Fred Jackson and Frank Gore are going to run all over our defense.
Our problem is not stopping the run. The Skins have done well the first part of the season. It has more to do with having a really good RB and a QB who can run for yrds (ie; Vick, Newton). The team can't cover both for some reason.

Wow talk about two crushing injuries -- Santana Moss and London Fletcher. Those are the only two guys you can count on week after week.
Shanahan just said Moss is out minimum one game and probably more with a broken hand. Fletcher has a hamstring injury and nobody knows what kind of a timetable that can be.
I disagree. Perfect time to get Riley on the field and start playing. Time for Paul, Hank and Austin to get more time. These are players that are the future, not Moss and Fletcher.

Not unless he plays us for 10 more games, LOL. Rodgers & Brees are still in the NFC.
He's been doing it to everyone in the defense of the defense.

Hmm, honestly, I did.
My List:
Giants- win. we suprise them. (done).
Cards- win. their not that great. (done).
Cowboys- loss. their house. (done).
Rams- win. their not that great. (don).
Eagles- win. our house. (fail).
Panthers- win. new QB. not a good team. suprise. (fail).
Bills- win. their not there yet.
49ers- win. no QB. rookie HC.
Dolphins- win. they just suck.
Cowboys- win. our house.
Seattle- win. Seattle sucks.
Jets- loss. Play off team.
Patriots- loss. play off team.
Giants- loss. their house.
Vikes- win. McNabb...nough said.
Eagles- loss. their house.
I could see 11-5. That was a big cushion so if we started losing games we'd have room. What needs to happen now is we need to:
Beat the Cowboys at home.
Beat the Eagles away.
Beat the Jets to make up for one of the other losses.
Beat the Giants in NY to make up for one of the other losses.
and stay the rest of the course with the other teams. the Bills, 49ers, and Seattle will be tougher then expected.
I said at the beginning of the season I could see 11-5 but 10-6 or 9-7 was a better number. I felt this is a better team then 8-8.
There's always a bad taste in your mouth after a loss, but I don't see how it's a given that we walk away with wins against Buffalo, San Fran, Seatte, or the Cowboys. Everything else sounds about right. There might be an unexpected win somewhere in there.

Clipboard Jesus stunk it up for Seattle today, so who knows.

This team needs a guy who can spark the offense much like how Cam has done for the Panthers. Im guessing we will have a lower teens draft pick and in good position to find a QB. Finding a solid no 1 receiver whether its through FA or the draft should be a close priorty behind QB.
We need to get some serious depth at Safety as well. Laron and OJ cant seem to stay on the field together. Reed is a nightmare. Haslett should be embarrassed in how he prepared the D today. Really poor.
Id consider seriously cutting Barnes. Another f*cking bullshit pick. Guy is pos player

Fletch is out?
He left the game with a hamstring injury. No word on his return for next week. You just never know with hamstrings.

Promising news: Kelli Johnson just said X-rays and initial tests on Hightower's knee were negative.

Barnes has been stinking it up all year. When does Buchanon get back?

I don't think this team will be poor every week. They're just not consistent. One week we're going to see a game like today's, another week we're going to see us go toe to toe with a team better than us. I'm just preparing myself to "stay medium" week to week. One thing's for sure though, in between the injuries and bad play I don't expect us to go on a run this season.
