At The half point of the year, did you think it was going to be like this?

Stacks42 · 11-04-2007, 03:36 PM

Its halftime of the skins v. jets game, I think the skins will pull it out (well I hope they will). But did anyone really think it was going to be this bad? The skins are making the same mistakes that they have made for years, Stupid Personal fouls, Offense stalls inside the 20, and the def playing prevent all the time. The damn corners are still playing 15 yds off the ball, can we attack someone rather than waiting for them to come to us and move up and down the field? The braintrust at redskins park for some reason cant seem to correct these errors that have bugged me for years.

Game isn't over yet.

Stacks42 · 11-04-2007, 03:38 PM

I know its not over but it doesnt change the fact that they are still making the same mistakes that have costed them games.

Short answer is no.
I thought we would be visibly better and I don't see that..yet.

peace

Honestly, I thought we were going to start 0-3. Pleasantly surprising that we finish the first half 4-4, or if a miracle happens today, 5-3.

GusFrerotte · 11-04-2007, 03:40 PM

Not in the least, I thought we would be ahead, even if it was not by much. We are in deep trouble if we can't stomp these guys in the second half. IF we can't beat the Jets, who the hell can we beat?

I didn't come into the season expecting to win the super bowl, but making the playoffs would be nice. So I would say they are meeting my expectations for the season just not exceeding them.

Skins fan 44 · 11-04-2007, 05:29 PM

Good news is we are half way there on the wins part. The question is do we have enough for 5 more wins. I am not going to bet on it. We can do better. I just hope we do it.

Darrell_Green_28 · 11-04-2007, 05:33 PM

well we matched last years wins already...

GusFrerotte · 11-04-2007, 05:40 PM

I was thinking 4-2 during the preseason, so we aren't all that bad. We need to get healthy and open up the offense a bit more then we are fine. Playoffs are still in reach, but we do have the toughest half of the season yet to go. Let us hop we can overcome the injuries and kick some butt.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 11-04-2007, 05:42 PM

Alright 5-3!!! Did not really expect this. Just Kidding!! I knew I knew it all along.

Really though I like the way our Oline dominated this game. I love that CP ran for 190 some yards. They imposed thier will and controlled the game. Great win. On a side note. I'm glad the jets wide outs drop alot of balls. The D looked ok. Not Dominant. Maybe that had something to do with not having any film on Clemons.

Anyway greayt win. Way to stick to the game plan and run the snot out of the ball. REDSKINS FOOTBALL. Smash Mouth. You know it's kinda cool when the skins say they are going to come out and run the ball all week, and the other team can't stop it. HAIL!!!

skinsnut · 11-04-2007, 06:11 PM

No,
I thought we'd have a worse record...like 3-5 or 4-4....i expected us to lose to Dolphins, Eagles, Pats and one of cardinals or Jets or both.

Really I expected a final 7-9 record with an average d and an average but improving offense for the 2nd half of the year....the only thing that is different than I thought was our record is better.

BigSKINBauer · 11-04-2007, 06:24 PM

5-3. The first half of our schedule is just a bit harder than the second. I am happy with our season. We will go 10-6 hopefully the packers beat up on the lions when they play and hopefully we tie with the lions to pull off a wildcard spot. Other one is going to the giants.

MTK · 11-04-2007, 06:56 PM

5-3 is a good place to be.

DynamiteRave · 11-04-2007, 06:59 PM

All I have to say is:

At least we aren't the Rams.
