I like the way these guys explained what happened today. I couldn't agree more.

I agree too. I still think we should have won but if you watch the video of Cool

ey and Portis going "Ram Hunting" that right there shows you the mindset of the guys. They KNEW they were going to win. And they lost.

Has anyone read Boswell's column today?

Does everyone at The Post hate the Redskins? I thought it was just LaCanfora and Wise who despised them and celebrated their failures (and in LaCan's case tried to create them). The Skins pissed off that litter-box-liner something fierce!

Now we get a column from Boswell sounding darned near gleeful the Skins lost to the Rams.

"Pro football might be a far fairer but less entertaining sport if fumbles and interceptions didn't matter so much." Boswell

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot ?!?!? What does that mean? :roll:

I like the assessment, but time will tell how true it is. I think that this coming week the skins will be back in form. I think that the rookie head coach had his second lesson this past Sunday.

We are going to find out alot about our rookie head coch next week. A coach does not show his greatness/ability when everything is clicking and your beating NFC East opponents on the road, a good coach shows how great he is when his team is down and he is able to motivate his team. Zorn already has shown he has that ability once (after week 1), lets all hope he has it again. If the Skins can come out next week and lay it to the browns, then I will be VERY impressed with Zorns coaching/motivating abilities.

Hopefully we will see many issues addressed on the field but one thing will not change - the WP and that staff will not change until we have a different owner - Snyder's Redskins can win many Super Bowls and that group will still be anti this team and its FO.

We do need to wake up and how great would it be to see the Browns beat the NY giants and then come to our house and play a great game but lose to the Redskins - I'll warrant the WP articles will still be pointing out things that make little sense. :wink:

Things are not that bad right now, 4-2 with a home game vd the Browns after their short week, then off to detorit. It would have been great to be 7-1 but 6-2 will be fine for the Monday nighter vs Pittsburgh.

This loss is painful and could be costly in the end. BUT, what we get out of it is priceless. We shined the light on the areas that needed improvement. The offense is ok, running game is solid, short to intermediate passes looked ok to me. JC protecting that ball was a thing of beauty. The defense stopped them early and often, save for the pass attack on torrence. The BAD:

Special teams, Durant brooks, it was a great 1st punt, then after, everything was forgettable, coverage was mediocre at best as a result. Turnovers, 3 of them, 2 of those can be blamed on O-line play, they can run block, but pass protection needs work. We need to throw deep, keep them honest and keep Moss interested.

I am taking the "bright side" approach to this one. we now know what to improve on, and we know we can score when needed, when was the last time we could make that claim.

Like I said all it takes is a UGLY loss like yesterday, for the haters to show there TRUE colors.

Hail to the REDSKINS!!!!

I do not read the Post anymore - I prefer to get whatever I need here :lol:

That being said - the guys who have absolutely no agenda on how a team is playing thought enough to make us a big favorite last week and again - the early line for the Browns is the Redskins by over 7 points :shock:

Now, I am not at all in favor of betting lines and do not ever bet on football but that is an indication from a group that make a living taking money from people and you all know - they may be wrong sometimes but they are most often right.

The "line" from the post will be dismal both before and after the game but that you can bank on :wink:
