It's the Snyder curse. Ever since he's bought this team, it hasn't really mattered who's coached for us or played for us(usually hurt). As long as he owns this team, we will not see redskins standards. just my negative opinion after yet another tough loss....poor joe

Hey, on any given Sunday, sure. But the past is a good predictor of the future.The past says...we're average. So a little luck yields a 4-3 result, while the lack of a bit of luck yields 3-4.
That's the difference between 8-8 and 9-7, and likely the difference between playoffs and no playoffs.

Wise points out clear coaching issues, i.e. clock mismanagement. Not having any timeouts left with 8mins left in the game??

Well, I don't know how much the author of this article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/11/AR2007111101598.html) embellished, but the tone seems to suggest the Joe Gibbs was completely demoralized after this loss.

The author also speculated that we'll have to win at least 4, maybe 5 of our remaining 7 to have a chance at the playoffs. If Gibbs is taking this personally and it's causing more introspection, then GOOD. Again, I'm glad Joe has brought stability to the team, but I want to win damn it.

My big knock on Gibbs is that the team seems lost in managing the clock, running the two minute drill, and at the goal line. That said, I saw more positives out of the O today than perhaps all year. JC was given an opportunity to stretch the field and Portis gashed the Eagles all day. For the first time all season, this looked like the Al Saunders offense in KC a few years back. Let's hope that is a trend that continues.

why call a draw play when JC was picking apart the eagles defense? should have tried to throw the ball into the endzone

why call a draw play when JC was picking apart the eagles defense? should have tried to throw the ball into the endzoneI'm with you there - worst call of the game, which I vehemently criticized earlier. Some on this board actually believe that was a good call. Campbell's record in the red zone passing game speaks for itself - let the young man make a play!!!

i was excited that they were letting campbell finally play today, but going for a Fg instead of a touchdown is BS, it chance the whole game around.

Did you watch the game? Just checking. My four year old could answer your question.
Yea I watched the game real close and live, DID YOU? Whats that got to do with anything?
Then let you 4 year old explain why detroit has a better record than we do, and we are head and shoulders better than they are....? You might want to check the standings.
That makes ZERO sense.
