Thinking Skins Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Both the Titans and Giants will slip because they have soft schedules. It'll be interesting to see who's with us at 7-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the right hand side you can use the drop down to pick another team to see their week 6 standing. The cowturds are at number 4!!!! Hip Hip Hoooray!!!!

MurrayH81 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I sure hope the players are in the frame of mind to earn the 7-1 record they are being granted by fans and pundits. Our 3 opponents are professional sports teams and human beings. As such, they cannot be overlooked. If our team plays their 'A' game for all 3, then we should be in that state, but historically, this team doesn't focus well on opponents that they should beat easily. While I have seen a new trend forming with Zorn as coach, I can only hope that it continues to counter the historical tendency of our players. Call me nervous but hopeful.

Please stop the 7-1 talk guys, it freaks me out. At the end of the day, St. Louis still has guys like Steven Jackson and Torry Holt, Cleveland has playmakers in Donte Stallworth, Braylon Edwards, and Kellen Winslow. And well, the Lions...ok, we should beat them. Lets just take it for what it is, WE ARE 4-1, PERIOD! We'll see where we're at three games from now.

I don't play for the Redskins so I can look at the next games. With that being said, the old Redskins would be good for at least one lost in the next three games. But with this new Redskins team it is not ridiculous to say that we WILL win these next three games. But it is the NFL, you know any given Sunday.

fwo40 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Serious string of trap games...St Louis with a bye week to prepare, and a coach to rally around, and Bulger back in-that could be trouble. Really. Cleveland has the best talent of the 3 and could start clicking on offense by the time they play us. And the Lions...well, as Miami proved last year-it's very hard to go winless. Hopefully we don't get caught by the laws of average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien1191 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Tenn is good, but we should be ahead of them. Our opponents are 15-9, theirs are 5-17 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess_in_beachtown_nc Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The Giants should also slip once they play a team with a .5 or better in the win column. This irritates me... they've played competators with a TOTAL W-L of 5-13 (and of which, we gave them 4 of those 5 W's when they beat us.) Our beaten competators Total W-L is 11-8, which is way harder than what they have. Power rankings don't mean much when the #1 team is only beating teams with loosing percentages.

WolfMan Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yep.. every once of my being screams "trap game(s)" but with ZORN commanding we just might not repeat the past when games like this come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooley said on Monday on DC101 - everyone please go listen to it - they are NOT taking any of the games lightly even though the radio jockey was making it seem like they are easy games.

jkalnasy Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Serious string of trap games...St Louis with a bye week to prepare, and a coach to rally around, and Bulger back in-that could be trouble. Really. A washed up quarterback with a brand new offensive system along with a failing OL that won't support its running game under a team that hasn't managed more than 14 points this season doesn't speak leaps and bounds about their ability to execute. I'm not writing it off, but even with a BYE, St.Louis knows they could be walking into the toughest game they have to play this season, playing a team on a 4 game winning streak at home with a pumped up crowd off of 2 huge division wins. Unfortunately for St.Louis, they need a win bad, and if it doesn't come this week, they will get even more demoralized and are likely to be one of the worst in the league. In short, don't write the game off, but don't make it sound like St.Louis has so much a chance to win as someone like Philly or Dallas. If we play St.Louis the same way we played those games, we all know who will come out on top, and with the way Zorn has been coaching and on top of the team this season, its likely to happen. Humble is the name of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rams, they have weapons and don't forget Al Saunders may know a few of our player weaknesses. They have weapons, this will be another tough game. The Lions, well we should beat them. One game at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkalnasy Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Did anyone predict Miami beating New England? I certainly thought it possible after Brady was taken out for the season and quite a few of New England's players left after last season to join other teams for more money. This is a different situation imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
