The after London semi-meltdown thread.

[calia]

We have left:

Vikes (home)
Packers (home)
Dallas (away)
AZ (away)
Philly (away)
Carolina (home)
Chicago (away)
NYG (home)

None of these teams is a sure win or loss (Chicago might be the closest thing -- we ought to hammer them), and Carolina, Green Bay, and Arizona aren't looking as scary as they did at the start of the season. But we still haven't put together a complete game, and until we do, we will have at best mixed results against these teams. Honestly, I could see us doing anything between 2-6 and 6-2 (I don't see us doing much worse or better than that) -- and the best case puts us right on the edge of the playoff picture.

Losing (or failing to win) games that you were in until the end (Lions, Bengals, Cowboys) really hurts. The really good teams find ways to win most of those. We're just not there yet.

I feel like we'll finish 8-7-1 and that tie will haunt us.

I think so too. 8-7-1 or 9-6-1 is my next guess.

Hopkins has to make that kick. I typed that right as the Chargers kicker pulled a Hopkins. FG kickers are pudding soft except for like 3 of them.

I'm in SD so they're my AFC team.

But if we finish over .500 and miss the playoffs I won't love it, but it would still be a positive step. 2 straight years over .500 for us is good. I think next year is when we become dangerous. We have extra picks and a nice salary cap situation. Next year I think we go legit. 10 + wins in 2017.

Although I predicted 11-5 this year. We'd have to win 7 of 8 now to get to 11. So I could just be John Denver, full of shit.

I agree, but throw Chicago in there too. We can beat 95% of teams and lose to 100% of teams if we don't bring it.

Penalties and missed FGs killed us. We beat this team on the field.

We do that every week! It's so frustrating but it also shows that we are getting better overall. We used to get beat all around the field. Now it's us doing it to ourselves. Again we had a bad game today for 2 full Qtrs and still didn't lose. Not bad

8 wins is our ceiling. This team lacks a killer instinct and is very inconsistent. I can see us sweeping the eagles and giants, but everyone else is a toss up, and even our divisional games aren't a sure thing.

I said 9-7 I'm sticking with 9-6-1

Someone please tell me Gruden was being sarcastic about saying he didn't know you could tie? And he didn't understand how a team could tie last week? Is he really that fucking stupid?

[SFREDSKIN]

Bengals are ghetto punks!!

WATCH: Bengals and Redskins get into postgame altercation

[Chico23231]

It's really frustrating to hear gruden say "we got to get back to running the ball" or "we abandoned the run there for awhile". He siad this shit after halftime today.

Your the fuckin head coach, do something about it. I've heard this said 3 to 4 times after games, during games.

I'm actually rooting for the Eagles tonight. Still going for 1st place.

There is one game in the win column separating our entire division from top to bottom. We beat the Eagles. We beat the Giants. We gave a game to Dallas. I would hope you are still going for first place. Lol

[punch it in]

10-5-1.

[Chico23231]

These last 2 games should have been wins...just brutal.

I appreciate the fight and how competitive this team is...which is a big positive and really defines this team since this time last last year. Other than that pathetic Pittsburgh game, we have played with the intensity which keeps us in every game.

But what is aggravating is when we fucking dominant our opponent (like we did in the first half today, no question) but we can't get the ball in the end zone for td scores OR have lapses on special teams or dumb penalty or turnover which keeps the opponents in the game with easy scores. I've seen this multiple times this season where we should have 2 score or double digit leads,but we let the other team hang around.

this is what pisses me the fuck off. I blame the coaches and the players...
