Diehard Otis Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Humor me please. I don't post too often here, but I do lurk on the boards quite a bit, so allow me to share my thoughts: --Washington is REBUILDING. We have a young roster that is learning through a baptism of fire. Overall, I have been impressed with their efforts. --Philly is a veteran laden, Winning football organization that HAD to have this game to save their season. The Skins just didn't match that level of intensity today. --Further, it is very difficult to beat a quality team facing a Must-Win situation. Arguably, both of our losses have come facing division opponents under such scenarios. --Washington turned the ball over 4 times. Very hard to Win under those circumstances. --The Offense lost 3 Starters to injury, including the team's most talented blocker. The Skins simply aren't good enough YET to overcome that kind of adversity to Win the game. --Most Quarterbacks in the league are good for 1 or 2 clunkers out of 16 contests. Rex had one today. --The Eagles are BY FAR the most talented, effective offense our defense has faced this year. Yes, they took it on the chin a little bit, but still held them to 20 points, giving the O a chance to Win late. Not too bad. --WASHINGTON IS STILL 3-2 WITH EVERYTHING STILL ON THE TABLE!!! Let's not bury the fellas too fast. I think 9-7 is a reasonable, attainable goal this year (and still progress). The best part is, these Redskins gain Experience. These experiences in the heat of competition will pay handsome dividends down the road. I'm pissed we lost, but I sure am happy with the direction we're sailing towards. The Skins will be fine.

brad21always Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Very good post.. We win a couple games early and people forget this is year 2 of a 3-4 year rebuild project and we are way ahead of schedule with are young defense. This offseason will be all about getting some young talent of offense. QB, OL, and WR in that order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinzfever2010 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We are ALWAYS rebuilding lol. Thats our problem. Thanks Danny! Hey now if it wasn't for Vinny Fred Davis wouldn't be here and this season would be worse than it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbyst21 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hey now if it wasn't for Vinny Fred Davis wouldn't be here and this season would be worse than it is now. After ALL those years you name 1 player? Really? I wasent talking about Vinny though. And Vinny wasent responsible for hiring and firing all the coaches. Finally made the right move with Shanny and Allen but we are yet again rebuilding after years and years of him running this like a franchise team. He took a step back. Good move.

NickGiaquinto1 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Rebuilding??? Year two without a qb. Normally teams rebuilding start to show life in year two. Teams rebuilding draft a qb to get game experience in year 1 or 2... Not 3... And they do not hire their idiot kids to run an NFL offense. Shanny is just old and out if touch This is justthe stArt if the unraveling... This team is finished for the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehard Otis Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Precisely brad21! Believe me, I know this loss hurts, but this team is not only learning how to play together, but also how to Win together. Building a quality football organization takes time, and Shanny and Allen know this. Sure it's easy to covet the shiny new things (ie, Detroit & San Fran), but you build your team to Win YOUR division. The fans can count other people's money all day. As long as the Washington brain trust sticks to the plan, we will all rave over the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkfan63 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 20 years of rebuilding.......this team better be the fricking 8th Wonder of the World when we finish "rebuilding"! Exactly. And what is really depressing is the QB of the future is not playing on this team. IF we draft a QB, he will need a few years of experience, most likely, until we are ready to roll. Redskins have perfected two things: Best offseasons and continual rebuilding years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CovingtonCommander Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We are ALWAYS rebuilding lol. Thats our problem. Thanks Danny! Snyder finally does what we want and you still blame him?

Bobbyst21 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Snyder finally does what we want and you still blame him? I stopped blaming him when we hired Bruce Allen and MIke Shanahan. Dude i blame him for the first 18 years of this rebuilding process, not the last 2. Its hard to erase that many mistakes. If you read on i gave him credit for FINALLY stepping back and hiring Allen and Shanny. You stopped blaming him when he hired Allen and Shanny. Did you develop amnesia too????

AsburySkinsFan Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Yes, let's set the franchise back further by drafting a qb just for the sake of drafting a qb Well they already set us back two years by not doing so....sooner or later you have to draft a QB and stop signing everyone else's cast offs. Seriously now, would Philly have gotten rid of McNabb if they thought he was any good? And why again did we end up with Grossman? Because he is such a good player or because his old team knew he sucked and they wanted to find someone stupid enough to actually sign him....oh that's right...he was cut and unemployed until we came along and picked up a QB that 31 other teams in the league knew wasn't worth signing to their practice squads. Brilliant. When Philly managed to trade McNabb off they must have been partying hard on the limo ride home. Reid, "No, no Mr. Snyder, McNabb just isn't a fit for our offense, he's not washed up and over the hill, he's a real gem of a quarterback, I think you'll be great with him." Then on the way home Reid; :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
