Skins vs Seasquawks Positive and Negatives

Positives: Most of the tough part of initial schedule is over. Of the next 5 games, we have Tennessee, Minnesota and Tampa Bay (combined record of 4-11). Really optimistically, if we do what we should & win all of those, and get really lucky & win against either Dallas or Arizona (??) -- we could be 5-5 in Week 12.

Negatives: After that point, we'd have 6 really tough games down the stretch (SF,Colts,STL,NYG,PHI,DAL)

Surely you jest. I don't think there's anybody that we "should" beat. I'd bet there are fans on those teams' websites saying the same thing about us, i.e., "we should beat the Redskins". And they would be right, too. Yes, those teams are very beatable and so are we! We are not a level above those teams; we are smack in the middle of that class of teams.

YES! The cap penalty is a killer. 36 million worth of talent isn't going to appear as soon as it's lifted.Yeah, Mara and Lurie and the other owners, really screwed us. Cheating m-f'ers.

As far as the Haynesworth contract goes, Vinny Cerratto really screwed us over on that too. Wonder if that d-bag knew he would be gone, by the time that contract really bit us in the ***.

The Washington Post believes the likelihood of contract-year OLB Brian Orakpo getting a big pay day from the Redskins is dwindling.

Orakpo, playing on the $11.455 million franchise tag, has just half a sack through five games, and has graded out as a bottom-11 pass-rushing 3-4 outside linebacker at Pro Football Focus. The Redskins could choose to allocate that money elsewhere in 2015 and pay OLB Ryan Kerrigan handsomely while developing second-round rookie Trent Murphy as Orakpo's heir.

Yeah he's really going to have to get on a big tear to get a new deal deal here.

Meanwhile Kerrigan is proving to be the man.

Yeah, we've been down this road just like a Thursday night game against the Vikings was supposed to be a winable game yet they got dominated, and the Vikes second string TE looked like a Hall of Famer. Not buying it, this is the same old Skins and another 10+ lose season.

Agreed. I love seeing how fans are predicting "certain" wins are so sure of this team. This team has won what, one game in the last 13? And that win was over a woeful Jacksonville team. Suddenly they can go 5-5 down the stretch or whatever?

No wins on this schedule are a gimme for this team, not with their talent or attitude for sure.

It looks like Rotoworld broke the code. Orakpo is not going to get a big FA contract from the Skins or anyone else. He has peaked as an NFL player.

Oh someone will pay him. Maybe not what he wants, but he'll get paid.

Safety Ryan Clark: "Guys weren't content with losing, but they were excited that they fought."

As I interpret this, with our moral victory against Seattle, that improves our season record 2-0 in the mythical moral victory standings. We now have moral victories over Philly and Seattle. I predict yet another moral victory over Arizona which will make our moral victory record against good teams 3-0.

I think we fans should be as excited as the players are about our team having so much fight in them.

Or, we could take a negative approach and say that the players don't even buy into the goal, which is winning the game. If some of the key the players think it's rewarding just to appear to be competitive, then I don't know what the coaches can do to make things better.

Good post.

Fuck this team. I am suppose to give a shit about a team that doesn't even give a shit about themselves. Fuck them.

That's how I feel. Why should I care about the team when the folks on the field care about nothing but the after party?

This team will not win until it has more leaders who hate losing.
