[quote=CultBrennan59;1025907]^ But I'll remain optimistic and say 2-2 at the Bye.

The Bye which happened to come at a great time seeing how off we look.[/quote]

Are u serious? We can't beat Detriot and will have trouble with Oakland. Count on it.

Re: Skins vs Packers post game thread
 

Things that need to change:

Stop the stupid ST penalties (kill us 2 weeks in a row and gotten shitty field position because of it)

Stop the stupid personal fouls, lots the last 2 weeks (killing drives and momentum)

Learn how to tackle again

Have Morris spend extra time with teaching Rambo and Amerson on what to do out there.

Promote Chase Minnifield and get rid of Meriweather (being injured all the time doesn't help the team and is a waste of a roster spot)

OL needs to protect RGIII

Play Fred Davis (he looks like the invisible man)

Have the CB's be aggressive instead of giving large cushions

Fire Haslett, he has some good players this year, yet the defense seems to get worse.

[quote=SolidSnake84;1025927]So what is a realistic guess, based on the way we have played so far, for a win and loss record?

I am looking at the schedule right now, and thinking of the way we've been playing, and how bad our defense is, i am very nervous looking at the whole entire schedule. We play some tough teams.

We could very well be 0-4 going into the bye, and the teams just get tougher after that. We are going to need things to turn around very quick or this could be a long year.[/quote]

Based purely upon how we've played the first 2 games and looking at the schedule... 4-12

Wins against Raiders, Cowboys, Vikes and Chiefs.

I'm gonna need to see hard evidence of a turn around both offensively and defensively (and even special teams since they stunk it up today too. I'm looking at you, Rocca) before I feel comfortable boosting that W/L.

^ Detroit lost to ARZ today. So they are not that great but it'll be hard to pick us at this point

Re: Skins vs Packers post game thread
 

We winning the next 2 games. Put it down

Arizona is a good team. I'm still trying to think of any possible way the Skins can slow down Calvin Johnson.

Skins love to set team recoords. Im sure Megatron is lickin his chops.

Double team?

With who? He would beat both of the players covering him.

Re: Skins vs Packers post game thread
 

As far as defense is concerned, we just don't have good players. Counting the loss to Seattle, we've just been gashed. We can sit here and blame Haslett, and he'll take the fall eventually, but it's a talent issue. Fletcher is old and slow, Bowen is average to below average, Cofield is getting pushed around, the secondary cant cover, can't tackle and blow assignments. I don't think I've ever seen such a horrible secondary. Ever.

As far as the offense, RG3 needs a running game. If he doesn't have it, he's not good enough right now to carry the offense. And don't talk to me about his stats, very misleading. The line can't protect and none of them would start for a top team except Williams. Morris showed up today and ran hard, Reed looks like a keeper...but the wr's seemingly can only get open when the score is out of hand. Right now this entire team just sucks.

Haha! Zing!

Guess we'll have to put the whole team on CJ. At least we're playing at home.

Re: Skins vs Packers post game thread
 

And the really said thing to all this if we do finish like 4-12 we don't even get the 1st round pick.

We don't anyway. We gave away our first round pick for RG3

Yeah I know but it makes it even worse if its a top ten pick.

Who looks nothing like the player we gave up 3 first for last year.
