OK..BYE's are over: Time to keep track of our Playoff hopes thread

I just don't see it happening ACE, 8-8 is more likely for us. Bears have a tough sched coming up but their 7-3. Green Bay is too good not to finish 10-6 or better. Falcons and saints will get in and unfortunately one of those west teams will make it at 8-8 probably. Eagles will win the East and NY will finish 9-7 at worst. Heck even TB has 6 wins. I'm a homer but I'm a realist also, we won't make the playoffs. D is horrible and our offense is still too inconsistent .

Oh I agree...it isn't looking too good.

My only hope is we find a way to play better on offense and our defense against the eagles was just an anomaly.

If our O-line can give Mcnabb enough time to make the big throws downfield,we might have a shot. We certainly have a good running game and with Williams and ATV are pretty good. Plus we will be getting Portis back who is a great blocker.

But regardless of how good or bad anybody thinks our defense is...if we don't score points,we ain't gonna do it.

and we MUST improve our 3rd down %
We scored 28 points against the eagles and were like 0-12 or something like that on 3rd down in that game...

Imagine how good the offense could be if we converted?

I will say this though...we are a hell of a lot more exciting now with Mcnabb.
We just need to pull it all together.

Anybody else read this in yesterday's WaPo? Our 3rd down % is literally making history. Washington Redskins failing on third-down conversions at historic rate

Kyle Shanny said "I've never been a part of anything like this." Anyone getting tired of hearing that stuff from coaches and players year in and year out? "I've never been around this before." "I've never experienced this kind of losing before." etc, etc. Seems like we hear it every year.

Just once in my adult life I don't want the Skins to be a big fail.
