redskins59 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 If we can throw against a defense like Tampa, we can throw against anybody. While Jason Campbell threw two interceptions, and yet has to prove that he can win games from behind, I was encouraged by the fact that he threw for 301 yards. In the second half, the offense was moving the ball very easily. Gibbs made a few boneheaded decisions as well. Also, Portis, a veteran fumbled the ball twice, and moss fumbled it once. It was a bad day in terms of turnovers. As far as JC's fumble is concerned, that is clearly not his fault. He was trying to throw the ball, and Tampa's player just made a good move. That one was Chris Samuels' fault, if I am correct. Total yards by offense: 400+. Now, we just need to be consistent and stop all the fumbling. This season is lost. We will surely be better next year if we manage our cap situation. We are 19.5 million above the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all can keep coming up with excuses on why this and why that. But the fact is we are a losing team. They are teams with a winning record and not as talent as us. Thats has to do with the teams playing harder or their coaching is superior then ours. Next year it will be the same story becuase we wont change our coaching and our players wont play hard. They just wanna get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Our offense, now that Joe has let Al open it up, can move the ball on anybody. Even with an injury-riddled line and a bunch of journeymen receivers. We just leave far too many points on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroburrito Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 bucs defense was padded by the awful offenses they played. like 6 of them. car, atl, tenn, no and stl. during the time they played those teams they were all at the bottom.

USS Redskins Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Boy, what an absurd statement: We have a good team but cant win. Good teams win games, put up more than 13 pts and dont turn the ball over 6 times. This team is bad. Face it and live with it. It sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehogs Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 they had a rookie QB at the snap from about 90 seconds in to the game and they still did enough to beat us. There is always a reason for us losing - never the coaching, the players, people screwing up, crap time management, burning up time outs like chocolate biscuits. Never ever anything to do with this team. Someone always produces a stat about the other team's D or offense, yards, passes etc etc I'm amazed no one hasnt run up the usual thread of how we should be 10-1. With the usual claim of fact! its the truth! all you guys are just Campbell haters/Gibbs haters/Portis haters*....blah blah blah blah blah blah (*delete where applicable) We lost. Again. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 too bad we couldnt hold on to the ball vs the #1 defense, we were only able to put up well over 400 yards against them. this team sucks, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 There's a difference between us now and losing skins teams of the past. There is hope...I refuse to accept there isn't. Past seasons I've come to accept it during the first half of the season I still havene't this year. There's something intangible I can't put my finger but it feels like we're close. I need two things out of this team and FO - I need us to beat the pukes in the last game and we need to stick with it one more year. I really do think we're that close to something extraordinary and I haven't been one to say that before. Call me a homer but in the end that's what I am so it doesn't matter.

This team is bad. Face it and live with it. It sucks. Thinking the same thing on that post. Our Skins are flawed. Deeply flawed. Those first 4 damn fumbles shows proof of that. Ridiculas. Bad teams like our Skins, Raiders, Miami, perhaps the Rams have games like these. Good teams like the Cowturds, Packers, Colts dont. Lord. We are a joke. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As painful as it is to admit, I think you're right. What other explanation is there for nobody getting mad on the sidelines and rallying the troops. Someone should step up and be a leader (Fletcher, Cooley, Portis, Campbell where are you guys?). Hopefully a player runs across this. Step up.

These last minute heartbreaking losses are getting old. Same thing, different year. Redskins have a chance to win it and blow it. Something always happens to snatch the victory away and it's usually our own stupidity. So yes, Mr. Everything has a positive outlook, I'm almost at the point where I'd rather get blown out.

BthatRAD09 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 we had one of those games today. 4 fumbles doesnt mean we suck it means we had a horrible DAY and our defense did awesome today only giving up field goals on those early possessions.

TheLongshot Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm tired of all these moral victories. You and I both know it isn't about "moral victories". It is about getting better, and this team is getting better. Problem is, it isn't as fast as you'd like. Personally, I wish we could fix all of our problems in one offseason, but that rarely happens to a 5-11 team that looked very much like its record. I pretty much knew that we wouldn't have enough to do much better than 8-8 in the offseason. Not all problems were going to get solved.
