The redskins performance tonight will be considered a failure if....

So you want 9 points then...gotcha :silly:

actually, I think 9 points would be the best of both worlds. We'd get to see the O in scoring position, and we'd get to see the kicking game.

Let's also remember we're playing the Patriots. They're pretty damn good

They have given up the most yards so far this preseason. I know, I know, its only ......I am just saying.

Where do they stand for points given up?

Where do they stand for points given up?Actually, they are decent there. They are 14th giving up only 16 points per game.

If the Patriots offense moves the ball at will in the first half I will be very frustrated.

Any major injury to a key player.

Seriously.

Remember last year the Skins got smoked in the 3rd preseason game by the Panthers, and that didn't seem to hurt them in the 6-2 start, and what did it have to do with the 2-6 finish for that matter? Nothing.

How they look tonight will not make or break the season. If it makes you feel better if they trounce the Patriots, that's great. But it's not going to mean squat once week 1 rolls around and everyone's record resets to 0-0 and the real games begin.

I could care less about winning the game. But let's be real- lack of offense buried our season last year. It needs to better this season and thus far we've seen no indications that it will be. This is the most important preseason test, and it will be disappointing if we don't move the ball and score a few times. I wonder how dismissive you guys would be about the preseason if we were lighting up the scoreboard.....

Thats what I figured. Good teams Ds dont give up points and the O scores points. Bad teams focus on yards and percentages which is why I suspect they are bad teams..

That's a great point.


Zorn has a corny phrase for it and I'm a firm believer of the practice...stay medium.

Or as I like to say it...Don't let the highs get too high or the lows get too low. Life is all about having a homeostatic balance.

If we see Hunter Smith more than 2 times in the first half
