Carolina Panthers vs Washington Redskins Gameday Thread

Everyone is frustrated but I'm pretty sure everyone didn't have this team winning 10-11 games. Right? Our 3 wins were not against top teams. To me this is still a 6-8 win team.

I felt like this was an 8-8 team, but those 8 wins would be more likely against the crappier teams than against the better teams on our schedule. So it's kinda thrown out of wack when we lose to a bad team on our schedule.

Hmm, honestly, I did.

My List:
Giants- win. we suprise them. (done).
Cards- win. their not that great. (done).
Cowboys- loss. their house. (done).
Rams- win. their not that great. (don).
Eagles- win. our house. (fail).
Panthers- win. new QB. not a good team. suprise. (fail).
Bills- win. their not there yet.
49ers- win. no QB. rookie HC.
Dolphins- win. they just suck.
Cowboys- win. our house.
Seattle- win. Seattle sucks.
Jets- loss. Play off team.
Patriots- loss. play off team.
Giants- loss. their house.
Vikes- win. McNabb...nough said.
Eagles- loss. their house.

I could see 11-5. That was a big cushion so if we started losing games we'd have room. What needs to happen now is we need to:

Beat the Cowboys at home.
Beat the Eagles away.
Beat the Jets to make up for one of the other losses.
Beat the Giants in NY to make up for one of the other losses.

and stay the rest of the course with the other teams. the Bills, 49ers, and Seattle will be tougher then expected.

I said at the beginning of the season I could see 11-5 but 10-6 or 9-7 was a better number. I felt this is a better team then 8-8.

I agree with all that except the Bills game. They're scary good. Under dog team. And we're playing them in NY. We couldn't beat a crappy Panthers team, we're not gonna beat a rising Bills team.

Fred Jackson and Frank Gore are going to run all over our defense.

Our problem is not stopping the run. The Skins have done well the first part of the season. It has more to do with having a really good RB and a QB who can run for yrds (ie; Vick, Newton). The team can't cover both for some reason.

We're playing them in Toronto, not like it makes a difference though.

So after watchig this team for 6 weeks what makes you think Buffalo and the 49ers are wins? I bet we drop one of those games. Also at Seattle is not an automatic win. Tough place to play. We're simply not good enough to walk on the field and beat anyone.

I'm not saying we won't. The question was "who had this team at 11-5." I was pointing out that I did prior to the season for the reasons I listed. Your right some of the teams look better then expected, but so does the Skins, media had the Skins at 8-8 or worse. With my 11-5 all I'm pointing out is we could afford to lose 2 more game and maybe still get into the playoffs. I'm not talking SB. On a side note the Jets look like an easy win which I had as a loss.

No matter what we need to split our division. We beat the Giants. Lost to the Cowboys and Eagles. As long as we win the next games with the Cowboys and Eagles we can afford to lose to the Giants. But I'd rather beat then twice since now they are up on top of the division.

There's always a bad taste in your mouth after a loss, but I don't see how it's a given that we walk away with wins against Buffalo, San Fran, Seatte, or the Cowboys. Everything else sounds about right. There might be an unexpected win somewhere in there.

Clipboard Jesus stunk it up for Seattle today, so who knows.
