What is the biggest difference between when we were 6-2 and now?

I'll tell you what the big difference is, I'm no longer a Skins fan. I have been a fan of the Redskins for over 30 years and the last 15 or so I have waited and waited hoping things would get turned around. After yesterday I just flat refuse to continue to be a Skins fan anymore. No enough is finally enough. It's hard enough living in dallas cowgirl land and being a Skins fan. I thought about rooting for the cowgirls now but something deep inside of me wont let me do so. Now I'm going back to the Steelers who I left for the Skins for over 30 years ago. I do hope though that Zorn is given at least another year to try to turn things around and that they address the problems at OL, DL,DE positions but especially at OL and DE. Well it was a nice run in the 80's and early 90's but after the last 15 years I just can't do it anymore.
Peace Out

See you about April or May for the annual WP bandwagon fest.
Hmmm, what has changed? Other than every dog ass sorry SOB team kickin' the shit out of the Fightin' Skins?
INJURIES. We were healthy, and all starters in.
Now, even the remaining starters are nicked up without quality depth

1. Decimated by injuries on O-line and throughout the entire defense.
We just lost to a team with 20 players on IR. Can we not blame injuries?

MAYBE not much changed. MAYBE the Skins were never as good as their 6-2 record made them appear to be and MAYBE the Skins are not as bad as the recent run of 1-5 makes them appear to be.

They are a .500 team as of today and before the season started, most folks thought they would be a team to finish between 7-9 and 9-7.

I was pondering that same thing today. We are as predicted.......sadly

Three big things I see:

1. Blocking


2. Blocking


3. Blocking

Portis is getting stuffed, lackluster playcalling, the O line is showing their age, the system in place(WCO) is not a good system to run in the NFC East.

I think the move to fewer receiver sets have less to do with the pass pro and more to do with Mike Sellers. The Redskins actually have progressed to more and more empty backfield sets of late, but it's tough to go four receivers, when you only have two receivers on the roster who can do anything.

Sellers has flat out earned more playing time. You take him off the field, and we're replacing him with a worse player, pure and simple.

You might be right about Sellars being the reason for having fewer 4/5 receivers sets. But, regardless of the reason i think that the offense has declined the more we've gone away from them. If you go back and look at some the early highlights its JC throwing from singleback, empty and shotgun with 3/4/5 receivers. JC was hitting the slants and hitches back then because its easier to make pre-snap reads from when the defense is spread out. Despite the opinion of the receivers, those formations were effective. And they should be even more effective now with DT11 and MK12 and sleepy Davis starting to contribute.

i couldn't find it in the highlights but JC was hitting slants with ease from the 4 wide set, he even had a few to Thrash and one to Kelly

Um the Eagles?

Run blocking has seriously declined, and we've fumbled a lot on offense. We can't get off the field on defense, although that's not a new problem. We've played tougher opponents, which explains the losses, but not the decline in play.

We are an old team that needs rebuilding to get younger,faster,stronger,wanting to prove something..
