Are we a playoff team?

Ehhh?

Well I agree with Brian! 2nd half calling was suspect as usual.

The Cards are a good team. No question about that. If Warner was healthy we might have lost today. He didn't look like himself. With that being said I don't know what our game plan was on offense. It was just run here run there and throw some short passes adn screens and punt. The offense today looked like last year's offense.

Skinsfan69, the Cards are not a good team. Let's not get this twisted. They are okay at best, but they're not good.

How can you say that? They have 3 wins. They beat a good Pittsburgh team. They have very good skill players. To me they look like a good team.

They just aren't, in my opinion. Just from an organizational standpoint, everything is new. They don't have a rushing threat to speak of. They don't have, and haven't for the entire season, any consistent play at quarterback. They're defense is up and down. Good individual talent on defense, but very suspect in terms of scheme and being a force. I could go on and on...

Have they played some competive ball this year - yes. But they are not a team the Skins has any business losing to on the final play of the game.

Do you watch football, Edge was second in the NFC in rushing. There defense shut down Willie Parker, who at the time was the top rusher in the league, you really need to look at some Cardinals stats before you talk about there team

Short answer, yes!

There are a lot of obsticles, but we are better than we played today.

12thMan · 10-21-2007, 04:43 PM

Okay, let's not confuse playoff caliber talent with being a playoff team. While we have talent, and have had some splashes of success, I'm not sure what to think of this team to be honest. A new team shows up from week to the next.

That being said, don't be shocked if the Skins are the first team to knock New England from the ranks of the undefeated.

GiantsSuck703 · 10-21-2007, 04:55 PM

Why arent we? because we got a tough test from a team who was atop there division, a team who also battered the steelers. We havent been blown out and we lost two games by a TD and a field goal. Were 4-2 and we managed to beat a good team with half of our offensive line injured, dont underestimate this win or this team.

DynamiteRave · 10-21-2007, 04:43 PM

Exactly, which I feel is why this game shouldn't have been close. The dude had a busted up arm and you let them hang around in the game like that? This game should've been closed out at 21-6.

Paintrain · 10-21-2007, 04:48 PM

We're borderline wild card (5 or 6 seed) right now. If we get Thomas back in December and can get more consistent offensively we can be. Defensively we are but Grilliams needs to dial up the pressure a little more.

Great pt about Thomas, I'm just afraid we'll be too far behind in the Wild Card race by the time he gets back on the field.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

Why would be too far behind? were 4-2 and one of the better teams in the NFC, the Cardinals are alot better than people think
