackson?

NJ sched:
W - Panthers
L - Colts blew them out 38-14
L - Titans blew them out 29-10
W - Bears
W - Texans, impressive win
W - Lions, only 28-20



We've been in EVERY game except the 2 TD-loss to the Rams and considering we're installing a new offense with new QB with a new coordinator, a new defense (big change) with a new coordinator and all done under a new head coach and GM...we're progressing fine. Our offense AND defense are both looking better each week. We'll be firing on all cylinders soon enough.

Our remaining schedule:

Bears = W
Lions = W
*bye*
Eagles = W, we've proven we can beat them already
Titans = test
Vikings = test if they start rolling, but beatable as they are playing now
Giants = possible test but they either win or get blown out it seems
Bucs = W, they're not as good as their record
Cowgirls = W
Jags = W, they've had some impressive wins, but Garrard can't carry them all year
Giants = see above



I'm not saying we'll win every game, but every game we're playing from here out is definitely WINNABLE. The Titans matchup is our toughest-remaining game.

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

I totally agree Buster. We have chance in every game left on the schedule barring a string of unforeseen injuries.

I will conclude though that playing the Giants is going to be the biggest test we have. They are the team thaat have been owniing us the last few years.

So if we split with the Giants and beat Philly and Dallas again.

We are 5-1 and right in the thick of things for sure!

Re: Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread
 

Everybody quit bitching at the very least we're headed in the right direction and Shannahan will make it happen sooner than later. I love the effort, love the fight, we very well could've won this did'nt happen this time. We could be 0-6, but we could be 6-0 so we're probably where we should be, but improving every week.
