There's alot of negative energy in here surrounding the playoffs well....

[#56fanatic]

I know there is a ton people with the "hey we aren't out of it yet" mentality. and realistically we are still IN IT. but come on, what gives any of you the reason they can beat any of the 4 teams we have left on the schedule? face it, we are not a good football team, and we are not very well coached. How many of you sat there yesterday and wondered if we were going to win with 2 minutes to go? I sat there and told this guy, we are going to run it 3 times, punt, and lose on a last second field goal. This is WHO WE ARE. at the very same time, I was looking at the colts - jags game. they were in the same situation, up 3 with 2minutes to go. They on the other hand are running their offense, trying to get first downs, to win the game with the ball. This is a true example of what has been said time after time out here. Joe doesn't play to win, he plays not to lose. this crap has cost of 5 or more games this year.

yesterday was a perfect time for this team to rebound and get back in the season, and what did we do, took a face dive. typical of Redskin football the last 4 or so years.

When the Redskins had the ball with less than two minutes to go, I knew they would not get that first down and run out the clock, and that they would have to punt it away and give the Bills one more chance. I also knew that they would give up a long pass over the middle to set up a Bills FG and that the Redskins would lose 17-16. I figured, hey, the Skins have choked away several halftime leads already this year...why should this game be any different? Sadly, I was proven 100% correct.

BTW, the Redskins will lose all four of their remaining games and finish 5-11. Sad but true.

What I want to know is if you're so clairvoyant as to have predicted everything that happened yesterday. And you're so sure they won't win another game...will you still watch? And if so, why?

[#56fanatic]

we all watch because we are fans of our Redskins. win or lose. this is addressed in another thread of questioning ones fanhood. just because we have seen so many Redskin losses over this season go the same way this one did, you could kind of feel this one was going to end up the same way.
We all watch because we want to grasp onto a particular drive or play that gives us hope that maybe this game, or maybe the next play. We all watch because this is who we are. we are Redskin fans that keep supporting our team week in and week out. I bitch and maon every week about the crap I see on the field and more importantly the crap coming from the sidelines, but I find my self every sunday with the same nervous excitement that we will kick who evers ass we are playing.
Every week I will be there w/ the Cooley Jersey on infront of a ton of Carolina Panthers fans screaming and hollering like we are winning the freaking super bowl.
This is why I watch, this is why I will continue to watch every game, every week, every year. Because I know, eventually, hopefully before my ticket punched, I will see that team I want us to be , the champs!

Honestly, I will not talk about playoffs until we win next week.

We have to prove we can beat a team like the Chicago bears. Once that happens, let the talk begin.
