Last was a great season but by no means were we a top tier team, we had to win 7 in a row to win the division. Synder would be dumb to fire Mike, if I was him I would extend him during the bye week to make all this talk go away. Now firing Haslet and shaking up coaching staff I could see, but no to firing Mike.

That is exactly the way I feel about where the rebuilding of the Skins stands. I think that we have been set back by the unfair cap penalties and the serious injury to our Franchise QB.

With those two major impediments in mind, I came into this season feeling that I would be satisfied with whatever I could get out of the Skins this season. I still feel that way.

I anticipate that we'll add some top talent in free agency and have another good draft before next season. By that time, RGIII should be fully recovered. Then I'll expect much more.

In no way has anything that has happened so far this season shaken my faith in the direction the franchise is heading or in the primary people who are leading the way, namely Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen.

On the other hand, I would have no problem if the coordinators were to leave and be replaced. I was never a fan of Haslett. IMO, he hasn't done a good enough job to be retained. As for Kyle, if there is in fact fundamental disagreement between Kyle and Mike about how the offense should be run, then Kyle should do the right thing and find another job after this season.

So I came out here in your neck of the woods to watch this crappy game. I assume I'm safe wearing Skins gear to Alameda?

Also, why would we think anybody playing us can't beat us? The only team in the NFL I would go into a game saying "We can stop them," is Jacksonville. Oakland has some good players on their team--a lot of them are better than our starters. They also lost to Denver by 2 scores in Denver. I think we'll be very lucky to lose to Denver by 2 scores.

Yeah the Raiders are saying exactly what you're thinking. It's going to be close.

An away game to Oakland is being televised in Baltimore, yet a home game against Detroit isn't?
Now that the cramps and pain of being 0-3 are over, it's my time of the month- to watch the monthly win. I'm frying up pickles before the game and watching the 1st full game of the year (unless Kyle scripts 50 passes and Haslett is doing whatever he does en route to a blowout).
It's got to start and end with Alfred

Unfortunately that is the last easy game on the schedule and we finish the year 3-13.

Question; where do we get these 3 wins from?

[Deivybaby]

Lol 23-21 raiders. We play at there homr history shown we have not been good against oakland other than 09. We go up against a much better D who has branch and a good iq FS in woodson who the team also have 3-4 cbs who matches up well against us . There team is physical.


They lost to denver because denver argubly the best team and in no way any team can handle welker/thomas/decker . We arr not the broncos ....our D is thr worst note we also never do good against mobile qbs I don't think rg3 will have the mentality to win in oakland...if they sscore early that's troutrouble.


But you better pray we lose since haz woulsnt be fired if we win...shanny ego will gst him fired too if jim stays the whole year.....no coach will keep a bad DC for 4 years ranking top 5 worst every year

Agree?

Be careful, stay away from the black hole (you might disappear). Stay safe.

It looks like our best chance of winning decreased dramatically, as it sounds like Pryor will be playing on Sunday. He is mobile, looked pretty good last week, and against us he may have a career day. We should not say "oh it's just the raiders" because they way we are playing, Oakland could run for 200 yards and Pryor could throw for 400 more and a couple of scores. When Sunday is over, we may have gave 500+ yards of offense....i hate to hear people saying "oh it's just the raiders we should win"

I am not arguing that you can't look past them given our defense, but they aren't green bay, Detroit, or even an unknown like Philly. If the Skins lose it will say a lot more about the Skins then any fan wants to hear. I think it is safe to say that even the most negative nancy had this game pegged as a win before the season started, or if a loss it was a letdown after starting 3-0. At this point, this is a game that the Skins should win and need to win.

These guys aren't green bay or the Eagles or the Lions,

And we are not the Jaguars.

Not to be debbie downer, but outside of playing the redskins, the Pack, Eagles, and Lions are not the Pack, Eagles, or Lions either.
That being said I think we improved last week on both sides of the ball and you enjoy a victory tonite.
