S.T.real,lights,out Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I dont remember the last time we scored over 20 points against good teams 4 weeks in a row. I'm happy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcarey032 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 umm when you score more than 20 and the other team scores less than 20, that is Gibbs philosophy of winning in his first tenure and it seemed to work pretty well. Let's remember that we were going against one of the best defenses in the NFL this week. They hadn't given up a touchdown all year til we got there. So to get 23 in Philly is a great achievement. Like someone said earlier in the post, it is a start. Look at how we had leads and never scored enough. Now we fall behind, but we come back and score more than 20 and hold that team to under 20. I think that we are playing great and that of course there is always room for improvement, but let's not look down at this. If you had told me that we were 4-1 in the first five weeks, I would have called you a total homer. I am so glad that we went in there and showed great poise. It is really refreshing to see that we can go on the road and compete and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAAZ227 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 We are scoring enough to win. More than the other team. WTF do you want? +1 Note we are playing some of the toughest teams in their house. We should have had 30+ except for those bad calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnewbs Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm ECSTATIC that we're 4-1, but we've once again put up a fairly mediocre number of points despite lots of yards. We had over 450 yards of offense against NO, yet we had less than 30 points to show for it. The Arizona game wasn't a huge offensive game for us, so 24 points is acceptable there. But each of the past 2 weeks we've had nearly 400 yards of offense, yet we've gotten 26 and 23 points in each of them. We outgained the Eagles by over 130 yards, yet we beat them by less than a TD.With the weak schedule that we have over the next few weeks, we have an opportunity to fix that. I'll be happy with wins, but I would really like to see us put up a boatload of points over the next few weeks. (taken straight from NFL.com) TOUCHDOWN = 6 POINTS A touchdown is the biggest single score in a football game. It is worth six points, and it allows the scoring team an opportunity to attempt to get an extra point. To score a touchdown, the ball must be carried across the goal line into the end zone, caught in the end zone, or a fumble recovered in the end zone, or an untouched kickoff recovered in the end zone by the kicking team. http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/beginnersguidetofootball We beat the Eagles by 6 points in other words a touchdown.

terrifNick21 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 100% agree! The job is to outscore the opponent, and they've done it 4 weeks in a row now. Don't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I think the officials took a few points away from us that were there the last few weeks, glad it didn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Yeah but this is the fourth straight week this team has dominated the fourth, ran the clock down and gotten a victory. I could care less how much they score or not. This is the most effecient Skins offense I have ever seen. When we need a drive of any sorts, we get it. Even better, the 2nd half, where it matters the most is where we dominate. The crazy thing is were just getting started. Wait till our rookies start producing.

turbodiesel#44 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I think the officials took a few points away from us that were there the last few weeks, glad it didn't matter. Good point. Actually, not a good point, but a valid one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Some people aren't happy when we are losing, and unbeliveably, some aren't happy when we are WINNING.They are WINNING. Against GOOD teams. It's difficult to blow out good teams by 20+ points and our schedule has been extremely difficult since Game #1. The next three games we should score pretty well. Be happy for the Skins - they deserve it!!! Uhhh...who the hell isn't happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheItalianStallion Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 +1 Really...WTF??? What part of "4 and 1" does the OP not understand???What part of "I'm ECSTATIC about being 4-1" did YOU not understand?Honestly, after reading some of these replies, I have to wonder whether half the people who replied actually read the thread.

deejaydana Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 The OP does have a point, we can't settle for 3 points like we did in today's first half and expect to come out on top. That said, you still have to be happy w/the progression we're making on offense overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sure. But I don't think that's going to happen. Not based on what I've seen so far.It happened. Would you agree that this is a concern now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 The issue is that promising drives have stalled and we've either had to settle for FGs or punt after picking up several first downs. I'm not worried yet, but if we don't put up more points against the upcoming (weak) opponents, then we may have a problem. Now we're barely scoring 7-8 points a game.

letzgoterps Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Now we're barely scoring 7-8 points a game. Good bump. Proves that some people on this thread actually watch (or re-watch?) the game and can accurately and fairly critique the game while knowing what they're talking about.
