Funny, but then again the Skins are one of the most storied franchises in the NFL, while the Detroit Lions have only the mid to late 50's to look back on. Today showed without a doubt we have a shitload of holes to fill to get back to real contention. You would have thought Zorn would have really go all out since his boss gave him at least another season.

We had a rookie coach and played in one of the most competitive conferences in the league. An 8-8 is better than a losing season, only in here and among the Redskins faithful, we had a hope of playoffs and superbowls.

The Lions managed to lose every single game in a pretty bad conference. And our loathed Cowboys, who were picked to win the Superbowl, with a whole bunch of superstar players, took a big dump at the end. Once again, you can dwell on the 8-8 and bitch about it all offseason long, or you can see this as a year of getting the kinks of a new headcoach out of the way (without having a losing record) and build the team in the offseason.

This team needs to FIX their offense, and unless that doesn't happen (and it shows) we're going to continue to end our seasons in december or be one and done in the playoffs.

HEY ... everyone!!

I have news that will REALLY make you feel better...

You think you are pissed about our season??

The New England Patriots finish 11 - 5 and OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS! (Sitting at home like Skins)

Feel better?

The NFL needs to REALLY look at the playoff selection system.... geesh.

Eh, it's the Patriots. For once they don't have lady luck on their side. Sure I'd be pissed if this were the Redskins, but (unlike Bill Simmons) I admit this is a biased opinion.

Dude, I am with you!!!!! The D let down and that does suck, but it has been the D that has been carrying the load for most of the 16 game schedule. I don't think our system needs to be revised somewhat or chucked altogether. Dink n dunk crap negates the speed we have and the cannon JC has. It is like tring to get square pegs into round holes. Just can't see how a team that is basically the same as '07 can be so crappy on offense.

Nice post Ruhskins. Perspective is definitely needed right now.
