if this happens, I blame you!

I think this game is officially must-win.

Our offense is going to have to bring it's A-game, because it will be a dog fight right until the end. Our defense isn't going to stop anything, so to quote John Madden, we are simply going to have to score more points than them to win.

I see the game being 45-41 Redskins, unless our offense is lagging, and then we could get blown out badly.

We just have to win this game, period. Even if we win ugly. I have a feeling if we are coming out of the bye at 0-4, our season could be over and we may lose a lot of games this year. I think people will be fired if we turn out a 2 or 3 win year. I think they let Shanahan finish out the season, but if we win 2 games i see him getting the axe. My question is, if you know you are going to fire him, do you wait until the end of the year to give him his dignity, or do you fire him when the skins are officially out of the playoffs?

Is Pryor hurt?

This defense has a terrible time containing mobile QBs, at least historically that's been the case. You'd think our D would be super against mobile QBs because they practice against one!! But it's been the opposite, and given the overall regression from last season it's hard to see that specific thing improving. Ugh.

Pryor took a shot late in the 4th and went out with a concussion. He appeared fine in post game interviews but has to go thru the NFL concussion protocol.

Fortunately for those who had OAK +16, Matt Flynn came thru with the late TD and a push. LOL.

That being said, Pryor appears to be improving with each game....while our D....well

27-24 Skins win, giving us a good feeling going into the bye.

We are going to absolutely ****ing smoke the Raiders! I honestly think we win this game by four touchdowns. We are a better damn team than them! HTTR!!!!!!!
Unfortunately that is the last easy game on the schedule and we finish the year 3-13.

Question; where do we get these 3 wins from?

[Deivybaby]

Lol 23-21 raiders. We play at there homr history shown we have not been good against oakland other than 09. We go up against a much better D who has branch and a good iq FS in woodson who the team also have 3-4 cbs who matches up well against us . There team is physical.


They lost to denver because denver argubly the best team and in no way any team can handle welker/thomas/decker . We arr not the broncos ....our D is thr worst note we also never do good against mobile qbs I don't think rg3 will have the mentality to win in oakland...if they sscore early that's troutrouble.


But you better pray we lose since haz woulsnt be fired if we win...shanny ego will gst him fired too if jim stays the whole year.....no coach will keep a bad DC for 4 years ranking top 5 worst every year

Agree?

Well the eagles and pack are 1-2. They both destroyed us. Detroit beat us and minnesota. They lost to arizona. We have one of the worst defenses in nfl history, and our offense has scored most of its points this year in junk time. If we arent officially horrible than there are no officially horrible teams in the league. I do not count the jaguars because - well just because.
Edit: not saying we cant turn things around, but if we do we can look back at these three weeks as an officially horrible time.

I would much rather have been 1-3 with a loss to the Raiders than any of our first 3 losses

[scowan]

All I know is that if the Redskins lose to the Raiders, I will be doing other things on Sunday's from here on out, as this season will offically be over before it ever began. The Redskins need to never be 4-0 in the preseason ever again. They got the big head.

Why?
Edit: conference games?

[SmootSmack]

Yeah. Road game against an AFC opponent. I'll gladly take the L there over any home and/or NFC opponent
