The Season Is Over

[JWsleep]

I think we're done because of our schedule, and the fact that other teams in our division are better than us (we get no free passes in our diision, even at home).

The key problem is the D. Last year, we were all like, hey, if we socre 21 points, we win. Not this year. What in the world happened? 160+ yards to the Titans on the ground? Long drive after long drive against a rookie QB? No TOs? The offense is a work in progress. I think Brunell is done, and that we need to see Campbell, at the very least so we can find out if we even have a QB there. But the D is fundamentally messed up. You cannot win without defense. That is a rule in all sports. And, sad to say, we have no defense. We look like a practice squad out there, the way teams easily mve the ball up and down the field on us. It's pathetic.

AS much as I want to beat Indy, it make no REAL difference as we are not going to be a threat to any serious contender. I don't want to make a show of anything. I want to be a THREAT or be making moves to accomplish that. Time to accept what is, and plan to make repairs so we can be proud of the Skins and NOT feel like this. Evaluate what we have, who produces, who does not, and get a game plan for the offseason to execute the necessary changes. Something we have not done well lately.............execute. GET THE FUTURE STARTED (as the present sucks) get JC in the game, right after the bye

As Dandy Don used to sing on Monday night Football.

'Turn out the lights, the party's over'.

This season is history, start Campbell now, we need to see if he can play and 10 games should tell us. Playoffs again in 2008 is possible. This year and next are long gone.

There is a small light of optimism inside of me that does believe that the Skins will get it together and make this works.... a very small part.....

2-4 is pretty damn bleak. Especially the way the game went yesterday. However, it's really not time to throw in the towel just yet...

With 10 games left, and the bye week, the team can make the necessary adjustments to turn this train around. No one will disagree that the talent is there, as that seems to be a running theme among the threads. Is Brunell the answer? Not sure, but if I had the option between a veteran QB who has been successful vs. a 2nd year kid vs. a journeyman 2nd string, I'll take the Vet. While 2-4 seems like a huge hole to get out of, it ain't over til it's over.

The defense has to really step up and be more disciplined. Travis Henry should never ever have the type of day he had against a good defense. Springs needs to come back desperately, but I'm not sure that's enough to turn the D ship around.

Indy coming off a bye week will only make matters worse, as they are rested and ready. Their run offense is starting to come around, and Stokley should be healed and added to their stellar air attack. Their defense is vulnerable, and hopefully Al Saunders will take advantage of it.

Bottom line is the Skins will limp into the bye week with a lot on their plate in terms of things they need to do in order to right the ship. But, if there's one man I'd want to be there, it's Joe Gibbs. I still trust him to get his act together and get these guys running on the same page. The talent is there, and the execution, while stagnant yesterday, has been seen this year. These players, and this coaching staff, really needs to dig deep and show us fans that they want to bring home a winner.

YAY!! TRUST IN GIBBS!!!!!!!!!!

.. (I'm trying..)

I think Rogers is a decent cover guy as long as a great one is on the other side and you have 2 guys who can cover/make plays on the ball over the top. There was a lot more help for corners in the passing game last year before they signed a linebacker to play strong safety...

[illdefined]

is it possible? yes. is it likely? no.

god it's going to be a long season

[BDBohnzie]

i certainly agree on it being a long season. it felt really long last year when the Skins were 5-6. while i don't expect a miracle, stranger things have happened.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I don't know about Rogers. If anything, he's been playing decent and at least is good against the run. He's had a couple of bonehead plays, but that's better than most of the corners in the league can say.

Remember the Chargers! 0-4 in 1992, finished 11-5 with a playoff win

Season is far from over

Excellent example but, then they showed signs of a change and we, show no such drive. I read an artivcle that said Snyder was meddling in team affairs again, and THAT aint good....

I think the best chance we have to win ANYTIME in the near future is Joe Gibbs and his staff...maybe there are a few smaller assisitant coaches that could change places (hint, hint), but if Joe or mr. Saunders goes, we are fucked. Royally. Wanna end up like the raiders are now? Old head coach, has noting left in him, no TRUE team talent, and NOT A FUCKING WIN YET! And they probably wont get one ANY time this year till sum1 gives em 1....

I think we just have to believe in Joe....and get rid of some of the slackers...if we lose the next 3-5 games....its time to say fuck this season and look to the future and find out what's up with JC NOW!

Regrouping isnt the word.....maybe, REVITALIZING a dead defense and our "run heavy oh wait fuck that, let Brunell just HOCK it offense"

What i saw yesterday made me sick...truly...i threw up it hurt so much.....
