Which means they'll pull it out somehow.

We can only hope.

Even more sad than that, is that we STILL have a chance

I have NEVER been this unenthusiatic about a Redskins game, and that includes year 2 of Jim Zorn, and year 2 of Steve Spurrier. Just Sick of the inconsistency of this team. Just seems like no matter what players we both put out there, it is the same damn result. Offense plays great = Defense sucks, defense plays well = offense sucks, offense and defense plays well = special teams gives up 400 yards in returns to some slow pile of crap. Just Sick of the same bullshit every Sunday.

I'm pretty sure I'll never see a Redskins Super Bowl in my lifetime. And yeahhh I know they won in the 90's but I was like 6, I couldn't enjoy that! I mean I could've but I was a 6 year old girl, I didn't care then. lol

I was one!

Edit: I forgot giving up the longest PR in Titans history, Jake Delhomme juking out DeAngelo Hall, the Kareem Moore Int/fumble TD against the Saints.

Or the Fact that almost every kicker that leaves us after starting his career here ends up being a borderline gem elsewhere

This is an interesting nugget, and it says something about this franchise that we hold our kickers to a much higher standard than our other players or our coaches.

It's not that we can't find a kicker, it's that any kicker we find is going to miss a few FGs. And we've decided that's unacceptable. But players/coaches that make mistakes? They just need more time. It's a weird double standard that has been here since the Cerrato days.

This is actually probably really interesting, and pretty true. I'll say this, out of our last few kickers; releasing Gano I didn't really understand for Cundiff, and he's doing pretty well in Carolina. Shaun Suisham I still dislike to this day; and he needed to go. Guy choked in the biggest situations.

I know Forbath hasn't been great this year, but field goal wise, I'm still pretty happy with him. He also tends to be pretty clutch. However, I'm 100% on board with carrying two kickers and just letting Potter boot it out of the endzone. Forbath is a liability on kickoffs.

SO true. Typically, I'm firmly against having two kickers, but in this case if it was all but guaranteed he'd boot into the end zone, I'd be all over it.

This is what bad football teams do.
