Just that winning these ugly games can end up fools gold, buying time for folks that should have ran out of it already while also selecting later in the first round. Now that is some losers mentality BS right there. You play to win the game. Just win, baby. Winning is everything. Etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s some magic right there 6 game winning streak (going from 0-3 to 6-3). Not 7. That means they are prime for a loss especially since they had a bye this week to halt the momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Man, things really broke nicely for us this weekend. I can't help but recall what happened in 2008 when we were 6-3, but that was Zorn and this is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 What a strange season. The Bucs gave us the game, let's be honest here. Our QB sucks, we continue to win despite him but that will obviously catch up with us at some point. This has to be the most flawed 6-3 team I have ever seen, it's a freaking miracle is what it is. But I will never be upset that my team is in first place in mid-November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're 6-0 with a lead this year. We dont do that anymore. When we lose, we do it in spectacular fashion and Houston will be a great test to see how our revamped secondary does, but we're winning the winnable games and that's a new thing for us. We've hovered around being a .500 team for the last few years, but we're finally on the plus side of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so concerned with the secondary as I am with Houston's front d-line vs the Redskins patchwork o-line. JJ Watt, Clowney and Mercilus, well rested, that doesn't sound good at all. Alex Smith may find a hibernating mole after being drilled into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsLegacy Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 11 hours ago, Spaceman Spiff said: Yeah, I am tired of bringing up what we had before, it doesn't do any good. What we have now is just mediocre at best. If this D comes across a high octane offense, we don't have a guy that can put the team on his back. Hell, we don't have a guy that could crack 200 yards against the ****tiest pass defense in the league Also it's not helping Smith missing Thompson and Crowder. They will boost this offense for sure when they return, especially Thompson, he is a play maker. I just hope they are both back before we go to Dallas Thanksgiving then Philly.

London Kev Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 5 hours ago, ILikeBilly said: Today's game is the greatest example, in the history of the NFL, of "bend but don't break". We gave up about 500 yards of offense, but only 3 points. Historical game! Yes it was, Manusky's game plan worked well and some posters are still calling him out. Stroman is a raw, 22 year old rookie CB playing against a veteran QB with the highest yards-per-pass average in the league. He was obviously told to play off of his man, keep everything in front of him and don't get beat deep. This is the epitome of bend but don't break and it worked perfectly. He gave up a lot of yards, but no TDs and even got an interception. Glass half empty = The next time that we get gashed for 500 yards, we won't only concede 3 points. Glass half full = The next time that we only concede 3 points, we won't get gashed for 500 yards. I think that Manusky should be praised for his game plan.

Oddly enough, short of strip sacks, I'm not too concerned about that. We cant do anything in the passing game anyway, what will be different? Smith will throw for 150 yards instead of 175? lol He's gonna do what he always does, checkdowns. I'm actually more concerned about the run game, because they are stout against the run.

If you want to keep hoisting up Tampa gaining 501 yards and only scoring 3 points as something that's not an oddball stat and a recipe for success in winning games in the NFL....please pass me the moonshine.
