Looking ahead, it's only going to get worse

The two really, really tough teams on the remaining schedule, NYG and NO, we don't play them until the start of December. We'll probably be under a new coach by then, and we'll probably be a very different (if not improved team).

The key for the season is to get to the bye in good shape. Perhaps that means a simple 3-4 record, but playing Philly tough. If you lose the next two games to fall to 2-5, it hardly matters who we have after the bye, that's a 6-10 or 5-11 season.

Right now, I think NO is more beatable than Denver. The last two opponents have held Brees to NOTHING.

If by beatable you mean that we can beat these teams fists with our face, then..yeah, I guess they're beatable.

I guess I never thought of it like that.

GTripp, how can you call Denver beatable? They are undefeated and just beat the New England Freaking Patriots. They are playing excellent offense and defense. We, on the other hand, barely eeked by the pitiful lions and Rams and lost to the just as pitiful Panthers and Bucaneers. I know some say this team has a history of playing to the level of its competition, but that hasnt really been the case under Zorn. after our strong start last year, the only good team we beat was Philidelphia and we barely beat them.

The Redskins are a very very bad football team right now. I'd say we're one of the worst teams in the NFL and we are now without our two best starting offensive linemen. If we werent the worst offense in the NFL before last week, we certainly are now. Going back to the title of this thread, its only going to get worst. I think we lose to KC this week and the only team we beat for the rest of the year is Oakland... maybe. We are a 2-14 to 5-11 team right now. Unfortunately for us, there are alot of other really bad teams in the NFL this year, so we may not get a top 5 pick in next years draft to reward our "efforts."

Well at least a good draft pick will come our way. Who knows, we could trade it for more picks.

Does "eeked by" mean we lost now days.

I use to occasionaly use that strategy when I was very, very drunk. I don't recommend it.

I'll go 6-10...maybe 7-9. Maybe

You're a real Negative Nelly, a Debbie Downer, a Prickly Pete. Gosh, I just know we're gonna win out.

[wolfeskins]

i think the redskins will play better against better competition but the end results will be the same. the skins almost always play to the level of their apponent.

OMG! That article in your sig describes my feelings in the most exact way possible.

"The only thing [Dan Snyder] can do to help [his] team at this point is to walk in front of an oncoming cement mixer. Way to ruin everything, shithead. DIE." ... and that's about the only way the Skins will get better. The other ways would be to substitute the cement mixer for some other piece of heavy machinery.

Wow tell us how you really feel about Dan Synder.
We may not like the way he runs the Redskins but this may be a little to much from intelligent fans.

Of course I don't really wish death upon him. That was pretty much a metaphor for how screwed we are. Our problem is the owner -- who's unwilling to change -- and, since he'll never sell the team, we're f*cked until he dies. Prepare yourself for at least another 30 years of garbage.

My animosity towards Snyder is two-fold:

1.) I know Snyder "bought" the team, but IMO he doesn't "own" it -- he just gets to collect the profits. He has no right to do what he's done, which is destroy OUR team -- one of the oldest franchises in NFL history. I equate it to somebody buying the Statue of Liberty and dismantling it.

2.) Humility is kind of a big deal to me, and Dan Snyder has none. I have no respect for people like him, and very little tolerance. No humble person would ignore the opinions of experts for 10 years unless they thought they knew better. Snyder obviously thinks he knows more than the experts, which is to say that Snyder thinks he knows more about football than everyone. There isn't a SINGLE person in football who understands our situation and would support the decisions Snyder has made. Yet, Snyder hasn't changed his attitude -- he just changed the facade and thinks we're stupid enough to be fooled by it.

Before the season started I was predicting we'd go 12-4, and was depending on our defense to win a few games for us. Now it looks like 4-12, but I don't know where the other w is coming from. Maybe Oakland.
