Should We Be As Happy With This Win

happy with the win, but i hated that last run call before we punted to let them get the tying field goal.... thats why we lost the games we lost wit the exception of N.E...... situations like that can easily make or break a game

Agree about the that call in the 4th, Meks--gotta convert there. We have had toruble with that all year. Why not throw to Cooley? Worked much of the day. Gotta trust JC a bit more there.

But I can see their thinking with the day we were having in the run game. But whatever--find a way to convert!!!!!

Yes, the Jets are a better team than their record shows. I am glad Coles was not playing. I am happy to be 5-3 for the first 8 games.

If we can split with the Cowgirls and beat the Eagles and Giants then we have a great chance to finish 10-6 or better.

not to beat a dead horse, but... i personally dont care what it looks like. ill take any win. and more then likely, 10 wins gets the skins in. if the skins win when the should, they will be in. all they need is 5 more ugly wins

The rest of the season is very important now:

Eagles.......(3-5) - Must win for Skins.....6-3 (NFC-E)
Cowgirls.....(7-1) - Likely Loss for Skins...6-4 (NFC-E)
Bucs..........(5-4) - Must win for Skins.....7-4 (NFC)
Bills...........(4-4) - Must win for Skins.....8-4 (AFC)
Bears.........(3-5) - Must win for Skins.....9-4 (NFC)
Giants........(6-2) - Must win for Skins....10-4 (NFC-E)
Vikings.......(3-5) - Must win for Skins....11-4 (NFC)
Cowgirls.....(7-1) - Must win for Skins.....12-4 (NFC-E)

The Cowgirls have to get by the Packers, Giants and Skins. Hope for 3 loses there that would tie us 12-4

Hope that Detroit and NE beat the Giants. Then it is our job to make sure we beat the Giants to give them an 11-5 record.

Of course, any given Sunday!!!

a win is a win...be it by 45 points or 3 points it still all counts the same. Good teams beat the teams they are suppose to beat...had we lost i dont think we can consider ourselves a good team. Bring on the Eagles. 5-3 at the halfway point...ill take that.

The difference between bad teams and good teams isn't all that much. We should know, last year we found ways to lose games like yesterday. The Jets are not a bad team, they are just a play or two away each game from being a winning team.

No need to hang your head after a win.

They talked about going back to Redskins football, and they did that yesterday. Controlled the clock (36 v. 31 minutes), ran the football (48 carries v. 23 pass attempts), and played good defense (3 points after the 9 minute mark in the 2nd quarter). Aside from the poor coverage on the opening kickoff (tried to pin Washington to the right, and overpursued), the Redskins played a solid game all around.

I was reading an article over the weekend about Al Saunders, and the one thing that sticks out was the fact that he sets up the offense to compliment the defense. They are playing conservative because their defense is good enough to keep them in games (ala the Baltimore Ravens). Yesterday, the Redskins did take some shots downfield, and we will see more of that in the weeks to come.

A win is a win, no matter how pretty or how ugly it is. And, who's to say you can't make improvements after win? A struggling Philly team comes to town this weekend. They always seem to play up when they play the Skins...so a battle will ensue come Sunday.

5-3 is great. 6-3 for a team that won 5 games last year is a very nice change of pace. Be proud to be a Skins fan...

I think we should be happy with any win we get.

at this point thats how i see things.. a win is a win in a NFC conference that isn,t what it used to be thats for sure...all that matter is we are 5-3 and looking win #6 against philly.
