They won 2, but I think you have to ask if that wasn't a self inflicted 2. They had won 10 how many year in a row? As many have pointed out, we have had how many losing seasons in a row .

Griffin has changed the whole DC culture, Luck is getting questioned on Colts fan boards (not massively, but asking things like is he regressing etc.) and Wilson is just glad to be here.

I think griff is the best thing to happen to the redskins in my life time. I'm just saying Andrew is damn good, yes he has way more Ints but you have to understand he has absolutely no running threat. Wilson is pretty dangerous as well but he's not the athlete or passer RG3 is. I swear Griffin is Aaron Rodgers with way more jets

Superbowls are the best thing to happen in your lifetime!! Unless you are younger than i think.
I say RG-3 wins rookie of the year handsdown. His td to int ratio and rating will seal the deal.
Luck is damn good, but Griff is better.

Skins won in 91 when I was 6... Lol so I've never enjoyed a Superbowl pretty much

Yeah i hear you man. Jeez i was 12 in 83. My teenage years were great. My twenties abd thirties not so much. There are good things on the horizon though! Httr.

I remember the 91 Redskins. I watched most of the season in Germany catching mostly the highlights on George Michael's Sports Machine on AFN. I made it back to the states around Christmas just in time for the playoff run. I saw the "Seat Cushion" game and it was smooth sailing through the rest of the playoffs. It seemed as if the Posse could do nothing wrong as they scorched themselves to a SB victory over the Bills. The game was not as close as the score suggested.

I was raised a Skins fan, but that was the first season that I was actually able to understand and remember. I was 13.

I think the Griffin will get ROY if we go 10-6 or win the division. However, Luck will take ROY if we lose out on the division. Plus he will break Newtons passing yards this week which will have the media pushing him even more for the award.

I'll steal a quote from Twitter "Luck is like a arsonist who starts a fire and then attempts to put it out".

Just for arguments sake on some of the stats I've seen earlier. Any way ya look at it Lucks stats do not = ROY.

In comparison the Colts have passed the ball 564 times, us 400. Rushing 381 Colts and 449 for us.

Now would you say the Ravens have no threat of a run? They have rushed the ball 353 times and their average is 4.2 ypc.

The Colts are at 3.9 ypc so I wouldn't say they have no threat of a running game.

Who actually decides the ROY?

My bad, I wasnt specifically paying attention to the penalty part. But yeah, I would say you are right. I havent looked into it, but not only on 3rd downs, also probably some pass int's on a game winning drive or drives late in the 4th quarter of a close game. Not sure how many late hits hes had, but im sure those add in there as well.

It seems that QBR benefits a QB that plays a lot of close games, since that is where the better scores come from. I think a lot of Lucks score comes from 4th quarter games that are tied or very close, which seems to pretty much be all of Indy's games. Although I do like the fact that it penalizes garbage time stats though.

I remember back then, It seemed every time we got the ball we would drive down the field. Passing game was magic with good QB (RG3) and fast receivers (Garcon, Hankerson, Morgan, Moss), Riggins was unstoppable (Morris). Mosley was always good for the extra poins (Forbath). We are getting very close to that again. Only thing we are lacking is a slightly better push with both our lines, (as we had in the Hogs) and a shutdown CB (as we had in Darrell Green). Very close indeed... HTTR!

This game has trap written all over it. The Skins are on a hot streak and next week is the bigger game, so I hope they don't overlook the Eagles. That being said I think the Eagles are in just too much disarray.

Skins 31
Eagles 17

Scared. The Eagles have nothing to lose and would love to play spoiler.

[Gtothearry]

The Skins know what they have to do and it's hard for a game to be a trap game this late in the season. I think this team has turned a corner.
