Commander Adama Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We're not really first place, considering all 4 teams could end up with the same record after 4 games.Technically, yes. But it may not be anything different than the beginning of the season, when we're all 0-0 Technically my butt! We are 2-0 in the division. No one else is.

Stew Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We are 2-0 in the division, and 1/3 of the way through our NFC East schedule. We are 1/3 of the way to the playoffs if we can play well within our conference. As long as we keep getting better and we win, I dont mind squeeking these games out each week. Portis looked good, great YPC. Torain looked very good as well. Activating Torain and Banks has made this team a little bit better. If we can build some momentum, we can win our divison.

OuterBanksTarHeel Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I WAS worried about GB, but the almost lost at Lambeau to the freaking LIONS I'm worried about the Lions. We lost to them last year and they are a very scrappy, tough team. We will have our hands full against them at Ford Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 The Eagles and Bears almost lost to the Lions too.I think that just shows how crazy this season is. This season is definitely different. For the first time in recent memory, the NFC East is still up for grabs after 4 weeks and the Redskins control their own destiny. There aren't any teams in the NFC East that I think can walk into Fedex and dominate us. That makes me very, very happy about where we are at right now... regardless of how we got here.

Crazy Levi Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 My only regret is that all of the Extremeskinsers who killed themselves last week after the Rams loss aren't around to enjoy today's win. Let's raise a glass for them. I know they are looking down and smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Fan Standing Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Seems like a lot of Skins fans came into the season expecting Super Bowl. New coaches, New QB, New Schemes. Everyone knew things were going to be shaky at the beginning of the season but we've still managed to beat Dallas and the Eagles. I get frustrated during games too but this talk about we should have loss is ridiculous. Let's enjoy it and hope we keep improving every week. Hail!

Stew Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Winning a divisional game on the road is huge. Hypotheically speaking, if we win the other two divisional home games the worst we could be is 4-2.... still pretty good in the division. We steal another divisional road game and its game over. Just a hypothetical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalRecall Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Newsflash: We will probably lose at least 3 of the next 4 games. Still happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 #1 in the East...let's enjoy it!!! :refill: I know I am Let's raise a glass for them. I know they are looking down and smiling. Yeah, bullcrap. You know they're still pissed, hate our D, hate McNabb, hate everyone and have concerns about Orakpo not "doing enough." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Jesus Christ people.Every single new thread here is a thread about how badly we played, who we should cut or why we should have lost. Can't people here just be happy that we won? We just finished up our second divisional victory of the season. That makes us 2-0 against our own division and tied for first place. That's two full games more than we won against a divisional opponent last season. Note to board. We won, be happy about it. I couldn't agree with you more, but the Washington Redskins aren't tied for first, they are in first. This is due to the fact that they are the only team in the division with divisional wins.

Crazy Levi Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Newsflash: We will probably lose at least 3 of the next 4 games. Still happy? LOL - another expert! I love how you guys are just marking wins and losses in the future. You do realize that they are actually going to PLAY these games don't you? WHy bother even watching when you already know they'll lose? Right...cause they might win like they did today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Seriously. I couldn't imagine a board where most people were unhappy to be in first place. This is why this is called ExtremeSkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm glad we won. However, why is it that when people complain after a loss, it's supposed to be looked down on because supposedly they had too high expectations and this team is just rebuilding...blah, blah, blah. But then when we win, I see the same folks who were criticizing people for having ridiculous expectations, suddenly talking about winning the division and stuff like that. Kind of funny.

I get very frustrated too, and I'm not thinking we're going to the Superbowl, and I know we have a tough road ahead of us, but just gotta hope for the best and hope that over the next year or two, our coaching staff continues to adjust and acquire the young personnel needed to run our schemes.

LBetts Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Newsflash: We will probably lose at least 3 of the next 4 games. Still happy? Well, yeah, but that's because we've got a string of really good teams coming up (And overall we've a brutal schedule this year). So it's probably good that we're 2-0 in the Conference then sin't it?

Veretax Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Did we play great? No, but w played well enough to win. But man that RAms loss smarts now that we are looking at GB. This team could be 8-8, 9-7 up to 12-4 depending on how they play down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that we are going to win the division by any means. What I am saying though, is that we are in control of our own destiny. What I am saying though, is that we just won a game that we would have lost last season. We should, as a fan base, feel good about that. Also, it's not wrong to point out our shortcomings in a victory like this. The reason I made this thread is because there wasn't one thread on the first page that was positive.

There's a lot of delusional people around here. I predicted a win in this game at the beginning of the season. I figured the Skins would be motivated to win for McNabb and I thought Kolb would still be starting. But, after seeing this game, I don't see us winning the next 3 games (Packers, Colts, and a resurgent Bears) and even the Lions game is questionable. I'm a Redskins' fan, but I'm a realistic fan.

TaylorPickSix Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 We gotta follow this up with a victory over the packers at home next week, which I will be attending. Definitely doable, but we're gonna have to play better next week. Our defense needs to learn how to capitalize and finish making big plays. If that's the case, the defense that showed up this week and against Dallas will be closer to the Saints defense last year. If we revert to the Texans and Rams games though, we'll be lucky to go 4-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
