Speaking of Jackson, what is with our playbook where it seems like Jackson is barely a part of the offense outside of the few times he can get open way downfield? Is he not a great weapon for a WR screen attempt or two per game? Could he not be catching short passes, making someone miss and then running away? They have figured out how to utilize Reed all over the field, but it feels like Jackson is being used as a one trick pony at the moment.

Well tight ends are a hell of alot more physical coming off the los than djax would be. But i agree. I feel like we should be able to throw a quick screen or two his way and let him run.

Some of you guys giving up, saying the game was over early in the 3rd quarter... wtf is up with that? Do yourselves a favor and don't even watch the games.

Usually there are people jumping off bridges after the handshake. Third quarter is pretty damn good.

Lol at both your post. I think I've earned the right over 20 years to be pessimistic. Over those years we generally did lose after blowing the lead, and we hadn't won a road game yet this year.

So if you are Positive Pete, good for you, but its reasonable to me negative about this franchise.

I responded to your post, but this wasn't directed at you. This was just in general.

I hear you. I was one of the most pessimistic people on this board during the Shanahan era. However imo we have now a real GM. Best since Beathard. We have a young QB who seems to be quite capable, especially in clutch time. We have a rookie head coach, who although seems to be learning on the fly, I would take over several of our coaches in the 20 years you are referring to. We have a team that doesn't give up. So I guess that not only is it easier to keep the faith on gameday(especially when we are winning or tied!). Lol. However it is also easier even in a loss to see the future is bright. It isnt that same old burn down the dumpster fire full of overpaid past their prime vets that leave us in cap hell with no draftpicks coming around the bend. This is a totally different franchise.

I pretty much agree with this whole post. My comment was more specific towards this game. As a whole, we are clearly making progress. And its easy to be more negative when an actual game is going south.

I 100% have trust in Scott.

Gruden pisses me off sometimes, but have also been impressed. I'm not a fan of hiring / firing coaches fast. He should get at least 3 years, and I think every coach should.

Excited to see what SM pulls off this off season.

Yeah, agree completely. Everything McC has done this year has turned to gold. Unless he drinks himself to oblivion this offseason, he's shown us hope.

1) Draft picks (Crowder, Jarett, M.Jones, ??Smith, ??Scherff)
2) FAs (Will Blackmon, R.JeanFrancois, D.Hopkins, ?Knighton, M.Foster, Dunbar, ?Carriker, ?Gallette, ?Culliver, ?Goldson - at least a leader),
3) Support for Gruden benching Griffin

This is a competent GM who makes more right decisions than not. We are better this year than last and we expect to develop a core team

Wish McC found us a blocking TE however. Hamm and McCoy sucked. Carriker has been okay and has potential

Hmmm what was the Gnats record when they won the superbowl in 2011, 9-7, lets go for that.

[Evilgrin]

If the skins win 7 or 8 games this year, that is a massive improvement.

Right now we would play Seattle. I don't see us beating them but u never know

Because they beat Minnesota head to head? Always Seattle in the playoffs? Wtf? Well if we do get in and get Seattle atleast it will be at home.

Doc Walker had a great comment during the game right after the Bears a bad penalty. "It is like watching our team play themselves"
