Still in it: Redskins-Eagles Post Game Thread

Just win baby!
That was ugly today.
Our Redskins are really missing too many pieces to do anything this year. That was hard to watch today.
I will say at the risk of pissing off some, when we started the season with Kedric Golden as our #1 NT, I knew our FO was not serious about winning this year.
Our FO basically decided this is a re-building year to be written off. There was zero real attempt to upgrade the DL in Free Agency with a difference maker, that initially pissed me off.
Then drafting a WR high when we are loaded at WR.?.?.?
That pissed me off again.
I like our GM and nobody is perfect. But he has to start to re-build the defense or we will continue to flounder fighting to beat terrible teams like today. The Eagles are decimated at O-line and they nearly beat us. We are not very good.

Watching the eagles pound the middle on 3rd and short...4th and short with a qb sneak with ease is about as frustrating as it gets as a fan. We need 2 new starters on the dline.

Our GM isn't a spender in FA and felt Doc was BPA. He did draft Fuller, Cravens, a d linemen from Temple and the LB from BC. That is probably how he's going to upgrade and approach FA the same as he has. If someone like Norman comes available make a run at him, otherwise sign low bargain players like Hood, Ricky Jean and Foster

Some of these drafted players that are in the system hopefully start to come through for us next year. The two that I mentioned, Spaight and and a few more. We also have extra picks in this upcoming draft class. I like what SM is doing. Remember, the other way ( gasing up Redskins One, winning the off season) DID NOT work. Remember????

One of the reasons we're short on talent is cause of the RG3 trade. By my count that's 4 highly drafted players that are not here. Those guys should be starters for us, or contriburing. You don't swing and miss like that and don't feel it.

So despite all that we are still in the hunt. I'm happy where we're at, even though it's hard watching this defense. Help is on the way and I expect that will be via the draft, and maybe a free agent or two..

Solid post. Our d will take a big leap next year. The younger guys will have more experience, we'll pick up some low costs depth in FA, and I'm sure the BPA in the draft will magically be 80-90% defensive players (as it should be).

And Breeland will get his swagger back. He's too physically talented and has played well before. Just needs to get his mind right. If we have good Breeland back, that alone would make our defense way better.

I want to make the playoffs this year more so to keep building a streak from last year. Not gonna win the Super Bowl this year.
