[QUOTE=That Guy;226349]that's a lie made to appease the ego of fred smoot. springs just went along with it cause he knew better.[/QUOTE]

I have not been happy with the D this season. But giving up 19 points and the O getting only 3 points that is bad! The D has been holding up there part of this team for two seasons now while the O has been bad to so so. Will Springs make all our problems go away? Not unless he plays on the O side of the ball!!!!

honestly our D is so bad i can't imagine one player can make that big a difference. if springs turns our D back into a top 5 unit by himself, he should be the unquestioned NFL MVP this year, hands down. our O didn't have the ball enough to do all that much. the D didn't give up many points, but they sure didn't help us win either.

not to say i'm excusing the offense. they did nothing as well.

You know what's interesting. Since the beginning of 2005, the Redskins have scored at least 30 points in seven games. Only the Colts have done that more times, with nine games.

Take from that what you will

All that in spite of the worst QB in the league. Amazing.

That can be misleading though. While the Redskins may have had more 30+ point games than all but one other team, eleven teams still scored more points than they did in 2005.

So, in all of the other games, the Skins could be held to 3, like they were against the Giants, or 10 against the Cowboys, while other teams might be more apt to consistently score 21-29 points.

Well scoring 9 against the Bears and getting shutout last year against the Giants didn't help.

But this was just addressed to those who act like every single game for the last two years we've barely managed a couple of field goals. That's all

I am sure both parties can agree that the offense is really hit or miss. Atleast recently.

No, I know what you're saying. The Redskin offense has certainly had its moments. That's a testament to how consistency is so difficult to attain.

Despite the outing against the Giants, I expect the offense to get that way as the season wears on.

The defense though, I have geniune concerns there.
