Post game dallas

I have never lived in a place like the DC area. People who grow up here grow up Cowboys fans. Its very strange.

Same in B-more; there are plenty born in MD Steelers fans. Some folks just like to be the asshole. If they lived in Dallas or Pitt they be Skins or Raven fans.

Injuries are all part of the game,every team has them.

That's a strawman. Besides, how many teams has an entire starting O-line out with the exception of one starter (who was playing on two bum ankles)?

How many teams has three D-linemen out for the season and another who had to leave yesterday's game early with a broken hand? We also have a starting LB on IR, too.

That's not to mention all of the injuries endured by our secondary (number one and two corners has missed time and games).

For a decent team whose margin for error was already pretty slim, injuries to your top players will sink the ship. It's not the number of injuries, it's who's injured. We're built around Trent and Scherff's spectacular abilities to block in space. If we don't have them we're in trouble.

It's unfortunate, but this is enough to take a team that could have been 9-7 or 10-6 and go 6-10 instead.

Not to mention a little unlucky with the schedule. We had a 3rd place schedule, yet the two non-common opponents who placed 3rd in their divisions last year just happen to be the division leaders this year (Minnesota, New Orleans).

When we were at full strength, we got the Raiders and the Chiefs. Now we're going to get Seattle, Minnesota and New Orleans with nobody healthy. On one hand you could say our destiny is in our own hands, playing all of these playoff contenders. If we met them when we were at full strength I would have said we'd have a shot. But not now.

We're a decent team but not great, and the margin for error is just too small for teams like us. Hope we don't do something stupid like clean house. Health and a few more moves, and I like us for next season. Until then, get ready for a bumpy ride.

I don't reside in DC, but know people similarly to what you explained. Some folks probably went against the grain because they had family members and friends who are 'Skins fans. A spiteful move to root for the Cowboys.

Others probably jumped on the Cowboys' bandwagon during the time when they won 3 titles over a 4-year period. Bandwagoneers.

And free Sundays! I used to carry the badge of never missing a Skins game, now I rarely ever watch.

Honestly the only thing that really keeps me tied to the Skins and the NFL is this web site.

If some year we have a SB run I will get back into but I am done burning Sundays on the Redskins.

Come on, what other team has its' entire O line injured? (Moses, our only starter out there, had both his ankles injured). Our left guard for most of the game was signed on Wednesday !


Think what team lost all of it's starting receiving core,your starter at RB,two starting DE's and a corner back at times two and two starting linebackers?Check out the injuries to the other teams in your own division.
All I am saying is at the NFL level injuries are affecting every team and it 's not an excuse ,it's a next man up philosophy.

With the O line missing 3 starters, the game plan was to sue a lot of 2-3 TE sets.

In game, you lose Paul early, Reed later on.

No run game. No O line. No TEs.

Best case scenario -- Trent is out 6 weeks with surgery/rehab, Long and Schreff play next week, Nsekhe is ready in a week or 2.

Ioannidis gets his broken hand wrapped up and can play with a club.

Bree's MRI today comes back with nothing major.

The "next man up philosophy" is some trite motto that can lose meaning when a team is dealing with an enormous amount of injuries. An excuse? No. Just reality.

Once again, no one said anything about the Giants' injuries and how they are or not dealing with them. We're speaking about the Redskins injuries. Those injuries are now starting to affect the team. Insurmountable, as Malcolm said earlier.

He got hurt too? Jesus and Joesph; this is insane.

I hate to pull the injury card but i mean these are major contributors this year going down. This has to be one of the worst years for injuries in awhile.

Lava man got injured in the 3rd quarter and never returned. So, we were down 4 starters on the O-line.
