Ignatius J. Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 This thread is for everyone who compares this team to a norv turner team. The difference was on the field today. Gardner caught a first down. Nothing. Several sacks. Nothing (except that one sack, by that one guy, what's his name?) Maybe a little celebrating. I got the feeling that everyone on the field knew that they were playing to salvage a bit of pride. There was nothing to celebrate. This team is out of the playoffs, and no individual accomplishment (except that one) meant a darn. They were happy to be winning, but you could tell that the weight of failure rested heavy on the shoulders of all but one. That didn't happen before. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins26 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 When you think about it we really havent played that poorly ever since the Dallas game. We looked real bad in that stretch from Tampa to Dallas, but from Seattle on I think we've looked pretty good, just unfortunate. We're much better than last year, we're not turning it over 3 times a game, we hitting field goals, we've got good solid QB play from both Ramsey and Hasselbeck. etc.........

Skeletor The Invincible Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Ah yes, after a single win I see we are back on track. Yep. uh-huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I just think our problem is the D not holding up. We've lost 5 of our games by a total of 13 points. That gets frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuji869 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I did enjoy the win as much as any Redskin Fan but the bottom line is we beat a team on a 4-game losing streak. We will see what happens next week and see if we can play spoiler for the Cowboys! :asta: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljer Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 A win is a win. And beating the Giants makes it extra special, whether they are 10-2 or 3-9. Bring on Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I don't think it means we're back on track... meaning we're not a winner yet, and the track is for winners. BUT, the team has yet to pack it in, despite all the problems and scrutiny. They went out today and played fro more than pride, they played as hard as they have played for the last month. They've had plenty of reason to get down, to give up, to lay down, and they have yet to do it. They've got heart, no matter how bad it may seem. Another reason why I feel they are on the right course to eventual success. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 look ar Strahan, after tackle, he mugged for the camera. Real impressive when your team lost to a 4-8 Redskin team, with a backup QB, and Backup LT. and People say Bruce is "me" driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wicked Wop Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I think one of the better points in analyzing the Redskins desire to fight and try to win games even if they aren’t going to the playoffs only proves that this team is still together. Usually once every week we see an article on how Spurrier has lost the team, he’s going back to college or this that and the other (like he likes to say). But the teams effort in trying to win these games (most notably the past 4) is something to appreciate, even if they all haven’t resulted in wins. I’m disappointed as anyone that this team is only 5-8. But there are very few circumstances this year that I can think of, when I would say it looked like the Skins quit…and that is important in the long run….it means they care, it means they believe, and it means they want to win. Hey its clear the cards haven’t fallen our way this year…but unfortunately that is sometimes what separates teams that are 5-8 vs. 8-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavarleap56 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Finishing strong will only be a buiding block for next season if we keep a majority of the team intact next season and dont overhaul the roster again. As for the coaches you have to give them credit and it is weird that some of the back-ups come in and play better than the starters. Helton has done a good job with Dockery and Winey. Spurrier has done a great job to get Hasselbeck up to speed in only what 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
