Are we a playoff team?

[saden1]

We can't run, we can't throw and the only reason we're in games is because of the gutsy play of the D. Gibbs and Saunders should be ashamed of their terrible coaching performance...just terrible.

I'm not ready to write this team off just yet but with the NE next, I'm not really expecting much from the O which is a shame really because I think our D will do a fantastic job to keep us in the game.

Last year we ran all over everyone on offense yet couldnt stop a soul, seems like a reversal of fortune

I don't understand why some people immediately dump on Gibbs and Saunders when this team loses. Did you see how poorly the offensive line played today? What the hell is a coach supposed to do when guys are getting blown four yards into the backfield on a consistent basis? I know everyone thinks they could figure it out because they always make the right calls when they're playing Madden '08, but they need to at least get Rabach back because Pucillo just made things a lot worse today and Fabini is a MAJOR liability and Todd Wade is average at the very best.

Yes. Our defense alone makes us a playoff caliber team. Today the defense gave up a lot of yards, but they also nabbed 3 turnovers, including one for 7 points. The offense looked absolutely dreadful, but who cares when the defense is winning tight games? Right now, you can't say we are not a playoff caliber team unless you can name 6 NFC clubs that are better.

You cant, Dallas nearly lost to the Bills and they are a really bad team, and right now there losing to minnesota. What kills me is that some people fail to realize last year we were 5-11, and this year were 4-2 and fans are complaining, come on guys.

We are not a playoff caliber team right now. Our O-Line is decimated by injury and our coaching staff cannot make halftime adjustments, on both sides of the ball (which I don't understand this problem because Gibbs 1.0 was the master of halftime adjustments). Portis doesn't have any explosiveness, we do not have any physical threats at WR, (including Moss because he's not 100%) and Campbell will still make some young QB mistakes.

I can't name six better teams, but I can name the 4 probable division winners and two wildcard teams that are better: Dallas, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Seattle, then NY Giants & Carolina as wildcards. I don't believe Green Bay or Seattle are better, but someone has to win the NFC North and West.

Here's how I see the rest of the season: Should be Wins: BUF & NYJ, Probable Losses: NE, Tampa Bay (in Tampa), Dallas (at Dallas), NYG (in NY, we haven't won there in the last 3 years). Could go either way: CHI, PHI, MIN, Dallas (at home). So before the games going either way we are 6 - 6, if we split we're 8 - 8 and that's not getting us in. If we are 9 - 7 we might slip in, but it would only be if CAR or TB tank the rest of the season.

Wow Sammy!

You just summed up "REDSKINS 07 PROBLEMS" perfectly in one paragraph

Excellent post

[BigSKINBauer]

At this point it doesn't matter. We need to keep playing our game and pull for a 10-6 season with atleast 4-2 in the division.

The cards are a good team with Warner. WIth leinart the sucked. Every time warner was put in they did well> They looked good with him at the end of the steelers game and the ravens game. Both of those were losses. To me they could easily be 5-1 going into this game. The lost their three games by a total of 13 points.

We played a good team and won because our defense is sick and our
defense will pull us to the playoffs in my opinion.

yeah, you're riht, Even more reason that we shouldn't be thinking that we beat up on a shitty team.

[WillH]

Do we look like a playoff team? NO

Will we make the Playoffs? Theres a good pssibility.

At least we've kept ourselves in the race.

Hopefully it stands true that "joe gibbs teams are good in Dec."

[MTK]

Still a long way to go.
