LOL @ Redskins

Doesn't matter what you call it though, if you had high expectations coming into this season sorry but that's your fault for being clueless. I think most reasonable fans were thinking 8-8 with this roster.

I would hope any reasonable person wouldn't expect us to be playing for home field advantage. However, when you go out and pay $100million for this guy, $7 million for the best coach out there, trading for McNabb, Jamaal Brown to help solidify the oline, you do kind of think we would win those "winable" games. And at least be in the mix for a wild-card. Which we still are. Only two games out of the division with two games against the Giants still on the schedule. So, we aren't done by any means. But Redskins fans as a whole buy into the hype quicker than any team in the NFL. I went from 7-9 to 9-7 as an early prediction, and think it is still possible. I think people / fans are tired of seeing the same Redskins team every year no matter who the coach is, who the QB is...it just seems we are destined to be mediocore or worse. Last night was just unacceptable, especially coming of a bye week. We looked so unprepared it was ridiculous.

I'm really not sure any amount of preparation would have made a difference. We flat out got whupped on the field. Their starting 22 just outplayed our 22, in a big way.

And our DC got schooled by their OC. What makes me mad is how in the hell does a D that has been ranked in the top 10 over the last few years is ranked last and allowing a shitload of yards. New system, whatever excuse they want to use, then don't switch if you don't have the personnel.

no doubt they wanted it more than we did. But i just go back to a couple of plays during that game. Running 3 straight times on our first series (with a guy that hasn't played at all), then Moss's failed attempt at catching the ball on 3rd down, which led to the 21-0 score. Then Galloway dropping the pass on 3rd down, then its 28-0. If we convert those two third downs i think it is a totally different ball game. Those drives stay alive and maybe we put some points up. It was just so out of control when the 2nd quarter started. Kills me to see old ass Galloway out there. He really does absolutely nothing. No one is scared of him. The single cover him every play which does nothing for any other receiver on the field. I still find it hard to believe Thomas couldn't play infront of this guy.

Williams has played plenty this year.

Regardless, not sure any of that would have mattered with the way they shredded our D. They scored at will.

Vick's past will always dog him.

It's this. I understand that we're not a great team by any means, it's just getting blown out that bad at home considering we've beaten the same team in their place to the tune of 59 points just makes me feel like that change is never coming. I thought if anything like you said, McNabb, Jamaal Brown, Trent Williams that we'd be looking so much better by now.

I don't know what trade looks worse. Brown or McNabb. They both stink. Brown can't even stay on the field and has to have Mr. Roller Skates come in for him..... and we all know about McNabb's struggles.

Oh we're more than done. After watching this team for 9 games do you honestly think we're a playoff team? Do you really think we can beat NY? C'mon. Playoff teams don't go 4 for 500 on 3rd down.

Yup, Who the heck wants to stumble into the playoffs by some mathematical miracle just to have our asses handed to us? Not me. Lets just hope for steady improvement this season.
