The Skins Won't Win Another Game!

[cpayne5]

Now that I've got your attention...

CHILL OUT

It's one game. Just like the Giants, Saints, Cards, Cowboys, and Eagles game were all just one game, respectively.

The team isn't as good as most of us thought 4 hours ago, and they're not as bad as what most of us are thinking right now.

Go do something outside on this beautiful Fall day (in the DC area).

On to the Browns. Go Skins!

OMFG itz ova! FIRE ZORNN. JC sucks, bring in COLT!! ItZ ALSO ALL SNYDER's fault!!!

I NEED FROST....DERKA DERRR!!!!

I don't think anyone thinks the sky is falling. But we definitely regressed today and blew an opportunity AT HOME for what on paper should have been a victory.

If I had to put a positive spin on it, I'd say that's our big wake up call. We've tasted success and proved that we can play with anyone this season, but maybe this was the gut punch we needed.

Remember, it's not IF you get knocked down. That happens to everyone. It's how you respond to getting knocked down. Most of these guys played for Gibbs the last 4 seasons and have dealt with plenty of adversity.

All I have to say is Cleveland better watch out next week. I think we'll come out focused and PISSED OFF.

The skins are the same team they were 4 hours ago (pretty good) they just got complacent and let the headlines get to their fat heads. Now that they are back to reality hopefully they won't repeat the same mistake of under estimating the opponent.

That's my whole mentality. One game. We have a great record at 4-2 so just chill out. It's not like we have a losing record. The team played well aside from the turnovers so we have nothing to panic about. We just have to keep proving people wrong.

CHEER UP REDSKINS FANS!

I like how Zorn takes the season: in quarter chunks. So the first quarter, the 'skins were 3-1. In the second quarter so far, the 'skins are 1-1. If they do the 3-1 ratio every quarter, they will be 12-4, and I'll take that ANY DAY.

I agree 100%. It's a little weird how everyone is mocking the "sky is falling" crowd already, when I don't think anyone is really panicking. I think everyone understands we had 3 TO and just dropped a game to a inferior opponent.

What makes me so mad is that this game just wipes away one of the GREAT games we've had the last two weeks.

We have to practice and play hard every week. If some of the players did'nt realize that, maybe they do now. I'd hate to be the Browns next week.

The complacency is what drives me up a wall. I know it happens all the time in the NFL but when our guys go there it's maddening. The o-line was the epitome of complacent through 3 full quarters and Jansen began looking like his preseason self again. I understand the last two weeks were huge battles but to force Zorn/JC to give up on the deep threat because the line won't pass protect against the f'ing Rams... wow!!!

All right, hold on a second. Just as there are those who tend to overreact after a loss, there are those who overreact to the overreactors.

This is a Washington Redskins message board. That means that when they lose, -- grasp yourselves here -- some members will be upset and actually post negative things relating to the loss. It goes with the territory.

While I haven't read every single post, I'd challenge anyone to point out the poster who says that Armageddon is upon us, and this team is actually headed for a 4-12 record. I don't think you'll find them. I've seen some pissed off fans -- and there should be. There is no excuse for losing to the Rams at home. That said, anything can happen on any given Sunday.

So everyone needs to "CHILL OUT." That includes those who are about to jump out of a window, and those who are apparently eager to find those who are upset that the Redskins lost.

Yeah, who knew the Rams had a pass rush? When was the last time the Redskins D had 4 sacks?

[Paintrain]

Coming out flat+turning the ball over+dropping interceptions+missing assignments=losing an NFL game. So we go 3-1 in this quarter of the season also, we're 1-1 so far with 2 winnable games coming up. Still on pace for a 12-4 season.

[johnerotten]

the skins gave a game away today.bad breaks with the fumbles and that 1st fg the rams banked in,stuff like that went their way today.there's 10 games left in a long season,we live to fight another week.

it,s games like today that will tell us how this team will respond next week..

to sum it up today the skins weren,t in it from the start emotionally.they were careless and it showed throughout the game but this is only 1 game in a 16 game season...we will bounce back from this and respond with the confidence we have show these past 4 weeks prior to today..

on to cleveland..
