Mickalino Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Just in case anyone out there was getting overly optimistic and overly ****y about our 4 wins, do you guys realize how close we are to being 0-12 ? Each of our 4 wins was truly by a hair, and you could take away just 1 lucky play in each of those games, so take away 4 plays all year and we'd be 0-12.

Ignatius J. Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yeah, but that knife cuts both ways. If you are willing to be sad over that, you should be ecstatic about how close we are to 8-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashae Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 It's the same with the Panthers as well... they're a few lucky/well timed plays away from having the same record (or worse) than we have. Parity sucks. -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 The Chiefs squeaked by the mighty Chargers today and were lucky to beat the Geritol Raiders twice against backup QBs. It seems a schedule makes or breaks a team this year. 9 playoff teams from last year look like they're going no where this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montilar Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Wanna make it more depresssing? Atlanta, no vick. Jets, no Pennington. new England, missing half the team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius J. Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 keep beating that drum M - how about us with no ramsey, samuels, champ with a busted hand. Or the middle of season stretch without any of our runningbacks and starting dockery when fiore went down? No smoot either. That bug bites both ways too. We are what we are, and people need to stop making excuses for this team and realize that we have been playing at exactly our talent level. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Shoulda, coulda, woulda.... we are 4-8, and that is depressing enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyG3 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 More depressing: 2004 Salaries: Arrington - $6,360,000 Samuels - $5,132,000 Trotter - $2,700,000 Wynn - $2,000,000 Armstead - $1,500,000 Dalton - $1,400,000 Jansen - $1,400,000 Moore - $1,300,000 Fiore - $1,100,000 Thomas - $1,000,000 Noble - $1,000,000 Upshaw - $1,000,000 Going to be a whole bunch of turnover AGAIN for next year. Arrington, Samuels and Trotter have to be reworked. Jansen, Thomas, and Upshaw (because of signing bonus) will get their money, everybody else is gone.

PCS Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 8 games by 4 points or less. 10 by 7 points or less. How much do you change and what do you change to fix that problem? I guess Spurrier is going to get his chance to really earn his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief skin Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 This franchise is a mess and it starts in the front office with that ego maniac Snyder as long as he insists on meddling in football operations, insists on being the GM we are doomed.

ross3909 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 This team is all it will ever be and that is a distraction. They stink and they always will. It is our fault as fans to continue to care. The problem is it is profitable to be bad. Everyone still comes to the games, they still buy the jerseys. Snyder realizes that he does not have to floor a winner, just drama and excitement. But dont worry the Skins best part of the year is comming up...it starts in February and goes till the first preseason game. That is where we get all excited about all the changes that we made over the off season and think we are going to be good again. Hell we have even won Super Bowls in the offseason! If you want to root for a team that is a contender...you picked the wrong city. The Redskins are just a bad joke and the fans are the punchline.

Dr. D Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 yea, Samuels is gone. Too bad.. but with a 6 million dollar cap hhit next year.....I cannot see it. I mean really. I was expecting Winey to get killed and yet I think that the Oline is playing better as a unit...connection? I cannot beign to guess but at that salary you would expect some IMPACT!

xanathos19 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Luck=wins. But, good teams find ways to win the close games. Bad teams do not...it's as simple as that. Look at KC, New England, Philly, Carolina (maybe)...all are "good" teams, and all win the majority of their close games...the 'Skins do not, and it shows.

Prosperity Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Originally posted by riggo-toni Anyone else think Samuels might be gone? 2 games were Samuels didnt play and we have a total of 1 sack, yeah he is gone (just dont know how to get rid of him without messing up the cap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 This franchise is a mess and it starts in the front office with that ego maniac Snyder as long as he insists on meddling in football operations, insists on being the GM we are doomed. See, I don't buy this. I think you build off of the fact that we are playing a close game virtually every week. This is a building block if we keep our coaching staff and core of players.... It's happened several times in the past. Just last year, KC was losing close games and just getting outscored...they learned to win eventually. To say that our franchise is just a mess would seem foolish based on the fact that we're making a tackle here and catching an INT there away from a decent record... Remember in 2000 when we all though coaching was holding us back? Well we fired Norv (after losing some close games) and look at the outcomes of the next couple of games. Total blowouts! Now, I think some of you guys would be shocked just how bad we could look if things were to start all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Originally posted by Park City Skins 8 games by 4 points or less. 10 by 7 points or less. How much do you change and what do you change to fix that problem? I guess Spurrier is going to get his chance to really earn his money. That's the NFL. The good teams find a way to have a winning record within those parameters. You've seen it with the Chiefs this year. The bad teams don't. But the days of, for example, a 49'ers dynasty routing an average team are over. Most games are going to be decided by 7-10 points or less over the course of the season.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Redman is right. And my opinion would be that you stay the course. We went from year 1 where we were only competitive in about 10 games. To year 2 where we are in each game but can't get over the hump. Objectively the next step would be to start winning games....
