Redskins-Packers, Best and Worst

Yeah, Nicks is totally legit, and the worst part is that he makes Eli look good. So now that makes us the only team in the division without a big play receiver, unless you consider Moss, but he doesn't really compare to Austin, Jackson and Nicks.

Yeah, but I thought Jennings and Driver were suppose to be "all that" ..... let's see Jennings 2-22 and Driver 4-58 and neither scored, so all I have to say is "whatever" to these great receivers. The Skins also shut down Jackson and Maclin the week before. Teams are obviously moving the ball on the skins, but they havn't scored much on them lately. I see the skins doing the same thing to Manning next week. The Colts seem to be stuggling lately to score as it is.

The Giants and the Eagles both look good. Eagles look like the best team, but we usually match up with them a lot better than we do the Giants. We may have to beat the Eagles twice to finish ahead of them. The Giants, we can probably get away with a split because of our softer non-conference schedule.

Then again, we lost to the Rams who might be better than the Seahawks, and the Bucs are almost certainly a better opponent than the Panthers. So perhaps the Giants have the easiest schedule in the division, considering that Tampa Bay looks like a .500 or better team.

Driver had a number of plays where he beat our coverage downfield and then just dropped the pass.

It's kind of like talking about the 2000 FA spree STILL... :doh:

People still talking about that a decade later...

Yes, I don't like it either, but it has been the Skins "way" for about a decade up until last year w/ the AH signing. Big FA signings, no draft.

good pictures

Aikman loves Norv.

Actually, I found it rather enlightening that all of them came out with a record that showed mediocrity or suckitude, and yet we as fans still approach games against the Lions and Rams with an elitist attitude. We have an ok team, but it's not going to be a world beater by any stretch.

Fair enough. But we don't have to be world beaters the way most teams are playing this year. If we can make to the bye week one or two games above .500, I definitely see us making the playoffs. After that, it's a whole new ball game.

Those are great pics.

Making the playoffs is not a great accomplishment. There are still chump teams in the wild card and divisional rounds who get pounded into oblivion.

We are not a Super Bowl team. There is no reason to be hyper-optimistic about a non-Super Bowl team. We were a Mason Crosby kick from whining and crying today. These gifts are not always going to come, especially as the season drags on.

I'm just happy that this coaching staff is not "deer-in-headlights" and is willing to adjust from week to week so that they have a chance to win. It means that there's hope that we'll be going to the big dance in the near future, provided that we get some good drafts and other acquisitions in. But the team is in a transition and still has kinks to work out, and it's blatantly apparent.

Coming off a 4-12 disaster, making the playoffs would be a pretty nice start to the Shanahan era.

Besides, the NFC is wide open this year and our best ball is yet to be played. You never know.
