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.

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.

panthers outplayed us today, I called 31 - 21 before the game,

33-20, not too far off. I am the next nostradomus........

[skins89moss]

The Redskins are now 0-7 vs Rookie QB's thats just a sick stat.

[Mechanix544]

with the way we are playing, Id be suprised if we reach 7 wins. Shannahan has alot morework to do than we originallly thought this year, and that is the bottom line.

[Hog1]

Beck was ok today.....Fred is going to be something! We are.....hurting on D secondary. I really thought we would fare better on D...
How's Fletch? Jamal Brown? Hightower? Etc????

[Beemnseven]

Hard to know who has more of the blame today. Defense has been giving us every chance in the world over the last few weeks, but finally gave out today. And naturally, the offense is NEVER up to the task.

I have a question. Even if we do get a rookie qb next year, how do we know he will fare the same as the other rookie qb's in the league. All the other rookie qb's get the playbook scaled back to make it easier on them, and their playcallers put them in position to do what they do best. Kyle S. hasn't exactly shown that ability so far.

With the black cloud that seems to hover over this team, the rookie QB that we draft next year will look every bit like a rookie QB -- it'll be back to normal after a blip of unusual success for 1st year guys. This team will re-set the trend. Count on it.

IF the O tanks the rest of the way I think at least Kyle Shanahan will be thrown under the bus. Snyder will call for his head, if not for Mike's also. If we dn't make CB a priority in the next draft I will start to question Bruce Allen also. Again, I am not calling for off with their heads, but these guys have proven to me they are not what they were cracked up to be. Another marketing victory for Snyder to keep interest in the team no matter what happens. Thing is his scam is getting old. Many on this thread have also expressed as such.

Where is the sad...... What we did positive thread....... I'm glad Cam torched our ass, cause he wasn't good, his accuracy is bad, he is a bad kid...... He has only won, and been found guilty of nothing...... Nut the Shanahans bet our season on Rex and Beck, which who cares if he played solid, we LOST!!!_!

Beck threw it well in the second half. Sean Locklear shut down one of the best rushers in the game. A couple of offensive bright spots in a sea of suck.

The defense gave up 30 points today, which wasn't good, but if they could just recover a fumble sometime, they'd have given up like 2/3s of the points they have this season. They are close to being a great turnover defense.

Go figure Tripp is the most positive when we lose horribly lol

Someone get SBXVII A Rex Grossman avatar please.

Beck played better today then Rex has all year.

I really do think our offensive play calling might be the worse in the league though. Just seemed like in the first half we were scared to let go of Beck's leash a bit. Obvious Bootleg calls getting the QB punished, Torain losing yards again..

I think we had, what? 6 dropped passes today that were wide open? Two by Gaffney who is suppose to be our possession WR?

Hankerson runs some sort of go route like he doesn't even know what he's doing out there lol

Austin looked sharp and Paul made plays when the ball came his way.

What bothers me, and iv'e been saying it all year is we let teams grind on us on defense and we don't make any plays anymore. Teams can just chunk at us all game and I really think that kills our offense because our offense never gets into a zone being off the field for so long

This is something that's been bothering me. Look at Tampa last year, they go youth and they let them play. Let's see if Paul and Austin have anything.

Worst case scenario? They both suck and we try again.
Best case scenario? One of the two put up 400-500 yards and we look forward to another offensive threat in our future. It never hurts to start early.
