Theismann made a great point during MNF.

Yeah, Too much needs to go our way for us to win on sunday.

I agree.

My response was directed towards skinsfan69 who said our 11 wins were weak.

Sorry but they were weak. Yes 5-1 in the div. was good. Very good. And there were some good wins against Dallas, Seattle and NY. But looking back a close win against Philly w/out McNabb is weak. I mean that game was almost lost and Philly had Mike M. and Detmer! A win against St. Louis against it's 3rd stringer is weak. Barely beating Arizona is weak. A win against Chicago playing at home against rookie qb is weak. And don't get me started on the Tampa Game with that pee-wee league 41 yards passing. If the defense doesn't score in that game it's a loss. The bottom line is the defense has fallen apart this year and can no longer carry the offense. And personally I'm just tired of this out dated run first pound it down your throat approach when the line is not as good as advertised. If you ask me we need to start rebuilding in that area too. No young talent as back-ups.

Here's what I will be satisfied with, dmek. Every Sunday when I look at the matchup between te Skins and their opponent I want to say "the Titans suck we should beat them" or "the Giants look pretty good but not great, we should have a real close game". So far, I'm not getting that. We are the consumate "shooting-one's-self-in-the-foot" team. In a word, I want predictability. I have no idea which Redskins team will show up from week to week.
consistency is what all teams in any sport strive for. but i do agree, if the redskins are to be the team that we all want them to be, you should be able to look at the schedule and pretty much circle the games that are gimmes. there is no way the skins of yesteryears success lose to a team like the titans. too much Jekyll and Hyde

I think you should look around the league and see how other teams have won over the years. You'll probably find a lot of "weak" wins. At the end of the day though, a win is a win is a win.

Yeah, there is no such thing as a weak win, we had multiple victories snatched from us last year as well, chiefs and tampa. It all balances out int the end. we deserved those ten wins given our schedule. A first place schedule might have led to less success.

Division wins aren't weak in my opinion. I don't care who Philly was playing in that last game, they were bound and determined to ruin our season and they nearly did.

Arizona and St. Louis were both road wins which aren't easy.

Like someone already said, we lost our fair share of games which we could have won. There's a very fine line between winning and losing. All you can do is play the next team on your schedule. I don't see the point in nitpicking each win. They won 5 straight to reach the playoffs when everyone had left them for dead at 5-6.

I don't see why we have to keep defending what happened last year. It was what it was, a 10 win playoff season. This year is a different team and a different season.

Why can't we just keep last year in our memory as a good memory rather than dragging it into the mess of this year?

well put, road victories are difficult. We made it look easy against some of those teams, especially saint louis cause we had such an effective run game, not all teams had that. The only real slip up was against the raiders, God I almost killed someone after seeing that game, but it was what we needed to go on that epic run. When we were on.......(running the ball down people's throats), there was no way to beat us cause we had the ball the entire game.

Agreed. Last year was brought up becasue some of those problems have are the same problems we are having now. A total lack of offense when it matters most.

Don't forget about our D which is scraping the bottom of the league rankings right about now.

IMO, Joe wore that single bar face-mask too long!
