Coolio47 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Leave it to ESPN to give us a somewhat backhanded compliment :doh: : 11. Redskins Mike Shanahan is winning ugly, but Donovan McNabb is still a key to success down the stretch. (Clayton) 14. Eagles Kevin Kolb didn't look too bad while beating the 49ers in San Francisco. (Clayton) 15. Giants Tom Coughlin is getting the message to the Giants as they climb back into the playoff picture. (Clayton) LULZ: 19. Cowboys Too bad there isn't a penalty for excessive underachievement. The Cowboys would be flagged.

IONTOP Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'll take winning ugly then losing admirably everyday. They gave us the better ranking at least. Apparently there's only an 8 spot penalty for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think the Giants should be rated higher than the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolio47 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I just looked at the "expert rankings" on nfl.com and I noticed Bucky Brooks has us listed at 18, with Giants/Eagles listed at 11 and 12 :doh: While every other expert has us at 8-14.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Giants should be ranked higher then the skins..at least in this fans opinion I agree. They've shown the ability to dominate other teams. I guess we'll see when we play them in December, but they worry me more than any other team in the NFC right now.

authentic Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think the Giants may be the best team in NFCE, as much as I hate to admit it. They violated Houston on sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think the Giants may be the best team in NFCE, as much as I hate to admit it. They violated Houston on sunday. There is a way to find out who the better team is. Can't wait till we play the Giants. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacoby6644 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I wouldn't call the "winning ugly" comment back handed at all. In fact it is the truth. The 3 wins were not the most, well pretty. There hasn't been any cruising to 10-15 point wins. So I think that is a fair statement. Look at it this way, at least they are getting credit for the wins!!!! And as some of you stated, I think the Giants should be ranked a head of the Skins at least knowing what we know today. I just think they are playing a little better and they have a little more consistancy on their side. Just my opinion. HTTR!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Giants should be ranked higher then the skins..at least in this fans opinion I HATE the Giants, but I agree, their defense from the past 2 weeks alone should put them above us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 There hasn't been any cruising to 10-15 point wins. We did it in the Texans game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Winning ugly is still winning. Most teams in the NFL that win consistently, end up winning this way often. In the modern NFL most games are not blow outs. There is no clear cut dominant team. There may be a team that on paper is judged to be more talented, but at the end of the day talent only takes you so far. (See Cowboys) The truth is that up until this season the Redskins have for most of the last two decades always lost this way, games that could have gone either way, but we always seem to find a way to lose them. Now they are finding ways to win them instead. Games that come down to the last play (or mistake) that is made to finally decide the outcome. Usually, it's not Landry picking off that pass on the last drive, it's the Redskins QB throwing a pick when he has a chance to drive us down the field to win the game. I believe the fact that we are winning now, is not by accident, and most definitely has nothing to do with "luck." The Redskins are winning because of the mental toughness of the team, and the preparation since the off-season from the coaches right down to bottom end of the roster that held EVERYONE on the team accountable.
