But if you're regressing at the same time you're progressing, it doesn't seem realistic.

Like I said enjoying the ride, because this sweetheart fairy tale doesn't have a happy ending. A team stacked on offense is going to clean our clocks if we somehow manage to make the playoffs/win the division.

So you'd rather the team lose instead? What's so terrible about potentially having a winning season and a playoff berth, and be able to build off that? Especially being able to do that despite having so many people injured on the offensive side?

Nobody is saying that. Lol. We are saying we would rather see a competent team win, than an incompetent team beat itself to our delight. Yes a win is a win. Im over the rainbow excited we got it, BUT, did your eyes tell you today that we are actually going to compete against a good team? Mine certainly did not. It is ok to be skeptical after a win if you think your team cannot normally win playing like they did.

I think a lot of armchair analysts/GMs don't like that the team is winning, despite the shortcomings the love to point out every week.

Almost all teams in the league have strengths and weakness, and every time a team's strength is neutralized, they are going to lose. I don't know what's so f*cking hard to understand about that.

The team is 6-3, despite a lot of setbacks. And that's all that matters. If you have a problem with that, then don't let the door hit you on your way out. HTTR.

Rams are 9-1 but have a terrible D, they give up 30 a week. Saints and Pats are the only 2 teams that have both sides playing well all yr.

Judging P. Smith on sacks alone is just dumb. He’s been very solid all year.

Not just sacks, but pressures, tfl, etc. I see as a guy who is basic. I’d really believe our defense could be next level with better play at a pivotal pass rushing spot in the league.

If you ask me to chose....pay Preston smith or take his money and pay Clinton Dix...I’m gonna pay the better player every single time. And it’s not close, Clinton Dix is the better player.

The Skins aren’t winning the SB but can they win the division and maybe win a playoff game? Definitely. Enjoy the ride kids.

Suck it whiners. The 'skins won. Ugly or not, they won. No offensive line, struggling QB, and a defense that couldn't tackle half the time, yet, only gave up 3 points. I'll take it.

If they can sweep the Giants, at least split with the Eagles and Cowboys, that's 9 wins right there and a 4-2 record in the division. They can pick up at least a 10th win.

My concerns for next week and improvement is needed here:

Better tackling

Got to get to the QB and stop the scrambling, Fitzpatrick looked Fran Tarkenton out there. Deshawn Watson is a different animal.

I have feeling they underestimated Fitz' mobility and were more concerned about the weapons they have down field. It was crazy to see Fitz run so much though.

Exactly. When we lose it's "we're not winning another game this season", when we win it's "yeah but we won't be playing late in January"...

We are getting healthier and getting players back like Quinn, Thompson, Crowder, Dunbar and possibly Williams by Thanksgiving. Smith is getting more weapons so I don’t want to hear he doesn’t have the players to work with. The Redskins can compete with anyone as long as they are consistent.

Quinn is a non factor tho, he hasn't even played so u cant say hes a weapon. I like Bibbs and would like to see more of him. CT is often injured so he's another guy u can't really count on this yr. I'm shocked Reed has stayed healthy.

We shall see.

We got the Texans and than on the road against Dallas n Philly. Honestly right now my brain tells me we are 6-6 in three weeks. Giants at home is a win. At Jags, at Titans, vs Eagles. 7-9 is entirely not out of the equation if we don’t fix our offense, and clamp down on D as far as yards (which again normally lead to points). That isn’t Debbie Downer that is a completely realistic scenario. We need to get healthy and better or this 6-3 is just a fairytale like Mooby said. I don’t think there are any other 6-3 teams right now that you could make a case for finishing with one more win without going out on a limb. Enjoy the win for sure but PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
