My soapbox rant Skins Frustrations!

[Spence]

Look, the Skins are going to have to play their best game of the year to beat the Giants. Unless the G-men really lay an egg this Sunday [not likely], the Redskins will have to play better than they have all season. Can they do it? We'll, they should be healthy enough to do it. Of course, it might just be that our best simply isn't good enough against the Giants this year. That happens.

The biggest task will be stopping the run. If we force them to throw I think we win. Our secondary is arguably the best in the league.

The problem I have with Jim Zorn is his playcalling on third down. Several 3rd and 3 situations in the first half, Zorn elected to pass and was unsuccessful and led to several three and outs. It is frustrating to watch a team that has the best running back in the league on the sidelines on third down. Any defense that has studied our offense knows that were throwing the ball to Santana Moss. Zorn has to change his playcalling quick fast and in a hurry if we are to make it to the playoffs, because the Giants are showing the league how to score points with a running game and passing attack. Lets hope Zorn really adds some more aggressive plays down field and hopefully the OL protects JC.

Well the Offense is simply abismal in the redzone. The Defense is starting show wear and tear (especially against the stretch run). Lastly the play calling is seriously lacking and Campbell is reverting to his old ways.

I'm afraid that when this team faces a top tier defense, its gonna lose. We struggle against marginal teams (Seahawks, Browns, Rams, and Lions). I feel we have the talent to beat any team in the NFL, but I don't know whats the problem. My Questions: why can't Davis seem to find his way on the field vs. Yoder? Is there a rule that no more than 1 rookie can be on the field on offense at a time on our team? Why is Campbell still force feeding double covered targets? Does our line seem to get beat way too much in pass coverage? Lastly why does this offense still look the same as last years, and why are people actin like Mike Sellers as a target is something new? Gibbs used him alot! Do we just have too many weapons, they don't know how to utilize them all.

If we face the Giants like we played the Seahawks we will get beat. Please warpath ease my fears? Am I trippin, or am I justified in worrying?

I think you just need to realize what type of team we are. We're simply not good enough to go in and dominate anyone. We don't have the personel to do that. Just be happy that we beat a good team on the road and we're 7-4. Jeez....

Teams are in the league to win the Superbowl, not to get to the playoff and fade away. We Won... so what! we should have won, we have to see ourselves as a good team, a championship caliber team and act like it. If you told me to look at the Giants roster or the Titans roster, I would tell you neither is a championship team or a good team. But they win... why because they have high exspectations. We have to raise our level of play in my opinion. We have too much talent to be strugglin like we are.

How did NY win the SB? They have people on their front 7 that can dominate. They can get after the QB with 4 guys. We can't do that. They have a better O-line. They have more playmakers on offense. Like him or not when Burress feels like playing, he's one of the top wr's in the NFL. He can take over a game. We don't have anyone at the wr position that can do that.

Tenn hasn't won anyhting yet so I'm not crowning them. But I will say they have guys on their D-line and front 7 that dominate. We don't have a player like Hansworth.

one more thing I sorry but I don't buy that Davis, a college educated Mackey Award winnig tightend, who has been in a the pro-offense his whole college career. Played football his whole life can't get this offense. I think we have a Vet- preffered coach.

I agree with you. We need to get him on the field more. If he can't get the playbook then the coaches need to do a better job explaining the shit to him. That's on the coaches as much as it is on Davis.

We don't have a O lin or a D lin. Our QB is average at best. WR's would be 2nd and 3rd if even playing for other teams. Our special teams is not very special and our D backs are getting exposed. The only player on this team that is worth a dam is Clinton Portis. By the time we get all the other player we need CP will be slowing down and near retiring. We also need to revamp our coaching staff and we will never make it to a SB as long as Snyder owns this team.

Yes I just summed up every complaint in one paragraph.

Reading some of these posts, you would think the Redskins had just lost and the playoffs are in jeopardy. Chill Out! Being a Redskins fan, you had better get used to sitting on the edge of your chair. It's a rollercoaster ride and hopefully when they let us off, the Skins will be in the playoffs. Then it's a new season. Anything can happen. Ask the Giants.
