All of the whining and negativity on this board is way out of line in view of how early it is in the season.

Yes and NO. Here's were the problem is with most of us... had the Redskins came out and kept the game close and went toe for toe and lost against the Eagles, most of us would be saying no biggie we had no clue what they were going to bring to the table. Had they played the Packers somewhat close like the 49ers did most of us would be sitting her saying ..."well I figured we would lose that game in Green Bay".

However that's not the case. The Redskins came out and actually didn't play at all until late 3rd quarter against the Eagles when the Eagles felt bad and started playing prevent defense. Yes they were tired by that point and up by 30 something points but they took their foot off the pedal. The Packers learned from what the Eagles did. Again the Redskins didn't show up to play and it wasn't until the 3rd quarter that they looked remotely decent but again only after the Packers backed off.

I think if the Skins were competitive most of us would not have a problem with the losing, but they are not even showing up until the second half of two games so far. I almost wish they would scrimmage a college team an hour before the game and ride a bus over and play the actual game. Maybe then they would look a little better after having played a whole half prior to the game starting.
