The Next Four:StL, Cle, Det, and Pit

It's impossible in the modern game for any team to go through the season without getting upset. Basically, it's going to happen to us at least once. I don't see us going 12-4 with the only 4 losses in the NFC East.

With that said, these could easily be three of the four worst teams in football we see over the next three weeks. Losing one of these games would go so far beyond an upset, probably into the we were overlooking them territory, and I'm not sure how often that really happens.

We're 4-1, but with a point differential of only +11. Every other team in our division, including the Eagles, has a far better point differential. What we need to do these next three games is to have at least two blowout victories to prove that along with beating good teams, we can also blow out bad teams.

This is the thing the team had trouble with in Gibbs 2.0. And that one was probably on the players.

I think we should head into the bye at 8-1, but given the "Any Given Sunday" nature of the NFL, I would not be unhappy with 7-2.

I see no reason why the Skins cant win 3/4 and with some luck make it a 4-0 run.

Detroit and St. Louis are almost comically bad. Detroit has a real shot at going 0-16. St. Louis pretty close although they have a new coach coming in. These two games should in no way even be close. Cleveland is a little bit better but not much. I think they should start Brady Quinn at some point but even with him, the Redskins should win at home no problem.

The Redskins should win all three games handily, if they don't it would be a major disappointment. The only thing that would stop us probably is a letdown, but Zorn seems intelligent enough to not let that happen. Pittsburgh is a quality opponent but they certainly aren't unbeatable, especially at Fedex.

The only way I see any trouble in the next few games is:

1) If St. Louis' offense starts clicking like it should be out of the break.

2) If Cleveland goes to Quinn, and their offense starts clicking.

Either/Both of these things could happen to give us a game on our home turf, but hopefully we could overcome and win anyway.

Shy of either of those things happening, we really need to blow these guys out.

This is a very important part of our schedule. Lots of promising seasons have been derailed in the "soft" portion of the schedule because said team did not put away the weaker teams early.

I'm still in shock we made it through the toughest stretch of the schedule at 4-1. Now comes some relief but the team can't let up. There's simply no reason (barring injuries) we shouldn't be sitting at 7-1 heading into the Pittsburgh game.

When we play our home games we need our fans to be LOUD!!!!!

When we play our home games we need our fans to be LOUD!!!!!

I think this is the main key right here!!!! I have a few friends in the league, they all talk about FedEx and Seattle being loud as hell! All of you lucky enough to have tix HAIL THOSE SKINS FOR 4 QUARTERS!!!

I'd love to see a blowout or two along the way. These come from behind victories are exciting, but I'd love to see some 60 minutes of domination.

by the time the steeler game comes along,they should have most of their injured players back.i'm worried about that game,and the ram game.they have a new coach,and have had 2 weeks to plan for us.
