Re: Season over?
No, the season isn't over. This was a tough, tough loss, but geez...we're only seven games into our season.
This type of loss for us was a fluke. Plain and simple.

Re: Season over?
No it isn't over. lets not go crazy. we have a winning record and are only 1 dumb game behind. I think we can win our next FEW, i really do. eagles at home. Bucs with QB problems. Raiders Chargers at home, 4 easy games into a 3 game division stretch. I see us doing well until the 3 division games

Re: Season over?
Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you lose big. Good teams find ways to gain strength and bounce back. It's a gut check time, but this is week 7 out of 16 for us. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
We aren't as bad as this loss made it look, though we aren't as good as we looked against the 49-ers, as Williams said. Let's hope the loss lights a fire under them. 4-3--how could the season be over? And I have faith that Gibbs, Williams, and the rest will find a way to fix the problems.

Re: Season over?
I would feel alot worse about the rest of the season if I really thought we showed up to play today. Make no mistake about it, if this team just dosent show up to any other game this year, they will get their asses whooped just like they did today. I really dont think today was a refelction at all of how we are as a team. Honestly, I cant really take anything from this game, because I just dont think that was the Washington Redskins out there. I think we'll be able to get a better grip on the rest of the season after next weeks game against Philadelphia.

Re: Season over?
Today was as pathetic as it gets, but over? Come on...nothing is over. As bad as it was when you boil it down it was one road game within the division. We are not supposed to win all the road division games. I think the issue is more the way they played...but one loss is still only one loss whether it's by 1 point or 101 points. Even if they lose next week it's still not over...

Re: Season over?
Have not voted yet, still sitting on the fence, but that game was reminiscent of the infamous 'Body-bag' Game against the Eagles. Although I think that Redskins team had more heart for I remember Brian Mitchell lining up at QB and tanking direct snaps for runs and I think they at least managed to score. This was a bad game...now the whole team needs to listen up to the coaching staff...should be an interesting week of practice, at least for those physically able to practice.

Re: Season over?
firstdown - see Famous Animal House quotes
The Giants were better prepared, had a better plan, and stuck to it. The Skins were ill-prepared, abandonded their plan from the word go, and played like this was their first time ever on the field. You better believe the Skins will work their asses off to prepare for the Eagles this week. The matchup is favorable, since the Eagles now throw 8 out of 10 plays, and the Skins own the #1 pass defense. How can anyone vote to say season over, when the goddamn Skins have a winning record?!?!?!?!?!? Even non-Skins fans have to say that, with the Skins outplaying their opponents in 2 of 3 losses on the road, that they have a chance to go 6-3, 5-4 and make their way into the playoffs. Gimme a break.

Re: Season over?
If this would have happen in week 12, it wouldn't really matter, one let down that late in the season, but in week 7, the season is going to be a wash....look at the record 4-3, next week Philly, which is a team that dont run, but trust me, Andy Reid is thinking were gone run the ball, and we stunk up against the 31st ranked D........if we walk away with 8 wins we will be lucky...........Playoffs?...I hope no one said Playoffs

Re: Season over?
I don't think the season's over but it doesn't look favorable if the Skins revert to pre-season form. The offense was progressing from game to game and then they hit a brick wall. I was concerned about the Giants game but no way should they have been thrashed like that. We will see what kind of character this team has next week. In years past, they have folded the tent and gone home. I hope this is not the case this year.

Re: Season over?
The season is far from over. Yeah we looked horrible today. How we come out next week will tell alot about where we are as a team. We have shown that we can play good sound ball. We just need to stop evaluate what happened and correct our mistakes and go forward and beat the Eagles. Then worry about the next game. If the skins start playing for the playoffs now it will be over we need to take one game at a time and forget all the games in the past.

Re: Season over?
Far from over. Things change from week to week. Tampa lost to the 49'ers today. This league is crazy. We're better than 36-0 and everyone here knows it. I think we will see a much better effort next week. Doesn't mean we'll win, but it will be a much better effort.

Re: Season over?
I believe there are 10 games left to the season, including games against every NFC East team at home at FedEx. The Skins are 1-1 in the division. So, the East title is within reach. The wild card can be had with a 9-7 record.
Throw out BOTH the Giant game and the 49er game because the Redskins ain't THAT good and they ain't THAT bad. Settle down Redskins. Go out and make the play! |
