footballhenry Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 So where do you think we fall after four weeks of football? At 3-0, if you were an NFL analyst where would you put the Skins considering all things objectively? Personally I would put us around #12 as of right now.

inevitable Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Definatley in the top 10, being undefeated and everything, but not in the top 5. The Bengals, Colts, Bucs, Eagles, Falcons all belong ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have been around 18 or so to start the year. I'd put us about seventh right now. Indy, Philly, Cincy, Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh, us, Tampa......

I mean they have had some pretty convincing wins and have looked much better offensively than we have overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the difference between teams ranked 5-15 is pretty minimal right now. (the dreaded parity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I like around 11-13 spot... We are playing better each week, but we need an offensive breakout to really prove something... I also would like one game were the opponent can't blame it on this or that freak incident.. for once I want.. "the redskins absolutley won this game without incident" .

I mean they have had some pretty convincing wins and have looked much better offensively than we have overall. It's not really hard to argue we should be ahead of Tampa. They've not played anyone who appears capable of doing anything. They weren't that convincing against the Lions who lost on a bad replay decision or they wouldn't even be in the Top 10. They beat the Vikings by 8 on the strength of a late 71-yard scamper by Williams when they were running out the clock, else that's a 1-point win against a horrid team at present. They beat a bad Green Bay team by one, because Green Bay missed an extra point and a pretty easy 42-yard missed field goal. They beat Detroit by 4 when the officials inexplicably overturned a touchdown that would have sent them down. They pounded a terrible Buffalo team, which everyone is doing. To even suggest they've had "impressive" wins is to simply not be in connection with reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Not ready to put us in the top ten yet. Not until I see the O finish off a few more drives and the D show that the late backpedal against Seattle was just an aberration. We're a tough out, no question. But still very much a work in progress. On gut alone, I put us around 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I voted in the 11 -15 group. Let's see how the next two weeks shake out. I would be happy with at least a split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isifhan Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I would have to say somewhere between 11-13 is about right. We need at least one game where every facet of the game is solid before we can even consider jumping into the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 44 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 mmm I like the list just in a different order. Indy, Philly, Atlanta, Cincy, Pittsburgh, Denver, Us, Tampa Weird season already, just 4 games in; Most people have Philly ahead of Atlanta even though Philly lost to Atlanta. Yet it's hard to argue that Atlanta is the better team. The polls should become clearer after the next couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I also agree with 11-13. I know our offense hasn't been scaring anyone but it is progressing week by week and it will be kicking on all cylinders soon. Moving the ball has not been a problem the Red Zone has and we started addressing that issue against Seattle. Our third down conversion against Seattle was just sick.

PapaDRoc Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Top 10. Anyone who says bottom 17 is just ingnorant. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1SkinsFan Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 top ten, even though espn has us at 11, we still moved up 4 spots, and cbs sportsline has us at 7 so we are rite in the mix of 5-14. if we beat the broncos and/or chiefs, we will move into the top five.

terpfan Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Right now, top 15. If we win next week, top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To even suggest they've had "impressive" wins is to simply not be in connection with reality. Umm...now Im not trying to bring the mood down but who have WE beat in comparison to the Bucs? I mean we beat the Bears by a measly two points, big whoop. We beat Dallas in Dallas but we were outplayed the whole game till the end and won by one point. We wouldv'e lost to the Seahawks had Brown not missed that fg, we beat them by 3 pts. The Bucs beat the Vikes and GreenBay at their respective houses, and then beat a somewhat solid crew in Buffalo and a very good Lions team. I mean seriously, I dont get how you spin all this and could honestly put us ahead of the Bucs right now and yet gripe when people put down the skins (combined 6pts more than our opponents, no rushing td's, no td's up to last 3 min of cowboys game,etc). It boggles the mind, again Im speaking objectively on all this a.k.a. taking the 'homer' out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It boggles the mind, again Im speaking objectively on all this a.k.a. taking the 'homer' out Right now Buffalo, Detroit, Minnesota and Green Bay are HORRIBLE. They aren't good. They aren't somewhat solid. The fact that the Bucs should have probably lost to Green Bay and actually DID lose to Detroit is a factor. If you're attempting to speak objectively you'd have to start by demonstrating you know what you're talking about. To this point I haven't seen that. It is impossible to be all that jazzed about Tampa's close wins against awful competition and not be happy with our close wins against better competition. And, we won while losing the turnover battle each game while they are plus three. The offenses they've played rate 21, 23, 29 and 31 in the league. The offenses we've played rate 2, 9 and 27. Our wins have been of greater quality thus far as our competition has been of greater quality to this point. This is as objective as it gets. Remember, now, I don't enter the conversation with the presumption that the play of everyone else deserves praise while our play deserves criticial inspection.

Die Hard Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Can we quit with the "Dallas outplayed us" crap? http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20050919_WAS@DAL http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/teamstats/NFL_20050919_WAS@DAL Look at those stats. With the exception of TIME OF POSSESSION and SACKS... where did they outplay us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
