Darth Tater Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 4 hours ago, TryTheBeal! said: Even with that forgiving schedule, we’re still an 8-8 team as presently constructed. BUT...IF our receiving corps can get some health and IF our QB can establish better chemistry with them and IF AP can maintain his production, we could squeeze out 11 wins and be a tough out in the playoffs. To me, we are looking like Jacksonville last year. Good running game, good defense and a mediocre QB. Lose AP or have injuries, we could very quickly become what Jacksonville looks like this year except we can do it in season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's such a game of momentum and ours is building. Keep winning and the ball sort of just bounces your way. Eagles rode that all the way through last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have a question: the date for our game against the titans is supposed to be decided on after week 8 (next week) any chance they choose that game for the Saturday 4:30 game or 8:30 game on December 22nd? The other options they have for the 2 games are ravens/chargers, jaguars/dolphins, and giants/colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I don't care if it's the 1-5 Giants. I don't care if they're 0-7 when they play us. It means something at the end of the season. Division wins and conference wins all mean something when it comes to tiebreakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think it was the CBS pregame show, yesterday. One of the hosts said he thought the Redskins were the best team nobody was talking about. Pointed out that we had already beaten beaten an Aaron Rogers team and a Cam Newton team. And that our remaining 11 games had one team with a winning record.

Not because I think the Giants are secretly good, but because that is the type of game this team typically loses, and looks bad doing so in, after a nice emotional victory. If they can go into NY next Sunday and win....in any fashion, I will start to believe that this could be a sign of things turning. With you 100%. The Giants have done well against the Redskins when we needed a win. Look no farther than last year...and they hold the edge 100-68 in wins.

bowhunter Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Eli may suck overall, but when OBJ is wide open 40 yards downfield, Eli hits him. Our secondary better step up a little (especially when stacking the box to Squash Saquan) The Giants offensive strength is our weakness. I'll be nervous for this game as well.

I am nervous for EVERY game. While we are improved as a team there is so little separation between teams in the NFL now. One thing that does make me feel better about our team is our defense is fundamentally better than in the past. We have that to hang our hat on, and it gives us an edge, in most cases, that we did not have before. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Not gonna make a W-L prediction, but I don't think there is one team on the schedule that scares me.

Colt McCoy will start over him and then our O will start clicking until we advance to the SuperBowl and wins it. Then Colt McCoy is named SuperBowl MVP. So we'll have done Jags/Philadelphia. 3 seasons in one. Because we're that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 9 hours ago, Llevron said: The team can be any place in a few weeks to be honest. I dont think they are too good to get swept by the Eagles. I dont think the Eagles are too good to be swept by us. Nothing in the schedule seems impossible or guaranteed other than a sweep of the giants. And even then, I have been a Skins fan long enough not to count on that either. So I'm still going with 8-8 until something improves or someone gets hurt (Reed, AP, Trent....one if them is gonna go down) Honestly, the way we are playing right now, we might as well be walking a tight rope. It's a team built for winning close games, but thats only because our team isn't turning the ball over. The Atlanta game will be very important to see if this works against a team that can score 30 no problem, because we failed the New Orleans test with flying colors.

Veryoldschool Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 After the New Orleans spanking, I feared 5-11 or worse was in the cards, now after a couple of wins who knows? The NFC East looks putrid, the Skins might be the best unless the Eagles wake up so now something crazy like 11-5 looks possible. I think it will all depend on the health if the OL and DL stay healthy winning the division and even double-digit wins are possible. Yeah, I don't really see this happening but it isn't laughable today because there are a lot of mediocre and worst teams on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do every game. The like beating the skins more than the Cowboys or Eagles imho. They could easily steal Redskins pride and end their season.
