Week 6:Redskins vs. Colts Gameday thread

In the wide open NFC, I really don't see why the Skins can't be a playoff team. Still 10 games to go, 4 in the division, way too early to be writing them off.

I can see the Redskins beating any team in the NFC. Not going to play the coulda woulda shoulda game but we were in position to win that game last night, and the Colts DESTROYED the giants when they played them and we were 1/2 a yard more air on a Mcnabb pass from winning....shoot I said I WASNT going to play the shoulda woulda game....oh well!
Hail

Once again, this is all speculation and your opinion. Nothing personal.

Bottom line. We lost and we are left holding our dicks wondering what could have been different.

If you hold your d!(k after a loss what do you do when we win? Ok, maybe we don't want to know.

wow...terry schiavo questioned that playcall Kyle.

Can we ban this jerk?



Anyways...GREAT GAME, SKINS. Proud of them...they nearly beat Peyton Manning's team.


It was definitely a game of MISSED OPPORTUNITIES...Rogers and Moore dropping easy INTs.

The D played GREAT. Manning was working so fast that any D would get gassed. We didn't have time for substitutions or anything other than basic defensive alignments...but we did force turnovers and even though Manning's numbers were big, we really didn't let him blow us out like he's capable of. Look what he did to the Giants.

That last INT was a great play by the Colts' defender. If he didn't make that acrobatic catch, Galloway would have score...the pass was going to drop right into his hands in stride with no one in front of him. A few miscues by McNabb but he showed a ton of leadership and made more great plays than bad. Torain is officially a star.

I just hope Cooley is OK, but we do have the best backup TE in the league.



The Bears have no chance. Cutler will be sacked at least 8 times...calling it now.

Hey, I told everyone i knew, that if we went 3 and 3, we would make the playoffs. Well I hope they will.

Our schedule has been BRUTAL so far and we're .500.


We're a solid team.

*We began the downfall of Dallas.
*We lost to Houston only because our kicker was iced.
*Rams - well, we blew that one but the Rams are looking legit this year, could end up .500 at year-end in that division.
*We beat a solid Philly team.
*We beat Green Bay, the popular SB pick from the NFC.
*We hung with and nearly beat PEYTON MANNING.


Add to that our opponent casualty list...we're a force in the NFC.

1 win out of first place and those teams ahead of us have not played as many tough teams as us...but they will in the remainder of the year. Dallas is sunk.

Philly sched:
L - Packers
W - Lions (barely, by a FG)
W - Jags
L - SKINS
W - 49ers (barely, by a FG)
W - Falcons = 1st impressive win of year, lost DeSean Jackson?

NJ sched:
W - Panthers
L - Colts blew them out 38-14
L - Titans blew them out 29-10
W - Bears
W - Texans, impressive win
W - Lions, only 28-20



We've been in EVERY game except the 2 TD-loss to the Rams and considering we're installing a new offense with new QB with a new coordinator, a new defense (big change) with a new coordinator and all done under a new head coach and GM...we're progressing fine. Our offense AND defense are both looking better each week. We'll be firing on all cylinders soon enough.

Our remaining schedule:

Bears = W
Lions = W
*bye*
Eagles = W, we've proven we can beat them already
Titans = test
Vikings = test if they start rolling, but beatable as they are playing now
Giants = possible test but they either win or get blown out it seems
Bucs = W, they're not as good as their record
Cowgirls = W
Jags = W, they've had some impressive wins, but Garrard can't carry them all year
Giants = see above



I'm not saying we'll win every game, but every game we're playing from here out is definitely WINNABLE. The Titans matchup is our toughest-remaining game.

I totally agree Buster. We have chance in every game left on the schedule barring a string of unforeseen injuries.

I will conclude though that playing the Giants is going to be the biggest test we have. They are the team thaat have been owniing us the last few years.

So if we split with the Giants and beat Philly and Dallas again.

We are 5-1 and right in the thick of things for sure!

Everybody quit bitching at the very least we're headed in the right direction and Shannahan will make it happen sooner than later. I love the effort, love the fight, we very well could've won this did'nt happen this time. We could be 0-6, but we could be 6-0 so we're probably where we should be, but improving every week.
