Season over?
 

vote and discuss

Re: Season over?
 

no i havent given up on the season. i never really give up on the season, but that was the single worst performance i have ever seen. dropped passes, fumble after fumble, no first downs forever. if we lose next week...gonna be near impossible to make the playoffs

Re: Season over?
 

Not yet -- all I'm going to say is if this offense starts to regress back to where it was last season we need to start being worried. We came out and played abysmal, but that happens sometimes.

THis season ain't over by a long shot. They had an unforseen force against them today with the whole Mara thing. They'll regroup and "Git er dun".

nope
No gravity challenged persons of the opposite sex doing any opera around here bro.

Re: Season over?
 

Not yet. I wonder who voted no though? It's not like we have a losing record. We can still finish out the season at 13-3. Even though that's about as likely as SF winning the Super Bowl, i still have faith.

Re: Season over?
 

I'm going to watch and root for us every remaining game this year, but I voted "yes, the season's over as fas as playoffs are concerned" for the following reasons:

1. O-line cannot run block for Portis.

2. We're thin at the D-line and our front 4 cannot pressure the QB.

I still stick by my previous prediction of 9-7, but we will miss the playoffs. The Eagles should be beatable next week if we can run the ball on them like Denver did today, but we can't.

The Biggest disappointment is how we don't run plays designed for Portis. We took a big-play fearsome back and have turned him into a non-factor. No decent defensive team fears our running game.

I don't doubt that the G-men were super-motivated today by what transpired over the previous week, and I think we will beat them in the re-match. However, we have startling weaknesses on run blocking and the D-line, and it will cost us the playoffs.

Re: Season over?
 

I haven't given up on a decent season, but it'll be very tough for us to make the playoffs. Every team we play from here on out will study today's film to learn how to shut us down and exploit our defense. Next Sunday's game is a must-win situation.
I thought today's game would show what kind of team we were. Now I hope it was merely a fluke.

Re: Season over?
 

I agree with Daseal on this one. I think this season is far from over and every team is entitled to an off day and this one was definitely ours. I mean Miami stomped all over Denver the first week of the season and look what Denver has done since. I think the Giants did come out and played more intense than what we did and they had a great defensive game plan that really frustrated us.

Re: Season over?
 

I too will be faithful to the end but this team is not a playoff team.Defense cant stop good runners.Offense just not there.

Re: Season over?
 

No, the season isn't over. This was a tough, tough loss, but geez...we're only seven games into our season.

This type of loss for us was a fluke. Plain and simple.

Re: Season over?
 

No it isn't over. lets not go crazy. we have a winning record and are only 1 dumb game behind. I think we can win our next FEW, i really do. eagles at home. Bucs with QB problems. Raiders Chargers at home, 4 easy games into a 3 game division stretch. I see us doing well until the 3 division games

Lets be clear here. We turned the ball over 4 times. Now a team can study all day and all night but if the Redskins don't turn the ball over they simply will not lose. In every game we have loss, we turned the ball over. Lets wait and see whose healthy enough to play and what the play calling is next week. I loved the play calling in the Denver, Kansas City and San Francisco games and I expect this team to be well-grounded after this loss.

Re: Season over?
 

Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you lose big. Good teams find ways to gain strength and bounce back. It's a gut check time, but this is week 7 out of 16 for us. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

We aren't as bad as this loss made it look, though we aren't as good as we looked against the 49-ers, as Williams said. Let's hope the loss lights a fire under them.

4-3--how could the season be over? And I have faith that Gibbs, Williams, and the rest will find a way to fix the problems.
