What is missing from this years team?

0421kidwell · 10-27-2006, 02:04 PM

Swagger is the answer, last year when the skins killed dallas we all knew we would kill the nyg, phi and tampa in the playoffs. We also held the believe that we could beat the seahawks. This year when we looked at the schedule we thought we would in easily 10 games and even the possibility of 12. We looked at the schedule when it first came out and counted the easy wins. Before the season it reminded me of past seasons under gibbs when we knew as fans that the skins were good and that we could count on wins. I mean we would go to games and know that the skins would win. It happened last year and most of us out there thought this would be understandable that we would win alot of games. The swagger of the fans came back and then left too quickly. Is there anyone out there think the skins can go to the playoffs. I still do i believe we can go as a 9-7 or 10-6 team!! Let me know what you think?

Off season moves are never perfect. But on balance, the additions that were made were pretty good. I think Carter is improving, and could still turn out to be a solid pickup, but the jury is still out.

Arch is the big bust so far. Hey, even Gibbs is calling him out in public. Having only one real bust out of all those moves is pretty solid.

I was on record saying this in the spring: We needed to make a move to improve our situation at QB.

The possible scenarios were:

~Brunell improves from last year.
~Brunell gets hurt or devolves from last year and we end up with a QB who has yet to fire his first NFL pass in anger.
~Brunell sucks and we stick with him.

You get swagger by winning. I think if Portis had played in that opening game, we would have won, and we'd have had some momentum going. Thus far, we thought we had some going against Jacksonville, but found they were the team to get DESTROYED by the Texans.

ArtMonkDrillz · 10-27-2006, 02:37 PM

Maybe we need a uniform change. You should start a thread about that.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-27-2006, 02:38 PM

Don't say things like that to him.

C'mon dude, use spell check or something. Your english skills blow nuts. Other than that I like your posts.

Cheers!

Winning will usually bring on a "swagger".

Has anyone ever seen a 2-14 team with swagger??

C'mon now.

Players!!!!!

What's missing? Experience with the system and a win-loss record that more accurately reflects the effort put forth by most of these players.

Rexi usually brings lots of swagger. Wait, maybe it isn't swagger, just the San Francisco swish that 49rs fans have.

We are missing A GOOD QB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Swagger is the result of success, not the cause of success.

Mabye he's talking about the pyschological component of winning. There is definitly a "winners attitude", but personally I don't buy that we don't have it. Players are trying to win, I mean for christ's sake Joe Gibbs is our coach.

Defensive depth is what we were missing, and injuries have exposed this horribe horrible flaw. We're really not terrible on offense, and if our defense played like last year, we may be sitting much more comfortably in standings.

On a random side note, I saw a black bear in my back yard last night. Scared the shit out of me. He was eating something and my neighboor started banging pots and pans at him. He just looked over and kept eating. I went into to the woods and saw a deer carass with big pile of crap next to it. I'm scared now, but year... random.
