BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Somebody tweet the show for an explanation. Personally, it seems to me that’s something you say when you trash historically bad teams and all the sudden they look better than you thought.

Cris Carter also sucks and could very well hate the Redskins and really doesn't like what we have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go beat myself up for citing something Zorn may have said. Its a legitimate frame to view the season through. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Malapropismic Depository Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm not even sure I can predict a win against NY The Giants were down by 14 points with 5 minutes to play last night against the Falcons. And they scored 14 points in 5 minutes. That's exactly the kind of late meltdown this team is known for in the 2nd half, especially the end of the game. 1 hour ago, BatteredFanSyndrome said: Huh? Where did he suggest that? I know that Carter opened his trap about AP coming back and he had to eat some crow about that. But there was no explanation for “we might not like it”. I don’t know why Chris Carter would have some sort of vendetta against the Redskins. It's kind of ironic since he and Manusky were teammates.

We should sweep the Giants, Eagles (Although we will probably rest our starters for this game) and Dallas. Tennessee doesn't scare me. Tampa bay stinks and who the heck knows is going on with Jacksonville. This is setting up VERY nicely for us. We can assume the division is ours now we just have to hope some of the other divisional winners hiccup so we can get a bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is barely winning games (both CAR and DAL could have easily ended up differently). Until our offense can show that it can do more than run Adrian Peterson into the ground and also show up in the second half of games, we are an 8-8 team.

Giants can still kill us with passes to OBJ and Evan Ingram to go along with Saquon Barkley. I have legitimate concerns just about next week's game. Forget about "elite" teams.

MisterPinstripe Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Im still very nervous about the Giants and the Falcons, but I will say that after watching the game list night I feel better. Our DL vs both of their teams OL is a big plus for us and should help a ton in stopping those offenses. We should be able to get good pressure up the middle and stuff the run.

People said the same thing to me a month ago when I predicted we would go 2-1 over these last three games and have a stranglehold on the division. Have a little faith!

Burgundy Yoda Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think a lot of people are underrating the teams remaining on our schedule, those are tough teams with consistency problems like us. If we catch them on a good day we could be toast if it's a bad day for our team. Incredibly hard schedule to predict from here on out to be honest but I'll give a stab at it. Washington @ New York Atlanta @ Washington Washington @ Tampa Bay Houston @ Washington Washington @ Dallas Washington @ Philadelphia New York @ Washington Washington @ Jacksonville Washington @ Tennessee Philadelphia @ Washington (For the division) 8-8, Bye Gruden ?

We're all probably in the same group, but we've been bad with no prolonged success for a long time, so why rank us higher. We're also scraping by, not blowing anyone out, so why rank us higher.

Burgundy Yoda Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 That 3 game division stretch is going to be huge. We cannot go 0-3 or 1-2 during that stretch in my opinion. We need to at least win 2 out of 3 I think to flex on our divisional rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassSkinsFan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 22 hours ago, Wildbunny said: But by Week 11, Smith will tear his ACL and be gone for the season. 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! The only way to improve on that scenario is to bring Rex Grossman out of retirement to back up McCoy, who goes down late in the Super Bowl after putting the game out of reach. When Rex enters the game “**** it I’m going deep” comes to life and he adds three more TDs in three straight 1 play drives. #8 honorable mention for MVP. Skins get ring 4. Hail.
