My good loss narrative is catching on!
If this keeps up we might be the best losers ever.
The difference between good teams and bad teams is good teams can overcome mistakes. When you are a bad team and you make mistakes you have no chance. Yes we can fall back on the “hey if not for a couple plays we win that game” - it is better than getting your ass kicked I suppose, but a good team isn’t buried by a couple mistakes, because it makes up for them on the next set of downs or so. We make a mistake and its “oh crap that was our chance”.
I got a hard time finding improvement in a loss.
Bro pointing out improvements in gameplay isnt a “narrative”…yes a loss is a loss. But astute fans of the Warpath brand know football and we can discern dumpfire from good football. Seeing the defense improve is what we have been waiting for…seeing the growth of Davis, the improve play of Collins since his reassignment is kinda what diehards do here.
Yes you are what your record says you are, but seeing better play is welcoming

FFS this team just finds new ways each week to beat down the fan base on and off the field.
We lose to a crappy Denver team and that’s probably the season. Imo the season is over but from an overly optimistic standpoint if we lose to Denver even a wildcard is a far away pipe dream.

I too am enthusiastic about seeing more of Collins in his new role. Jamin Davis just needs time. But if we can make Collins productive again - maybe we can flip him for a late round pick or something.

My “narrative” was about a post made in the gameday thread which was tongue in cheek. Relax.
But if you wanna consider yourself an astute fan and a diehard and a studied WP talking head than when we play shitty football against the Giants and win on a lucky second chance fg - I dont want to hear a win is a win. If a win is a win, than a loss is a loss. Ya cant have it both ways. If you can find victory in defeat than I can find defeat in victory.
Yes I can find solace in the fact that we didn’t get beat the fuck down, but we beat ourselves when the other team doesn’t. Have seen it for years and years. I pointed out the 2010 team the other day that was 6-10 but in alot of games. It is 11 years later and we haven’t managed to win those games still. That is a major fuckin problem.
Sounds like Ron is handing out participation trophies now with this talk of "fight" and "growth". I know it's just coach talk but can anyone really stomach this shit right now?

I really hate to say it because I bought in on the credibility factor - but Ron's credibility is really wearing thin now. We're a long ways from respectability right now and it reflects terribly on him.
Not to mention all the off-the-field shenanigans have persisted and this organization is still the laughingstock of the NFL - which hurts worse now that other long-time losers like the Bills/Bengals/Browns are playing quality football.

Seems like alot of us are doing the same. Lol.
All i wanna hear from Ron is we are making too many mistakes and thats on me. Period. The end.

Sadly, this is reminding me of Gibbs' "they play their guts out" statements.

Despite the criticism of Heineke for his errors in the Redszone - he was the one moving the offense. Hope the Redskins don't repeat the Trent Green error when it comes to deciding what to do with him following this season.

Just keep having "good" losses. I am so beaten down that I just want some hope that we can draft a QB. That is all I care about at this point. Draft a QB, actually draft two, one early and one in the mid rounds.
