Next year, already?

heybigstar · 11-21-2005, 05:12 PM

I love TheWarpath.net, it has been great since i joined a year ago, great place for serious Skins fans, a place of great optimism for our beloved team.

But now, I hate saying this, but it looks like we have to look at next year already . I mean there is still that small chance we win out and make the playoffs, but a small chance (i was one of the few who voted for 11-5.

Of course we can analyze the games for what they are, but after 10 games we are more than likely not in the playoffs again.

It just hurts.

I dont want to have to comment on next years team yet... gosh darnit!

Any thoughts?

i have a feeling we'll be in it until the end. as redskins fans we've becoming used to whipping out calculators and writing up what-if scenarios pretty much until the final few wks. yes the nfc is tougher this year but someone will stumble. when we come out and smash NYG, DAL, and PHI at the end of the year we maybe be on top of the NFC EAST!!!

otherwise. this will just be another step. there is no doubt we are improved this year. i feel that if we do fall short this time around, we'll be better next yr. maybe revamp the dline. a few additions here and there and viola.

16-0... SB CHAMPS!!

I would say we are in it until we lose 7 games. Last year if certain things went our way, we held the tie breakers on a few teams and would have gotten in at 7-9. We are not out of it until the experts say we are eliminated. Until then the light is still on, although it is a bit dim!!

damn right!

I do and will not talk about next year until this year is over, regardless my opinion is we finish 7-9 at the best. Next question.
I also kinda think that as usual we will have a chance to make the playoffs just to be ripped from them once we all think we can make them. I love getting my guts ripped out.

BigSKINBauer · 11-21-2005, 05:52 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DON"T WANT TO HEAR IT. i am gonna say the exact thing i said in the other thread

We were supposed to win 1 out of Tampa and Eagles, 3 of the next 4 and 2 of the last 3 division games. WE DID WIN 1 out of tampa and ealges and we have lost one but if we win our next three we are money and back on track, had we won the raiders and lost to the chargers the season wouldn't be over! ITS NOT OVER! until we lose two more no way i bend over and take it.

who knows giants playing the seahawks at seahawks, and dallas playing denver we could be only one game behind. the next week giants and dallas play each other and one has to lose,so i am told, and we might be tied with one of them sons a bitches, we are going for the division and not stopping till we get there.

THE BEAST OF THE EAST!! anyone with me? The beast of the east?, th the b beas o the hell with it.

Tell you one thing, I will be just as loud against the bolts as I was against the Raiders, which was screaming the ENTIRE game when we were on Defense. Yes that included the last drive that they had. If anyone around me asks me to sit down or be quiet then they will prob get screamed at. Go skins and even tho I think this season will end bad, I will never give up hope!

PLAY OFFS BABY

saskin · 11-21-2005, 08:11 PM

I thought we still had a chance but after Oakland in Washington.....no way. Might as well just wait for next year.....only thing I ask for is for us to have a better record than last year and possibly knock Dallas.

Rockinganker · 11-21-2005, 08:17 PM

I can't wait for Sunday, Bolts are going down. Team now has a chip on its shoulder. When was the last time this team we the underdog? Seems like the Skins play their asses off when they are expected to lose. I say bad mouth the team as much as possible, make 'em play. Go Skins!

How can they have a chip on their shoulder when Gibbs makes them think the game was taken away from them with bad calls. From the moment the game ended he started badmouthing the refs. I'm sure the whole team was bitching about the pin stripes all week and not about how they sucked on D. So, hopefully there should be a real big chip on their shoulder that Says "You guys suck". That should get them going.

Luxorreb · 11-22-2005, 08:00 AM

What if Alstott was ruled down by contact and this past Sundays play wasn't ruled dead until the runner was down? 2 different outcomes. Both decided by officials. Sure we shouldn't have been in that position but we've been in that position 8 of 10 games. Why would I give up now? Redskins have 6 regular season games left. Things bounce right for us we'll be atleast in the wildcard game. NEVER SAY DIE! If you're not a real fan you should try the NYG fansite or possibly the Colts fansite. As for offseason talk, save it til after Christmas, please.

bertoskins · 11-22-2005, 08:17 AM

well for me playoff or not
I will feel compensated when we again beat dallas and revenge on the giants

heybigstar · 11-22-2005, 10:36 AM

If i knew we would beat NYG and Dallas at home, id say we have a legit shot at the playoffs.
