Next year, already?

heybigstar · 11-21-2005, 04:12 PM

I love TheWarpath.net, it has been great since i joined a year ago, great place for serious Skins fans, a place of great optimism for our beloved team.

But now, I hate saying this, but it looks like we have to look at next year already . I mean there is still that small chance we win out and make the playoffs, but a small chance (i was one of the few who voted for 11-5.

Of course we can analyze the games for what they are, but after 10 games we are more than likely not in the playoffs again.

It just hurts.

I dont want to have to comment on next years team yet... gosh darnit!

Any thoughts?

i have a feeling we'll be in it until the end. as redskins fans we've becoming used to whipping out calculators and writing up what-if scenarios pretty much until the final few wks. yes the nfc is tougher this year but someone will stumble. when we come out and smash NYG, DAL, and PHI at the end of the year we maybe be on top of the NFC EAST!!!

otherwise. this will just be another step. there is no doubt we are improved this year. i feel that if we do fall short this time around, we'll be better next yr. maybe revamp the dline. a few additions here and there and viola.

16-0... SB CHAMPS!!

I would say we are in it until we lose 7 games. Last year if certain things went our way, we held the tie breakers on a few teams and would have gotten in at 7-9. We are not out of it until the experts say we are eliminated. Until then the light is still on, although it is a bit dim!!

damn right!

I do and will not talk about next year until this year is over, regardless my opinion is we finish 7-9 at the best. Next question.
I also kinda think that as usual we will have a chance to make the playoffs just to be ripped from them once we all think we can make them. I love getting my guts ripped out.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DON"T WANT TO HEAR IT. i am gonna say the exact thing i said in the other thread

We were supposed to win 1 out of Tampa and Eagles, 3 of the next 4 and 2 of the last 3 division games. WE DID WIN 1 out of tampa and ealges and we have lost one but if we win our next three we are money and back on track, had we won the raiders and lost to the chargers the season wouldn't be over! ITS NOT OVER! until we lose two more no way i bend over and take it.

who knows giants playing the seahawks at seahawks, and dallas playing denver we could be only one game behind. the next week giants and dallas play each other and one has to lose,so i am told, and we might be tied with one of them sons a bitches, we are going for the division and not stopping till we get there.

THE BEAST OF THE EAST!! anyone with me? The beast of the east?, th the b beas o the hell with it.

Tell you one thing, I will be just as loud against the bolts as I was against the Raiders, which was screaming the ENTIRE game when we were on Defense. Yes that included the last drive that they had. If anyone around me asks me to sit down or be quiet then they will prob get screamed at. Go skins and even tho I think this season will end bad, I will never give up hope!

PLAY OFFS BABY

saskin · 11-21-2005, 07:11 PM

I thought we still had a chance but after Oakland in Washington.....no way. Might as well just wait for next year.....only thing I ask for is for us to have a better record than last year and possibly knock Dallas.

Hello Redskin fans. I feel your pain, I really do. I did not see that loss to the Raiders coming, but all is not lost. You have a bunch of Tough vets who should be able to carry the day in the locker room. You have a HOF coach who won't give the season away.

But a challenge looms: Can you get yours against the Chargers?

Philly stopped LT in Philly, and your Defense must do the same. Once again, you face an all world TE in Gates. I really hope you don't try and cover him with an LB or even a banged up SS/Taylor cause he will eat your lunch if you try that.

So what needs to be done? Simply, turnovers have come back to haunt you. Some voodoo or juju has shrunk Brunells hands because every swat and jostle seems to have produced fumbles from him. You have found new offensive contributors in Cooley, Sellars and someone has to step up opposite of Santana Moss.

(On the topic of Moss, it seems that the year of the small reciever hitting big numbers is over. Glenn on Dallas is a shadow of his former self, double teams have rendered him invisible, And I think if Someone doesn't emerge on the other side Moss' numbers might dwindle as well. Steve Smith is still hitting em up in Carolina though.)

Good Luck vs the Bolts. Please beat them so I can stop hearing about how their tough schedule might knock them out of the playoffs. Actually it is their sad Win/Loss record that will keep them out of the playoffs.

thank you for your words of encouragement, i however must be honest that i do not wish the cowboys any luck at all. As i am eating my Turkey you can be sure that i will be throwing biscits, bread, corn, mashed potatoes, and of course pieces of turkey at the TV as i watch the games.

Denver must beat Cowboys
Detroit must beat Atlanta

BSB, I know how much fun it is too root against a team you hate, so don't feel as if I don't get giddy when the Niners/Packers/AFC get it handed to them.

I have broken tv's over seeing that F@##ING ball that little Notre Dame QB tried to throw out of bounds but didn't have the arm strength to do it and Clark jumps higher than anyone would have thought possible and.........

anyhow, what i am saying is that I feel you mah nizzle. It's part of the fun to get a hate on for particular teams. I can tell the Dallas really works your gag reflex. So be it. I won't speak to Packer fans. Tomayto, Tomahto.
But if Dallas manages to beat Denver - even I think there is a chance that they might not win and I have been picking the Cowboys as SB champs every year since '77 - I'll be over the fricken moon. But I won't celebrate here. I'll save that for the rematch at FedEx.

I can't wait for Sunday, Bolts are going down. Team now has a chip on its shoulder. When was the last time this team we the underdog? Seems like the Skins play their asses off when they are expected to lose. I say bad mouth the team as much as possible, make 'em play. Go Skins!
