The 2016 "Worst Case Scenario" Thread
 

I want to apologize in advance if this doesn't belong here, but i myself have experienced severe negativity, and have fallen victim to "over-reaction city" as Matty expertly pointed out. I thought having a thread like this would be great for us to use to post our negative thoughts instead of clogging up the gameday or post-game threads.

So i'l start off:

Absolute worst case scenario: 0 - 3 wins
Outcome: Gruden and entire staff are fired, Redskins draft #1 overall.

"middle of the road" scenario:between 6 and 8 wins
Outcome: What many people expected during preseason, we will be looking to possibly add a QB depending on how bad Cousins does, and load up on a few more skill players, possibly look for a new DC.....

Maybe i didn't explain myself well enough. I made the thread so that we could keep all the negative posts / thoughts in one thread when things go bad. I thought it was a good idea. Thats why I said if not, this thread could be deleted no problem...

Oh no need to pull the thread. And I get the explanation - and you are right that some of the other threads are filled with negativity. Not surprising given the 0-2 start. It's not a bad idea at all. It may even be our collective form of therapy. This team really does create a need for it....

That's not that bad of a problem to have.

Re: The 2016 "Worst Case Scenario" Thread
 

OK, so I've been on vacation and just getting back. Totally missed the game, but saw we lost so I'm not rewatching that mess on DVR. Looking at the stats, the Cowboys didn't exactly dominate us offensively, so what happened?!

Re: The 2016 "Worst Case Scenario" Thread
 

The blame falls mostly on the defense, but we also had some pretty poor QB play, and once again not really much of a running game.

It was still a bad loss and really this loss started the whole "dumpster fire" thing that's going on and all of the dumpster fire memes that are making their way around the internet concerning our dear old skins.

The problem I think we have now, is that with the defense, KC or McCoy or whomever is going to have to put up 30 + points even for us to have a shot at winning the game. Hence the whole "worst case scenario thread". With this defense I am seeing between 2 and 3 wins with the offense currently the way it is righrt now. If Cousins can get his shit together and be able to put up 30 points every game, then we could surprise some and go 8-8 or 9-7 again, which is probably good enough to make the playoffs

Our defense has a lot of holes and it is not very good. But the offense hasn't been helping the defense. We have a whopping 6 points off turnovers this season. Our 3rd down percentage is around 36%; in two games we have only converted 8 times (out of 22 attempts).

I don't think our offense has a lot of holes, and I think we have the talent for our offense to be able to overcome the holes we have on defense. But the past two games have proven otherwise.

I'm not going to give the defense a pass, and they need to improve. But I expect the offense to play better, and that should be enough to perform better than we have in the past two games.

We have a bad season and get more high picks, there are some nice DL in this draft at the top.

I agree and essentially said the same thing in another thread. Last week the Skins scored 23 points which was enough to win in 9 other games but the D let a bad Cowboys team score 27. This offense better be firing on all cylinders to score >30 points needed to have a chance to win.

I thought the last draft was strong on DL. What happened?

Not being critical, I guess there's just so much you can do in one draft. Or two. But DL and C has got to be rising on the priority list. And I didn't mind the Doctson pick at all. Great player and the right move for cap purposes next season...

Im just talking about guys going in the top 10, the guy from A&M is a beast.

Re: The 2016 "Worst Case Scenario" Thread
 

Worst case scenario is Cousins continues to play bad and gets benched then we bring in McCoy or Sudfeld and only win like 4 games, then we get a top 5 pick and take another QB.

If that QB pans out, this becomes a best case scenario. If he didn't it would be an even worse than worst case scenario if that's a thing.

What are the chances that we see McCoy / Sudfield this year?

Me personally - I think McCoy will be ready on the sideline for the Giants game. If it turns ugly quick - like Cousins has 3 or 4 INTS by halftime, I think McCoy goes in and the job is his for as long as the skins still have a chance to make the playoffs. I think Sudfield comes in when we are mathematically eliminated.

If we win with McCoy then we did the right thing and everyone will be happy, If Sudfield comes in and shows promise then maybe we have our 2017 starter....

To be fair, a lot of those DLs that were projected to be late first rounders, dropped down all the way to the third or fourth round. So it is not like we didn't pick them and the next team picked them in the first round.

Agreed though that DL should be a priority. We can't be going around with a patchwork/mediocre line. Especially when we have talented players in the edge (Kerrigan/Preston) and the secondary (JNo).

I hate the very existence of this thread, just two games into frickin' the season.

ShakySnake forgets to take his medicine and we end up with this pathetically negative thread. Then people who call themselves Redskins fans actually post serious responses to it!

At this point in the season, this thread is 100% bullshit to me.

Snake, honestly I would be interested in a psychiatrist's assessment of you. I definitely can tell you're diagnosed anxiety disorder and depressive disorder, with possible evidence of schizophrenia.

Take your medicine and try to relax. I'm being entirely serious.

I thought I was clear enough stating that myself, as well as others here, were deep in negativity at only two weeks into the season. My hope, was that we could use this thread to keep the negativity in one place, instead of clouding the gameday and post-game threads with the negative posts, etc..

So obviously it was a bad decision to start this thread in hindsight. However, in all that has occured on these boards, and we have been through everything from bad seasons to threads that are now in thread hell / debating with the enemy, and I have NEVER personally attacked another member here like you did to me.

"Resident Hypochondriac"? Do me a favor and please self identify as something so that I can return the favor. Please. Because i want to insult you over something you don't have control over. Am I allowed to make some kind of politically incorrect joke or ethnic slur? Would that be okay?

SS84 I apologize for how harshly you took that phrase. I thought I was clear that I was in deep negativity about the negativity on the board.

Seriously though I do apologize if my characterization offended you.

Bottom line is that SS84 really just puts a voice to all of our innermost fears. We as Redskins fans have witnessed 20 some odd years of a dumpster fire from ownership on down. To a man (and Rave [emoji4]) every one of us is waiting for the axe to fall. Whether its during a single game or over a season we all no how quickly something can go up in flames around here. We all think it. We all fear it. You see it during the gameday threads. We are winning in the fourth quarter. One little thing happens and everyone is "here comes the meltdown". "Ive seen this before". "Same old Redskins".
Snake just doesn't hide it like we all do. I for one appreciate this thread as a negativity funnel. Dont know if it is realistic, as every other thread is going to roam the spectrum of emotions and be roses than crap, but its a Solid (snake) idea.
Even if i said it should be shot. [emoji51]

I completely accept your apology. I hope there are no hard feelings. I did get offended because about two years ago, I first asked for help on this board because I wasn't feeling like myself, and lo and behold I went to see my family doctor and I was diagnosed with anxiety. I was prescribed meds and after about a month I really started feeling great and back to normal again. Sometimes I have my down days (The redskins seem to help that :) ), so it really hurt my feelings.

And I want to give you credit - I have posted threads in here before about needing medical advice / etc., so I sort of got where the "hypochondriac" label came from. I want to sincerely thank you for apologizing. Even if it was not needed because I took something the wrong way, you went above and beyond. Classy poster for clearing that up. Thank you again.
