Redskins say McNabb is still the starter | ProFootballTalk.com

No one's arguing that the Skins aren't better. Just that when you consider that we were really really really bad last year and now we are just really bad, the step up doesn't seem all that attractive.

Really?! You'd have preferred they didnt improve at all. I would actually say they arent really bad, they are .500 team and in today's NFL that's pretty much middle of the road.

Well very disappointing loss to say the least. I did not expect us to play this bad nor this offense to be so inept!

But into the bye we go, couldn't come at a better time.

Hope this team can get it together in the 2nd half, as we have way to many areas that need improvement at the mid point including this coaching staff.

I just wish there wasn't all this worthless drama that gets stirred for two weeks.

Also, the Lions this year aren't the Lions we've watched fail for the last few years. They're actually solid this season. Their defense is VERY good.

Their games:

Lost 19-14 to Bears
Lost 35-32 to Eagles
Lost 24-10 to Vikings
Lost 28-26 to Packers
WON 44-6 over RAMS
Lost 28-20 to Giants
BYE
Won 37-25 over Skins

The only game they weren't competitive in was the Vikings game...and that wasn't even a blowout.

And that's a whos who list of NFC teams. They don't play the Falcons or Saints, but no one else who isn't on that list of Lions opponents has a shot at the playoffs. They will still see the Bucs this year.
