This Skins Stat Says A Lot About Us

That doesn't help a whole hell of a lot at the end of the year. And some of those scores were probably late scores that made the game look closer than they really were. I ain't here to kiss my sister. I want some frikking W's.

I'm not doing this since the dawn of the redskins. This stat I've done for the past ten years. No one cares about blowouts or close games in our Super Bowl years because we were winning then. Translation; when you when everyone's happy and no one gives a .... When your losing, people want to see why. Here's a why. We can't finish or complete games and were the worst in the league at that. And I'll kiss your sister for you if she's attractive.

Thats the difference between being an NFL coach, a good coach, and a great coach.

A good one wins more than he loses, a great one wins the majority of close games.

So we're the worse at finishing or completing games? It's pretty hard for me to find a positive in that. I guess it's better than getting blown out all the time but as mredskin just wrote...there aren't that many blowouts anyway. Good teams find ways to win...bad teams don't. It's as simple as that. We get a lead but know in our hearts it's not over because we have a history of allowing teams to come back and beat us. I appreciate your optimism and I would honestly be the last person to ask about my sister. Personally I would rather kiss my Jack Russell.

See this is the thing about this thread; I said see how you interpret this stat. It can be interpreted in more than one way. (You and most people here see it as a negative; I and a couple others see some positives out of it)

I'm not much for the phrase garbage time, but the stat you made doesn't really reflect at all whether the game was close the whole way, or we just got garbage scores against prevent style defenses. I don't see a lot of use from just a blind number, good or bad.

Funny that you see it as a positive, since you were the same guy that wanted the team to tank for a better draft position in the past two seasons.

I wouldn't say I think this stat is a complete positive, but there are some positives to it. It's a two sided stat.

Your not gonna let that go are you? We would have been a better team for the future if we MS plan had worked. It back fired a couple times to get us out of the first overall pick range. Oh we'll it's in the past and I'm happy with griffin.

Given your own negativity over the past two seasons, it surprised me that you seemed surprised at the negativity of others.

Anyway, it is hard for me to see this stat as a positive, when a lot of these close games have been against teams that are not good. I do want to say that now more than ever I think we have a future and better days are (hopefully) ahead. But I think at least this year we are going to continue with the same mantra of keeping games close against good and bad teams alike.

I'm not coming down on you CB...
You obviously put some time and effort into this. It's really a shame to go through all that to try and find a positive. Sounds like something Lions fans probably did through the Millen years. Any way you look at it we're not very good and coming close through the last few years doesn't change that. A good coach would.
