And I I'm a coach like gruden, cowher, or another top name do I go some place where MS, a potential HOF candidate, just failed.

The type of people we would attract would be the guys that can't get a shot elsewhere. We could wind up with the next mike tomlin, but it would be a longshot.

Been thinking about this ever since you posted. Mike probably will go to the HOF just based on the two rings, right?

Our play calling and execution of said play calling on third down is my goat of the year much less the week. We suck on 3rd down, period. Until that gets fixed, even though we have been in every game, we will continue floating around .500%.

That was an excellent read in coverage by Ryan Kerrigan. He got the pick six be reading Matt Ryan's eyes and seeing the screen pass trying to develop. He put his hands up and BOOM, he knocks the ball in the air and picks it off and runs the other way for a Redskins touchdown.

Rams are much improved , 3-0 at home I believe so thats a good turn around story.

If they lose this weekend, they'll be 3-3 and 3-1 at home...Know what their total and home records were after 6 games in 2010?

i'd assume the same? lol

I'm not saying the rams are great and fisher is amazing or that MS sucks.
JS they are way better than I thought they'd be.

Let's see where they stand after 16 games. It's a long season.

skinsfaninok · 10-09-2012, 10:58 AM

yes it is, I'd be surprised if they finished 8-8

REDSKINS4ever · 10-09-2012, 11:20 AM

Question: are the Redskins a good team? 2-3 and 1 game out of first place in the division ain't bad at all. But the Redskins have been in every game within the first five games of the season. But the Redskins can't win at FED EX FIELD. Teams that are good don't have long losing streaks on their own home field. But the Redskins play exceptionally well on the road.

BigHairedAristocrat · 10-09-2012, 11:25 AM

No, the redskins are not a good football team. Our defense is atrocious and won't get substantially better this year, and maybe not even next (thank you cap penalty).

I predict a losing season in 2012 and perhaps in 2013 as well.

The Goat · 10-09-2012, 01:06 PM

Geez some of you sound bitter...can't even acknowledge the good in other teams. That's sad.

It's true Fisher hasn't won a Lombardi, but also true that throughout most of his tenure in Tennessee he faced powerhouses in New England, Indy, and Pittsburgh, and that's just in the AFC!! He's clearly turned the Rams culture around for the better, and he's a very good coach. He solidly outcoached our staff. I do expect them to be a winning team if not this season then next.

...and I can already see the threads discussing the "far better" roster Fisher inherited in St. Louis vs the one Shanahan inherited in DC lol.

Yeah...we're the bitter ones.

Fisher's Titans had to face AFC powerhouses, he deserves total praise!!...but wait, didn't Shanahan's Broncos face those same powerhouses?

I don't think anyone can honestly say the AFC West division was as competitive as the AFC South in those years. Is that what your saying?

When were the Steelers and Patriots in the AFC South?..and yeah anyone could honestly say the West was as competitive

Please tell me who in the AFC West was good like the Colts were under Manning since Elway retired?
