Season over?

Luxorreb · 10-31-2005, 01:45 AM

Moss dropped passes and fumbled, Cooley fumbled, Brunell threw a pick, Arrington missed a TD saving tackle, Sean Taylor missed tackles, Betts fumble on KR, OL couldn't block all day run or pass. Everyone made mistakes and played horribly. No way I've given up. As redrock skins said niners beat the 5-2 Bucs today. Maybe the Bucs will trade us Rice for Ramsey??? Doubtful. Anything can happen on any Sunday. We have a good team that made mistakes from our stars all the way down.
The center of the OL seemed to collapse far too often today for any kind of offense to perpetuate itself. 1 positive of the game I thought was assuring everyone that Ramsey still enjoys spending way to much time on his back. Next week Prime Time against the failing Eagles @ home. Can't wait, GO SKINS!!!

i'm hoping this is a one time thing.

i was watching Dallas beat the sad Cardinals, and as I kept peeking over to the Redskins game it was the first time I have ever thought that the NFL was fixed. 36-0?!?!?! What!!!

Not even close to over.

If the season were over today, both wild card teams would come from the NFC South, where three teams are tied at 5-2.

I guess all that talk about how good the NFC East was premature.

I can't even comprehend how anyone can say the season is over.

I agree. Way too much football left in the season.

BrudLee · 10-31-2005, 11:29 AM

The Giants looked as good as they are ever going to look yesterday. There were prepared to play, and inspired to do so.

The Redskins looked as bad as professionals can look. We gave up huge plays on the ground, our pass defense was below average, our offense was putrid. Everything that could go wrong, did.

This was "the Perfect Storm" of crappiness. We will never look as bad as we did yesterday.

This team is better than they looked. Maybe not as good as we'd all hoped, but certainly better than that.

firstdown - see Famous Animal House quotes

The Giants were better prepared, had a better plan, and stuck to it. The Skins were ill-prepared, abandonded their plan from the word go, and played like this was their first time ever on the field.

You better believe the Skins will work their asses off to prepare for the Eagles this week. The matchup is favorable, since the Eagles now throw 8 out of 10 plays, and the Skins own the #1 pass defense.

How can anyone vote to say season over, when the goddamn Skins have a winning record?!?!?!?!?!? Even non-Skins fans have to say that, with the Skins outplaying their opponents in 2 of 3 losses on the road, that they have a chance to go 6-3, 5-4 and make their way into the playoffs. Gimme a break.

firstdown · 10-31-2005, 12:20 PM

I voted no, it was the day before halloween I think Gardner was dressing up as Skins players and dropping everything that came his way. It was just a day that the Giants were fired up and the Skins just did not match their level of intensity. It had to be hard for an opposing them to watch all of the pregame stuff and get fired up to beat them. I think the stuff with all the family on the field before the game should have been done during half time. Its not realy fair to make the other team participate in the morning of the other teams owner. They should have just allowed a moment of silence before the game. I'm not making any excuses we played realy bad, but it has to be hard to get fired up as the grand daughter and all his other granchildren are out on the field morning their loss before the game.

Jamaican'Skin · 10-31-2005, 12:22 PM

This season is far from over. I feel sorry for the Eagles next week, cuz they are gonna be facing a very pissed off Joe Gibb's team

There are three things you have to do right in the NFL to win.

1. Run the ball
2. Stop the run
3. Win the turnover battle

If you can do that consistently, you will have at least a 70% winning percentage.

WE DID NONE OF THE ABOVE YESTERDAY.

If we fix these problems, then the season is far from over. If not, look forward to the number 5 draft spot again. It is that simple.

Figure out what happened with our O-line yesterday, and half the problems go away. We will get back to our ball control game and protect our D-line' run defense by keeping them off the field.

Get some help on that D-line to stop the run outside. Skins do a good job clogging up the middle, but the outside is killing us. Fix that, and you can actually overcome a turnover or two.

But with all three things going wrong, no chance to win, ever. Yesterday was a very miserable day for skins fans. Hope there are no repeats in the future.

RedskinRat · 10-31-2005, 12:45 PM

Over? Why, because they stumbled against the Giants after crushing the Niners?

As Brian Mitchell said on the Redskins Post Game show, Can't get too high after a win and you can't get too low after a loss.

I look forward to the rest of the season to reveal the character of the team.

hail_2_da_skins · 10-31-2005, 01:20 PM

I don't think the season's over but it doesn't look favorable if the Skins revert to pre-season form. The offense was progressing from game to game and then they hit a brick wall. I was concerned about the Giants game but no way should they have been thrashed like that. We will see what kind of character this team has next week. In years past, they have folded the tent and gone home. I hope this is not the case this year.

Unfortunately, we traded away this years draft spot to the Denver Broncos so we could get Jason Campbell. SO we couldnt even look forward to that.
