Skinsfan In NM Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 2nd place just means a tougher schedule next year. Although I'd rather have the Rams get a 13-18 pick instead of 4-7. I for one would gladly exchange an easy schedule for a harder one. We stand toe to toe with winning teams but can't beat the bottom feeders. So bring on the harder teams, atleast then I can expect the loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 who cares about 2nd? It's better than last place for the 4th time in a row. At this point I think it's a good goal to accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobra860 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I shudder to see how the defense does against Vick. That's 2 games that I can't see the Redskins winning. We couldn't even beat the Panthers so the game against the Browns isn't a guaranteed win. It's a possibility that we could make it to 2nd in the Division but realistically our team isn't good enough to win the tough games. And there's no chance that we'll beat the Ravens.

DogofWar1 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 2nd place would be better than last place. Sure, it's not 1st, and we wouldn't make the playoffs, but there is a certain morale boost to ending the season ahead of the Cowboys and Eagles. Unfortunately, playing the way we did yesterday we won't get anywhere close to 2nd place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskindan07 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's not impossible to win this division this season. We still have 5 division games and most others have to play each other as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 i think if we win against Philly we could ride that momentum into the Thanksgiving day game and beat Dallas 4 days later. Yes, that's a big if but I think its possible and would put us at 5-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Can't wait!! Championship 2nd place. Sounds good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konga2145 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Enough guys, at begining of year we would be happy to finish 2nd, since nobody expected us to do anything anyway, but now it is not good enough, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's like the Flint Michigan Mega Bowl. We have the same record as the Saints I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about that, he looks fed up and ready to skip town, the players don't appear that there will be any love lost once he goes. After watching that game last night it seems like he's lost his players like Shanny did here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz4Life12 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 only the Giants have more than 3 wins in the division. Its not unfathomable for them to go on a skid either given their schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVAbrendan Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The defense may very well get a sack or two against Philly. Their line looked HORRENDOUS. I'm not expecting anything BUT am holding out hope! The Giants do, historically, flounder the 2nd half of the regular season. Good thing most of these game are against divisional teams, too...

LetThePointsSoar Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 As others said, who cares about 2nd...but I'm not giving up hope on winning the division outright just yet....can't lose either of the next two, and then see what happens from there...

I don't know. Vick and Reid are tied at the hip - if Reid goes, Vick's getting dumped. That aside, I hope for a real game plan against the Eagles in two weeks and, most of all, some effin' discipline. I always thought Shanahan was a discipline guy, but the number of penalties this season are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 2005 and 2007 disagrees with you. While I agree with you that those two seasons produced season ending momentum, I don't care that Redskin fans bring these two playoff appearances up as if they were gold. They were garbage as far as my standards are concerned. There was a time when wild-card or divisional round losses were looked at as a failure around DC. Now we look at these as some holy grail. Sorry, didn't mean to say you were wrong, but I just get irritated at the mere mention of these two seasons that to me were basically aberrations for an otherwise crappy 21 years.

IrepDC Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 All this talk about standings has made it really sink in that we lost to the Rams and Panthers. Every year we have those games we seemingly should win come back to haunt us. It annoys the hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were garbage as far as my standards are concerned. I wish it were another way too. But if you look at it one way, if Brunell doesn't get a helmet on the knee vs. was it during the Eagles game(?) we might have won the whole damn thing. 2007 was a result of us NOT benching Campbell soon enough to get homefield. Neither year was great but it was bad luck and coaching that put us behind the eight ball and prevented those from being really special years (NFC Title game or better.) I'm disappointed because I think this year should have been better than it has been. I think we all did once we had a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
