Plus, another pivotal forced fumble that nearly saved/won the game for us. Too bad it went unrewarded.

Yup. Strangely, the "Andre Carter sucks" crowd has been pretty quiet lately.

As well as the "Portis Sucks" crowd as well.

Yup, there aren't too many people talking trash about the back with the 3rd most rushing yards in the entire league.

Dude's been on fire the last two weeks.

He's really got to stop dancing in short yardage situations though. It's OK to hit the wrong hole if you hit it hard and get the first. That's really the only criticism I have for the guy.

Let us not forget it's all been behind a "makeshift" O-Line as well! Great effort by CP and the O Line the last 2 weeks.

Yeah, very strange indeed. The guy plays well, people don't complain. The guy doesn't play well, and people do complain.

Who'd have figured that?

I know that you were leading the charge on Carter so you're going to defend the Carter-bashing, but why are you going to be a smart-ass? "People" weren't just complaining about his lack of production, they were saying just how awful he is, that it was another boneheaded move by the front office, etc. "People" had given up on the guy and conclusively decided how good/bad he was 6 games into his arrival in D.C. I should know by now that most Redskins fans are impulsive, hastily judge things, and tend to overstate their cases, but I'm still tired of it. The Carter-haters who predicted his "bust-ness" are wrong and now that they have some egg on their faces, they are silent.

If we can somehow make it to the playoffs despite the rash of injuries and get some of those players back including Thomas. Then I say watch out, because of all the playing time the backups have put up, we will be so deep and game ready
which we will make us dangerous. Some of those players will be rested and if healthy around playoff time, I say watch out!! The key of course is making the playoffs. That to me is the silver lining.

That's sort of how I see it too. I hate seeing so many injuries, but allows playing experience for the backups. Even if we don't make it to the playoffs, if we end the season at something like 9-7 or better, I'd call that a pretty good accomplishment for what this team has went through this year.
