This team is 1-2 and people still think they're some juggernaut that's about to break loose. Nope. This isn't college football where a close loss might still give you some points in the standings. This is the NFL and there are no moral victories. Just another bad loss.

What you said. I've grown accustomed to this team losing and can generally shake off bad losses, but this one made me sick. Philly is a legit team and we had them dead to rights, but losing has become so much a part of the DNA for this team.

They simply can't get out of their own way and will find ways to lose more often than not. And now the Giants come to town after trouncing a team we lost to in week 1. These guys need to grow the hell up in a hurry.

Yeah. It's like watching the game I never got excited, not once. I had a pretty strong feeling they'd blow it somehow. Even with the offense tearing Philly apart in the first half. That was a perfect example. By all accounts it seemed like the Redskins were kicking their butts all half, but....they went into the locker room trailing.

It's always something. The offense plays great (and let's face it, Jacksonville's and Philly's defense leave a lot to be desired, so we'll see if this pace continues) and the defense and special teams screw it up. Or it's the other way around, etc.

What frustrates me is all the talk in the media and from fans about how it was a good effort and they showed fight, etc. It was a loss...in the NFL you don't get style points, you need wins. No matter how ugly. Stupid mental lapses on defense and stupid penalties doom this team all the time.

They sure show a lot of cockiness (Jackson's dancing, the ball spinning every time someone catches an eight-yard pass, cheap shots and pointing) for a team that's won one game (over a horrid Jax team) out of their last 11 going back to last year. They better get to work fast this week and stop patting themselves on the back or NY will come in here and surprise them.
