You have to be kidding me...
And you do know they are in the NFC where QB's throw as many picks as TD's? They barely escaped the mighty Arizona Cardinals yesterday led by
Pahleese...just stop.
Washington plays like a team with 26 assistant head coaches and no accountability. The bone head penalties and lack of discipline yesterday were otherwise inexplicable.
The Lions had the top NFC passing game coming into their game against the Skins, ditto the Packers. Yeah the AFC is better but since when does Brett Favre suck? Neither QB did much of anything against the Skins defense.
I read one thread about how the Skins are no Dallas Cowboys, & perhaps so. But the Skins have beaten the Cowboys three of the last four times.
Your team is clicking on all cylinders so maybe its tough to see the rest of the NFL and the ups and downs predicated a lot on injuries. But the Skins had three backup lineman playing against the Cards with a 4th guy playing hurt. The center made his first start ever. And our backup RT who is now a starter had to play with a groin pull becuase his backup was hurt.
Last season the Skins had one of the best offensive lines in football, this year injuries have killed it. And if any team should get the power of continuity on the offensive line for chemistry reasons -- it should be you guys. The line should be somewhat healthier for this week though far from 100%.
But yeah if you look at it from our point of a view a team with Jason Campbell, Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, Santana Moss, Randle El, and Chris Cooley, & pro bowler Chris Samuels at LT -- should score some points. Its just a matter of time. Might not be this week but trust me you aren't getting the worst team in the NFL headed to your stadium this Sunday.
Just remember, it took one of them 12 years to win 3, he hasn't won one in the salary cap era and his most recent championships have involved nothing but left turns. Amazing your secondary struggled with the Cards last night, I guess they were too busy committing stupid penalties to cover.
NFC fans are in such denial.
I assume you were watching the game so you get the context of what went down? If so, and that's your opinion, cool enough. If you didn't watch it basically the Redskins offense shut down, three and out, three and out. The offense with their patchwork line looked pathetic. If you want to pick on the Skins that's what's being picked on.
Go read the DC papers or national ones NOBODY is picking on the Skins defense for that game. The D were responsible for 2 of the Skins three scores. At the end of the game they were basically on the field for 15 of the last 20 minutes and by then they were exhausted. Still that wasn't the whole drill. one of their touch downs were set up after the Skins stopped them and the refs called 2 questionable 15 yard penalties to keep their drive alive and help them score.
The Skins offense is VERY questionable the way they are playing. But they got the tools to break out of it. If you think the Redskins have a ragtag defense, my friend you will be dissapointed. Yeah the Patriots are explosive and likely can beat up any good defense but they are indeed playing a good defense.
