Outlook for the rest of the season?

SkinsRock · 10-06-2004, 05:22 PM

There's still time, but the clock is ticking.

jdlea - I think plenty of people have been giving Gibbs at least some of the blame. He is not the one fumbling or causing penalties, but he certainly does seem rusty, especially in game management. I've posted in a couple other threads that we have to remember that he was not just out of coaching, but completely out of football for the time he was gone. It will take some time for him to really get back to where he needs to be, and it is, but there is not a doubt in my mind that he will get there.
That said, if we don't get a couple wins soon, we'll have to write off any hope of the playoffs, and just look for improvement to build on for next year....which isn't neccesarily a bad thing. Personally, I'm still hoping for 9-7 or better..

Well it is good to see that no one voted for stick a fork in them.

Still time, but clock IS ticking fast.
Well it is hard to give up yet. We are not that bad of a team. It is just a matter of time when all our ducks will be in a row. Will it be too little too late? I would almost bet, but I am not giving up that easy. I would say by week 10 or so we could be the best team in the league (or at least the one team that is playing the best). I could see us winning against Philly at the end of the season. We just need some consistancy with both players and coaches; meaning if we have the same players and coaches year after year such as the Pats we could be a team to be feared. I am still hopeful of the playoff but i can see us going 8-8 at this point in the season. Next year should be the year. One thing for sure we all know the Coach Gibbs and Co. will not take this laying down. I am sure he has had his fair share of sleepless nights lately.

I answered that there is still time but the clock is ticking. Although there is still time, I really don't see the Redskins making the playoffs this year. To many teams ahead of them I think. I just want to see them start playing better football so that all of the media gets off the back of Joe Gibbs. I don't like it when I read articles and see TV people blaming Gibbs for player mistakes and saying that he "lost it". So really I just want these mistake proned players to start producing to get everyone off my coach's back.

The skins need to be professional no excusses like an al Davis philosophy "just win baby!" I don't care how we do just do enough to get the W. If we beat philly and split the series with the other NFC east teams I'll be content and we'll be in the playoffs
