At the halfway point.

I dont think the O has played especially well yet this team is 4-4 and still in it. If they can work some things out over the bye and get the O clicking a bit better maybe they can go on a bit of a run and get to 9-7. At that point who knows maybe they can squeak into the playoffs and once you get into the playoffs anything can happen, just ask the Cards.

we are 4-4..still in the hunt..can competative every game...EXCEPT the two games against teams that had one only one game. This is what i take from the 1st half.

We are competative against good teams and have let downs against teams that we should beat. Rams, Lions again this year. I dont know if it is a curse or what, but this is a year after year montra of the Redskins. I guess a bright side to this is our D is about dead last and we are still 4-4. Thank goodness for the turnovers, and either our very good redzone D, or the fact that the other teams redzone offense isn't very good. I like where we are going. McNabb has to be better. Our o-line has to better, just a little better for christ sakes. They are horrible. I really thought with the draft of Williams, the pick up of Brown that we would be better. Not sold on the benching of Dockery yet because the other dude looks to be getting blown up every other week. our interior line was getting absolutely destroyed against the lions.

Moss may be having a good year, but i think there is more to that. McNabb had a few games where he threw the ball 30-40 times. Moss is the only receiver worth a damn on the roster. And I am not a big fan of him being a #1 Receiver anyway. i think he would be a great #2. We just can't ever get anyone open on a consistant basis.

Defensively - like i said thank god for the turnovers. Hall namely has won two games for us with the pick 6 and the fumble return. Turnovers are great, but we aren't doing anything with them. Landry is a monster. I like the 3-4, but we have to do something to get better against the run. Anyone with a patient offensive coordinator will put up 200 yards rushing against us.

I am not trying to be negative nelly, I am happy with the 4-4 record midway. I just think of the possibilities if we can just put some points on the damn board consistantly. And stop playing down to lesser teams. No way we should have gotten beat by the rams (rookie QB) and the lions.

Yeah I would have to agree. I think we are very fortunate to be 4-4 right now. Our offense has not been hitting on much at all, but still worlds better than last year (shows you how bad our offense was last year!)

I would say if this team goes 8-8 this year, then were twice as good as we were last year and it shows progress. I'm still hoping for at least 10 wins of course.

10 would be nice but I think thats a bit of a stretch. I do think 9 wins is realistic as they only have to go 5-3 over the last 8.

Yes, realistically, 7 to 9 wins. I just hope this McNabb stuff doesn't make us implode.
