I feel sorry for our defense this year all that and NO Offense at qb ,rb or receivers

You are joking right? If not, that "Camp Scrub" moniker really fits you quite well.

This feels like 2005. Lets get the rally caps on, lets get some player meetings, lets get some all white jerseys. 5-6... 5 in a row or we don't go. Lets just keep the faith for a few more weeks. I can't beleive the giants lost. Detroit lost and that was our opening but we are one game out. We don't deserve to be in this but we are. There are a lot of teams in it too so i know we got to win all 5. This is no joke. 5 in a row.

We are all probably going to want to bitch and moan for a couple days but lets do that and then start hoping. We have two home games coming up. Lets all be loud and cheer on the team. It should be over but it isn't so lets not give up.

Our 2005 schedule was harder with 3 games against division teams. Lets hope that dallas comes in clinched or something and we can get them on an easier week. Taylor and Thomas are going to be back. Let understand we still have a fighting chance.

How about worrying about winning one game instead of starting threads like this. 5 in a row is just silly talk after a tough loss.

Damn right. 5-3 at the halfway point was a mirage. This team is basically not very good. It's time we all got real about that.

True, but what does it matter if we really are good or not. For some reason we are still in the playoff hunt. We don't deserve it but so what? I think buffalo is a good team but we can get lucky at home and off a short week I see us having an advantage against chicago. It is very possible if we win the next two games we will be in the playoffs at the end of those two weeks. We will probably get a chance to lose 1 game and still be in it when it is all said and done.

Too many close ones that hurt us this year. I think its possible but everyone has to be playing on theyre highest level. I hope the players arent as negative as lot of you cause then were def screwed.

Maybe the team should worry about the next game. Because i am not part of the team, i can look past it. I don't really care for the difference in 8 and 9, unless 9wins gets us into the playoffs. I think 10 wins will probably be needed for the playoffs but 9 is a good possibility too. So all i am saying is that the playoffs are still within reach and as fans we shouldn't lose hope.

If I was on the team maybe i would be thinking that we should go one game at a time and see what happens. As a fan i don't see a point in that. I want to make the playoffs and i am just pointing out the fact that this is still very possible so we should rally behind the team because too many times our fans are quiet at games late in the season. But if we want to act like we are on the team... no more late nights and no more fucking bitches either.

Dallas and green bay are easily the 2nd and 3rd best team in the NFL and yet we played better than both of them but lost! We just cant finish games JC is very good but he has little talent at WR. Moss is killing us with his injuries. AND IF COOLEY DOESN'T MAKE THE PRO BOWL THAN THE LEAGUE IS RETARTED! He is our best target for JC

[GTripp0012]

We don't need to win ten games. There isn't some magic number for wins to make the playoffs.

9 wins does it nearly for sure, 8 wins gives us a fighting chance at a playoff spot.

Can we finish 3-2? Easily. Can we finish 4-1? Maybe. Lord knows you can only turn the ball over 4+ times in a game so many times a season.

[theJBexperience]

We've been must win for weeks. The team's known it, and we still haven't won. I'm ready to look to free agency and the draft.

[MTRedskinsFan]

Reality check... Every game we win from here out is a higher draft pick foregone.

This team does not play to win under it's current leadership. Sure the defense or offense will come out flashing for a game but there's never been consistency. Hell, a reasonable person could argue that neither group has even played a full game w/ what it takes to win. This season is a bust. Management ought to spend the rest of the season testing 2nd and 3rd stringers to see who is going to take over for the starters who suck and/or get hurt all the fucking time. Then the FO can better assess the team's needs through the draft (mostly) and maybe through FA. I know this wasn't supposed to be a rebuild year but hey, it's time for the fuckers who make the big bucks to face the music.

I was as frustrated as anyone after today's loss but that logic is just twisted. As Herm Edwards said, you play to win the game, all the time. With Arizona somehow finding a way to lose to the 49ers today, the Redskins still have a reasonable shot to make a run for the playoffs. The NFC is a complete mess, Detroit has a very tough schedule and seemingly everyone else in the Conference is bunched at 5-6 (Chi, Min, NO, Az, and hopefully Phi). Given their poor conference record (in 2005 the Redskins had a tremendous conference record, which gave them tiebreakers over basically everyone in the NFC) they are going to need help. Luckily they have beaten Det and Arz and will get a shot at Detroit and Minnesota before the thing is over. If they keep finding ways to lose then all these scenarios become the haven of desperate fans grasping for hope, but right now they still are alive, despite their best efforts. Rackers missing that kick against Arizona (and the whole bizarre sequence of events in the desert) saved the Redskins, for this week at least.

Fucking beautiful! Limpdick our way into the playoffs because the NFC is a disgrace to the sport and say woopidido. I'm talking about winning as well, but on a more meaningful level. Obviously there are guys who need to move on, so let's give the younglings a chance to show their stuff and start to improve. It helps in the future in two huge ways: betters the up-and-com'rs themselves AND gives the coaches (whoever they shall be next year) a better idea of what this team needs to address in the draft and possibly through FA. Edwards is right, and I am talking about building a winning team here. As I said, none of us expected this to become a rebuild year but who knew that Moss would become a bust, Portis unreliable, and that injuries (among many older players I might add) would obliterate much of the team?

Can we please start to think long term?

This isn't 2005 and there is no way in hell they will win 5 games in a row. Stick a fork in them, the Redskins are done and the fat lady is in the dressing room getting ready to perform.

[NYCSkin]

For those of you who like some historical precedent--the Skins were on a three game losing streak in 2005 prior to the 5 game run they had--just the situation they are in now...
