Warhead36 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 While I commend the enthusiasm *raises a glass*, the stats are the stats. We're staring down the barrel of a 2.6% chance of making that oh so coveted playoff run. It would take a miracle at this point and I'm going with we spent that "miracle-in-reserve" on last years division championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mursilis Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This thread is going to get more tragically funny every week. But as a fan, I want to look on the bright side, and every loss gets us closer to the firing of that overrated bum, Mike Shanahan. To be in this league as long as he has, and he still can't manage the clock?!?! I won't miss him when he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 ^^ Not sure what's funny about a Redskin fan believing in his team? I mean, if he's wrong aren't we all? Who wants to be right here or point and laugh? I mean, damnit, he posted this on a Redskins board. A REDSKINS BOARD. He didn't go and put it on some NFC East rival's board. He put it here, where he should feel like he's got support. He shouldn't be ridiculed. We should all hope he's right and that's it, even if it seems unlikely. There are a hundred other threads where the negatives of the team can be pointed out. Seriously? This helps people vent? I swear so many posters here prove time and time again after a loss that they're... never mind, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 1-4, 0-2 in the division. I love this team, ill continue to attend games and wear my gear, but this team is finished. Time to evaluate and reload for 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well, since 1992, 5 teams started 1-4 and have made the playoffs and won their division. Just want to throw that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theTruthTeller Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well, since 1992, 5 teams started 1-4 and have made the playoffs and won their division. Just want to throw that out there. Are you stating this as a cause for hope or as a cause for despair? 5 out of 200+ isn't a really promising statistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 We are 1-4 with the Bears and @Broncos next 2 weeks. Best case, we are 2-5. That means we have to finish 7-2 to have a realistic shot at winning the division. Luckily, our toughest games are at home (KC, Dallas, San Fran). We have to sweep the remaining Div games (@Philly, NYG, Dallas, @NYG). We have to beat Chicago, @Minn, SD, @Philly, NYG, @Atlanta, Dallas, @NYG. Losses to @Denver, KC, San Fran. So, um, yeah...

gortiz Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I didn't want to start a new thread and I know this title is pretty ridiculous, but so is this post ... I realize the situation now is totally different from a scenario standpoint but also a team/personnel stand point when compared to last year ... But I guess my question, if we win out and get to 9-7 are our chances still almost nil since we don't play as many NFC East teams? Try to keep this positive please ... There are plenty of threads for you to post the ... Why bother, this team will not win more than 3 games this year ... Or the witty picture ... Or the obvious crap like we had an easier schedule during last year's run ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they both fall of a cliff and finish 8-8 to our 9-7 I think it's wrap. Sadly, the dream has died for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Zornography Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Our playoffs are 'Keep Robert Griffin upright and healthy the last 6 weeks' and 'Try like hell to keep the Rams out of the top 10 with the pick we traded them.' Nothing else to really play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else to really play for. Agree on the first part but I don't care where the Rams pick. it makes all of our picks better in the other rounds. I'd also completely abandon the RO. We know Griffin can run it. No reason for him to take these kind of shots. I'd spread it out multi wide and run a spread option quick strike passing attack sort of like how we do in the hurry up situations. Let him develop like that for the rest of the year seeing the defense and making quick reads then he can go into the offense with some momentum and can work on improving whether with this staff or hopefully, a new one.

kleese Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'll play along.... If we win out.... --We are guaranteed to finish ahead of the Giants --Dallas would have to go 4-1 in their non-Redskins games to finish ahead of us So, if we win out, the chances of us finishing at least second in the East are quite good. --We need Philly to finish 2-3 or worse. The most likely scenerio would be for them to split with the Lions, Bears, Cardinals, and Vikings and then go into Dallas and lose week 17. I'd say if we win our next five there is a pretty good chance we'd enter week 17 still alive for the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 At the very least, don't get swept by the Giants for gods sake. That's like mutilating roadkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 We're at the point where it's time to play spoiler. I want to see us beat Dallas and the Giants at least one time. If we can somehow end or significantly damage the Cowboys playoff hopes, it will make this season a little less horrific than it has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Why does that matter? because they have our 1st round pick, so if we finish with a bad record, we would be giving them a top ten draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares? It's not our pick anymore it doesn't matter. Be glad we smited them out of a top 10 pick and then when the player we want goes 3 picks ahead of in the 2nd and 4th rounds remember it.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I meant rooting for us to keep winning to keep them from a top 10 pick will only harm us in the long run when we are further back in each round we do have picks in. I am not suggesting tanking I just don't like the notion that a goal of ours is to prevent the Rams from getting a high pick. It's irrelevant to us except to look back and say well what could have been. I've seen it several times on the board and it doesn't make sense to me.
