The two really, really tough teams on the remaining schedule, NYG and NO, we don't play them until the start of December. We'll probably be under a new coach by then, and we'll probably be a very different (if not improved team).

The key for the season is to get to the bye in good shape. Perhaps that means a simple 3-4 record, but playing Philly tough. If you lose the next two games to fall to 2-5, it hardly matters who we have after the bye, that's a 6-10 or 5-11 season.
If by beatable you mean that we can beat these teams fists with our face, then..yeah, I guess they're beatable.

I guess I never thought of it like that.

Re: Looking ahead, it's only going to get worse

GTripp, how can you call Denver beatable? They are undefeated and just beat the New England Freaking Patriots. They are playing excellent offense and defense. We, on the other hand, barely eeked by the pitiful lions and Rams and lost to the just as pitiful Panthers and Bucaneers. I know some say this team has a history of playing to the level of its competition, but that hasnt really been the case under Zorn. after our strong start last year, the only good team we beat was Philidelphia and we barely beat them.

The Redskins are a very very bad football team right now. I'd say we're one of the worst teams in the NFL and we are now without our two best starting offensive linemen. If we werent the worst offense in the NFL before last week, we certainly are now. Going back to the title of this thread, its only going to get worst. I think we lose to KC this week and the only team we beat for the rest of the year is Oakland... maybe. We are a 2-14 to 5-11 team right now. Unfortunately for us, there are alot of other really bad teams in the NFL this year, so we may not get a top 5 pick in next years draft to reward our "efforts."

Well at least a good draft pick will come our way. Who knows, we could trade it for more picks.
