illone Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 You guys are nuts that dont want to go to the playoffs. NFL is a year to year proposition, game to game, minute to minute. One year doesnt buy you anything for the next. You take every win you can get, every opportunity you can get. All these teams are so close, all it takes is a little hot streak to close the year to turn the tides of your entire season and make a run at glory. Winning is a habit that you want to have. You only look to next year (fans) after the team is mathematically out, and the Skins are still very much alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 With all the bad luck D.C. sports have suffered, wouldn't it be karmic justice for the Redskins to be the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl with a losing record? Of course it won't happen, but hey one can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Why on earth wouldn't I be? Of course I'd be ecstatic not just ok. The positive affects of tasting the playoffs are something this franchise sorely needs at every level. Not to mention that it validates Gruden and Scott's plan. Progress begins with that first step..

moondog Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 No offense, but really? Ok with making the playoffs? It happens like once every five years. Hell yes I'd be freakin ecstatic. Would I be dumb enough to go around bragging about it to my friends that are fans of teams that make the playoffs every single year? Nope. Would I be proud as hell and happy to rub it in every other NFC East teams' fans? Yup. No East team is making it as a wild card. Whoever goes to the playoffs will have won the division. Quite frankly I don't care what our record is. If we are above .500 in the division and win the East I'll be downright jubilant. It's something to build on and to be happy with and hell maybe we'd get lucky and win a wild card game at home. Never would I EVER be disappointed or upset about making the freaking playoffs. Get outta here with this bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerryMason Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm just asking. As bad as the NFCE is, if we were to get the wildcard and make it to the playoffs, would you be ok with it???? I honestly don't know if I would be. I'd wanna be a competitive team. I don't think we're even close to being there yet. Your opinions? It really only comes down to one question: Would you rather watch 16 games of Redskins football in one season? Or at least 17? I think it's a pretty easy question.

Wildbunny Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Is the op a serious question? we've made the playoff what 4 times in 20 years? I'll take the playoffs however I can get it. I don't see how it wouldn't be a serious question. 2012 got us nowhere but back, so I can feel Brandy's legitimate doubt about a playoff run this year. The fear we might overpay for some guys that are in contract years (Kirk being first) that could put us in a cap hell, or whatever... Going to the playoffs, maybe winning a game, is an accomplishment in itself and would have everybody jumping all around and excited for the next year. Which is usually the time you make mistakes. Young teams that makes it to the playoffs and crash the year after are legions in the NFL history. I don't share Brandymac's concerns about going to the playoffs, because I believe experience is above everything, and that our guys in the FO are smart enough to not tear it apart by making stupid decisions. It's still a young team that need every experience they can. To me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I say yes because we would prevent our rivals from a shot at a SB, and if we do get in, even with a weak record, we won't get there unless Kirk plays well, and if he does, that means we will likely have found our guy. Course, I said the same thing back in 2012........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hey, like I said, I'm never turning down a playoff appearance or a division title, even in a down year. This team has been terrible and I want nothing more than to see them succeed. But don't think I haven't seen this movie before. We were on the upswing after '99, remember? We were back on our feet in '05. It was only a matter of time before we hoisted our 4th Lombardi after winning the division in '12. I know it's not intentional, but outside of the teams in Cleveland, no group of franchises seemingly enjoys twisting the knife in their fans hearts like the teams representing the District of Columbia. They find new, exciting ways not only to lose but to lose after getting everyone's hopes up. I know things aren't the same as they were those years, but I've been conditioned to distrust success and expect failure in the most unusual way. I do feel better about this team, though. We're winning games we're supposed to win and we're losing games we're supposed to lose, by and large. The only teams to really blow us out of the water have perfect seasons thus far, but the team is showing a lot of fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only teams to really blow us out of the water have perfect seasons thus far, but the team is showing a lot of fight. Ain't that the truth. Our Skins have a special way of rollercoasting our hearts. ols Today is such a big game. If we win, I'm pretty sure the entire fanbase will expect perfection the rest of the way. If we get blown out at home, by the Giants, I expect this fan base to completely explode in glorious fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STOP. JUST STOP. Yeah sure we can clinch the NFC east with 7-9 - so what?

Burgold Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'd be happy for this team to succeed. More so, because the rumors are that we are keeping Gruden for next year. If that's the case, let's build. Let's improve. Get a taste of the playoffs and come back hungrier with a better team. What does failing get you? Would you rather be in the playoffs with the 14th overall draft pick or out with the 10th? Me, I'd take the shot at winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Until we lose our eighth game this season, I'll still be excited about paloff possibilities, even though we're not the best team in the conference. I just wish we can have a season where we're wanting to win our last five to increase our chances of a first-round bye instead of squeaking in. Seems like 1999 was the last time we were in control of our own destiny the last few weeks of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the kind of team I want in the paloffs - not this hot mess FTR, I've been a fan since Gibbs I as well. My ultimate point here is that we haven't looked like a hot mess nearly as often as we used too, and we ARE making progress. Had we not experienced the amount of injuries we've seen so far this year, I'm confident our record would look a bit different. The fact we're 4-6, and not 2-8 or so, is damn near a miracle in my opinion (especially considering we nearly pulled the win in Atlanta, and could be 5-5 right now). Despite the state of your team, you should always hope they make the playoffs. Otherwise, you're rooting for nothing; so what's the point of even watching?
