We'll see against the Mighty Lions?

As long as Barry Sanders isn't suiting up, I like our chances.

All losing streaks end at some point. What better opponent for the lowly Lions than one that can't score?

I don't know how people define that, but we rarely get outplayed. Most of what I've observed over the past 10 games is that we've beat ourselves or we were just not prepared.

Well if you're always beating yourself and you're not prepared then what does that make you? I don't think we're bad, we're just average. I think we're well coached on defense. I think we're poorly coached on offense.

Please defend this claim. I'll take just one example.

I never see blown coverages, guys seem to be in position. We don't give up a lot of big plays.

[cc47]

Maybe it's just me, but I think our secondary gets torched all year, just not happy with the coverages we play.

[CRedskinsRule]

In the end, if we move the ball like we did today, the plays will come. I still believe it's possible. I would just like to see it on the field. I am sure the players feel the same way

[cc47]

Very good point......How 12th how do you stop it?

[cc47]

It's been that way since Gibbs 2.

[cc47]

I used to think that we were as talented as anyone, I am not thinking that anymore. Especially at WR.

[cc47]

Our skill positions are not as talented as the upper tier of the NFL.

It's a funny game...

If JC throws a good ball to Kelly 1st play, Sellers catches his friggin TD pass, D Thomas catches his, we all feel 10000% different right now.

with that said... the stretch play w/ 2:12 on clock out of bounds = terrible... going for it on the 2 with a 2 point lead = terrible, needing the special teams coach to yell at your head coach to wait to call a timeout = terrible...

So yes, Zorn = terrible OVERALL today (and does truly seem over his head as HC)... but one throw & 2 catches makes for us all not needing Prilosec this afternoon

You are spot on.
Unfortunately it seems like we never make those plays and I don't think it's a coincidence.

You win some, you lose some...I'm seeing some of these other teams losing after looking very good last week. I guess a W is a W...as much as you want 40 pts. right now we're better than any 0-2 teams.

And, for all of our problems, we wake up tomorrow tied for second place, unless the Giants and Cowboys tie tonight.
